jury investigated the case and re-
leased him.
Tilton, according to his attorneys,
was employed for three months by
Balkema as a collector. Tilton told
his attorneys he was employed under
contract, and that Balkema dis
charged him about a month before
the contract expired. A short time
later Tilton filed suit in the district
court against Balkema for the salary
alleged to be due him under the con-
| tract.
Tilton was arrested on a charge of
uttering a forged instrument on or
about the time the contract case trial
was to have been held, he told his
attorneys. While he was still in the
custody of the sheriff his case against
Balkema was dismissed, he said, and

miss the case. Tilton said G.. w.

ing as his attorney at the time of the

Ontario May Lift

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 5.-The pos

dian province of Ontario will ballot
to kill the wartime prohibition re-
strictions this fall is being given
some consideration by federal and
state officers here. Should Ontario
decide to again permit the sale of
liquor of more than two and ONE

officers believe whisky smugglers
whose activities over the Michigan
Chic border, the Wisconsin
line and from Chicago to points with
in this state, were checked with the
coming of national prohibition, will

October Is has been decided upon
as the date for taking the vote on
liquor in Ontario, the ballot to be in
the form of a referendum. The bill
contains four clauses, the first con-
cerning the repeal of the Ontario
temperance act, which will decide the
action of the provincial parliament.
The other three concern the traffic
in wine, beer and whisky in the indi-

COUNTY FAIR
STARTED OFF WELL
INTERESTING BALL GAMES AND
FINE COLLECTION OF
EXHIBITS

Nearly fifteen hundred people at
tended the Lake county fair yester-
day afternoon The principal fea-
ture of the day was the ball game
between Winfred and Chester, which
was won by Winfred by a score of
3 to O. 1t was a good clean contest
throughout. Chester had the follow
ing lineup: III. Smith, Tracey, A.
Smith, Entringer, Sterling, Heinman,
Vickman, Sanders and Westergard,
with Entringer and Sanders for the
battery. The Winfred lineup includ-
ed Farber, l.. Johnson, yelling, Sup
nois, Bradbury, Smith, l.. Johnson,
McRae and Anderson. Some allege
that victory came to Winfred simply
because each player wore "Caloric"
cap presented by the Rensch Hard
ware company of this city.
Prof. G. c. Wagner umpired the
game, Z. G. Quarnstrom acting as
field umpire.
Many more exhibits arrived on the
grounds yesterday and most of the
judging was completed. Seevral busi-
ress firms had specialties represent

In the vehicle and farm machinery
lines there are motor trucks, tractors,

individual points of merit. Thomas
Bliss represents the Case company.
Besides their reputable tractor, Mr..

tion a gang plow with several bot
toms attached. r.. j. Baxter brought
to the grounds Monarch tractor

demonstrations this afternoon. X. b.

Carranza Soldiers
Attacked u. S. Fliers

Laredo, Tex, Sept. Possibility
of an immediate retaliatory action by
United States military forces in con-
nection with the attack on an Amer
can army airplane has been elimi-
mated, it was indicated here by the
admission of Mexican authorities that
the attack was made by Carranza
soldiers.
While official confirmation was
lacking, the impression was gained in
army circles that this admission has
removed the situation from the hands
of the military, so far as emergency
action is concerned, and placed it di-
rectly up to Washington for proper
diplomatic action.
Mexican Consul Garcia said com
plete report had been made to Mex
leo City with o. request for instruc-
tions as to punishment of those who
are guilty.
One point in difference between
Mexican and American reports was
the location of the airplane when the
attackers fired the opening volley
into it. Consul Garcia declared an
investigation shows it was one kilom-
eter inside the Mexcan border, while
unofficial American reports insist the
plane was in United States territory
at the time.
The Mexicans fired at the ayiators

The wound sustained by Capt. ID

expected. His companion, Lieut.. VoI
De b. Johnson, was uninJured, al
though several bullets pierced thu

Navy Fight in
Sight in England

London, Sept 5.-The campaign
for administrative economy is gaining
momentum daily Andrew Bonar
Law, government leader in the house
of commons, and j. Austen Chamber
lain, chancellor of the exchequer
came to London especially to mold a
meeting of the cabinet
1t is understood that the discus
sion was centered around national
finance, being particularly devoted to
the question of how far it would be
possible to reduce estimates for de-
fensive service.
The demand of Baron Fisher, of
Kilverstone, former first sea lord, for
the virtual serapping of the navy, half
of which is already obsolete, on the
ground that a big navy is not re-
quired now that Germany has been
defeated, has been printed in all the
newspapers here and has caused a
great sensation. Naval experts con-
slider that Baron Fishers proposal is
much too drastic and fears are eX-
pressed that there is imminent a
great fight between the advocates OF
small and big navy.

PrOhibitiOnists to
Decide Policy Later

Chicago, Sept. 5.-A resolution
proposing that the prohibition party
''have no connection with the so-call-
ed world work" was rejected late
Tuesday by the national committee of
the party after heated debate. In
its stead was adopted an amendment
recommending that individual MEM
bers of the party be urged to "give
active assistance in the world prohibi-
tion work through the instrumental
ity of the prohibition foundation"
The foundation is an organization
composed of members of the prohbi-
tion party.
The national committee adjourned
it's two days meeting without out
lining definite policy for the future
OF the party.
1t adopted resolution authorizing
a national convention at time and
place to be determined by the execu-
tive committee. Speakers said it
should be understood that the con-
yention would be held subsequent to
