PEOPLE OF THE ENTIRE STATE
INTERESTED IN ANNEXATION

Committee believe that in order to
realize the highest and best de-
velopment of the City and harbor
of Baltimore, the whole territory
connected with the development
should be under the one govern
ment of Baltimore City, rather
than partly in the City, partly in
Baltimore County and partly in
Anne Arundel County, and that it
is of great Importance to have the
extension of the City limits made
by the Legislature of 1918, in
order that the City may get the
advantage of its proper standing
in the census of 1920.
There IS no politics in the pro-
posed Dill; but simply a matter
effecting the best development
from the standpoint of business,
commerce, health and good gov
eminent of tbs part Of the State,
and directly promoting the general
welfare of the entire State. The
passage Of the proposed Bill will
not give Baltimore City a single
additional vote in the Legislature
nor will it deprive Baltimore or
Anne Arundel County of a single
vote in the Legislature. The Com
mittee, therefore, recommend to
the League the approval of this
Bill and express the hope that it
may be approved and passed by
the Legislature solely on the
ground that they believe it to be a
matter which will promote the
public welfare.

Bowbels County, North Dakota Friday, July co. 1917

Nearly half an inch of rain fell in
this city On Friday afternoon of last
week and covered all the country to
the north Of town as far as the
Canadian line, though 1t only went
a few miles south, and very little
fell east of the lake. There was
only a sprinkle at Coteau, and not
a drop fell at Niobe. The moisture
did not soak down very far on ac-
count of the ground being as dry
as powder, but wherever the rain
struck the Grain shot IN several
inches during the next few days,
and is continuing to grow fast.
Most Of the early grain is already
heading out and three day soaker
would be just the thing about now.
The late, grain in some places ap-
pears to be the best, while in others
the early grain will make the best
yield. In all cases the summer fal-
lowed land shows the best stand.

Getting Drunk on
Denatured Alcohol

Minot, N. D., July 19.-The des-
perate condition In which the old
soaks in this state find themselves
since the bone dry law went into ef-
feet is illustrated by the fact that
within the last two days men have
been arrested by the local police on
charges Of being drunk and on each
a quantity of denatured or wood
alcohol was found. Tom Casey,
one of the men, was fined $19 and
1910 in police court. Tom Hovo,
the other one, is in Jail. The men
use salt in the poison which is said
to destroy the deadly effects Of the
stuff. The concoction has an odor
something like the unburied carcass
Of two weeks dead horse, and how
any human stomach can tolerate
the liquid is 9 mystery. The risk
OF life from drinking the poison is
about forty 10 one In favor Of death.

500 LINE PRESIDENT
y TO ANSWER CHARGE

Minneapolis, July 19.-North Da-
kota's drinkers loaded up with fu-
ture supplies at an unprecedented
rate Just before the state "bone" dry
law went into effect July 1. AS a
result Edmund Pennington, presi-
dent of the 500 Line, will appear at
Minot within a few days to have his
say about the charge Of violating
the state liquor laws that has been
placed against him there.
Mr.. Pennington's offense is pure>

too much liquor into the state. Mr..
Pennington is the roads highest Of

out for accusation some time ago.
There was no further develop
ments until today when North Da-
kota state officials announced that
the railroads president had agreed
to visit Minot and appear Saturday
before Judge A. B. Dill.
Mr.. Pennington confirmed this
only In part. He declared his will

about to make an inspection trip OF
his company's North Dakota lines
he doubtless would be in Minot
within a few days. He did not

