The Woodmen of Twin Brooks
are advertising a masquerade
ball to be held at their hall
Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 80,
the tickets for which will be
81 90. The mem bers of the
camp are making preparations
for a grand good time and invite
all their friends to share it with
them.
An insane man was brought in
/ by Mr. Casper of Revillo last
week, He was found few miles
from town and could give no
lucid account Of whom he was.
While he was under the care of
the sheriff the father of the un-
fortunate man applied to the
authorities for him. 1t appears
that the family We're moving
from Wisconsin to the country
west of here, and when near Mil
bank the unfortunate man es-
capped from his guardians and
/ could not be located. His people
took him to their new home in
the west.
! Friday we received a call from
Meesrs. Geo. W. Harrison OF
/ Bismark, \. D., and }. l.. Cham
I berlain of Lisbon, the former
gentleman being commissioner of
lnsu urance III North Dakota, and
the latter connected with Mr..
Harrison in the publication of
the Lisbon Free Press. The
gentlemen We're on visit to
examine the affairs OF the Evan
gelical Mutual Insurance Com
panv, which is doing a large and
rapidly increasing business IN
North Dakota. This eNamina-
ton was made, and Mr.. Harrison
stated to us before leaving that
he found the Evangelical com
/ pany in excellent shape, its busi-
ness being carried on with good
business Judgment and absolute
integrity. Mr. Harrison stated
that he believed that the Evan
gelical was more nearly a per
fectly mutual company than any
other he had ever known. The
gentlemen report business as
good i, the North state, and
general pl osper.ity aboundins.
Quite a serious accident oc-
Cured at the Wagner Touring
mill Saturday evening about )
0 clock. Harold Thomas, the
little fiye-year old son Of +.
Thomas, the engineer at the mill,
had been playing during the
afternoon in a sand pile in the
vicinity of the mill, with a com
panion about his on age, the
son of w. E. Vanderyoort. The
boys finally came to an exposed
shaft extending between the
tower and the engine room The
| Vandervoort boy put his arm
around the shaft without any
serious result, but the Thomas
lad in attempting to do SO had
his clothing in some way caught
on the shaft, and he was ms stantly
Whirled around and around.
The shaft was only about eleven
inches from the building, and
that the little fellow was not in
stantly killed is providence be
yond explanation. Fortunately
the extra weight on the shaft
threw the belt from the pully or
the boy would undoubtedly have
been killed before the machinery
could have been stopped. The ac-
cident was first noticed by W. NJ :.
Thomas who happened to be at
mill, and he immediatel, rushed
to the engine house and had the
machinery stopped and sum-
moned help. Almost every
particle Of clothing had been
torn from the little fellow S body,
only one strip Of underwear
clinging to his limb, while the
other end Of the cloth was wound
around the shaft, and he was
bleeding and bruised in a seem
ingly very serious way. DR..
Fanset was telephoned for and
upon careful examination dis
covered that the only boae
broken was in the arm, but the
body and limbs were quite badly
