Drunken Boy Caused $25,000 Mavelock Fire Mandan, April 24.—"I've got her a' going fine now!" is the statement al leged to have been made by Barney Adams, a young man of Havelock, af ter setting fire to the Charles Knox pool hall at 9 o'clock Saturday night. The resultant blaze caused a property loss of $25,000. Young Adams Is alleged to have been badly intoxicated, according to the witnesses who were called upon to testify at the hearing which was held this afternoon at Mott. He went to the rear of the Knox pool hall where a small shed housed gasoline lighting apparatus. He is claimed to have poured gasoline over the wall of the pool hall then touched a match to it. Staggering to the front of the hall witness assert that he made the statement about "having 'er going." The fire completely destroyed the pool hall together with all contents, and spread to the Peterson General merchandise store, and that building was also completely destroyed. The pool hall loss to building and equip ment is estimated to be about $5,000, while the loss to the Peterson busi ness on stock and building is at least $20,000.

The entire citizenship of Havelock turned out to fight the flames and a special train was run from New Eng land carrying fire fighting apparatus and scores of volunteers. This train arrived at Havelock about 9:45, and the work of the New England people saved the town. Deputy Sheriff Wilhelm of Hetting er county was called to Havelock and took young Adams in charge. He was taken to Mott Sunday morning and the hearing was held this afternoon. The alleged incendiary is the son of W. B. Adams, one of the early settlers of Hettinger county, and reputed to be one of the wealthiest farmers in the southwestern section of the state. Young Adams and others were enjoying a pre-Easter celebration in the Charles Knox pool hall at Have lock Saturday night, in which it is claimed considerable liquor was used. Adams was admittedly in the rear room of the building, and was claimed by witnesses at the prelimin ary hearing late Monday afternoon to have come out to the front and said "I've got 'er going fine." They allege that he poured gasoline on the rear wall of the pool hall and touched a match to it. Adams in his defense insists that he merely discovered the fire. Barney Adams is the son of W. E. Adams, and the latter, an Englishman, with his four brothers also residents of the Haverlock district, have been decidedly pro-Ally in their opinions on the war. As by far the greater ma jority of the residents of the district are German or pro-German in senti ment, there has been bad blood for many months. This is claimed to have been mani fested late Monday afternoon when the preliminary hearing was held at Mott. Ten witnesses were examined all of whom, it is asserted, showed but little regard for the defendant. Adams was released under $1,000 bail. Because of the prominence of the family intense interest has been arous ed. Practically the entire population of Havelock was at Mott today to at tend the hearing.

Minneapolis Firm Gets Jamestown's New Depot Jamestown, April 24.—Agent Hein of the Northern Pacific has learned that the contract for the construction of the new Northern Pacinc depot at Jamestown has been let to the E. G. Evensta Construction company of Min neapolis. The above company secur ed the contract for the depot building, the viaduct and retaining wall. The matter of sewer construction will be settled later, on the outcome of nego tiations now under way with the city council for the Northern Pacific com pany to join with the city in the mat ter of proposed sewer running south east from Second avenue. A representative of the Evensta company is expected in Jamestown to day to look over the ground and make ariangements for beginning work. The amount of the successful bid der's bid was not given out, but it is known to be in the neighborhood of $125,000 for the work above outlined. The Evensta company has done a great dail of the heavy construction work of the Northern Pacific in re cent years, having built a number of roundhouses and buildings of a simi lar nature in the twin cities and other points. The company was the lowest bidder by a considerable amount in competition with 42 other bidders. It is possible much of the work will be sublet, such as teaming, hauling, ex cavating, etc., although nothing yet is definitely known on this point. Red River Is On Second Big Rampage This Year Fargo, April 26.—Flood waters of the Red river are again menacing homes in the low areas and thousands of acres of land are flooded, the result of the recent rains. Island park is half submerged and Fourth street south, one of the pretty thoroughfares of the city, is flooded for the second time this season. It is not believed that the flood will reach the stage it did earlier in the season, which was 29.9, nor is it be lieved that the waters will reach 26 feet, the flood stage. Street car traffic on Fourth street south, which was halted early in April by the city au thorities, who maintained that the condition of the ground beneath the pavement was not in condition for heavy travel because of the big flood, is still tied up. For several days prior to the second flood light travel was permitted. Water has crept into the basement of the auditorium flooding the fur .naces. The two new dwellings south east of Fargo college will be seriously damaged as the result of the second rise of the waters. Fargo college sta dium is once more a great basin. The rise of the waters for the sec ond time this season was noticed at Wahpeton the latter part of last week. Last Friday the river rose three feet in 24 hours and has continued to broaden out since that time. The United States weather bureau observer's report at noon yesterday gave the stage at 24.1, compared with 23.7 at the corresponding hour Mon day, or an advance of six inches in 24 hours, which is considered alarming in face of the breadth of the stream. LULL ON BATTLE LINES Paris, April 24.—Although there is at present a comparative lull in the Verdun battle, with the infantry on both sides remaining comparatively in active, apparently there soon is to be a resumption of heavy fighting as a heavy bombardment has started in the Dead Man's Hill region. Berlin, April 24. "The Nord Dousohe Allegmeine Beitung" says: Over Seas News agency reports, "that recently rumors have been spread about peace offers from our enemies." It was said that the Russians had taken the measures in order to open negoti ations. German authorities will ignore completely any such proposals. All these rumors are inventions." London, April 24. The Italian steamer Joseph Agost Tcherzec has been sunk by a German submarine. The crew was landed. London, April 25.—An attack on the German positions on the Belgian coast by British warships is reported In an Exchange Telegraph Co. dispatch from Amsterdam.

