BATTERY FUND GETS
COUNTY WIDE SUPPORT

Splendid progress is being made
with the campaign for raising a
fund for Battery F and the response
from many of the villages of the

tons but the fund is growing every
day.
On Saturday two remittances were
received and each was accompanied
by a call for more buttons. Chair
man c.. s. Pilot, of the committee at
Baker, sent a draft for $22, and
August Steining. chairman of the
FELTON, committee, RENTED $25.

In murder a person goes out and
through impulse or something else
deliberately kills without destroying
property, and kills quickly and kills
without burning, so the offense is a
very serious one.
Took q Great Chance.
Nov, whatever got into you, Mr..
RAIDER, do not know. Probably you,
yourself, did not have q heart that
was Of such a nature that you had
deliberately planned this and that
you willingly, deliberately and in
tentionally wanted to burn any one
up, but you took q chance Of destroy
ing human life and the crime has
been committed. and the lowest sent
ence that can be given is ten years
under the statute, and / do not be-
lieve / would be inclined to make the
sentence less IL the statute would
permit doing so on account Of the
seriousness OF the offense.
THAT does not mean that the
sentence is going to be imposed
through any ill-feeling or anything
Of that kind, because IL is always, IL
a judge, has heart, an unpleasant
duty to sentence any one to the
penitentiary, or to sentence any one
at all'.
Mr.. RAIDER probably will be taken

The Moorhead Red Cross chapter

The knitting division is in a most
iourishing condition. Every one

only in quantity OF knitted articles
made but also in maintaining the
exceptional quality of the work OF

pounds are in the hands of women
knitting socks and 81 pounds sold to
the branches. We have now ready
for shipment SO pairs OF socks and
expect to have that number doubled
by Oct. 10 as many of the branches
have promised liberal consignments.
The supply Of needles is very limited
but we have a few of the requisite
sizes. Mufflers, wristlets and steel
needle No. IL now or hand.
over a MILAN and a half each of
sweaters, mufflers, socks and wrist
let's will be needed by the American
soldiers before the winter is over,
according to a recent oablegram from
Major Murphy, Red Cross commits
sioner to France.
"One million pounds of knitting
wool to be made up into those gar
ments has been purchased by the
supply bureau or the heu cross In
Washington. An idea of the quantity
Of yarn in this one purchase can be
gathered from the fact that If the
wool were stretched out 1t would
cover 100000 miles, or could be
stretched around the earth at the
equator thirty-two times.
The knitting wool purchased is
mainly gray and has been distributed
to the thirteen divisional warehouses
Of the Red Cross scattered through
out the country.
I'm a cablegram Major Murphy
brings out forcibly the need for
knitted garments. He says: Begin
shipping at once one and a half mil
lion each knitted mufflers, sweaters,
socks and wristlots. These are
desperately needed before the cold
weather. urge you on behalf of
our soldiers and those of our allies
who will suffer in the frozen trench

ing in Georgetown and seventeen in

an has delivered her thirty Eighth pair

Charged with first degree arson in
Ssetting fire TO his home in hope of
collecting insurance, in which home
four roomers-Clara and Hilda
Hendrickson and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Drier-nearly lost their lives, Elmer
RAIDER entered plea Of guilty before
Judge A. T. Cole of the district court
this morning and was sentenced to
serve ten years in the state pent-
tertiary.
The FIRE occurred on the morning
of June 9. Illness Of one Of the girls
rooming at the place, who was
awake most of the night, prevented
the four from probably perishing in
the flames which had gained good
Roadway when members Of the fire
department arrived. Several fires
were found in different parts of the
dwelling, and evidence Of incendia-
rism was clearly defined, according
to Chief Sutherland and Assistant
Chief Campion.
RAIDER at the preliminary hearing
before Judge Miller, offered an alibt
that he was out Of the city the night
of the fire. This was shaken by the
testimony from the station agent at
Mapleton, who was returning by foot
to his home following the Shrine
ceremanial in Fargo, who passed
and recognized RAIDER early in the
morning, going toward Mapleton, and
further evidence from the hotelman
at Mapleton that RAIDER came to his
hotel about 5 o'clock the morning Of
the fire.
Human Life Involved.
Judge A. T. Cole. in passing
sentence, stated that this Is one of
the crimes in which not only the
burning is involved. but the idea of
taking a chance on destroying human
life as well, and that II Is probably
one OF the most serious offenses
which can be committed.
1T represents a willingness to take
the chance of destroying human life
and destroying 1t by fire., said the
court. TT is different from murder.
