action before Judge Fisk to have the
bills allowed at their face. The de-
cision covers a number Of disputed
points but the most important point
determined by the court is that the
board of health is responsible for all
matters concerning the public health.
Tt has full power and authority to EN-
ploy such persons as it sees tit and to
fix the compensation therefor " The
board of county commissioners have
no judicial duties to perform with re-
spect to health matters. In the pay
ment of the bills incurred by the board
of health, the board Of county commits
sioners acts in a merely ministerial
capacity. The only duty this board
has to perform is to see that the &C
counts as audited and allowed by the
board of health are paid, and this be-
ing so, where the board of health aud
it's and allows an account at a specific
sum. the board of county commission
ers have no authority to make any re-
duction therein.

The Grand Forks Herald's holiday
number contains some interesting
matter of a reminiscent variety, none
more interesting than a number OF
sketches of former North Dakotans
who have left the state and attained
distinction in other fields. Foremost
in the list is presented the name OF
President Theodore Roosevelt, whose
career in North Dakota is a source of
pride to every loyal North Dakotan.
The Herald includes a number of 9TH
srs in its list, among them ex-Gover-
nors Burke and Fancher, Capt. Nc
Cormiek, John Miller, W. D. Boyce,
the millionaire Chicago publisher,
General Harrison Allen, Judge Ben

Guiding its "reminiscences the Herald
says: North Dakota has sent many
of her good men to the Twin cities, and
they have held UP their end with the
best OF them. There is Ex-Governor

President Hackney of the Hackney
Boynton Land company says the COM
pany has sold 100000 acres of its
North Dakota lands in six months and
there Is the best outlook for the fur
Their sale of land in the history of the
northwest. The testimony that
thousands of settlers are coming to
this section another year is brought by
many we'll known real estate men.
W. H. Brown of Devils Lake, who
bought 63,000 acres of land in Morton
county not long ago, says the western
movement Of settlers is not appreciated
by the people of this section, AMI the
future movement will be greater than
the past. Men from North Dakota
who have been in Iowa stirring up en-
thusiasm, report that hundreds o.
farmers are selling out their lands and
investing the proceeds in the cheaper
lands of North Dakota, believing that
there is an opportunity in so doing
for making small fortunes. in The
past SUMMING half a dozen land com .
panies have been organized in the
western part of North Dakota, and all
of them report good sales. All this
is an Indication that North Dakota is
steadily on the up grade, and that the
dawn of a new era of prosperity and
progress IS at hanti.

Engineer Woolworth Killed in a Col
lision With Light Engine at
Urbana Sunday.
Several Brakenen Meet with Acct
dents of a Painful Nature Along
the Line.

The past week has been a bad one
for employees of the Northern Pacific
road. There have been several acct
dents of a minor nature, the most ser
ious OF them taking place at a station
near Valley City Sunday morning
freight train No. SO, Gerry Wolworth
engineer, ran into a light engine ait
Urbana. Engineer Benedict of the
light engine was bringing his engine
to jamestown for repairs, and stopped
on the main line, it is claimed, with
out putting out signals.
Engineer Wolworth shouted to Fire
man O. L. Brandon and Brakeman
Bruce Glass they would strike a light
engine and>tto jump. Glass got up on
the coal in the tender and laid down,
the fireman staid by the engine and
Wolworth was caught and n leg from
above the knee down ground to a pulp.
He wa carried probably a quarter OF
a mile before his body dropped from
the cab and when found was several
car lengths behind the caboose. He
was barely conscious and died soon
after being found and put in the ca
bose. Brakeman Glass and Conduc-
tor VIM. Lawrence hunted some time
before they found him, the train hay
ing run over twice its length after the
collision. The deceased leaves a wife.
Brakeman Charles B. McAllister re-
ceived a severe scalp wound at McKen-
zie when going east with Conductor
Clock. He was leaning out of the
window watching for signals from the
real of the train, on a curve, and was
just drawing his head and shoulders
back when the mail crane struck his
head, cutting a cash to the bone from
the top of his head to the forehead.
The blow whirled him about but the
engineer caught him and prevented his
falling out of the cab window. Had
he been caught a little further out of
the window it is probable he never
would know what struck him.
Head Brakeman H. Donovan for
Conductor Ed Hayes on the northern
branch, got one foot badly. torn and
mangled Saturday night. The engine
was being taken to the round house at
Jamestown at the conclusion Of the
run when the brakeman told the en-
gineer he would ride down on the
pilot. 1t was cold and frosty, every
thing covered with frost Or ice from
the escaping steam, and his foot
slipped. He chung on desperately and
called for the engineer to stop but be-
fore the engine could be brought to a
standstill his foot. had been pushed
along the rail and much of the flesh
torn and ground off in a frightful
manner. He was taken to Brainerd
that night for treatment. The skin
and muscles on one side of the foot
were torn off from heel to toe, leaving
the bones exposed. Recovery will be
a long and tedious process. VIC,
