Reports received here from South
east coast towns say that during the
raid the air along the coast and for
some miles inland resounded with the
noise of aircraft engines. One of the
raiders passed over coast town
headed seaward, its engine making the
loudest noise ever heard there from an
| aircraft. The sound resembled the
noise Of Zeppelin and came from a
great height.
Chatham is on the east bank Of the
Medway, thirty miles southeast Of
London. It is the seat of immense
military and naval establishments
including dockyard, an arsenal and
extensive barracks.
The term naval ratings applies to
the grade of men on board ship, usual

Fl. Yates Will Honor
Drafted Men Tonight
Patriotic Assemblase at Agency Hall
Tonight in Honor of Men Called
to Dei Moines Camp

A patriotic gathering will be held
at the Agency hall this evening, at
which the citizens will have an op-
portunity to bid farewell and honor
the first two young men to be draft
ed for the new Federal Army from
Sioux county.
Time is gradually bringing home
to the people of the United States
that a condition of war exists. With
the mobilization of the first quota
drafted for military service every
section of the nation from the most
populous to the remotest inland in
terror county seats is reached, and
before long nearly every family will
be represented by loyal sons in the
army Of liberation for France and
the allied nations Of Europe. With
the wakening up coming it is hoped
that a spirit of patriotism will fol-
low in place Of the indifference pre-
sent in many places.
No better opportunity or time
for grand patriotic rally will pre-
sent itself until the next quota
leaves on September 10Th, and
every loyal American citizen in Fort
Yates should turn out and give the
boys rousing send off.

Held Meeting Tuesday
New Bridge Will be Built Over Cedar
River North Of Thunderhawk-Noe
Much Other Busines

An adjourned meeting of the
board Of county commissioners was
held at the court house Tuesday
with Commissioners Stiles, Leach
and Chart, present.
Not much business of any i'm.
portance was transacted, the meet
ing have been called for the purpose
OF hearing petition for the estab.
fishing and laying out Of a pub
lie highway from Selfridge to the
Yellowstone Trail. AS there was
no opposition to the proposed road
at the hearing, the petition was
granted and the road ordered laid
out.
Among other matters taken up
was the proposed bridge over the
Cedar river north of Thunderhawk.
The bridge will cost S2,4OO.OO, of
which amount Grant county pays
half. The remaining S12OO.OO will
be paid by Sioux county, but $780,.
90 of this amount has been SUBJ
scribed by the citizens of township
13O-9O and the business men of
Thunderhawk, leaving the cost of
the bridge to the county only $780,
90. Grant county will let the con.
tract for the bridge and it is hoped
to have it built this fall.
A resolution was adopted offering
reward of $1,000 to he paid out
OF the county treasury for the ar
rest and conviction of persons guilty
of setting prairie fires within the
county. Prairie fires have caused
thoussnds.of dollars in damage this
summer and fall, and it is hoped
that warming notices and vigorous
prosecution where fires start from
care]essness will result in prevention
of fires.
