A Frightful Experience.

While on trip thru North Dakota
about week age Barney Leary had
an experience that came near costing
him his life. He got off at a station
intending to go up to the engine to
speak to engineer Palm, but the train.
started out before he got there. AS
one of the passenger coaches passed
him he caught hold of the railing and
swung himself up, but found the vesti-
bule door closed and the trap down so
he could not open it, By that time
the train had gained such momentum
that he did not dare to let go. He
hung on for seven or eight miles, but
as the weather was quite chilly his
hands became so numb that he finally
lost his hold and fell to the ground
while the train was going at full
speed. He struck the ground with
such force as to render him uncon-
scious for some time When he
regained consciousness he managed to
drag himself to the next station, where
he was cared for. Fortunately no
bones were broken, but he was so bad
ly bruised that he is still suffering
severly from the effects of his fall.

Bank Sustains No Loss.

While no clue has been found to the
perpetrators of the bank robbery at
Kandiyohi station, who certainly were
experts both with reference to the
work of gaining access to the banks
money and to their ability to make
good their escape with the loot, the
bank has not sustained any loss.
S ttlement has already been made
with the American Bonding Company
OF Baltimore, of " aryland, for the in
surance in the sum OF $2,099.0O which
fully covers loss of money and damage
to the safe. The quarterly statement
published elsewhere of this bank shows
it's condition otherwise to be very good
and in prosperous condition.
