SCHAFER ABSTRACTER
KILLED DURING FIGHT

Schafer, N. D., June 7.-Casper
W. Strand Of this place died in a
Wllllston hospital last Sunday ey-
ening about o'clock from internal
hemorrhage, resulting from q blow
on the head above the right ear
with a bottle in the hands of Mar
TN l.. Bonner, farmer living on
the Missouri river two miles below
Senechal.
Mr.. Strand was one of a fishing
party from this community camped
on the Missouri river below Sene-
chal, 80 miles north of Schafer. and
with another member of the party
had motored to the store at Sene-
chal for supplies. For the first
time he there met Mr.. Bonner.
FOLLOWING an alteration he struck
Mr.. Monner in the face with his
fist. He later attempted a second
attack when Bonner, picking up a
bottle from the ground nearby,
struck him over the head, knock
ing him senseless. He was taken
to the fishing camp and later to q
hospital at Williston, where he died
"a hours later without regaining
consciousness.
Bonner was arrested on war
rant issued on complaint charging
manslaughter in the first degree.
He later furnished bonds for his
appearance at preliminary hear
ing held at Senechal Monday after
noon.
According to those who Witness
ed part of the affair, Mr.. Bonner
struck the blow in self-defense.
These persons seem. to be of the
opinion also that Mr.. Strand was
labOring under some mental delu-
sion at the time as they say he at
tackled Mr.. Bonner without any
provocation whatever.
The fact that Mr.. Strand was
mixed up in an affair Of this ma
ture came as a complete surprise to
the community where he was we'll
known. He has never been known
to have had trouble Of like ma
ture with anyone. He has always
been considered generous, like.
able. good-natured sort and has
many good friends in the county.
He was a thoroughly competenV and
efficient Office man and has held re-
sponsible positions. He purchased
the Mckenzie County Abstract COM
pany business here last fall and
has been actively engaged in look
ing after the business since that
time. sf

Geo. Hansen Of the Bowbells
Land Co. returned last Sunday
morning from his old home in
South Dakota where he spent sew
egal weeks in the interests of his
firm. He found large number of
people there that were ready to
move to place where land was
cheaper, and were willing to &C
company George back to Bowbells
to see what could be had, but
George kept himself posted on the
temporary conditions here and
thought best to not bring any pros
pective buyers here until after the
next rain. The United States going
to war and the registration busi-
ness seemed to make some of, the
prospective buyers hesitate little,
but this will wear off in short
time, when George expects to make
another trip to his home town, and
bring back a number of buyers.
He says the season was rather late
in South Dakota, and that seeding
was just completed a short time
ago. Plenty Of rain has fallen
there, and things look to be in first
class condition.

STATEMENT PRONOUNCES
GEN. LOKOMSKY "a TRAITOR"

Petrograd, Sept. 10.-A official
statement says that General Lokom-
sky "also proved traitor" refusing
to take command of the Russian ar
mics in succession to General Korni-
loft. The soldiers and workmen's
body, the statement adds, has order
ed all the army organizations TO obey
the provisional government against
the conspiracy, stating that General
Korniloff will be punished for treach-
cry, and that General Klembovsky
will be Professionally succeeded to
the chief command.
The members of the provisional
government in the conversation with
the Associated Press refused to be
quoted by name. They stated that
the ministers had reached an agree
ment regarding the following points
of view:
"The government regards General
Korniloff's pronunciamento as an act
of rebellion, as dangerous adven-
ture and a threat to the revolution
and liberty which unless the ultima
tum is withdrawn must be ruthless
ly suppressed.
The government has no doubt that
it has at its disposal sufficient loyal
troops and the overwhelming sup
port of the population to enable 1t
to execute this program"

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Sept 1o.-The war

measure in American history, was
passed tonight by the senate. 1t pro-
vides levy of about two billions
four hundred million dollars, and as

MUCH INTEREST IN THE
SCHOOL BOOK FUND

Much interest is manifested in the
school book fund, which is started
earlier than usual this year because
the need is greater than ever before.
Several business men phoned The
Journal yesterday and gave assurance
that they will subscribe literally.
A number of ladies also made in
curry as to whether books will be as
acceptable as money. which, of course,
they will be, as the money that is re-
ceived will be used to buy books for
boys and girls whose parents cannot
afford to supply them.
Probation Officer Pinney says the
problem of returning many boys and
a number of girls to school this year
is simply a matter of supplying them
with books, and he hopes no child will
be kept out of school on that ac-
count.
Books and money contributions to
the fund may be sent to the office of
The Pensacola Journal and list of
the donations will be published every
few days.

