War and the Machine

Since 1914 the world has covered
more ground, in the matter Of making
war, than was traversed between the
time when mailed Spanish conquerors
with harquebuses invaded the Amer
icas and the time when cannon thun-
dered at Sumter. In the last seven
years we have witnessed an extra
ordinary evolution. The machine has
entered the lists, and the soldier has
become a mechanic. Not only ma
chine guns, tanks, trench mortars, me-
chanical coordination, Of battery fire,
the simultaneous projection of lethal
gases from linked instruments, and
the other machinery Of destruction,
are essential; but machinery which:
vastly multiplies the fighting power
Of the individual soldier has come
into play.

VILLAGE RAZED
BY FOREST FIRE
Entire Town Destroyed in Minnesota
Forest Fire District When Wind
Carries Embers
NO LOSS OF LIFE YET REPORTED
Settlers Had Ample warnins-Escsps
in Motor Trucks

Whitepine, lumber settlement
eight miles north Of McGrath, Mimi,
was destroyed early Tuesday after
noon, and inhabitants Of Solana vii
lage, four miles east Of there, were
forced to flee the town when q sudden
30-mile wind sprang up at noon and
swept forest fires north of McGrath
beyond the control Of fire lines.
A message received at the Office Of
the 500 Line at Superior, Wis, at one
o'clock from the operator at Solana
stated that the town of Whitepine had
been entirely wiped out by the forest
fires.
"Whitepine seemed to catch fire at
once," read the message. It went on
to state that nothing was saved, but
the women and children had escaped
in motor trucks. The men who were
fighting the fire are also safe. A 500
Line refugee train was sent to So
lana to await developments.
At 1:15 the operator at Solana de-
serted his post, and Superior officials
were Of the opinion that the fire had
reached the depot where he was work.
ing.
All efforts Of the fire fighters in the
forest fire region were concentrated
in starting backfires and digging
trenches to confine the flames to cer-
tain areas and to prevent their fur
ther spread.
Threatening conditions were report
ed at Arthdyke. and Adj. Gen. w, +.
Rhinow, in command Of the state
troops, dispatched 100 men to that
place. Residents Of the town and
farmers living in that vicinity were
ordered to leave at once.
There has been no loss Of life 20
far as can be learned, and in all re-
ports received, 1t is emphasized that
under present conditions there was
little reason to fear for the safety Of
settlers, as all in the danger zones
had had ample warning.
In the vicinity Of Two Harbors,
north Of Duluth, on Lake Superior,
spectacular fires were causing anxi-
ETY. and all available men were called
out for service. East Of French river,
a fire originating in the brush was
sweeping on before a stiff shore
breeze.
In the valleys near Knife river
three fires were raging. Several hun,
dred volunteers in automobiles re-
sponded when man interrupted q
Labor day meeting at Two Harbors
and pleaded for assistance. Other
threatening fires were near Onamia

yINKLE PASSES
End Came Friday At Her Home At
Clitheral, Mimi.

Mrs. Henry vinkle, a former well
known resident Of Oakes, passed
away at her home at Clitheral, Mimi,
on Friday, Sept. 2. She had been all
ing for several months, and the last
week before her death failed rapidly.
The remains were taken to Minst, N.
D., on Sunday, where burial took
place.
Until fifteen years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Vinkle were prominent
residents Of Oakes. They ran the
vinkle hotel, which bore the Vinkle
name until taken over by the present
proprietor. It was here they raised
their family of three, one son and
two daughters. The son, Mahlon
yinkle, died some years before his
parents left Oakes, being the victim
Of an acetylene tank explosion. His
son, Harold Vinkle, still lives with
us, and was idolized by his grand
parents, he having taken the place Of
their own son. The daughters, Mrs.
NJ. L. Slocum, is now Of ,Minot, this
state, and the other daughter, Mrs.
Howard Hancock, makes her home in
Seattle, Wash. Since leaving here

