.Tillers of Soil Win 10 to 4 Victory at
Picnic Grounds.

Superior team-play and better
knowledge of the fine points of the
game enabled the Farmers baseball
team to humble the Bemidji mer-
chants in a game played at the Lar
son picnic grounds yesterday after
noon, 10 to 4, in six innings. It
would have been larger but the Mer-
chants thought it time to quit. The
fielding of Captain Trafton of the
Farmers and the hitting Of Carl
Erickson, Bert Grover and Chris
Larson, were features of the contest.
Three hurlers, Denu, Baer and Get
chell, endeavored to bring victory to
the merchants but their offerings
were hit to all corners of the lot. The

DEATH WINS RIGHT OF
WAY FOR RAILROAD

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 49,
Death defeated Robert J. McNamara,
20, and now great railroad will
push it's lines through his property
after years of delay through McNa-
mara's implacable opposition. On
several occasions he drove railroad
gangs off with a shotgun.
Mcnamara was one of the oldest
characters ever known in these parts.
At death he was a trapper, prospect
tor, gambler and hermit. He came
here thirty years ago and his ex-
perience included successful mine
owner, stage robber and convict. For
robbing a stage he served ten years
of a 14year sentence in the Colorado
penitentiary.
The body of the old man was found
in his lonely cabin, death having
come from natural causes with the
aid of starvation. He had for some
time protested the right of way of a
railroad near his retreat.

THIEVES AT WORK LAST NIGHT
Entered Offices of Two Lumber Com
panies-Nothing of Value Taken.

Offices of the St. Hilaire and Smith
Robinson Lumber companies were
broken into by robbers sometime last
night, but aside from the breaking
of locks no damage was done as they
failed to secure anything of value.
The work of the robbers is of an
amateur nature with the exception of
the fact that at the st. Hilaire they
tore a fastener from the rear door
and picked the combination of the
safe in real professional style. They
then took the cash box to the rear
where they inspected its contents but
took only 25 cents worth of postage
stamps and Is cents worth of rev.
enue stamps. At the Smith-Robin-
son company office the lock to the
front door was broken and the cash
drawer ripped from it's fastenings.
The safe combination had been left
unlocked. Both lumber companies
deposit their cash each afternoon
and why the robbers expected that
anything of value was to be obtained
is not known.

BRINGS MUCH Benefit
Friendly Feeling Existing Between
Bemidji Merchants and Community
Farmers Attracts Comment.
PICNIC ENJOYED BY LAWMAKERS

Bemidji's visitors of Thursday
brought here by the legislative ex-
cursion, marveled at the remarkable
friendly feeling which exists between
the merchants of the city and farm
ers of the county, as displayed at
the big picnic.
They were Informed that for sew
eral years the merchants and farm
ers have been cooperating in an
effort to solve problems of progress
and development, and that the pic
mic, given in honor of the merchants
Of Bemidji and other surrounding
towns was but an example of the
friendliness which exists between
city and country today.
1T is evident" said Senator
George Gardner of Brainerd, former
ly court reporter in this judicial
district, that the farmers and busi-
ness men of Bemidji realize the i'm
portance of cooperation and that
they have established a trust and
relationship which cannot help but
bring benefits to merchants and till
er of the soil alike The members of
our party are surprised to see the
spirit of cooperation, so universally
desired, so evident here today"
At the picnic more than 1900 per-
sons were fed and it is believed that
had the weather conditions been
more favorable that at least 1000
more farmers would have been
present.
According to Bueford M. Gile,
agriculturist, the following Farmers
clubs assisted in making the picnic
successful: Bemidji Farmers club;
Eckles Farmers Development asso-
citation, FROM Equitable Farmers
club, Northern Farmers Improvement
club, Pleasant Valley Wide Awake
Farmers club, Solway Farmers club,
Turtle River Farmers club, Lam
mers Farmers club, accompanied by
it's splendid band, Laporte Farmers
club, Swenson Lake Farmers club
and Nary Farmers club.
1t is planned to make the picnic
an annual affair, and the announce
ment to this effect was greeted with
cheers by the Bemidji merchants.

