INSTALLED FINE "
x-RAY MACHINE
DIR. HAGAN HAS FINEST A-RAI
MACHINE IN NORTHWEST COST.
l. ING ABOUT S35OO-INSTALL-
ED BY CARL YOUNG

DR.. Hagan has installed a new
X-Ray machine in his Office which Will
be of great benefit to the people OF
this section of the northwest. Inc
machine is manufactured by Wm'
Myer Co. of Chicago and is being IN
stalled by Carl Young Of that city.
The machine is the latest and most
up-to-date made and costs the doctor
about thirty five hundred dollars:
There is nothing like it between Grand
Forks and Great Falls. With this
equipment the doctor can examine all
parts of the body, locate fractures,
stomach trouble, lung trouble and IN
fact almost any old kind of trouble.
The only thing didn'e hear them
claim for the machine was that 1t
could tell what you were thinking
about after, watching several
examinations we are half of the opin-
ion that it could almost read a per-
sons mind. At any rate it is great
addition to the city and will be OF
wonderful value to the public and es-
pecially those suffering with frac-
lures or broken bones. BY taking pic
lures lung trouble can be located o.
proven.

THE new ORDER NAY
EFFECT SOFT DRINKS
FEDERAL FOOD DEP PARTMENT
RULING ON BEER MAY STOP
Use OF NEAR BEERS

Fargo, Sept. 10.-North Dakota,
having been Sahara of dryness for
20 wears, is not so deeply concerned
as many other states in the new or
der from Washington prohibiting the
manufacture of beer after December
I next but there is much interest in
the possible effect that the new or
der viii have on soft drinks and near
beers and substitutes which have been
a part of the refreshment of the peo-
ple of the state for some time past.
It is generally thought that the
order will affect the manufacture of
the soft drinks and substitutes for
the order carries in it warning that
all may see when it says there will
be a further great curtainment in
fuel for the manufacture of glass
containers, of tin plate for caps, of
transportation and of food products
in such beverages"
DR.. E. F. Ladd, food administra-
tor, said this morning, "The inclus-
ion of the near-beers and substitutes
in the order was being considered
when was in Washington. They are
all now being produced on reduced
supplies of fuel and food materials
and the order issued Saturday holds
warning that he who runs may

The Boston Red Sox and Chicago
Cubs hooked up again today in the
sixth game Of the worlds series, be-
fore several thousand spectators, who
shivered and shook in an arctic blast
that reached every corner of the field
and stands. Murmurs of another
strike over the division of the money
of the series faded out during the
morning when the club owners held
a conference, for afterward it was
given out that the contest would be
played and reports were that Boston
and Chicago owners had met the sit
uation. .

Well known FairvieW
Woman Is Killed

A pallor of gloom was cast upon
the city Of Fairview last Wednesday
afternoon when the sad news reached
there that Mrs. Walter Kruckeberg
had been killed.
About 1880 Wednesday forenoon
Mrs. Warren Jennison and sister, Mrs.
Con Sannan of Rugby, N. D., accom-
panied by Mrs. Walter Kruckeberg,
Mrs. Robert Casey and Mrs. w. NJ.
Newell started on an auto trip to
Glendive. About two hours later word
was received that an accident had oc-
Cured near Intake and the husbands
of the ladies hurriedly left for the
scene of the accident.
Some gravel and small stones that
were lodged in the road caused their
car to slip and fall over an embank-
ment about seventy-five feet high.
The car rolled over several times on
the way down and Mrs. Kruckeberg
was instantly killed. The others in
the car were more or less injured,
Mrs. Jennison fractured both jaws
and has been in a critical condition
since, but reports of late state that
she is thought out of danger.
Mrs. Walter Kruckeberg was the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Lebeck, who reside about one mile east
of Fairview. She was married to Wal
ter Kruckeberg in 1910, one of Fair
views most promising business men.
To this union one child, son, was
born who is now about years Of age.
The funeral was held Monday af-
ternoon at Fairview and was the larg-
est funeral ever seen there. Several
friends and relatives went from Will
liston to attend the funeral. Among
those to attend the funeral from here
were, Mr.. George Kruckeberg, Mr..
Ben Kruckeberg, Miss Loretta Krucke-
berg, Mrs. Stedem, Mrs. A. H. Vohs

