readers as yankee Robinson'', met
with an accident which necessi;ated the
nmputaton of his right hand. Mr.. Ro-,

over the muzzle Of the gun it in some i
manner went off carrying Il heavy load
of buck shot through his hand and wrist,
After the accident Mr.. Robinson walked
four miles to the rest house the home
Of Mrs. ID. Gamacl,e, before anything
was done to stay the bleeding. From
there he was brought to Wiliston, but.
was so weak from loss Of blood that it
was several hours before DR.. Belyea
could ampuiate the hand. Throughout
all Of the affair Mr.. Robinson displayed
u rare amount of of nerve and courage.
He was taken to the rooms fitted up for
hospital purposes ut the home Of Mrs.
Maderson where he is at present very
comfortably situated, and everything is
being done for his welfare. His wound
is getting along nicely and all hope that
he will soon be able to be out again.
Mr.. Robinson isa very interesting man
and has had very eventful career.
When 16 years old he enlisted with All
Ohio regiment and served during the
civil war being badly wounded in one
engagement. After the war, in 1868. he,
came west and has been in Dakota and
Montana ever since. He has farm

The time seems fully ripe for the west
to take firm and decided stand on the
question of national irrigation and some-
thing great may be accomplished at
once. Why not? 1t is as right that
Congress should appropriate money for
storage reservoirs as for river and har-
Dor improvements. The building of
storage reservoirs would obviate the
necessity for much river expenditure
and would help navigation, and the
home building area of the United States
would be vastly increased. And now if
the West makes this demand the East
will back it up, for the benefit would not
be local.
