OMAHA, Neb.-The old steel bridge
of the Union Pacific railway over the
Missouri river between Omaha and
Council Bluffs, which has been in

new. which weighed 11,20O0OO pounds.
required 81 minutes, AL for removal
of the old and SOL, to replace it with
the new. Five hosting engines, equip
ped with block and tackle, were used.
Union Pacific officials said the work
was an unusual engineering feat
This is the third bridge built across
the Missouri on the same site Ger
tain historical interest attaches to
the place. for it was here that pio-
neers first crossed the river on flat
boat.

Guard Camp Nay bs Delayed

North and South Dakota and
Minnesota National Guardsme1I
may not be called into the federal
service until August 9Th. News
reached Wahpeton last week that
war department officials, for two
reasons, are considering a change
in the orders already issued to
mobilize the guard July 18th. One
is the lack of equipment and an
other is the fact that questions of
seniority may be raised when the
officers get to the federal service.
Army officers are anxious that
there shall be harmony between
the officers of the various state or.
carnations and want all to be CON-
missioned as of the same date. That
would not be possible under exist
ing law and rather than ask for a
change in the law. the date of
mobilization may be changed.
The question of equipment, how
ever, is the more important one.
Although no official announce.
ment has been made, it was admit
ted at the war department in
Washington that all artillery may
be called first.

MURDER TRIAL
STARTED MONDAY

The murder trial that started
Monday in the district trial court
at the court house in this city, was
the signal for many visitors to come
to this city. People of the vicinity
Of Hankinson, where the deed is
alleged to have taken place are
here attending court. Besides these
visitors, large attendance from
the Little Twins are in attendance
This case has attracted consid-
cradle attention, because of tn,
numerous rumors concerning this
case which have been floating Il.
round ever since April Z, this year
when Meske the defendant, is al.
legged to have shot and killed Dep
uty Sheriff Evan M. Jones of
Hankinson. The late Mr.. Jones of
Hankinson is brother of Atty
Dan r. Jones of this city.
This case was scheduled to take
place at the regular term of court
on June 6, with Judge Allen of
this district as the presiding judge.
but the defense composed of Judge
Lauder of this city and Atty. Dwy-
er Of Hankinson, filed articles of
prejudice against Judge Allen and
the case was postponed until Mon
day of this week, June 25th. with
Judge Cooley of Grand Forks, as
the presiding Judge.
The case was called to order at
1O:4O, when the first juror was
summoned, as several of the jurors
empaneled did not put in appear.
ance until that time.
Because of the article dealing
with this alleged crime in the
Globe Gazette, is causing consider
able trouble in getting jury. The
defense through Judge Lauder and
Prosecuting Attorney j. G. Forbes
are using every means in securing
a jury whose minds are free of
any prejudice.
1t is rumored that the defense
will try to prove that the act was
justifiable, or that the State has
brought the wrong charge against
the man. According to the advance

