cap with a piece Of iron, exploding
it. The cap penetrated the right
eye and has gone deeper, but how
far cannot be ascertained as the
boy is too weak just yet to permit
of an operation. d.. Moeller was
summoned and dressed the wound.
The doctor is of the opinion that
the eyesight is lost, but hopes to
save the eye if inflammation does
not set in, The little fellow is
suffering much pain, but holding
up we'll under the circumstances.

The Devils Lake base ball club
went to Cando yesterday to do
some slaughtering = but were
slaughtered-9 to g..
1t has been suggested that the
fats and the leans get up match
game of base ball for the benefit
Of the Go. d., fund. The fats will
be dressed in the full war regalia
of the blood thirsty Sioux braves,
while the Sims will adopt the
costume Of the giddy ballet dancer.
1t will be a great game-if it can
be pulled off. It will be worth the
price Of admission to see Fred
Mann in a chorus girl attire, and
Charley Henley as Mudjekewees,
the man afraid of the ball. Since
the above was in type, a communi-
cation has been received, giving
fuller details, which will be found
in another column.

On Wednesday, about 2 o'clock,
as A. Rackner was aboutto unload
some hay at Russell d Schultz
barn, he allowed the binding pole
to suddenly break loose, striking
his son Tommy, who was at the
back Of the wagon, across the
neck. The boy was stunned by
the blow and it was thought at
first his neck was broken. DR..
Jones was summoned and cared
for the little fellow, who will be all
right after the soreness is over. It
vas a narrow escape from a fatal
accident, for had the pole struck
the boy with full force his neck
would certainly have been broken.
The boy had a box of eggs in his
arms at the time of the accident,
and several dozen we're unshelled,
which seemed to trouble the father
most.
A. j. Anderson, of this city, who
has been boring wells around De-
Groat and other places during the
summer, met with an untimely
death Thursday while engaged in
boring a well about thirty miles
northeast of this city. It appears
that the drill had got down some
thirty feet when a rock was en-
countered. Mr.. Anderson set "a
dynamite fuse and after the first
explosion went down into the hole
when a second explosion occurred
which suffocated Mr.. Anderson.
Undertaken Nimmo was sent for
and brought in the remains last
night. Mr.. Anderson came to this
city about a year ago with a mod
ern we'll borer and was beginning
to build up a good business in his
line.