How the Married Men
s. Must Obtain Exemptions
A serious misunderstanding Of

A serious misunderstanding Of
the methods by which parties entitl-
ed to exemption under the conscrip-
tiOn laws procure their exemptions
exists in the public mind, especially
among the married men, who have
the idea that the statement of the
fact of their marriage on their reg
istration cards .ope1 ates to release
them from further responsibility.
This is not correct, and to set the
matter right and enable these peo-
pie to avoid Trouble for failure to
comply with the regulations, the
following summary of the require
ments to be followed is given.
Married men will be drawn in just
the same way as single ones. With
in seven days after the mailing OF
their notification-not the receipt
by them-from the local registra-
ton board, married men must fill
out and file with the registration
board of the county from which
they are drawn, a blank provided by
the government in which they set
out their claim ror exemption.
Within ten days after this appllca-
ton is filed with the poard, the hus-
band must file an affidavit setting
forth the name and place of resi-
dence of the wife and such children
as come within thu provisions Of
Mpe law. In addition to this there
Must be filed at the same time a
supporting affidavit OF the wife set
ting forth verificat1on of the facts
alleged In the affidavit of the hus>
band and in addition the income
from her separate property. Both
aftidavits must show that the in
come from the labor of the husband
either physical or mental, Is the sole
means of support for the wife.
Upon the completion of the evil
dence required by law, the local ex-
emption\ board will issue to the ap-
pltcant a certificate of the fact and
which will also show his exemption
from service.
The application may be made by
the wife on behalf Of the husband
if he refuses or neglects to make
such application. In such cases, the
principal affidavit must be made b!
the wife setting up as principal
what in other cases must be set up
bv the husband. There must toe
two supporting afidavits made BY
the heads of households of the com
munity in which the wife has he'
residence, verifying the allegations
set up in the affidavit of the wife.
The wife must also set out the
amount of her separate income IN
the same manner she is required to
do when she files an affidavit In
su1RSort Of the claim for exemption
on the part of her husband.

INTO THE TRENCH
WITH THE CAMERA

What Americans must prepare to
lace in taking part in the great
world war i, told in the most gra-
phic and forceful manner possible
by the "War On Three Fronts" pic
lures to be shown at the Royal
Theatre on Saturday evening, July
FL.
These films were taken by Capt.
F. E. Kleinschmidt, who was an
Alaskan explorer before he became
war correspondent scarrying a
movie apparatus into the centrifu-
gal centres of death on three fronts
the Russian, the Serbian and the
Italian. For two years he and his
instrument defied the Grim Reaper
with odds so overwhelming IN favor
of the latter that the miracle of his
preservation confronts you in the
record of the bullet and sharpnel
scars with which he is covered.
In the making of these films
Capt. Kleinschmidt stood where
shrapnel exploded near enough to
deafen him, or flew through the air,
the target for a hundred anti-air-
craft guns; or sped through the
water on frail launches, pursued by
aeroplanes and warships: To a de-
gree. perhaps never attained before
these pictures are Of the very es-
sence of the horrible reality of war
No other war pictures ever shown
were worthy of comparison with
these vivid chronicles of death and
distinctions. Capt. Kleinschmidt and
his camera have written more
graphic history Of the great war
than books can ever give US. 1t is
not only a privilege to be able to
see the result of his two years Of
daring service, but 1t is the duty of
every American who has the inter-
est of his country at heart to see
these pictures and learn the lesson
they impart.

Geo. White and family returned
on Wednesday of last week from
points in Minnesota and South Da-
kota where they spent about two
weeks in visiting with relatives,
making the entire Grip of about
1000 miles with their big Cadillac
car. Mr.. White agrees with the
many others who drive through
this city that Burke county has the
best small grain stand this year to
be seen in this state. Mr.. White
told us that from Glenwood to Aber-
deem the small gram looked fairly
good, but that from Aberdeen to
Jamestown it kept getting poorer
right along, and that from James,
town to Kenmare everything was
brown and past hope. The first
green grain he saw between James,
town and this city was when he
reached the top of the hill on leav-
ing Kenmare, and that the grain all
through the Bowbells country look
ed better than any he saw between
the South Dakota line and this city.

the useless stumps from which were
amputated his feet. which nature
exacted as a penalty for his alleged
crime. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the alleged murderer ever
will walk again. The prosecution
is making of this fact one of it's ar
guments for the conviction of Nash,
contending that in his condition he
is certain to become public charge
ultimately; that by his own confes-
sion he slew Hicks, neighbor,
with whom he had loro been at
loggerheads, and that it would be
charity to Nash and double justice
to the state were he committed for
the remainder of his life to the
state prison, where he will be fed
and clothed and generally given
better care than he could provide
for himself.
Mrs. Nash sits in the court room
at the side of her crippled husband.
and it is understood that the de-
tense expects to spring sensation
when she takes the witness stand.
Jacob Brantner, II, the states
star witness, testified that Clarence
Hicks pleaded with Nash not I'd
shoot, when Nash entered the
homesteader's shack. Every at
tempt to shake the lads story was
unavailing.

