Connecticut River Railroad Stockhold-
ers to Meet in Springfield, Mass,
September 20.

BOSTON, Sept 13.-Stoc kholders of
the Connecticut River railroad will meet
in Springfield Sept. 20 to voice their
approval or disapproval of the com
pany's opposing the reorganization Of
the Boston & Maine system, of which
the Connecticut River is a leased part.
1t was the attitude of the Concord &
Montreal and the Connecticut River
against the proposed reorganization
that precipitated the Boston & Maine
into the hands of receiver.
The Connecticut River fell into the
.receivership virtually at the same
stroke. 1t had 81 100000 obligation to
meet, no funds and no guarantee from
the Boston & Maine after that road
went under federal court jurisdiction.

tors, though not unanimous, had fol
lowed the Lead of President Kimbal

TO FORM FARM AND
BUSINESS UNION
Program for Conference to Be Held in
Springfield Friday and Sat
urday Announced

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. ID. -
of the program for the
New England farm and business confer
ence in the municipal auditorium III
this city on Friday and Saturday next
yentional rule for such gatherings, this
will be almost wholly deliberative
assembly. Its prime purpose is the or
ganization of permanent New Eng
land Farm and Business union.
The secretary of the committee which
issued the call for the conference re-
ports that 50 many of the letters of ac-
ceptance contain suggestions of topics
for discussion that the committee has
decided to invite the men who will be
present to conduct the sessions largely
according to their own ideas, under tine
guidance of a chairman who will keep
the business in hand always before the
house.
Many of the letters received by tic
committee lay emphasis ON one of tic
main ideas of the assembly as expressed
by Theodore n. Vail, the need OF estab-
fishing in New England of such clear
ing house as the Eastern States exposi-
tion will provide for the transfer of the
progressive thought and methods Of
the enterprising communities to those
not yet awake to their possibilities
thus making all New England as ad
vanced as the best of it.
The conference will have the active
assistance in the conduct of its sessions
of the members of the committee Theo
dore n Vail of Vermont, f. Bcrtral
/ Pike Of New Hampshire, William 7

Allies Press Ahead on Whole
125-Mile Front in Big
Offensive
ONE BATTLE LASTED
THIRTY-SIX HOURS
Clash Resulted in Enormous Losses to
the Bulgarians, Who Are Reported in
Full Retreat, Pursued by the Allied
Forces.

UICCS
PARIS, Sept. 13.-On a front which
with its convolutions, measures close to
l25 miles the allies are hammerlng the
Bulgarians in Macedonia. Activity is
reported as far west as Banica, west Of
Lake Ostrovo, and as far east as the
eastern bank of the Struma. All along
this extended line the Bulgarians Jared
badly.
At the extreme. west the Serbian ar
tillery was very active against Banica
Sixty niiles-to the east, as the crooked
battle front measures the distance, a
lively artillery duel is in progress near
Lake Dorian, and q systematic bonn
bardment of the Bulgarian positions at
Makukovo is in progress. Makukbvo is
just west of the Nardar, and up the
Vardar valley the allied strategy is said
to contemplate its principal advance.
Further to the east again the Bull
garians suffered their greatest defeat,
where, according to the French official
announcement, the allied troops took all
the Bulgarian trenches on front of
two miles and to a depth of 500 yards
Some prisoners were taken III this bat
, tie, which, according to unofficial de-
spatches from correspondents, lasted
thirty-six hours and resulted III enor-
nous losses to the Bulgarians, who are
reported in full retreat, pursued by the
allies.
/ At the allies extreme right the Brit
i ish also pushed forward successfully
The troops which crossed the Struma
+, yesterday took trenches today on the
eastern bank The enemy suffered
/ heavily by rifle and artillery fire dur
ing his retirement and again was pun
ished severely when making counter at
4 tacks. The British took the village Of
| Nevolyen by assault.
/ The official report from Berlin as re
ceived here asserts that the Bulgar'
were successful on the Struma front
4 but says a lively artillery duel is il
progress in the Nardar sector.
The Petit Parisien learns from
semi official source that the Bulgarian
have evacuated all the forts at tn
Greek seaport OF kavala, which they oc
cupied last month. The forts were o
no further use to them, having los
their military value upon the arriva
of the warships of the allies.

