DR.. MAClACHLAk RETURNS
FROM MEXICAN BORDER

DR.. II. M. MacLachlan returned
Wednesday night on No. / from Mer-
cedes, where he has been with off.
GERS and men of the First regiment,
N. D. N. G., for the past two months.
DR. MacLachlan has resigned his
commission as captain Of the medical
corps of the regiment, and though
now on furlough, expects that his re-
signation will be acted upon in the
near future, thus relieving him. DR..
MacLachlan requested his discharge
owing to the fact that he is needed
at home to care for his business; and
as it looks as though the difficulty on
the border has been patched up, he
was of the opinion that his services
were no longer necessary on the
Mexican frontier.
DR.. MacLachlan states that the
boys of the North Dakota regiment
are in the best of health, but more
or less anxious to get home.
w. A. Stickley has also applied for
a discharge and it is expected that
he will soon be back in Bismarck.

Husband of Woman Threatened

Bemidji, Minn., Sept. 14.-Mrs. Will
liam Irving and her 5-ycar-old son
were found dead in their home near
Kelliher today, with bullet holes
through their heads. Although mys.
terry surrounds the double killing,
the authorities say they are of the
opinion the case is that Of murder
and suicide. A thorough search is
being conducted by tiies police for the
father of the dead woman. He has
been living with his daughter and
grandson during the absence of Will
liam Irving, husband Of the dead wo.
man, who has been working in the
Dakota harvest fields.
Early this week Mrs. Irving drove
into kelliher and told a story of be.
ing threatened by her husband, who
wrote her, she said, and declared he
intended to marry another woman
and was coming home to kill her and
their son. She asked the authorities
to protect her. Her actions were SO
strange that it was decided to take
her into custody. Last night Deputy
Sheriff O. M. Skinzik went to the
lonely home in an automobile, accom-.
panied by the driver. When he ap'
preached the house someone inside
opened fire with rifle. The automo
bile was peppered by tile shots. The
car stalled and. the two. men took
refuge behind it.
A few hours later Skinzik got his
car going, but decided to wait for
daylight before returning to the
house.
Returning, there was no answer to
his knocks. and together with all
thorities who had come from Kelli
her, he entered the house. The son
was, found lying .@Jtils. asaI,tg raos'l
with bullet hole through his head
In the bedroom they found Mrs. Irv
ing, dead, in welter of blood. Near
her was rifle.
Search was instituted for her faith
er, but no trace of him could be
found. Police incline to the theory
that he has been killed.
No one has seen the husband and
it is believed he is in North Dakota

Neither Mayor Mitchell nor members
of the commission, tonight, would
announce definitely the plans they
have in mind for settling the strike.
Although a score of persons were
injured, several of them seriously,

lively little violence. Subway and
elevated service continued about
normal.
Frederick w. Whiteridge, presi.
dent of the Third Avenue Railway
company, tonight invited the strikers
to return to work, promising better
working conditions and an increase
in wages amounting to $4,000 year
Mr.. Whiteridge said he had decided
upon this course, because "the Third
Avenue officials were convinced that
many of the strikers had been bull.

American-Mexican commission tomor'

cials.
No definite plan for border patrols
has taken shape in the minds of the
commissioners. The Americans con-
ferred with General Bliss again to-
day.
1t was indicated that the proposal
which has appealed most strongly to
them, was that border constabulary
be created to operate as police
force along both sides of the line. 1t
was suggested that the foce be COM
posed of former soldiers of both coun-
tries under joint control. and that
the expense lbe shared by both gov
ernments.
Details of the plan have not been
worked out. In it's favor it was
argued that the Mexican people
would not feel toward the constabu-
larry the same hostility that they dis
played toward the American troops,
which have crossed the line. 1t was
also suggested that the police force
would be far more effective in clear
ing the mountains of northern Mex
ico of bandits than either Mexican
or American troops have been.
The commission will adjourn to-
morrow, to permit the Mexican mem
bers to celebrate the Mexican lnde-
pendence Day, September 16.

DREDGE COL. NICHE
! OF GREAT ASSISTANCE
Large Crowds Witness Thrilling
Spectacular Scene OFF Coos
Bay Harbor

u Marshfield, Ore, Sept. 14.-Fire to-
y night completely destroyed the Pa
4 cifc Steamship liner, Congress, off
N Coos Bay bar. Several vessels help
ed to remove the 253 passengers and
4 crew of 10. 1t is believed that no
lives were lost, although this will
not be established beyond a doubt
until all boats which went to the
scene have returned here.
When the dredge, Niche, and the
gas schooner, Tillamook, reached the
Congress they found the liner almost
completely shrouded in smoke, and
the passengers fighting frantically to
enter the lifeboats. Despite the
stress of the situation, however, Cap
tain n. E. Cousins and his crew man
aged to maintain control and the
work of transferring the people
aboard to the rescue vessels was car
ried out in an orderly manner.
Every Life Is Saved.
The dredge. Col. P. S. Niche dock
ed at North Bend near here tonight,
with all the passengers and the crew
of the steamer, Congress safe on
board. Not a life was lost, nor sim
gle person injured.
The Congress came to a stop off
the Coos bay bar at 4:30 p. m, and
was anchored between two buoys,
with her stern pointed toward the
beach. The dredge Niche. was soon
at the scene. Boats were lowered at
once and people from the shore saw
the people taken across the interven-
ing space to the dredge.
1t was daylight and the flames
were plainly visible breaking from
the stern of the craft. The work OF
rescuing the passengers went on with
great precision and those, with glass
es saw the forward deck covered
with many persons getting away from
the fierceness of the flames.
Presents Weird Scene.
The gasoline schooner, Tillamook,
arrived Just before the last of the
passengers we're removed. The scene
as night closed in was weird. The
heavy smoke of the burning vessel
obscured her from sight at several
points along the beach, but those who
went to the lighthouse had an unim-
paired view. Several small boats were
coming down the bay and they were
lost to sight as they entered the
smoke which hovored over the burn
ing ship. '<
At 7:15 the Niche pulled away,
giving those on shore the impress
sion that everybody was saved. The
steam schooner, A. A. Simpson, which
reached the Congress too late to as
sist, and the Tillamook stood by when
the Niche departed.
Heat Becomes UnbearabIe.
Before. the last boat left, in which
was Captain Cousins, the smoke and
heat on the Congress was almost un-
bearable. Flames were shooting out
of the ventilators and up the passage
ways.
Soon after the vessels left, the
flames enveloped her from stem to
stern, lighting the sky crimson hue.
With the wind and tide the steamer
then began drifting in toward the
shore on Coos bay.
