BISHOP BELIEVES
ALARMIST REPORTS
ARE MERELY JOKES

Bismarck, N. D., March 2s.-
Right Reverend Vincent Wehrle,
bishop of the Bismarck diocese,
scouts the idea that drill activities
Of church societies in the SOUTH
western part of the state can have
any significance in the present ci-
sis. The bishop said: .aThere are
two societies Of young men, one at
Lefor, and the Other In the district
Of st. Stephens, church south of
Richardton, which practice some
military drilling. These societies
have existed for 20 years. Young
fellows who take their pleasure In
wearing occasionally a uniform and
to march like soldiers are the mem.
bers. They are not church societies,
but at some church celebrations
they march in a body and they de-
light in giving a military salute
at some occasions. This Is all. It
looks like a capital joke to connect
them with sedition and intimida-
tions, as II they needed special
watching by Uncle Sam"

PLACER PEOPLE INVESTI-
 GATE OLD DIGGINGS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The arrival short time ago oi three Pacific coast placer mining op- orators at the Santa Maria to look over what was commonly known in carly days as the Mexican diggings, ' was reported yesterday by Lewis Stebbins, rangcman arriving in this city.
 The party had been making an in- spection for five days, and Norman Osgood, the head man, stated that it was quite probable this placer propo- sition would be revived, and worked on a new system of recovery of val ucs. Thc operators, who came from Nevada City, Cal, stated they were identified with similar mining propo- sition near Ehrenberg, on the Colo rado river.
 The above placer property has been inactive for many years, but has a production record running into sev- eral thousand dollars, the largest nugget recovered being valued at S65O. At one time a community of over $50 people lived at that place.