The German warships retreated in 20 minutes. In the engagement two British light cruisers and one destroyer were hit, but none of them sunk. The following official announcement was made: "At about 4:30 o'clock this morning the German cruiser squadron accompanied by light cruis ers and destroyers, appeared off Low estoft. The local naval forces engag ed it and in about 20 minutes it re turned to Germany, chased by our light cruisers and destroyers. On shore two men, one woman and a child were killed. "The material damage seems to have been insignificant so far as is knpwn at the present time. Two British light cruisers and a destroyer were hit, but none were sunk." Lowestoft Is on the North Sea coast, about 100 miles to the northeast of Lonodon. It is almost opposite The Hague. On previous occasions attacks have been made on the English coast by German warships. The most import ant was the raid made Dec. 16, 1914. The towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool, about 150 miles north of Lowestoft were bombarded and about 130 were killed. Aided by the fog the German vessels escaped. On Jan. 24, 1915, a further attempt of the kind was made, but the Ger man squadron was met off the Dog ger bank by a British cruiser squad ron under Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty. On being sighted, the Ger mans made for home at very high speed. Their rear ship, the Bluecher, was sunk and two other cruisers were set on fire and damaged severely.

Indications that powerful influences in German^ politics are opposed to any action by the Berlin government which might lead to the severance of diplomatic relations with the United'States are understood to be contained in confi dential dispatches received today by the state department from Ambassa dor Gerard. Socialist and labor lead ers are represented as being in main part adverse to any such move. Other dispatches from Mr. Gerard were said to contain strong indications that the Berlin government would make some concession to the United States in reply to the note demanding the immediate abandonment of present methods of submarine warfare. It still is uncertain whether the conces sions will be sufficinetly broad in their scope to meet the American demands. Officials allowed it to become known that Gerard's dispatches indicated that Germany would go to any great length to preserve friendly relations with the United States. Ambassador Gerard is understood to have gained his views during conversation with Berlin officials, including Foreign Minister Jagow. His dispatches are said to emphasize the difficulties by which the German government is confronted in endeavor ing to find away to meet the demands of the United States without arousing the element which insists upon a re lentless submarine warfare against the shipping of the entente allies. The state department tonight was awaiting a dispatch from Gerard re porting the results of a lengthy con ference today with Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg, the imperial German chan cellor.

Obregon, it is learned in Mexican official circles, will develop his plans for policing the northern Mexican country in detail with the hope that they will prove ac ceptable to Scott. Should the plans be deemed adequate, by Scott, the Carranza government will again renew-its request of the American government that its troops be withdrawn from Mexico. Anders Garcia, Mexican consul, is expected to obtain some official infor mation as to what time Obregon will reach Juarez. Garcia thought the con ference might last several days as it is understood here that the details of a proposed protocol relative to dis patching of armed forces of either government into each other's territory to run down marauding outlaws, would be carefully discussed as well as the plans of Mexican government for po licing the border to insure the safety of Americans and to prevent a repeti tion of the Columbus massacre. That several weeks at least will elapse before the troops are with drawn from Mexico appears evident from the amount of food and forage being sent south from the Columbus base. J. A. Lester, who will have charge of the building of the new postoffice, arrived in the city Tuesday and w.U begin operations at once. W. H.