GOOD ROADS DAY.

At a meeting of the Commercial Club
held on May 25th committee was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for a
Good Roads day. This committee has
decided that Wednesday, June 7th,
weather permitting, will be the day
when all citizens who can and are will
ing to do so, will donate their time and
efforts toward improving the roads. The
stretch of road which it is planned to
work on during the day is the road be-
tween Custer and -Four Mile. There are
a number of places in this road that need
fixing and each and every one who can
possibly do so is urged to come out and
share in the good work. The roads are
used more or less by every member Of
the community and every one should
take personal interest in keeping them
in the best possible condition at all
times.
The last Good Roads day was held on
April 25th and work was done on the
road between Custer and the Sanitarium.
About 30 men were present together
with four teams and much excellent
work was accomplished in the way Of
picking out rocks, filling up chuck holes
and smoothing up theroad. The county
road grader was also used to good advan-
tage. One especially bad place a short
distance below the Strickland ranch was
repaired in a way that should make it a
permanent job. About Is feet of the
rocky point at the sharp turn in the road
was removed ard the rock was laid as a
foundation in the bed Of the road. About
foot and half of earth was then
placed on the top of this foundation and
when the whole becomes packed down
By use it will be in excellent shape. The
culvert was made longer and wider so
that it will accommodate a greater vol
ume of water so that we need not expect
trouble at this place Tor some time to
come. Another very bad place that re-
ceived special attention was some dis
tance beyond the Smith ranch. A num-
Der of trees which shaded the road and
seriously interfered with the road dry
ing out were removed and the place

HILL CITY SCENE OF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY

HILL CITY SCENE OF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
AS the result of a family quarrel Cliff
Baker, aged thirty-two, a rural mail
carrier at Hill City, shot and killed his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Alexander Carpen-
ter, aged sixty-eight, at the Baker home.
one mile northwest of Hill City, shortly
after 1890 a. m. Sunday morning. He
then took his own life, using a rifle Of
heavy calibre to do the shooting
The trouble is said to have been the
outgrowth of a long quarrel between
Mr.. Baker and his mother-in.law. Mr..
Baker had been the husband of Mrs.
Carpenters daughter for about one year.
During that time, it is stated, Mrs. Car
penter had several times tried to get
her daughter to leave her husband and
there had been several quarrels in
which Mrs. Carpenter and Mr.. Baker
were the principals.
When word was received at Rapid
City Coroner DR.. II. L. Jackson, States
Attorney Patrick Egan and Deputy
Sheriff Clyde Cessna left for the scene
of the crime. On their arrival at Hill
City coroner's jury, consisting Of c.
McEachron, E. b. Hultz and Louis
Knowles, was selected and evidence
taken in the matter.
The iury's conclusion was that Mrs.
| Carpenter came TO her death by gun
shot wound, the same having been in
flicted by a gun in the hands of Cliff
Baker, her son-in-law, who then took
his own life with the same weapon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Carpenter
came to Hill City little over year ago
moving there from Wall. Mrs. Carpen-
ter is survived by her husband.
Baker is survived by his wife, his
mother, who lives at Custer, and several
brothers and half brothers. Mrs. Baker
had been married before and had two
children, aged five and eight years,
Mr.. Baker was rural mail carrier be-
tween Hill City and Deerfeld. Rapid

The state live stock commission will
be asked at its next meeting in June to
modify the order prohibiting the ship
ment of any female stock into this state,
except from the range sections, until a
tuberculin test has been made. The
regulations in most states are that no
female stock shall be brought in for
dairy purposes without the test, but for
beef purposes it is not required. In this
state it was found that many cattle
brought in for beef purposes, were found
in dairy herds later, and the stricter
regulations were promulgated, which is
the cause of complaint from many
sources, and modification of the order
is asked for.
