the state tennis champion and the
Red River Valley champion. besides
several other star net men, and q big
delegation of expert racket wielders
coming from Fargo with the intention
of uncrowning the local men, the
competition in the tennis tournament
to open here Monday Is expected to
be very keen.
In all the past tournaments Fargo
has always had some real contenders
for the titular honors, and the local
men must look to their laurels If they
will keep the titles here. Robert HUI
bert, president Of the Fargo Tennis
club, has promised to be on haad

strongest c~ontenders for the cham

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
AMBUSHED IN ILLINOIS
Cowardly Attempted Assassina-
ton of Officer Charged to
Bootleggers
ROADHOUSES RAIDED
Murders and Suicides Character
ize Dry-Law Enforcement
in Suckerdom

Two shots from ambush fired at
States Attorney Chauncey w. Reed
of DuPage County, ILL.,, as he was mo-
toring to his home at Naperville from
West Chicago, recently, were laid to
members of a bootleggers ring. The
shooting was a sequel to the recent
killing of Chief of Police George
Reihm OF West Chicago and the bomb
ing of the home of States Attorney
A. F. Smith of Lake County at Wau
kegan. Beth of these crimes were laid
to members of the bootleggers ring.
Reihm like States Attorney Smith
of Lake County, had been leading nu-
merous raids on roadhouses and cab
arets accused of selling gin and whisky
and in spite of frequent death threats
he continre ed to prosecute bootleggers.
Chief Reihm was shot and killed, the
police. say, by James Witt when the
chief suspected Witt of booze running
and attempted to question him one
night. Witt escaped with two women
in a roadster. With a $500 reward
on mis- head Witt shot and killed him
self after being wounded in a duel with
Sheriff Martin Hextal of Kendall
County on August 6.
These murders and attempted muir
ders of police officers in Chicago and
vicinity indicate a situation that pre-
walls throughout the country. Con-
spirators against the Eighteenth
Amendment are becoming more des-
eparte with the increased activity of
state and federal officers. The fight
has reached the stage where they do
not hesitate at murdr Reliable sta
tistics from Prohibition headquarters
show that proportionately there have
been more Prohibition enforcement of
fcers killed in performance of their
duty than there were American SOL
diers killed in the late war.
In the face of such a situation as
this how can any patriotic citizen be
Indifferent to the dry law enforcement
issue?
How can any patriotic citizen salve
his conscience with the declaration that
it is not his fight?
These criminals are striking at the
very foundations of government. NJ ore
is involved, vastly more than the mere
question of whether liquor is to be il
legally manufactured and illegally sold.
1t is a question of whether law is to
b made supreme.

SEASONS EQUALLY HOT
Deaths From Sunstroke in Chi

1916, 535

DR.. w. A Evans, conductor of the
"How to Keep Well' column in the
Chicago Daily Tribune in issue OF
August % in a copyright story dis
cusses sunstroke and beer drinking
and cites some interesting figures rel
alive to deaths from sunstroke in Chi
cago during the heated season this
year as compared with a similar in
tensly not season of 1916.
He says that the number of cases
of sunstroke treated in Cook County
hospital this year was 10. The num-
Der of deaths from sunstrolse in Chi
cago this year was %. The number
of cases treated in Cook County hos
pital in 1916 was 253. The number OF
deaths from sunstroke that season in
Chicago was 535. In July, 1916, the
number of deaths was 241. In July
1921, it was 10.
He quotes weather bureau statis-
tics to SHOW that the weather of July
1921, was 8.8 degrees above normal
and was the warest on record. The
July ranking next in heat to that OF
1921 was that of 1916.
In seeking to find cause for the
big decrease in the number OF deaths
