A NARROW ESCAPE

Farm Wagon When Struck
by Bolt.
Thomas Lenihan, a farmer living three and one-half miles west of Bald-kin on Burnt Creek, and his daughter, Nora, aged 13, were instantly killed yesterday morning, on the road near Arnold, by a bolt of lightning.
Lenihan and his daughter, accompanied by Nels Cook, were on their way to Bismarck yesterday morning, when they were overtaken by the heavy thunder storm, which seemed to circle around the city. The trio were riding in a farm wagon, and paid little or no attention to the storm which raged around them. Without the slightest warning the lightning struck them. Lenihan and Cook were thrown out of the wagon but the little girl was killed where she sat. Cook was unconscious for some time, and on regaining consciousness discovered the lifeless body of Lenihan beside him.
Team Runs Away. The crash frightened the team with
which they were traveling, and a runaway resulted.' * The team brought up against a barbed wire fence, over a mile from where the accident occurred and it was here that the body of little Nora Lenihan was found. Death in both cases was instantaneous. Medical assistance was summoned at once but all attention was given to Cook, who was in a most precarious condition.
Well Known Here. Thomas Lenihan Is well known in
Bismarck, and has been a resident of this locality for a great many years. He was about 45 years of age, and is survived by a number of relatives in the immediate vicinity.
Funeral services will take place Tuesday from St. Mary's church.
HOLDS TIME IS RIPE FOR U. S. TO MEDIATE
E Time Their Visit With Receipt of
$2,000 Registered Money
Package.
Buxton, N. D., June 26.—Yeggmen dynamited the safe in the postoffice here Friaday night and escaped with a package of registered mail containing $2,000, also $40 in stamps and about $30 in postoffice cash.
Traveling in automobiles, the men are believed to have made their way to Grand Forks.
The State Bank of Buxton last night received a registered package of money from the Scandinavian American bank of Grand Forks. It was placed in the postoffice safe and six hours later the robbers made their raid.
Gaining an entrance through a rear door, the bandits used a charge of ni-tro-glycerlne sufficient to demolish the safe and blow out the entire front windows of the office. No one in town was aroused by the blast.
Senator Newlands.
That the time is now ripe for the United States to mediate in the European war; that President Wilson is the ideal man for this task, and that the first proposal of terms should come from Germany, since on the continent of Europe that nation at present has the advantage, is the opinion of Senator Francis E. New-lands of Nevada.

Washington, June 26.—'Reports that part of of the Rumanian army had ibeen released from the colors temporarily because of delay in negotiations with Russia over Rumanian participation in the war served to call attention of diplomats here to the recent rumors that Rumania is short of war munitions.
Some diplomats believe the recent Austro-German successes in Galicia have impressed the Rumanian government with the desire to move slowly and that at least until the situation there is fully understood it is unlikely {Rumania will join the Allies.

i Highway Improvements Expected
to Result From Observance
Of Day.
Tomorrow is "Good Roads Day" in North Dakota, from early morning till late at night for a full 24 hours, every man, woman and child in the state who is interested in good roads is expected to boost for them.
Good Roads mean big business, so it is up to the people to push the highway project for all it is worth! (Governor >L- ®. Hanna is one of the first governors in the country to set aside a special day as "Good1 Roads" day, and [the plan has ;met with general favor throughout the state. The governor's proclamation was issued some time ago and ha3 been widely circulated throughout the state.
There is every likelihood that "Good ,Roads" days will be set aside in all the states, and'fih effort will be made to make it as popular with the public as July 4. Automobile associations in all parts of the state, as well as civio improvement leagues, have been especially taken with the idea and are doing all in their power to bring about permanent improvements in all state highways.

SAYS JAPS LAYING : FOUNDATION FOR A SECOND WORLD WAR
Judge L. R. AVilfley.
"The strangling of China by Japan under the circumstances and in the manner in which she is doing it, is the most striking exhibition of international recklessness and audacity the modern world has witnessed," Bays L. R. Wilfley, former judge of the United States court for China and an authority on far eastern problems. "If she carries through her program as planned she will unsettle completely the equilibrium of the far cast, and will lay the foundation for a second world war in the not far distant future."

NOTE OF JULY THIRTIETH
Washington, June 28.—Pressure of a formal and organized character was exerted today on the United States government to secure from England a modification of her embargo on all commercial intercourse between Germany and neutral countries.
Twenty members of the committee appointed by over 1,000 American importers laid before Secretary Lansing, Solicitor Johnson and Robert Rose, of the board of foreign trade advisers, a petition declaring England had "studiously avoided" answering the American noie of March MO, and that in the meantime valuable time had been lost in preparing for future business, and that the general effect had been harmful to the "long established trade cf this country."
The effect of today's conference will not be apparent for several days. Lansing took the facts presented by the importers under consideration, and will communicate with Wilson. Developments are expected as soon as the German notes arrive, which are expected in the next two weeks.
RATE HIS ON TARIFF RAISES END Washington, June 26.—The argu
ment was concluded before the interstate commerce commission in the •western advance rate case after a five-day discussion by attorneys for the interested railroads and shippers touching the reasonableness of the proposed advances in western territory.

