TERRIBLE LOSSES

Most Valuable Two Acres in

BRITISH FRONT, IN FRANCE.
Oct. 15-(Via London, Copy

completing the capture of the
Schwaben redoubt on the ridge
above Thiepval, the British took
one prisoner for every yard of
front, or 280 for less than 300
yards, not to mention the number
killed by the artillery prepara-
ton and in the hand-to-hand
fighting before the survivors sur
rendered. The Germans man.
ming the trenches and those in
the dugouts could hardly have
been crowded int oone line back
of the parapet. This gives an
idea of the Importance the Ger
mans attached t othat last bit of
high ground along their old
trench line south of Ancre on the
Thiepval ridge, which their des-
perate resistance had character
lied as the most precious two
acre plot in all France. After
the British got their first half of
the redoubt, the Germans made
repeated counter attacks to re-
cover possession of it and for the
last week there has been no ces-
sation of fighting.

Cathay, N. D., Oct. 17.-Former
Governor John Burke was today
challenged by J. w. Brinton to a
debate here on Oct. goth at P. M,
on the Moss-Hollis rural credits law,
and the 1866, 100000 military ap-
preparations of the Wilson admins
tration. 1t is expected that Mr..
Burke will accept or send notice of
an alternate date if his engagements
do not permit his attending this
meeting
Mr.. Brinton is touring the state
under the auspices of the State Re-
publican Central committee, and has
number of other speaking dates
open in all of which he has announc-
ed he will hold himself open to meet
Mr.. Burke upon issues of the recent
campaign.
Mr.. Brinton is we'll known as a
fluent and ready debater, and has a
fund of information at his command.
During the primary campaign in
June he successfully vanquished op-
ponents in several debates which
had been widely advertised and were
attended by hundreds of people.
North Dakota's former governor is
also classed as one of the best plat
form speakers of this state.
why are you upholding the
Moss-Hollis rural credit law as farm
er legislation, when you know this
was framed as a bankers law and
by the bankers and has been de-
nounced as a fraud and a fake by
the largest farmer organizations in
the country" is one of the ques-
tions. Another deals with the fed
eral reserve bank act, another to
military preparedness, in the fol-
lowing words:
why are you supporting an ad-
ministration which has passed the
largest appropriation Tor militarism
in single year of any nation in the
history of the world in times of

ed to the place to find the dwelling
completely ablaze. Other neigh
bors soon arrived, but nothing could
be done to save the building.
During all of the excitement, moth
ing was to be seen of Wilkinson and
his child. Firmly convinced that
their bodies were feeding the flames,
the neighbors sent in call to Man
dan for the Morton county coroner
and the county attorney.

child, was seen leaving the house at
5 o'clock in the evening. Question

CLAIMS RIGHT TO SELL
APPLES FROM CAR

kato, Minn., shipped to jamestown,

lots, and today he learned Of rule
established by the railroad company,
that such car load shipments OF ap-

man paid the license required by the

arose as to his legal right to dispose
of his property in any manner that

He claimed that the attempt to
prevent him doing so was in the in

objected. The public, or the consum-

1T is not the hog hunter but the
crows that are responsible to a great