BIG CELEBRATION
HERE JULY 4TH

Everything is in readiness for a
great big celebration on Island
park for the people of the little
twins and to all who came here to
celebrate the day, and glorify in
this day of independence.
Two base ball games will be
played on this day with the Hank
inson baseball team and an ad.
mission fee of IS cents for adults
and 25c for minors. All children
under ten years of age will be ad-
mitted free. The charge is brought
about by the fact that the use of
the Island for this day costs quite
a sum of money and to meet the
expense everyone is asked to help
defray the expenses. Also the base
ball management of last year,
bucking impossible odds due to bad
weather went into debt quite heav-
lily and this year the base ball team
which is composed mostly of home
players are trying to remove
this Indebtedness. In others years
on this day a straight admission
free with few public entertain
ments have been thrust upon the
visitors, but this year everything
outside of the base ball games
which causes the admission price,
and admittance fee, everything is
free.
A subscription list has been
passed around and there has been
a number of signers. The amounts
asked for have been small, from
80 cents to So, according to the
business and vocations of the sign
ers. Both cities of the little twins
have come across nobly, and only
in a few places have business men
, refused to sign.
There will be the usual Fourth
of July entertainments such as
foot races, daylight and evening
fireworks and patriotic speeches.
Two of Wahpeton's public speak
ers have been asked to appear on
this day. They are States Attorney
joseph G.. Forbes and Hon. w. E.
Purcell. Both of these gentlemen
need no introduction to the, people
of this community as they have
been before the public a great num-
Der Of times as speakers on a num-
Der of subjects. Whether they have
accepted at this time we have no
information, but we know that in
case where no other arrangements
have been made, we are assured of
two splendid talks.
In the morning both the reserve
corps of the Little Twins and Com
pany will drill on the Island and
a home band besides an outside
band will be in attendance and
furnish music on this day.
Picnic lunches and dinners will
be one of the main things on the
Island and all are invited to bring
their lunches and stay the whole
day and enjoy the beauties of Is
land Park, situated on the Mime
sofa side of the Red river.
A big bowery dance in the even
ing to enjoyable music will make
the light fantastic highly pleasing,
due to the fact that the dance will
be out of doors and that excellent
music has been prepared for this
occasion.
Be on hand early in the morning
as the enjoyments of the day start
at midnight when 100 guns fired
at one time will announce the op-
ening of the festivities.

PURCELL SPEAKS
TO RESERVES

Hon. w. E. Purcell of this city
spoke to the Citizens Reserve Corps
at the Armory Friday morning at
the hour of $3.50. At this hour the
reserve corps start their usual drill
which takes place during the fol-
lowing hour until 6 80.
At this hour Mr.. Purcell spoke
to the boys on the reasons for en-
tering this war and to the large
audience of home guards present
listened to every word that he said.
In telling force the following facts
Of Liberty or Subjection, were
driven home with telling force.
"Why do you men get up at this
time in the morning? Is it just for
show, or is it for more? 1t used to
be in this town not so very long
ago the hour for going to bed for
a great number of people and may
be among you are some that used
to be doing these same things. Now
you 60 to bed in the evening and
get up at this hour. The change
has been remarkable.
"You know that your country is
at war and you and every one else
bound together are at war with the
same common enemy. Your liberty
in this country is periled and "a
save it you are doing your duty in
answering the call of your country.
The idea Of subsection has brought
you here to drill to prepare your.
selves so when called you will be
able to defend with victory the
principles that you so dearly love
"Thank God," Mr.. Purcell con.
tinued, "that we make our govern.
ment, and 'Thank God,' we have
the power to unmake it. In Ger.
many they tell the common people
what their government shall be
and in this country we, the people
tell our government what our gov
ernment shall be, or we at the bal
lot box explain to them in actor
more than words what we desire.
In his speech of a trife over ar
hour, Mr.. Purcell brought out tn,
idea of subjection and liberty. H,
used as his model the assanatior
of the Austrian Grand Duke ir
Serbia and what they tried to by
force impose upon this little coun
try. Continuing he said this is JUS
what Germany and her allies have
tried ON the other nations and more
recently upon us. They have broke,
every treaty with us and through
Misrepresentation to the world il
preparedness, letting 10 one know
what she was doing in the face Of
an open door, pounced upon tn,
peaceful nations unprepared in al
effort to subject them under he1
rule, but failed in the attempt, dut
to the people of the liberty loving
principles.
The words fell like hot bricks uD
on the hearts of the men present
and in concluding Mr.. Purcell
said: 81 have prospcred in thi.
country, and what l have is m,
country's. I am probably too old t
90 into battle but it makes no diff
ference at what hour 7 am called
! am ready to do what I can."
| This shows the stuff the real red
Flooded Americans are made on
of, and before the governments O
the world, we shall all sacrific,
whatever we have to save the prin
cIples that this government is bui
upon, that we so dearly love, before
letting them be torn asunder.
Each and everv member of tn,
Reserve Corps wish to thank Mr.
Purcell for his talk and the incon
yenience of the hour.
