Lad Crushed To
Death BY Tractor

Regent, N. D., May 24.-Starting
tractor when the machine was in
gear, Norris, Halvorson, 10 years old,
was instantly killed when pinned be-
tween the tractor and the wall of the
shed. Halvorson's mother, alarmed
at his absence, found him dead, stand
ing upright against the shed wall.
Misfortune has fallen repeatedly to
the lot of the mother. Crop failures
reduced the family to Strengthened
circumstances; within the last year
the husband and elder daughter did;
three months ago the farm home was
destroyed by fire, together with all
its contents, and the death Of the
eldest son comes Just in the rush Of
spring work on the farm.

p1y COMPANY.

ply Company.
Prior to the water works bond
election the city engineer publish
the water situation. 1t was patent
at the time that the publication was
for the purpose Of inducing the ap-
proval of the bonds. Realizing the
necessity for the adoption of a
method of paying for municipal
plant whether the city took over
the present plant or should con-
I clude to build new one, the water
company refrained from answering
the city engineers articles because
its only objections to the bond issue
was that it was entirely too small.
The Water Company is one of the
heaviest taxpayers in the city, pay
ing nearly $4,000 per annum or l 6
of it's gross revenue. 1t therefore
becomes interesting as other tax
payers in the method adopted to
fore answer some of the City En-
gineer's statements.
The City's Method of Financing Un-
Just
The method proposed by the city
of financing municipal water sys-
tenn is unjust, discriminatory and
confiscatory Of the real estate own
ers property.
Briefly stated the city's method
follows: The operating expense Of
the plant is to be included in the
water rates. The sinking fund and
interest on the $225,OOO bonds is al
so to be included in the water rates

RAIDS OF BANDITS IN CHINA REVEAL
FOR FIRST TIME HOW UNITED STATES
STARTED MARCH TO AID FOREIGNERS
Distinguished Army Officer
Tells How Americans
Painted Way During the
Boxer Rebellion.

Washington, May "a Discussions
here of the plight Of the foreigners
help captive in Shantung province
have brought to. LIGHT for the first
time an interesting chapter of the
Boxer incident in 1900, when the
foreign colony in Peking was be-
siegcd and threatened with death.
AS related today by distin-
guished American army officer now
retired but at that time occupying
q high position in the war depart
mcnt, the story discloses that 1t
was the United States which start
ed the march on Peking for relief
of the besieged nationals. In tax
ing the initiative in the nterna
tional movement OF troops this gov
had not yet come into the possession
of the other powers.
SO unusual was the method by
which Washington kept advised of
the situation and so great re-
sponsibility descended on the
shoulders Of those who provided 1T
that the details now publicly re-
made matter of official record.
The story turns upon the fact
that the Chinese minister in Wash.
ington in 1900 was WI Ting Fang,
who recently died in the harness
as foreign minister for President
Sun Vat Sens canton government.
He was a man of singular ability,
largely sympathetic with the Amer
lean viewpoint. One of his closest
friends was the famous Chinese
tuchun, Yuan Shih Kai, at that time
governor of the great province Chi
hi which includes Peking, and later
emperor.
Legationers Besieged
While the legationers were be-
seiged within the compound in Pek-
ing by the boxer forces they were
almost completely cut off from
communication with their home
governments and the outside word
The Chinese government itself do
minated by the old empress dowager
herself bitterly antiforeign, was
known to be sympathetic with the
boxer movement, though professedly J
taking no part in it. In conse.
quence, that government gave no as
sistance to the powers that were
making frantic efforts to get IN
touch with their besieged diplomatic
representatives.
1t was at this juncture that the
friendship between WI Ting Fans
and Yuan Shih Kai became most
valuable asset. A great personal
risk, because a discovery of his &C.
tivities would have cost him his life
when he returned to China. Minis.
ter WI induced Yuan Shih Kai by
secret means to get into communi.
cation with the legationers. Soor
afterward, through this agency, the
first news reached Washington that
the prisoners had not been, killed
outright as was at first reported al
