GERMANY TURNING
BIG GUNS ON ITALY

Rome, July 4.-The array of Aus
trian big caliber artillery in the Tren'
tino has assumed the aspect of prepa.
ration, for an offensive. The italian
supreme command has been able to
ascertain that Germany has consider.
ably contributed to this great quantity
of artillery, sending her ally hundreds
of trains carrying ammunition.
The Italian troops on the Cucco,
Vodivice and Carso made their recent
advance under a barrage fire of excep.
tional intensity. More than 1000 Aus
trian big caliber guns are arranged
on the short expanse from the Vipac.
co to the sea.
The intensity and number of the
enemy's bombardments show the great
amount of their ammunition.
Every day Italian aeroplanes are
able to pick out new artillery or new
arrivals of ammunition and artillery
lists.

County Commissioners
July Meeting Tuesday
Many Important Matters Taken up at
The Regular July Meeting of the
County Commissioners

The board of Sioux county COM
missioners met at the court house
Tuesday for the regular July meet
ing with Commissioners Leach,
Stiles and Cibart present.
The time of the board has been
taken up largely with matters per-
tanning to laying out roads, bridges,
abatement taxes and other routine
business. One of the more inn
portant acts Of the meeting was the
matter of a bridge over the Cannon
ball river at Porcupine station.
The river forms the boundary be
Sioux and Grant counties, and the
commissioners of Grant county have
already taken action to pay half the
cost of the bridge.
Superintendent Kitch in charge
of the reservation, met with the
board and agreed to ask for $780,
90 appropriation from the govern
ment to help Sioux county pay its
half of the cost. This action was
taken because there are large num-
ber of Indians living near Porcupine
who do their trading at Shields and
the bridge would be a convenience
to them. A large number Of new
settlers have also located in Sioux
county during the year tributary to
the river and without bridge it is
impossible for them to market their
grain.
One of the other important acts
was the granting Of a petition ! for
the division of Hanna school dis
trict No. 2, and organizing all the
territory within Menz civil town
ship into a new district to be known
as Menz District No.5.
This afternoon the board will
meet as the county board of equali-
zation and review the assessments as
returned by the county assessors.
This is quite a big task and will last
until Saturday, and Monday the
the board will make trip over
the county going through Selfridge
and through to the west end to look
up some road and other matters.

"a Bodies Recovered
After Racial Riotine
Five Different Negro District. Abl.xe
At the Same lime During Riotins
In East st. Louis, III.

East st. Louis, ILL.,, July 4.-When
citizens of East St. Louis awoke after
the brief rest that followed a night of
rioting they began to take stock Of
the wave of lawlessness that held the
city in terror for twenty-four hours.
A survey of the casualties showed
twenty-four bodies recovered, includ.
ing three whites.
Five negro quarters in different sec.
tions of East st. Louis were burned,
several hundred homes destroyed and
approximately 300 persons injured.
Five fires ragged simultaneously during
the night.
Eleven companies of the Illinois ma.
tional guard. numbering about 1,5O0
men, are patrolling the streets with
orders to prevent any lettering at cor.
ners and any assembly of people on
the streets.
The property loss due to the rioting
was heavy because the warehouse of
the Southern Railway and between 100
and $50 freight cars were destroyed
by the flames. The loss will amount
to as high as $500,00O. The Broadway
theater, valued at 100000, also was
destroyed.
Hundreds of negro houses were
burned and many negroes are without
homes. Militiamen made the rounds
of the streets bringing negroes, es.
pecially women and children, to the
station for safety from the mobs.
Hundreds of negroes, many Of them
women carrying babies, crossed into
st. Louis. .
Five hundred white men were ar.
rested by police and guardsmen dur.
ing the night.
Adjutant General Dickson said that
military rule had not been established
and probably would not be. Mayor
Mollman of East st. Louis said that
the adjutant general asked for a decla'
ration of military rule, and this fact
gave rise to the statement that mill.
tary rule actually had been declared
The adjutant general declared that
the transfer of military cases to civil
courts involved SC much trouble that
reluctance to declare military rule
was shown.