RUSSIANS REPULSE
AUS7RO GERMANS
Capture $500 Men and 2O2 Officers in
Fighting East of stryj-Enemy
Crosses Dusister.
CANADIAN MECHANICS NEEDED
Slavs Cross Own Frontier and Troops
of Kaiser Now Within Is
Miles Of Lemberg.
(United Press)

Petrograd, June 8.-Austro-Ger.
man troops have crossed the Dusiste1
fifteen miles northeast of Stanislau
1t was officially admitted this after
noon that the Russians east of Stryj
have repulsed the enemy and took
2O2 officers and $500 men.
Late fighting in Galicia has de-
veloped nothing to stem the Austro-
German advance toward Lemberg
from the west and northwest, and
last night the Russians were rre-
treating over their own frontier to-
ward Tarnagrod, about four miles
from the Galician border. This
means the invasion of Russian ter
ritory at new point, but according
to military observers there, it may
spell an ultimate advantage for the
Russians in the general Russian re-
tirement, northward into Poland,
which would divert Liningen's at
tempt to crush the Russian center
near Zuzawna, which would effec-
lively sever the communications oe-
tween the Russian army in South
eastern Galicia and Bukowina.
According to Berlin, the Austro-
German forces have battered through
Jaworow, only 25 miles to the west
of the Galician capitol With the
three great masses of Austro- Germans
thus sweeping from the San toward
the capitol city, the prediction is
made that the decisive battle, if one
is fought, will take place in the vic
unity of Grodek
Submarine Warfare.
On the naval side of the war an
Austrian submarine has sunk the
italian submarine Medusa. The Ath-
ems report credits British submar-
inc with sinking three Turkish trans
ports loaded with troops in the Dar-
danelles. A German submarine has
sunk the British coasting steamer

TERRIFIC STORM VISITS
KANSAS AND MISSOURI
(United Press)

Kansas City, Mo-, June 18.-A ter
rifle storm has ragged through Kansas
and Missouri and vague stories that
many are dead as a result have been
discredited. It is believed that seven
lives were lost during the. storm.
Reports from Jefferson City, Mo-, that
many had been killed there were dis
credited and when telephone COM
munication was restored it was found
that there had been no casualties,
although some damage was reported.
Throughout the state it is impossible
to ascertain the amount of damage
done on account of wires being down.
The damage to crops cannot be esti-
mated.

PEDDLERS NEED FIVE LICENSES

Although peddlers need five per-
mits to vend their wares in st. Cloud,
it was said today that there are
quite a few of them there. It is
necessary for a peddler to get a
state license, for which the peddler
must pay SIS. Then he must have
licenses in Stearns, Benton and Sher-
burn counties, each, because the city
lies in the corners of the three coun-
ties. Finally, he must run the
chance of being refused city license
and losing his entire deposit.

RETREAT OF <><4vS
T0HAVEINFLCz%%e
IN WARS RESUL
Conquest of Bessarabia Being Planned
by TeutOnic Allies to Follow
Freeing of Galicia.
IS RUSSIAN BORDER PROVINCE
Should They Be Successful One of
Three Results Will Probably Fol-
low-Petrograd to Be Tempted.
BY J. W. II. MASON.

New York, June 1S-The retreat
Of the Russians from southeastern
Galicia into Bessarabia may event
ually prove to be one of the turning
points of the war. The conquest Of
Bessarabia, apparently, is being plan
ned by the Teutonic allies as their
next step after the freeing of Galicia;
and on the success Of this new Of
fensive may hang the final attitude
of the Balkan states toward the war
Bessarabia is one of Russia's bor-
der provinces. 1t forms the eastern
boundary of Rumania. One-half the
population is Rumanian. The rest
Of the people are of various races
and include many German agricul-
turists. Rumania wants to annex
Bessarabia, and has demanded that
province from Russia as part of her
price for entering the war on the
side Of the Allies. The czar, how
ever, is reluctant to part with any
of his territory and Rumania's claim
has not been accepted at Petrograd.
Three Results Possible.
If, however, the Austro-G ermans
demonstrate an ability to overrun
Bessarabia, as may possibly happen
during the coming summer, any one
of three results might follow, capable
Of exerting important Influences on
the future of the war. After con-
Quering Bessarabia, the TeutOns
might offer it to Rumania in ex-
change for Rumania's benevolent
neutrality during the remainder Of
the war.
A second possibility is that, before
Bessarabia passes into the possession
Of the Teutons to do with as they
like, Russia herself may offer it to
Rumania, fearing that any way it's
loss to the Slavs had become a pos
sibility. @s .~~.
"A separate PeaCe.
The third, and most serious pos
sibility of all, is that Russia might
agree to a separate peace with Aus
tria and Germany rather than to
part with Bessarabia at all. The
Teutonic allies would be willing to
guarantee the integrity of the Rus
sian empire if the czar were to agree
to withdraw from the war
Petrograd would be tempted from
the western allies if the Constantine
ople campaign continued to show dis
appointing results. Under these cir
,cumstances, therefore, to carry the
war into Bessarabia must now be-
come part of Germany's major
strategy.