Arrested for Murder IN 1a

Arrested for Murder In 1911
Orson Dodge, 48, a farm laborer,
is to face trial for a murder COM
mitted in 1911 in Wisconsin because
he became intoxicated at Mohall and
talked too much.
About year ago Dodge made con-
fidential friends Of other men at Mo-
hall who were with him when he be-
came intoxicated. He told them he
had murdered woman at Headquar-
ters, near Iron River, Wis. The mur-
der occurred at lumber camp and
jealousy was the motive of the crime.
The men who were with Dodge noti-
fled the sheriff, who Immediately wired
to Wisconsin for information, but be-
fore the report Of the crime was re-
ceived, Dodge had left the vicinity.
The officers in time were notified
that Mrs. Mary Spaulding, cook in
a lumber camp, had been murdered
at the time and place Dodge said he
murdered woman.
Last week Dodge returned to Mo-
hall as one of the army Of harvesters
moving into that section during the
last few weeks. Officials were notified
that he was back again and he was
placed under arrest Immediately. Ac-
cording to the sheriff's office he made
a complete confession.
Deputy Sheriff Long Of Bayfield,,
Wis, arrived in Mohall and has re-
turned to Wisconsin with Dodge, who
will be charged with first degree mur-
der.

Onlookers vs.. Shoppers

Onl0Okers vs.. Shoppers
We know that the trade Of q retail
store, says Fred Kelly in The Nations
Business, is somewhat in proportion
to the amount Of pedestrian traffic
passing the store. And yet the mer-
chants along Fifth avenue, New York,
are trying to get the city to limit the
number Of parades allowed to be held
on that famous street. Parades there
have become a nuisance. They draw
too much Of crowd. People who de-
sire to get into store can't do 20 be-
cause Of the difficulty Of making their
way. Furthermore, the crowd 10 COM
posed not Of shoppers but Of idle cur
iosity seekers. The parade takes their
mind off the idea Of buying.

Murderer and Three Pals At Large

s :
An interesting development in Grim
inal circles in North Dakota, which
Ward county officials are inclined to
believe may have something to do
with the wave of crime in this state,
is the escape from the asylum at
Jamestown Of Clarke N. Ticknor, con-
victed Of burglary in Minot four years
ago, and one Of the men who was with
Arthur Buck when he shot and killed
Policeman Patrick Devaney Of the
Minot police force and Kersey Cow
in, inspector connected with the at
torney generals Office, in September,
1917. Ticknor made his escape Mon
day Of last week.
With Ticknor's escape, the four
men implicated in the series of rob-
berries which preceded the killing Of
the officers and the shooting itself,
are all at large. ]. A. PARROT and
]. ]. Shirley, alias "Shep" were con-
victed with Ticknor on the charge Of
burglary and sentenced to four years
in the state penitentiary. Buck was
sentenced to life when convicted Of
murder. PARROT and Shirley served
their time, while Ticknor was COM
mitted to the asylum in 1919. Buck
made his escape from the peniten-
tiary q year and a half ago.
It 10. thought that the four gang
sters, now all at large, may have re-
assembled, and are responsible for
some Of the crimes committed in this
state recently.

BANKER KILLS
FAMILY, SELF
Ormsby, Mimi, Business Man Shoots
His Wife and Five Children
and Commits Suicide
VICTIMS WERE cHLOROF0RMED
Strengthened Up An Business Affairs
Before Tragedy