GERMANS EXPECT PEACE. London, June 26.—A Petrogrnd
dispatch says: "Papers were found on Austrian and German prisoners to show that troops under von iHindenberg are assured by the commander they would enter Warsaw June 28, and Galicia has been entirely cleared of Russians by June 30. After that peace will be concluded with Ri'ssia.
An Amsterdam dispatch says it is reported the German submarine which left Emden for the North sea, cank Tuesday near the Island of Borkum, after an explosion, the cause of which was unknown. It is believed the.commanding officers and two of the crew were saved. The remainder were drowned.
London, June 20.—The battle of the Dniester, which will decide the fate of the left, wing of the Russian army in Galicia, sways back and forth
along the banks of the river, so far without decisive results.
The Russians have thrown considerable reinforcements into this area, but whether they are planning u serious offensive or are merely fighting stubbornly, preparatory to another retreat is uncertain.
Losses Heavy. Hot.h sides have lost heavily, von
Linsingen's right flank and center having been badly cut up when the Russians threw the Austro-Germans back across the river. The Russians have been fortifying their lines from the river to the Russian frontier and w'tli the Austro-German line's the communication lengthening daily, the task of forcing the Russians eastward becomes more and more formidable.
I'Verlin claims the Teutonic allies are forging ahead, but tlie French and •German announcements .reht.ive ;to the west are so contradictory as to afford only the haziest view of the situation.
Socialists Want Peace. The German socialists again are
I active in the cause of peace and the prominent paper, Verwaerts, has been
! rebuked for publishing their peace ap-i peal by indefinite suspension.
Recruiting in England for the army seems to have been temporarily forgotten amid the high tension of the campaign for munition workers.
Russian Minister Quits. General Soukhomlinoff, the Russian
minister of war, has resigned, according to- a Petrograd dispatch. It is understood General Polivanoff, former assistant minister of war, will succeed him.
Ambassador Gerard called at- the German foreign office and presented the American note regarding the American ship, William P. Frye, sunk by the Prinz Eitel Friedricii in the Pacific. The note finds the German conditions for delay in payment of compensation until the case is passed upon by the prize court to be unconvincing and asks that payment be made now.
Convicted of Treason. Convicted of treason, General Wes-
sels, ex-member of the Union of Defense Council, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $.">,000. Two other members of the legislature were sentenced to imprisonment for four years.
Validity of Income Tax
Is Attacked Washington, June 2(1.— Papers were
liled today in tho lirst attack in the supremo court of the constitutional-ivy of tho federal income tax, which promises to be the most importnat case before the court next term. Counsel for John F. Horace and 10. Dodge, Detroit, filed a brief argument attacking the surtax on the income of individuals. Three main reasons are assigned for claiming the surtax provision of the law invalid. The case was begun to prevent the collector of revenue at Detroit, from collecting the surtax on each of tho Dodges of approximately forty-five thousand dollars for l!M3. The federal district court, of Michigan held tho tax valid.
NEW WOULD SPEED Resta on Chicago Track Averages
97.6 Miles per
Hour.
Chicago, June 2G.—All competitive speedway automobile records for the world from fifty miles to five hundred were shattered in the running of tho first Chicago live hundred mile derby. They not only were beaten by Darlo Resta, who won with a French car, and captured over twenty thousand dollars in prize money, but. by nine other drivers who finished in money.
Previous record by De Palma at Indianapolis reocntly, at the rate of S!).81 miles per hour, was beaten. P.es-ta averaged 97.6 over the same distance and J. Cooper, who finished tenth, bettered the De Palma mark, averaging 90.3 miles. The remarkable feature of the race was freedom from injuries. Tho result establishes a reputation of the now wooden track as the fastest in the United States, if not in the world.
IN JFFLJEJ AFFAIR Believed Now That Mrs. Allen
May Not Have Been
Murdered.
Joliet, 111., June 2ti.—There is a possibility that 'Mts. Edmund Allen, wife of the warden of the penitentiary, whose body was found in the ruins after fire destroyed the bed Sunday might not have been murdered. Coroner Wunderlich, annoyed at the reports that the inquest had not been conducted regularly, tonight said the body had been removed from the prison to the home of William D. Hei.se without Iiis official permission.
Dr. Reinhard, the physician "summoned by Wunderlich to examine the body, was not permitted to see it, the coroner said. Doubt as to the guilt of Campbell, the negro convict charged with the murder, spread rapidly today.

Washington, June 26.—Official news of the severe defeat of the Carranza forces advancing on Mexico City, was quite overshadowed in interest today by announcements from both Carranza and Villa agencies here that a large party of Huerta adherents, former military commanders and legislators were en route to El Paso, presumably with the intention of starting a new military movement.
Carranza and Villa have agreed in their public announcements, probably for the first time since they disagreed The fact that they agreed a new movement is afoot in Mexican affairs is regarded as more than usually significant. For nearly a week Mexico City has been isolated from tne outside world by rail and wire. The American government does not know whether or not fighting affected the safety of the foreigners.

TEST CASE OF BUDGET BILL
Speculation relative to the course to be adopted by the State Tax Commission, in regard to the 1915 budget, was ended with the announcement •bat a test case will be started to compel the State Treasurer to par the commissioners their salary.
The general impression is that the activities of the commission will be greatly restricted during the next two years because of the lack of a sufficient appropriation to carry on their work. The chairman of-the commission when approached in regard tti the subject stated, that the work «f the commission would be carried em in the next two years as it has beea in the past. The appropriation mad* by the legislature will not allow the commission to reach a point; of maximum efficiency, their wOtk will b® carried on in a thorough manner.
The test case will in all probability be started early./in August, as tfc* commissioners will make their llr§t demands on the state auditor (or funds about that tisfte. - » *
