TORPEDO
Misle Turned Over to Gov.
ment Seeks Out Vessel
by Attraction

Williston, N. D., Feb. IA self
guided torpedo, based on magnetic
control, calculated to be a piece of
naval accouterment OF value in the
destroying of vessels, has been in
vented by Charles J. Field of this
city, grandson Of Cyrus X. Field, who
laid the first transatlantic cable, and
turned over to the United States gov
eminent, he announced last night.
Ship Is Magnet.
Fields invention is ingeniously con-
trived and makes the steel in a ship
the magnetic target for the death
dealing torpedo. After the discharge
of the torpedo at an enemy cruiser
the work of the human hand is done.
Entering the magnetic field of the
ships steel, the torpedo lodges and,
held by the force of the attracting
magnetism, remains until its explo-
sion results at the time determined
by set lock-"
Recent official government tests
credit the device with seven hits out
of eight attempts, whereas the ordin-
airy torpedo hits only once out Of fif-
teen times.
Refused Bernstorff Offer.
According to Field, he refused an
offer from Count Won Bernstorff, who
wished to purchase the invention for
the German government two years
ago. Information that the United
States had been considering the pur-
chase of the invention was given to
Count Won Bernstorff by a naval en-
ploye, who was later discharged from
service.

IMPROVEMENTS
AT DICKINSON

Dickinson, N D., Feb. 14.-Since
sthe Northern Pacific Railway company
has removed the obstruction in the
yards that would allow a continuation
sof First avenue west to the south
side, Dickinson people are this week
sunder the impression that some plans
Tare under way to either build a via
Fduct or a subway, a matter that has
sreceived quite little attention during
4the past few years. The old wing of
1.-THE round house being removed affords
Ia passageway across the yards at the
aHughes & Deiters power plant and
the street could be opened across the
right-of-way to connect with Broad
way on the south side. There are only
two other crossing in the city. one
Jon Second avenue east and the other
near the entrance to the ball park on
West Willard.
Whether or not subway or a via
duct would be the most practical at
sthis point would be matter for the
sengineers to determine, but there is
Ysome evidence that the railroad COM
&pany has some such plan in view
KIocal officials have no information on
sthe matter but it is believed by many
that the company intends lessening
THE danger Of crossing the tracks by
such Improvement during the year.

TOWER CITY.

Tower City, Feb. Ito The For
UNI: Editor Heinze of The Topics,
with a true newspaper mans instinct
for investigation, the other day start
ed to find out the composition of q
large rife shell. Having succeeded
in extracting the bullet he wondered
what the funny little grains of brown
ish-black stuff were for down in the
bottom of the shell. With the aid of a
lighted match he found out and today
he is nursing a badly burned arm,
while large hole in the side of the
wall reminds him of the direction in
which the shell case was travelling
when last seen. The editor is not a
pacihst, nor a peace at-any-price
Weakling, but for the present, at least,
he says he has seen enough of war
and IL open hostilities come between
Germany and the United States, he
has decided that he will not enlist
with an artillery corps or with an
infantry corps, but will offer his serv-
ices to the diplomatic corps.
A gasoline stove exploded at the
home Of g. A. Stevens. Sunday even
ing, caused a little furry of excite
ment, but no damage. The much dis
cussed new siren whistle, as usual was
heard, or unheard, largely according
as the auricular powers of the citizens
were unimpaired by prejudice in favor,
or against the whistle.
The Mandan- Tower City basketball
game proved to be disappointment
to the local fans. Mandan's lack of
practice made the game very slow and
the high school romped away to an
easy victory of 81 to 10. Beltman and
Motion did practically all the scoring
for Tower City.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Boldly returned
this week from a months visit to their
old home in Ontario.
About thirty enthusiastic basketball
fans accompanied their pet players to
Fargo last night. only to see Fargo
cop the game to a score of SO to %.
