The German losses in the effort to
take Ncrdun now are known TO reach

will gradually let go Of Nerdun and
before winter will try to shorten their

DISMISS CHARGE AGAINST

Minot, N. D., July 24.-The cares
against the Pinkerton detectives who
were arrested on charge of shooting
with intent to do bodily harm at Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Nomolke, were dis.
missed by Police Justice John Lynch
late yesterday evening, after pre-
liminary hearing which had lasted al
most all day, and which had been adj
journed from time to time since the
arrest of the men, couple of days
after the alleged shooting.
The case against John Stocking
was dismissed on the grounds that he
was not the man who did the shoot
ing. There was but one shot fired
and the two accused men swore that
it was fred by Davis McGillguddy,
the other man under arrest. There
was nothing for the officers to do, if
this story was believed, except to dis
miss the case against him.
The accused man swore that they
fired in the air and not in the direc-
ton of the automobile. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nomolke were too much occupied
with getting away at the time to stop
to see the course of the bullet. They

LAND RUSH ON
At W|LL|ST0N
New Homestead Law Causes In.
road of Settlers Who Want
Land. H.:

Williston, N. D., July 24.-One of the
greatest land rushes known in years
occurred here this week as the result
Of information Of a new homestead
law recently passed by congress which
permits homesteaders who have al
ready proved up on less than 800
acres OF land which now lies within
the designated area, to take add.
tional land to make up their entry OF
800 acres. The feature of the new
law is that the new land so taken
does not have to adjoin the old home
stead but may be anywhere and il
within 20 miles OF the original entry
residence may be maintained on the
first homestead in order to prove up
the new. ..
Information concerning the passage
Of the law was received from Con.
gresham, P. D. Norton, and the news
spread rapidly among the homestead
ers In position to benefit by the
liberal provisions Of the measure.
More than 10000 acres of govern
ment land has been filed upon since
Monday, and although official Motif
cation of the law has not been receiv-
ed ut the Williston land office, Of
hcials are accepting the applications
for additional land In orded, and will
act on them as soon as the formal
notice is sent from Washington.
Under the new law the land re.
naming in the Williston land district
will quickly pass into private hands,
the. 10000 acres filed for in the last
week equalling practically the entire
filings for the year previous. Little,
II any of the land still to be had, is
At for agricultural purposes, but is
rough and broken land suitable for
grazing. Farmers who have secured
government homestead of 100 acres
Of good agricultural land will seize
the opportunity now to file upon the
grazing land for use in pasturing
stock. ....s ......
During the year ending June 30,
$4,000 acres of yand in the Williston
district passed from the government
into the hands Of homesteaders in the
I'VE counties which make up the Will
liston land district. This land was
filed upon by $50 different persons.
On the first of July, 1915, where were
81, 4S9 acres Of free government land
In the Williston district. On the same
date, this year, there were 69,444
acres remaining, Of which 10000
acres has been filed on this week,
leaving less than $4,000 acres in the
entire district.
