Ultimatum Sent by Great Britain
limited States Denies
Similar Step

Rome, Tuesday, Oct. Much exite-
ment in political circles and extended
comment in the press has been caused
by reported receipt of warnings from
Great Britain and United States TO
Italy in regard the situation at Fiume.
1t is declared the warning from Eng.
land stated iii effect, unless the ''pres-
ent illegal situation at Fiume" should
be discontinued Italy would run the
risk Of being put out of alliance and
peace conference" and that it received
a few days later a similar warning
from the United States.
! The Tribuna, one Of the leading com
mentators, declares that Italy is not
alone responsible for the Fiume situa-
tion and incidentally attacks what it
calls that 'prepondence" of President
Wilson in the peace conference and
the alleged inability or unwillingness
Of the allies to limit it," President
Wilson, says the newspaper, although
a high parsonage is not exempt from
human weaknesses, as is proved Dy
his present grave nervous illness"

THE FORKS HAS
NIGHT MURDER;
GIRL IS VICTIM
Edna Werner, II Years Old, Shot
on Bridge Between Red
River Towns
NO MOTIVE FOR CRIME
Only Possible Incentive Chance
That Young Woman May
Have Had Money

"AuAu y VI hS, ~. IL, OCl. C.-Lulu
Werner, aged II, Of East Grand Forks,
Mimi, just across the Red river from
this city, was killed on the Washington
avenue bridge shortly after 8 O'Clock
Tuesday night. The body was thrown
over the rail Of the bridge to the banks
Of the river 30 feet below and was
discovered at 8 o'clock this morning.
The girl was shot through the head.
Thorough examination will be made as
soon as the coroner arrives.
No clue as to the identity of the
slayer has been discovered.
LEFT HOME LAST NIGHT
Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. s.-Miss
Werner left home alone at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night saying she would BE-
back in q short time. When She failed
to return her family became worried
and upon hearing Of the murder this
morning went to the scene Of the
tragedy and identified the body.
Michael Eichhammer and Herbert
Jarvis were passing near the bridge
shortly after 8 O'Clock Tuesday night.
They report having heard woman's
scream followed by two revolver shots
They made no further investigation ut
the time, however. Eichhammer said
that shortly after the shot two auto
mobiles passed along Washington
street from the direction Of the
bridge, travelling at high speed.
When found the body lay in the
bushes underneath the bridge about
100 feet from the north end. A dry
pool of blood on the edge of the bridge
itself indicated that the crime ha !
been committed there and the body
thrown over.
MAY HAVE HAD MONEY,
The only clue for the motive Of the
murder is the suggestion that the girl
may have been carrying large sum
of money home from work that day.
Her aunt, Mrs. Louis Werner vita
whom she lived, said today that Edna
was a silent girl and never gave ous
information regarding her men friends.
Her mother is dead and the whera-
abouts of her father are unknown.