WASHINGTON REGARDS
CRISIS WITH GRAVITY.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 10.-The
crisis precipitated by the forced res
ignation of korniloff, commander in
chief of the Russian armies, is re-
garded here as the most serious of
that country's six months existence
as a democracy.
In an open manner the deposed
commander demanded of Premier
kerensky a virtual dictatorship and
adherence of Levoff and his plans
with the Duma following, and power
full members of the intellectual and
military classes is indicated by full
confidence of his success.
Apparently Korniloff despaired of
improving the situation by carrying
out his frequent threats to resign,
and became satisfied his influence was
powerful enough to wrest the entire
government from the provisional cab
met.
A gleam of hope is CLEANED in the
foreign minister's statement that he
believed the 'revolt not dangerous"
Klembovsky, who was appointed to
succeed Korniloff, is one of the
younger generals without spectac-
ular part in the war hitherto.

from Florida are in Washington dis
cussing with government officials
means of improving the market for
rosin, turpentine and similar prod
ucts They are headed by r. r.
Mitchell of Pensacola, and w. +.
Coachman of Jacksonville.
Considerable correspondence has
been exchanged between Mr.. Mitch
ell and Dir. Coachman and Senator
Fletcher, with the Council of Ma
tional Defense. and the different de-
partments, with a view to adopting
some means of off-setting the tre-
naendous decrease in foreign exporta-
tion of naval stores.
Accompanied by Senator Fletcher
today the delegation called on Ber-
nard Baruch, chairman of the Coun-
ell of National Defense, Secretary
Baker and Secretary Houston and
others.
The naavl stores dealers state thai
since the outbreak of the war ex-
portations have almost entirely
ceased, and that the trade faces
bankruptcy. They are trying to in
terest the government in using rosin,
turpentine and other products in so.le
manner in the manufacture OF mu-
nitions or in using it in some other
way in this country, or furnishing
ships to carry it to the old markets
in Russia, Great Britain and the
other allied countries, which at pres

ORDERED TO SEND
NO MORE NEGROES

Instructions were received by the
local exemption board from Major
Edward Anderson yesterday to avoid
sending negroes to the national train
ing camps until further notice.
Major Anderson, who is in charge OF
the draft operations in Florida ex-
pressed great surprise that the first
five per cent sent from Escamhia
county to Columbia, should have been
negroes.
The latter pointed out that in send.
ing five per cent ahead of the others,
army officials intended that they
should organize the camps and have
everything in readiness for those
who would follow For this reason,
he called upon the local board here
to explain its conduct.
Clerk James Macgibbon, in answer
ing the letter stated that the time
between the receipt of orders, and the
departure Of the men was so short
that due notice could not be given
white men, and that the first on the
list were picked.

with the demands of Korniloff. the
absolute powers of Kerensky incar-
cerated Levoff, general in the chiefs,
and the Duma sopporter, who, under
most severe examination, revealed
the details of a plot to overthrow the
government and restore the despotic
regime. Korniloff has been deposed
and Loemsky, who refused to accept
the duties. is den9unced as traitor
Martial law was declared in Petro-
grad, and the soldiers and workmen's
council who urge obedience to the
government, assert that korniloff
must be punished for his treachery.
On the northern front the Russians
are offering strong resistance.
In the Rumanian theatre, Russians
and Rumanians have again assumed
the offensive, delivering repeated at
tacks.
Fighting is in progress on the Ital-
ian, French, British and Macedonian