An entire family Of seven-the faith
er, mother and five children-was
found shot to death in their home at
Ormsby, Minn., late Monday, appar-
emily the victims Of the father, Frank
Klocow, prominent business man Of
Ormsby.
A woman going to make call dis
covered the bodies shortly after 4
p. M, but Coroner Thompson Of St.
James concluded that they met death
between midnight and a. m. Sum
day.
Besides Klocow and Mrs. Klocow,
the dead are the five children, Fred,
16 years old; Myrtle, IL; Glenn, IL;
Oliver, 10; Leland, 3.
All except the father had been shot
with revolver as they lay in bed and
there were indications that chloroform
had been used to numb their senses
before they were shot. The revolver
was found under Klocow's left arm.
Coroner Thompson, after viewing
the bodies and talking to neighbors,
said he thought Klocow had killed his
family and then himself. He has
asked County Attorney j. L. Lobben
whether an inquest is necessary.
Klocow was 40 years old and until
six weeks ago was cashier Of the
Farmers State bank Of Ormsby, but
resigned for some unexplained reason.
Not even the bank officials knew why
he quit, as he refused to give reason.
They declared his accounts were in
regular shape.
At 4 p. m. Monday Mrs. Albert
Strelow went to the Klocow home to
give to Mrs. Klocow the Sabbath
school contribution Of the Union
church, Of which Mrs. Klocow was
treasurer. Her knocks on the front
door were unanswered. Mrs. Strelow
went to the rear Of the house.
The back door was open and on it
was pinned note reading, walk il" :"
Mrs. Strelow stepped into the kitch-
en-, then into the living room, where
she saw the 14-year-old daughter,
Myrtle, lying on a cot, dead. She
was shot through the head.
Mrs. Strelow ran into the adjoining
bedroom, and saw Klocow's body ly-
ing on a bed, the face toward her.
In the; bed with him were Mrs. Klo-
cow and the youngest child, Leland.
Mrs. Strelow ran from the house
to neighbors, who notified the author
tiles. ,
The three older boys, Fred, Glenn
and Oliver, were found in their beds
upstairs. s44s J,
On Saturday, Klocow had gone
about the town, paying al his bills
| in cash, although It was his custom
TO use checks. When one. merchant
remarked on this Klocow said, You're
lucky to get your money at all. z

'..So ExCUsK' SAYS PRIs0NzR
Plea of Counsel TO. Shorter Term Il
Deuied BY Judge

r. ]. (Cy) Thomson pleaded guilty
Tuesday at Austin, Mimi, to the em-
bezzlement Of funds from the George
r. HORNED packing company Of that
city, and was sentenced to term not
to exceed 15Syears in the state prison.
District Judge J. r. D. Meighan Of
Albert. Lea pronounced the sentence
in district court. He gave Thomson
the maximum sentence on two counts
Of embezzlement; not to exceed ten
years. for the theft Of $500, 900, and
five years for the theft Of $35, 900.
Wr. Wright said that an agreement
had been reached with the HORNED
concern, under which only the two
charges preferred Tuesday would be
pressed against Thomson, and Tues
days action, therefore, terminates one
of the most sensational cases in the
history Of Minnesota.
Thomson was arrested last July 18,
and has been in the county jail at
Austin since.
The defalcation charged against
Thomson by his erstwhile employers
totaled $1,187 900, and the misappro-
priations covered a period Of five
years. The greater part Of the am
cunt embezzled, however, had been
appropriated in the eight months pre-
ceding Thomson's arrest. sI.S
+ During the sentence and entire
pleading Thomson was cool and show
ed very little emotion. He sat with
his hands clasped and his eyes level
except when Otto Baudler, county at
torney, charged that he stole the
money for "sef glorification," and
then he, lowered his eyes.
Mrs. Thomson, who was with her
husband, sobbed bitterly when the
sentence was pronounced. She was
accompanied by her brother, and
Thomson's mother and sister:
"A. w Wright, attorney for Thorn
son, argued for q concurrent sentence
rather than the accumulative sen
tence that was pronounced. The con-
current sentence would have limited
Thomson's stay at Saltwater to ten
years. @
Thomson smiled only once during
the proceedings; this after the judge
had asked him why he took the
money.
aNo excuse, Thomson answered.
Il did it. Why did it, / do not know 3
Wright also argued that Thomson
was fklicted with Bright,s disease,
and probably would not live TO serye
