Ponca Journal: DR.. D. w. Has
son met with very serious accident
Sunday night. He had been up to
George Mattison's place and while
returning, the road being through
the timber, his buggy ran against
stump and was tipped over throw
ing him out and breaking his leg.
1t was critical situation to be in,
as he was entirely alone, there was
no house nearer than a mile, and at
that time of night there was no one
passing from whom to obtain assis-
lance. The doctor however man
aged to right up his buggy and got
into it. He drove along short dis
lance further when the buggy hit
another stump, this time breaking
the doubletrce and throwing him
out second time. He then un-
hitched the horses from the buggy,
got upon one Of them and rode to
the nearest house, Mr.. Dewitts. He
tried to wake the family up, but
found after considerable time that
no one was at home. He then rode
along to Elmer Cornell's house, but
there was nobody at home. Then
he went to the house Of Mrs. Cornell
where he fortunately found the fam.
lily at home, and from whom he re.
ceived all the attention possible. HI
remained there until Monday morn.
ing when be was brought home
The broken leg was set by DR.. O.
Connell. Both bones Of the righ1
leg below the knee were broken
That the doctor is possessed Of won
derful nerve and powers Of endur
ance is fully shown by the expert
ence which he passed through.

Window (Minnesota) Republican:
The temperance address by Hon.
Ansley Gray at the Methodist church
last evening was devoted to gener-
al consideration of the temperance
question, and a vigorous airing of
the present license system whereby
the victims who get drunk are
amenable, while the man who vio-
lates his license goes free. The
speaker cited the case of man near
Eau Claire who went to town and
sold horse for 800 and then went
on spree. The saloon keepers got
eighty dollars of his money and the
city fined him twenty dollars for be-
ing drunk. The fellow thought he
had fallen among thieves. This
evening Mr.. Gray will illustrate the
working of the prohibition law in
Kansas.

The Union County Bank.

The Union County Bank.
The above heading is the name Of
the new bank which commenced
operations in our thriving city on
last Monday. Elk Point has been
without bank since 1876, and the
people and the business men of the
city have felt the need of such an
institution very much. Early last
spring, Melvin Grigsby, Of Sioux
Falls, quietly came into town, look
ed the ground over, and at once
made up his mind that this was q
good opening and concluded to
start a bank. He secured lease of
the lower floor of the COURIER build
ing for term of three years, with
the privilege Of five, and ordered it
fitted up in the best of style. He
then ordered a burglar proof safe
with time lock, and all the necessa-
ry outfit for carrying on the bank
ing business in a first-class manner.
He was SO well satisfied with the
outlook that he concluded to make
this a banking institution that would
stand abreast with any in this part
Of country and therefore associated
with himself in this business, Mr..
T. F. Marshal, prominent business
man of Yankton. and Mr.. f. 7. Day,
a capitalist of Milwaukee, Wis. 1t
was his intention to open UP and
commence about the first of May,
but the failure of Halls Safe Com
pany, Of whom he ordered his safe,
to get the safe completed has delay
ell him until this time. The safe
arrived about a week ago and now
the bank is in running order and
ready for business under the person.
al supervision of Mr.. Grigsby HIM
self. The bank is fitted up in first
class shape, and is supplied with a
splendid fire-proof vault, a burglar
proof safe with time lock, an ele-
CANT counter and is in every way
first-class in appearance. And to
give our readers and those who may
do business with this bank, an idea
of its solidity, we will say that Mr..
Grigsby is an old and honored bust
ness man of Sioux Falls, and by his
honesty and strict attention to bust
ness has accumulated quite capital
and is considered wherever he is
known well heeled. r. F. Marshall,
who is brother in-law of Mr.. Grigs-
by, has been one of Yankton's most
thriving business men for a number
of years and has also ample capital
to embark in this business. Mr.. F.
T. Day, the third member of the
firm, is capitalist of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and is considered worth
over half a million dollars. Thus it
will be seen that our new bank has
ample capital and starts out on a
solid foundation. We predict fol
the new bank successful business
career, and are proud to number il
among the solid institutions of oul
city.

Sioux City Journal. Douglas Fra
yer, express messenger on the Ponca
train, had novel experience on
Saturday when the train was on it's
way to Ponca. He was aitting OPP
posite the side door, and the train
was flying along on the straight
track near Coburn Junction at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour. Doug
las saw gopher running on the
prairie, and, leaning forward to
watch the interesting animal, fell
forward on his head. Fortunately
the dirt in the ditch was soft, and
the head. instead Of being battered
out OF the recognition of fond friends
sunk almost to the shoulders in ths
gumbo. The train was backed uI
and the express messenger recovered
without damage, excepting the mud
that adhered to his person and raj
lnent.

THE CRops.-The prospect Of
bountiful harvest in old Union coun-
ty, never looked better, since. the
first sod was turned over by the
oldest in habitant, than it does now.
The wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn
and potatoes are just simply inn
mense, and everybody who have had
occasion to 60 out through the coun-
try and see the growing crops get
perfectly enthusiastic over it. Re-
ports from other sections Of the ter
ritory are to the same effect. Let
us gently remark right here, that
the crop of Dakota this year will
make no trifiing showing in the
worlds commerce. Dakota is the
grandest country the sun shines on,
and we are proud to be called Da~
kotaian.
