I0tvo them out.
NEssRs Pepln and Thompson Of
|Neche, and Gravelin Of Pembina, who
have been confined In the county Jail
under sentence a. blind.pjggers
were released on Monday. They have
served about forty days Of their nine
.ssty day sentence. The reason given
i for the release u. that IN some Of the
leases their families are or would be
suffering and that work would be al
lover and winter begun, II they served
their full terms. We did not learn
lby what authority the release was
made. Asan net Of humanity the re-
lease IS probablya matter to be ap-
proved; as precedent-it is a very
dubious proceeding.
On Tuesday morning there was a
heavy fog, and the section crew on
the N. p. we're just going out ON the
hand-car to work. They were near
the crossing Of the county road, &C
russ the Pemblna, when suddenly
they saw the morning freight close
upon them. The rails were slippery
with the dew and the hand-car brakes
did not work well. In the excite
ment the boss told the men to jump;
oneof tho men named Arneson; jump
ed 10 front of the car and It caught
him, throwing him down, breaking
his ley above the ankle and dlslocat-
ing his collar-bonc. The man aud the
car were both gotten from tho track
before the. train struck them. DR..
Harris attended the injured man and
reports tho patient as seriously but
not dangerously hurt.
A PECULIAR and serious accident
occurred to Charles Woodhouse on
Monday. He was engaged on a trac-
tion engine on Its way over from Nc
Arthur to Carlisle, and while the en-
CINE was stopping, placed his foot In
the slide that supports the piston rod.
The engineer was ready to start aud
warned him to look out, but Wood
house either not thinking where his
foot was, or neglecting the warning
remained In his position, and as soon
as the engine started his foot was
pushed by the piston-rod guides back
upon projecting half-inch bolt which
was forced into the foot an inch and
. half besides which the foot was jam
med into very narrow space. Sever
al Of the bones were broken and the
foot buddy crushed. DR. Harris was
called and thinks unless unfavorable
SYMPTOMS set In that the patient will
get around all right. Woodhouse was
removed to the Headquarters Hotel
In this city for care aud treatment.