Bejan Has Former
Pardner Arrested

Joe Hessen, one of the prophet
ors of the Mike & Shain livery and
feed stable in this city, was arrested
on Friday Of last week on the charge
of assault and. battery alleged to
have been committed on the person
of Albert Bejan. On being brought
before Justice Randall he asked for
time to employ an attorney, and
this was granted. He appeared a
short time later with City Attorney
Of prejudice against Randalrs court
and asked for change of venue.
The case was transf erred to the
court of Justice John Schmidt
where Hessen asked that the case
be continued for week so as to
give Mr.. Heckel time to recuperate
from his recent illness. This was
allowed and the case is set for trial
today. 1t is understood that Hes
sen denies having made the assault
complained of, and tnat If he did,
the provocation by Bejan was great
enough to warrant such assault as
might have been committed. Until
a short time ago Mr.. Bejan was in
partnership with Hessen and 9TH
ers in the ownership of the livery
barn and also farm northwest OF
town. Two weeks ago deal was
made by the firm whereby Bejan
withdrew from the partnership and
received as his share the equity the
farm held in the firm. After the
deal was completed and the papers
signed, Bejan says, the other men,
bers of the firm, after thinking the
matter over, concluded that Beian
had beaten them. and employed At
torney C. H. Marshall of Portal to
see what could be done toward get
ting the equity to the farm back.
During the past two weeks the
members of the firm met several
times to talk the matter over. and
1t was at one OF these sessions that
Bejan claims he was assaulted. Be-
jan tells The Tribune that he is not
fighting man, has never been VIC
torious In fist fight in his life, and
doesn't think he would be in, case it
came to.a show Down with the man
who wanted to fight in this instance.
and for that reason he thought best
to resort to the courts so such as
saults would not be repeated.

Importer Of Liquor Was
Caught With the Goods

Minot. N. D., July 19.-Ray H.
Pinkham was arrested at Berthold
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Van
denover on charge of importing
liquor into the state in violation of
the bone dry law. and it is expected
he will enter plea of guilty of the
charge as the evidence was found on
him and he has admitted having i'm
ported the liquor.
The officers through a system Of
ganized. were advised of the ship
ment and the deputy sheriff was
ready when the developments ma
tured. The scheme was one which
has been adopted US one of the
methods Of evading the law, and is
the result Of the Planning of some
Of the men who are helping In the
criminalitv with their brains and
ability. The liquor was contained
in trunk shipped as baggage on
passenger ticket over the Great
Northern from Minneapolis to Ber-
thold. The arrest of Pinkham and
the confiscation Of his baggage
check enabled the officer to obtain
the trunk. It was found to be
filled with liquor, and with evidence
in front Of him Pinkham admitted
his guilt.
He will be turned over to the
federal authorities 80 soon as the To-
cal authorities are through with
him. He has violated two United
States liquor laws the penalty for
each of which is term In the fed
eral penitentiary. One Of these is
the bone dry law which prohibits
the importation of liquor into any
dry territory from another state,
and the other is shipping in such
liquor without having the case con-
tanning the same p<afnly marked as
containing liquor. The check for
the trunk shows that it was ship
ped from Minneapolis and the ticket
On which the baggage was checked
shows the same fact. This COM
pleted the evidence OF violation of
the two federal statutes.

Shift Flesh From
Side To Her Arm

Bismarck, N. D., July 19.-An
unusual operation is being perform
ed here on an arm Of little Lucille
Knowles, six-year-old daughter of
the proprietor of the Halliday hotel
The little lady recently became
entangled with a gasoline engine
which stripped the flesh from one
Of her forearms to the bone. A
strip of flesh Of corresponding shape
and size was grated from the
girls side to the injured arm, but
was not entirely severed from its
original moorings. The living
flesh is satisfactorily knitting to its
new position, and when sufficient
progress has been made it will be
completely severed and very dan
gerous and unsight1y scar will have
been transferred from the little
girls arm, where 1t would have
proved a permanent Disagreement TO
her side.