Three More Villages
TakenBy The Russians
Reports Tell of Russians Taking Six

Petrograd, July 4.-The new Rus.
sian offensive has resulted in the
capture of 5000 more prisoners. The
Russians are advancing towards Zlo-
choff, Galicia, the war office an.
nounces.
Russian troops have occupied the
Galician villages of Presovce, Zboroff
and Korshiduv. The Austro-G German
forces have retreated westward across
the Little Stripa river.
Twenty-one guns and several mine
thrOwers were captured.
Details from an authorized source
of the victorious Russian attack in
Galicia state that Finnish division
participated in the victory at Koniu-
chy.
All enemy trenches on the slopes Of
Mount Sredniaya Goura, east of
Koniuchy, were occupied, besides the
village of Kentucky. The forest west
of there as far as Kolf was taken.
All German trenches south of Koniu-
chy and the wood west of the village
of Schibalcim, also two lines of
trenches northwest of Zoloukhi and
similar positions southwest of Porou-
tory and east and southwest of Bmit.
chischou, fell into the hands of the
Russians.
The war ministry authorizes the
statement that preparations as re.
CARDS munitions and equipment are
in better shape than in any preceding
period of the war.
Military movements on the other
fronts are dwarfed in Importance by
the Russian drive. There is never.
theless considerable activity on the
Aisne and Verdun fronts in Northern
France, where the Germans are con,
tinuing their persistent attacks. Gen.
eral Petain's forces are holding firm,
however, and alr the crown princes
attacks were completely checked.

SITUATION IN SPAIN
IS GROWING WORSE

Paris, Julp 4.-The situation in
Spain, far from improving, appears
to be going from bad to worse. The
gravity of the crisis is confirmed am.
ply by such news as reaches Paris.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Petit Parisien says the suspension
of constitutional guarantees by the
government has not removed the un.
rest in Spain.
The Whole country appears to be on
the verge of revolution.
The fact that the heavily censored
Spanish press publishes nothing con-
corning the internal situation seems
to indicate conditions are far from
normal.

League Make Terms
Farmers, says Nonparti.an Reprsssnt..
tive, Have Agreed on Minimum
Wages-$4 per Day

st. Paul, Mimi, June 3O.-Ac-
cording to statement issued today
by John Gilbert, local representative
OF the Nonpartisan league, farmer
members OF that organization, and
members Of the l. w. WIS have
reached a tentative agreement by
which the latter will obtain employ
ment in North Dakota harvest fields
and these of other states this sum-
mer.
The agreement is to be ratified at
a meeting to he held in Minot, n.
Dak., July II, MIR. Gilbert said.
The farmers on their part have
guaranteed the L. w. WIS a min.
lmum wage of s4.00 daily, with a
sliding scale to be based on the
price OF wheat. In return they will
DC guaranteed sufficient supply Of
labor and freedom from strikes. In
addition, 18th parties have agreed
that the railroads will be paid the
fare OF the harvest hands, relieving
the road of trouble incident to at.
tempts at stealing rides.
There is no doubt that the farm
ers will ratify the agreement, Mr..
Gilbert said.
1T is a fine thing for our MEM
bers, he added, for it assures
them labor at reasonable wage
when labor is scarce, and freedom
from all the strike troubles thew
have had during the past few wears.
The statement in a telegram from
Fargo that the 1. w. WIS think
they are entitled to wages of s11.45
a day is wrong. We found them
reasonable in their demands. Nat.
urally railroad officials are pleased
with their part in the arrangement"

Catholic Congress At
Cannonball Successful
A. MEG. Beede Attends Catholic Con-
sress Sunday and Contributes Fol-

The scribe was present Sunday
July LIST at the Catholic Congress at
Cannonball. Pontifical High Mass
in the outdoor booth, celebrated by
Rt. Rev. Vincent Wehrle of Bis
marck was attended by 1000 people
including babes in their mothers
arms. have seen larger numbers
of Indians gathered for religious
conventions but | never sawa larger
or more attentive number attending
any one service entirely through.
1t is needless to say tnat the Bish-
ops address was short, direct and
convincing. One accustomed to
this frontier 40 years ago reflects on
the immense amount of continuous
patient labor making such re-
llglous service as this among In
dians possible.
Father Bernard is not inclined to
love praise for his labors, 40 the
mere mention that he has been here
nearly 30 years. Let others saw
more when he has gone to his rest.
The Cannonball congregation did
well in providing for so many peo-
pie, meeting practically on the
prairie, in such a way that no one
lacked the necessary comforts. Mr..
A. q. Wells exercised his accus.
toned hospitality, and the scribe
was not the only one to have well
come entertainment by Miss Agnes
Ferdette for many years teacher Of
the Cannonball Indian School. Mrs.
VanSolen and daughter Lucille were
also unconsciously making every
one feel welcome that it seemed al.
most as if the hospitablc times of
Mrs. Parkin and her husband n
S. Parkin were still here with us.
Do not forget tnat the Indians
themselves did the principal part
after all, and that they enjoyed
immensely this religious gathering.
The old timers, white,nen and In.
dians are fast passing away, NAV
the spirit of hospitality never pass
away. Besides Bishop Wehrle and
Vicar Hiltner from Bismarck there
were present 8 other priests, all
with the glad hand and kind word
A few years hence many will look
back to such gatherings as this with
bright remembrance of joy.

and truck loads of intoxicating liquors
crossed the interstate bridge bound for

endless procession of vehicles still
continues.
Duluth police will allow such motor
trains to continue unchallenged by

They said it means less left here for

Many of the Duluth saloons opened
