NYE SEES LONG
ANDBLOODY WAR
TO BEAT TEUTONS
District Judge Declares
Self Convinced Struggle
Will Be Bitter

at looks to me as If we are in a
fierce and bloody struggle and 1t
may be a long time before 1t is set
tied: but we must all get behind the
government and win the war for the
safety and honor of our beloved
country"
The above Is one Of the statements
made by Capt. c. A. Nye in a letter
to County Attorney G. G. Dosland.
The letter was written from Fort
Sheridan where Capt Nye is still
stationed. Following is part of the
letter:
II may be held at Fort Sheridan
for some time as no order has been
received relieving me from dutv at
this post My work is of such nat
ure that II will take little time to
acuuaint my successor with the
duties. At present / have charge of
all the issues of clothing and equip
ment to the entire post; also sales
of same, as we'll as other supplies,
such as water, light, was. etc. Am
handling from 81 900 to 81 500 daily
in various transactions. so the re-
sponsibility is quite heavy. | have
quite a force Of civil and military
clerks to help in the work ami have
organized so that il is not as hard
to handle as it was at first.
"Of course, l expect to go to
Leavenworth in few weeks and
later across the water, but in this
war game all is uncertain and one
must take what he gets and make
the best of it. Yesterday was a big
day here and in Chicago rs we pull
ed off the big military parade, 1t was
really a great sight. l was in charge
Of the inspection Of trains and equip
ment for the government and had a
very busy day although neither my
men nor myself marched in the
parade"
Capt. Nye says he is glad to learn
that court business is so well taken
care of and is grateful to the mem
bers of the bar and the other two
Judges Of the district for arranging
matters so that he could have
leave of absence.

ASKS THAT ROAD
WORK Be BANNED
BY STATE COURT
Oberg Would Restrain
Kragness Township from
Continuing Work

John Oberg, one OF the leading
farmers of Kragnes township, has de-
clared war on the town board. He has
cited them to appear before Judg e
William l.. Parsons at the Clay coun-
4 ~ courthouse in Moorhead on Aug. II
on an order TO show cause in proceed
ings to restrain them from doing fur
Their ditch work, as he claims in his
moving papers, and paying for ii out
of the township road fund.
In his complaint, prepared by his
attorney, Garfield II. Rustad, Mr..
Oberg alleges that he is the owner of
l,0075 acres of land in Kragnes town
ship. He then claims that during the
spring and summer of the present
year the township supervisors. In do
ing road work constructed a number
of big bitches opposite portions Of
their own land and solely for their
own benefit. 1t is also alleged by Mr..
Oberg that some of the bitches are
from thirty to forty feet from roadbed
and of no benefit to the road. The
allegations stated that all of this
done under the pretext of ConstruC-
ttOn and repair of the roads. War
rants, he alleges. have been issued
against the road fund and paid by the
township treasurer contrary to law.
He asks for an order restraining the
township supervisors from causing
further construction of ditch work
and the township treasurer from issu-
ing or paying any more warrants
drawn on the road fund.
The supervisors have retained Co.
Atty. c. G. Dosland to represent the
board and will maintain that the
bitches were necessary in the proper
construction of a highway. Alfred
Olson, Leonard Peterson and f. o.
Studlien. the supervisors, and J. T.
Gee. town clerk, are all prominent
farmers and old settlers of the town
ship, and Jacob Olness. the treasurer,
is the general merchant at Kragnes
station.
The majority Of the farmers of
Kragnes township likely will be at
the courthouse in Moorhead next
Tuesday morning to hear the argu-
ments in the case.

LATE WHEAT IS
HELPED BY RAIN

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. s. Wheat:
There is little new feature IN the
wheat market and the undertone re-
mains steady Rains northwest are
favorable for the late wheat. Cash
demand does not show much interest.
Corn: Bearish crop reports and
favorable weather caused scattered
selling of corn, but the undertone
was steady There has been consid-
cradle selling recently on rains over
the corn belt and the market appears
to have discounted the conditions.
Cash prices hold relatively firm with
no change in the general situation.
The crop may be considered as about
made now, barring frosts, but the
high cash prices preclude the exist
ence of any very bearish sentiment
until the cash demand falls off. New
corn is being contracted for in the
southwest at prices much over pres
emit basis. We look for support on
the declines.
Oats: Oats have been in fair de-
mand notwithstanding bearish crop
advices. General rains may delay
movement and on the account there
has ben some buying of the Septem-
Der. However, any liberal receipts
would alter the cash situation mate
rally and while prices are cheap
comparatively, the main support of
the bulls at present is the cash mar
ket. Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

(Rv Associated Press.1

London. Aug. 8.-The health OF
Alexander F. Kerensky, Russia's man
of the hour. is a matter of grave
concern to his friends and associates
according to members of an English
delegation which has just returned
from Petrograd Premier Kerensky's
health was none too good when he
took office and the strain since has
been not only constant but probably
heavier than any other statesman's
in the world today.
Illustrative of his weakness, 1t is
stated that even during the first
weeks Of the revolution every public
speech he made was followed by a
period of faintness. His friends say
that only his tremendous will power
and nervous energy have kept him
going so long.