ALL REMOVED FROM
T0RPtD0ED VESSEL
VESSEL WITH 20OO SOLDIERS ON
BOARD TORPEDOED BUT
ALL ARE SAVED

London, Tuesday, Sept. 10. = A
troop ship with $500 American sol.
diers on board has been torpedoed
All hands were saved. The troop
ship was beached.
In order to save time instead of
launching the boats the men clamb-
cred down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside.
This operation was greatly facili-
tated by the fact that the sea was not
rough.
The troopship was member of Il
large convoy approaching the Eng
lish coast. The vessel was torpedoed
200 miles from shore at o'clock on
Friday afternoon.
The transfer of the American sol
diers from the stricken vessel to es-
corting British and American tor
pedo boat destroyers was made with.
out injury to any one.
They all escaped injury when the
torpedo exploded and they were soon
on their way to a British port.
No Sign of Panic
There was no sign of panic on
board and the admirable behavior OF
the men was especially gratifying ia
the officers. r.,
Submarine Destroyed
Several sbldiers told the Asso-
ciated Press that they saw the Ger
man submarine lifted clear out of
the water after one of the depth
bombs exploded and then entirely dis
appear.
Something had gone wrong with
the troopship's engines which COM
PEELED her a time to lag behind the
rest of the convoy but the trouble
had been fixed up and Sc was fast
catching up with the other trans
ports when a torpedo hit her just
forward of the engine room.
The vessel at once began to sink
by the bow. The water was rushing
in at such rate that it wa sthought
the steamer would quickly founder.
Ship Did Not Sink
To the surprise of most of the
soldiers the troopship did not sink.
Some means apparently were found
to check the thrush of water and she
got near enough to the shore to be
beached.

srhe Wittenberg Hospital wish to
express their thanks and apprecia-

brought flowers to the hospital TO

charity means so much to those who
ARE confined to the sick room, some
times far away from relatives and
friends. These kind friends of the
sick help to make people feel that
NFHliston is community whose peo.
pie are kind and unselfish, whose peo-
pie like to help and see everybody

people are selfish will never prosper

Thresher Reports
Not Very Good

Several of the threshers have hand
ed in their reports so far to the
County Agent and from these reports
we find that the grain is running very
light. One threshing rig west of town
only averaged Ill bushels per acre
while the highest report received so
far was 5.68 bushels per acre. Much
better reports than this are expected
as the harvest progresses and we
should not take these reports serious
as all those received so far have
been from sections of the county
where the crop was very poor.

JUDGE AMIDON HOLDS THAT
TRUSTEE CAN INQUIRE INTO
FINANCES OF LEADER

Fargo, Sept. 11.-Judge C. F. Ami.
don, in the United States federal
court, ruled late Tuesday afternoon
against A. C. Townley in his demand
that the trustee in bankruptcy, in.
vestigating Townley's financial af-
fairs, be restrained from making an
examination of the records of the
Nonpartisan league and auxiliary en-
terprises managed by Mr.. Townley.
The question of whether or not
such investigation shall be made by
a master in chancillory, or be under
the direct supervision Of the judge
himself, was taken under advisement.
Some time ago, just few days
before the North Dakota primary
election, after the Nonpartisan chiefs
counsel, James Manahan and VIM.

records of the Nonpartisan league,
they appeared in the federal court of

BRITISH DRIVE AHEAD IN NORTH.
FIRE AND MASSACRE'|N PETR0GRAD
ENGLISH CLOSING IN ON QUENTIN AND FRENCH ON LA
FERE - FIRES REPORTED IN RUSSIAN CAPITOL
JAPANESE SUCCESSFUL

The British were again moving
forward today toward the Hinden-
burg line in the one sector where
they are still some distance from it,
near the center of the allied battle
front.
Some progress was made during
the night in the Vermand region
where Field Marshal Haig's forces
are closing in upon St. Quentin from
the north while the French are push
ing up from the south.
Further north the British were re-
ported today having gained foot
hold in the twin towns of Peiziere
and Epehy, two and half miles
from the Hindenburg line opposite
LIE Catelet. The Germans are resist
ing strongly here as this section of
the line forms part of the defenses
of Cambria on the south.
Their resistance in this sector also
is taking the form of strong coun-
ter attacks at Gouzeaucourt, just to
the north.
The defense of Cambria is likewise
being carried to the aggressive side
by the Germans along the Canal Du
Nord, where the British stand far
inside the Hindenburg line after hav-
ing broken the Queant Drocourt
switch. In this aggressive movement
the enemy last night sharply coun-
ter-attacked near Moeuvres just to
the east of Queant and at Ecourt-St.
Quentin, north of the Arras-Cam
brai road. In both cases the British
held their ground, repulsing the Ger
mans in stiff engagements.
The French drive in upon La Fere
a northerly defense of the St. Co.
balm bastion, is reported today to
have made notable progress with the
capture of the town Of Travecy, on
the Hinde4burg line two miles di-
rectly north of In Fere. The hold
ing OF this ground would result in
the outfianking of La Fere on the
northerly side.
The Germans also have been at
tacking desperately on the French
front where the line runs north from
the Aisne toward the St. Gobain
massif. They are attempting to drive
the Franco American forces there of
the Mont Rouge plateau, the allied
occupation of which is threatening
the flank of the line far to the east.
All their efforts, however, have been
fruitless.

the message said it did not indicate
whether the massacre was organized
