PROCLAMATION

Pierre, S. D.. Aug. 14.-Up at Alb
erdeen, after their experience Of a
year ago with l. W. w. forces, the
home guards have been active and
have broken up several "jungles' of
the order and representatives of the
l. w. w. have been charging the
guards with being too rough in their
work
A few days ago Arthur LIE Seuer of
St. Paul. claiming to be a legal coun-
sci for the l. w. w. and former mayor
of Minot, ~ D.. came to Governor
Peter Norbeck with request for a
proclamation similar to the one which
he said he had secured from the gov
ernor of North Dakota, in which the
latter called upon all people of the
state to abide by the laws and for
bidding any officers of the state to
search any individuals for arms un-
less they had first secured a search
warrant for that purpose.
After a discussion of the situation,
Governor Norbeck declined to take
the desired action, believing that local
officials knew their powers and du-
ties and could best cope with local
situations without executive instruc-
tion, so long as there were no grave
uprisings to deal with.

country to fear of financial strain and
without depriving the wealthy, even

FATHER BADLY SCORCHED
IN EFFORTS AT RESCUE

New England, N. D.. Aug. IA
While their parents, spurred on by
the piteous cries of their doomed ba-
bies, fought in vain to save them,
three little children of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. C. BOehlke, aged 9, and ,, were
crcmatcd before their eyes in the
ruins of their blazing home near New
England yesterday morning. The
father, frantic with grief, is suffering
severely from burns about his face,
neck and arms, and his hands are
cut by the fragments of glass which
he shattered with his fists in vain
effort to reach his perishing children.
The EOchlics had gone to the barn
yard early yesterday morning TO at
tend to tEc stock. Some time later
their attention was attracted to the
house, which they found in lanes
The three children were asleep IN a
bedroom upstairs. The entire lower
part of The house was ablazc, and the
flames again and again drove back
the parents as they endeavOred to
reach the side of the little ones.
The baby of the family, tot or
only two years, was toddling about
the house when the parents left Tor
the barn, and he saved himself from
the fate which his brothers met. The
little youngSter was standing outalde
the blazing home callin gfor his par
euts when the latter reached the
house. The dwelling was completely
destroyed, and the remains of the
unfortunate children were found COM
pletcly burned in the cmbers.

had shown signs of dementia from the

violently insane last week, when he

Sensational Case.
The prominence of the parties in

the j. G. r. case, and the fact that
their murder is said to have followed
an attempt upon their part to prevent
Chumack from asEaulting q young
woman employed in the Caldwell home
as domestic, made the case ended
today the most sensational in the his
tory OF tho Slope. j. IT. Caldwell had
succeeded in convincing Judge Nues-

Gus J. G. r. was not his son only a
few days before his murder. The
couple left an estate of $150,GOO.
The scene of the double murder was
the barn on the Caldwell ranch. It
is alleged that after killing Caldwell
with shotgun, Chumack called Mrs.
Caldwell to the barn and turned the
same weapon on her.

FIELD AND STAFF NOW
IN FEDERAL SERVICE

The smashing of the Second has
gent work on the part of Adjutant
General Fraser, Governor Frazier and

of relief last evening when the mus
tering of field and staff officers into
federal service was completed, and
federal recognition for the regiment
as a unit, with it's headquarters and
supply company and sanitary detach
ment finally was accomplished.
For the last 10 days military author
tiles have been able to do little but
wrestlc with the problems of the Sec
ond. The organization Of the regi-
ment was begun at the eleventh hour,
and it was never properly completed.
Had the war department proven the
stchcr for red tape which it has in
certain other instances, North Dakota
would have had smashed Second,
broken up into little units instead of
a Smashing Second, assembled in one
large, efficient fighting machine and
commanded by a remarkably capable
set of field and staff officers.
Failure to recognize the Second
would have lost the regiment its field
and staff officers, the supply, head
quarters and sanitary detachment, and
might have meant the assignment OF
separate companies, accepted as units,
to as many different regiments. But
the day has been saved The mistake
was largely on the part of the militia
bureau at Washington: Brigadier Gen
eral w. X Mann graciOusly recog-
nized that fact, and with Angus Fraser
and Colonel Settle and the governor
and countless other persons busy on
this end of the wire, the Second went

Johnston, penned in by the steering
wheel, could not jump, and he went
to horrible death under the grind

stopped scores of Mortified spectators
who witnessed the accident ran to
the spot to find Johnston's remains
about 20 feet from the twisted and
splintered frame of his car. Life was
extinct.

The switch engine, which had been

was clearing for No. s at the time
of the accident, and approached the

watchman is maintained at this point
day and night, and he was on duty at
the time. The Ford, containing it's

that no statement could be represent
ed as representing the official view.
If any inference might be drawn
from the undcrcurrents which were,

it would see that the proposal Is one
that would be discussed in good faith
by the allies, but that it does not

Gated that the peace proposal coming
from the pope--the first actual pro-
posal of the kind to come from the
vatican-would necessarily have to be
considered carefully and deliberately
and that an answer convincing to the

How far the peace proposal reflects
the close relationship to the vatican
with Austria, whose earnest desire 1or
peace, despite German influence, is
well known, or how far it reflects the
Catholic agitation for peace in Ger

say. 1t was recalled, however, that
