A SEVERE EXPERIENCE
Illinois Man Lay Three Days on the
Prairie in Ward County From
Injuries.

After lying injured on a North Da-
kota prairie for three days, sixteen
miles away from the nearest town, G.
p. Kerchner of Freeport, ILL.,, a
brother-in-la law of County Auditor j.
w. Fabrick, is in a serious condition
at Kenmare
Mr.. Kerchner was driving horse
and buggy to which was attached
another horse. Dropping one of the
reins he jumped out of the buggy to
pick it up. At that moment the wheel
struck the horse that was attached to
the rig, and the animal kicked Kerch-
ner in the stomach. 20
Mr.. Kerchner was knocked uncon-
sciOus and for three days lay on the
prairie without securing aid. After
coming to his senses, he managed to
walk mile, when he fell exhausted.
After making several other attempts
he finally reached farm house, where
he was taken care of. On recovering a
portion of his strength, he was remov-
ed to Kenmare where his wife Joined
him yesterday.
Mr.. Kerchner has not been able to
eat a morsel since the accident, which
happened several days ago. Doctors
Wiigen and Ball of Kenmare are at
tending him.

Baby Born in Moorhead
Was Abandoned in Fargo
Mother Left the Child in Building on the Northsde
Last Night and Skipped North
This Morning

Quietly sleeping upon a little bed in
one of the wards of the North Dakota
Children's home is a little dark eyed
baby boy about weeks old, who
was discovered by James Holden early
this morning on the floor of an out
building in the rear of his home, 724
Seventh avenue north.
Mr.. Holden at once notified police
headquarters, and Patrolman Mclean
in turn sent for Supt f. ID. Hall of
the home, who Immediately took the
child in charge. awaiting Developments.
The child is evidently of good par
entage, was clothed in delicate long
white baby dress and wrapped in a
white and blue shawl of heavy wool.
was under the influence of some pow
erful drug when found.
TIE police authorities have no pos
tive clue to the person who aban-
doned the little one. Ii is learned
that some weeks ago a lady applied
for admission to the barrow hospital
in Moorhead, where, the matron says,
two weeks ago boy baby was born.
Yesterday afternoon the matron dress
ed the little one in clothing similar to
that worn by the child found this
morning.
She is positive that she can identify
both child and clothing.
The mother, the matron says, was
woman of about 20. tall and good
looking. She said very little about
herself
She received money from person
in Pittsburg, N. D., and upon leaving
the hospital yesterday directed that
her mail be sent to Ray, N. ID.
She registered at the Webster hotel

last evening. About IL o. M. with
the child, she boarded car at Broad
way and n. r. avenue and went north,
returning to the Webster about IL, but
minus the child. The same woman, il
is thought, left for Grand Forks at
o'clock this morning
ID. A. Henderson, conductor Of the
Fargo q Moorhead Street Railway Co,
states that at about IL O'clock last
night well-dressed lady of about 2S
years, boarded his car at Broadway
and n. p. avenue with bundle in
her arms which he supposed was
sick baby. She made inquiries about
street names and the running time of
the cars, also the nearest point to
the Catholic orphanage. She left the
car about a block from the institution
and this was the last seen of her Mr..
Henderson says he took no particular
notice witch way she went after leav-
ing the ear, but from the fact that the
child was found across the street from
the convent. it is plain it was the in
tention of the mother to give it into
the care of that institution.
The mother was well dressed and
bore every outward appearance of re-
finement.
The name given at the hospital and
that under which the woman regis
tered at the Webster was Mrs j. w.
Bendeke RAY, N. ID. This may have
been assumed.
The little stranger is the ninth baby
in the baby ward and one of the pref.
test among them. Superintendent
Hall states that he has at present
about 100 applications on his desk for
the adoption of little ones. These APP
plications are from ell-to-do people
from all over this section of North
Dakota.

viii Not Open Evenings.

The clerks in all the dry goods
stores feel good over the fact that
these stores intend to remain closed
during evenings until a couple of
weeks before Christmas. The gents
furnishing houses, however, will keep
their lights burning until 8 o'clock, al
though there is a strong feeling among
the leading stores that 6 o'clock is
about the proper time to close, but on
account of some who think they are
big losers on account of closing at
that hour, they are forced to keep open
to protect themselves.

N. d. crop.

Orange Judd Farmer: The bumper
wheat crop of the northwestern states
is now going to wholly come up to
the expectations formed of it a few
weeks ago. The weather during the
ripening season was hot, so hot that
the grain is more or less shrunken It
ripened too quickly. 1t is a good
crop, but not a bumper crop. That it
was estimated too high by some of
the experts is now pretty certain The
difference will mean lowering of the
Dakota yield by several million bush.

have something every season.

Fargo has evidently attained the
reputation of city of large size and
a center of population for the colored
race in this part of the country Al
least this is the idea possessed by
some people in the sunny south as is
evidenced by letter which Mayor
Johnson today received from M. j.

AS there are no colored congrega-

and other places on central Maui. At
the Hamakuapoko government school

the teachers, Miss Kalino even being
afflicted with the sickness. At the
MakaWao school the attendance has
fallen off about so per cent. and at Pafa
school the number of absentees is dali
ly increasing. However. SO far moth
ing serious has resulted from the cpl
demic.
On Saturday last at Waikiki little
Willie Gonsalves, the Agar old son of
Frank Gonsalves, the shoemaker and
saddler, died suddenly from injuries re-
sulting from a fall off a picket fence.
The child survived the accident but
