BEFORE CAPTURE
Son of Fargo Man Found in
Antwerp, Suffering from
Eight Wounds

The story Of the remarkable ca
reer in the air of Lieut.. William Lee
Dougan, son of Archie p. Dougan
1907 Fifth street north. Fargo, is
contained in press dispatch by E
Percy Noel. cabled to the Chicago
Daily News, and received in Fargo
today. Mr.. Dougan, the soldiers
father. is with The Forum.
Lieutenant Dougan. reported miss
ing several weeks ago, was subse-
qIently reported safe, but until Mr.
Dougan received today the story OF
his sons remarkable exploits he had
no definite adyices as to the young
soldiers experience.
Found in Antwerp
The story is best told in the words
of the Chicago News correspondent:
Among the wounded, when the
Germans deserted Antwerp, were left
about 120 Allied soldiers, including
two American officers, Capt. John II.
Smith Of New Bedford. Mass, be-
longing to the 18TH regiment of
field artillery attached to the French
forces in Flanders. and Lieut.. w. L.
Dougan. of Neosho. Mo-. scout pilot
in the British Air forces for eight
months.
Both of them were very much
pleased to see the first American or
British since their capture, when ]
called at the hospital Nov. 19, where
they were being nursed tenderly by
Belgian sisters and volunteers.

Lieutenant Dougan was brought
down by machine gun fire from the

LONG DEFER RED
ELECTRIC. GAS
CASES WILL BE.
UP JAuU AIRY e

AT last, the celebrated Fargo gas
and electric light rate case has been
fixed for a hearing.
Word to that effect was received
in Fargo today from Bismarck. the
state railroad commission having
selected Jan. 2s as the date for the
Fargo hearing, the hearing to be
held in this city.
On Jan. 80. the railroad board will
hear complaints made by the people
Of Grand Forks, that hearing being
made in Grand Forks.
Since last August. when the Fargo
city commission protested to the
state railroad commission against
the increased rates put into effect by
the Union Light. Heat & Power Co,
the actions have been held up on the
theory that the state could get a
better deal out Of the incoming rail-
road commission than it could get
out of the present rail commission,
the terms of Office OF which expire at
the close Of this year.
According to the Bismarck advices
received by The Forum today, Attore
ney General LANCER has advised the
railroad commission that he is ready
to proceed with the cases. The
prosecution of the complaints by the
two cities was placed in his hands
his request.
