Gets Ills leg BrOken.

While driving home with a large
load Of lumber Thursday Of last
week Dave Yates had an accident
on the hill near the Slayton farm,
about Eve miles east Of town, in
which he sustained broken leg.
The hill was quite icy and in try
ing to hold the load back the neck
yoke broke. Mr.. Yates then
swung the horses into the bank and
jumped from the load but slipped
on the ice and the rear wagon
wheel run over his leg breaking one
bone above the ankle. The wagon
then tore loose from the team and
went over the grade, landing bot
tom side up several yards down the
hillside The injured man lay III
the road for Is or 40 minutes be-
fore discovered and was then taken
to the slayton home where DR..
Briley later reduced the fracture.
The piece Of road where the acct
dent happened is decidedly dang
erous one in bad weather and has
been the cause Of several accidents,
although until this time no one has
been injured there "A slight
would run the road at the
foot Of the hill and remove all
danger besides making a much
easier road to travel. Residents Of
that vicinity should petition the
county board for the necessary
change before someone is killed or
for life on that hill.

Quite a lively time was had
around town Monday night and
after things had quieted down
somewhat sneak thieves entered
the Elite and Brewery saloons and
looted the safe Of the former and
the cash register Of the latter, Sc
curing about sos from the hrst
pace and $o.75 from the last.
The robbers must have been &C.
lquainted with both places as the
safe at the Elite was standing open
the next morning. AT Peterson's
entrance was effected by cutting a
piece Of tin from the back door.
Just who did the work is moi
known as the robbers left no trace.
This is the third saloon robbing to
occur here this year and it looks as
if someone is making business d
it.

OF Interest to East Siders
TRI STATE PHONE COMPANY
LOSES IT'S FRANCHISE FIGHT
Very Heated Times at Council Meeting Last Night Where
Exchanges Of Words Livened Things Up-"Roasts
-! Handed Back and Forth Freely.

The Legislative body of the city met
last night, with a full council-that is
all the members were present. :.
The auditing committee wormed its
way through a large grist OF bills:
while the audience waited with bate.i
breath for the opening of: the great
battle on the Tri-State telephone frau
chise. The committee arose-but kept
their seats, and then the fireworhs
began.
Alderman Bydahl dug down into his
pocket for typewriter motion, AMI
handed it to the recorder. 1t provided
that the regular order of business be
suspended and the telephone franchise
be made the special order of the even
ing. The roll call was ordered, and
the vote was unanimous.
Recorder German began the reading
of the ordinances and with the eX-
ception of halts for new supply Of
wind, there was no break until the
ordeal was passed.
Alderman Craig called for the read
ing of the petitions filed on the mat
ter, and the one signed by the bust
ness people was read. Attorney Bron-
son presented the counter petition
which was decidedly democratic as it
included many ages and sexes.
President Barlow asked for express
sions from the public which was large
ly present, and during the silence
which followed the recorder took a
drink-of water.
After a painful waiting very much
like that at Quaker meeting Editor
Stoughton of the Valley View arose
vr,hSn ], La
the voice of boy hungry for pie.
Alderman Sherlock made speech
explaining his stand on the question
and calling attention to several bad
features Of the proposed ordinance.
with his forceful manner and eloquent
Phillips-after he was dead-he sat
down and moisteped his lips.
Mayor Duis of Grand Forks was
present in behalf of the Tri-State peo-
DE, and advocated the granting of the
ordinance The mayor had changed
his clothes however since the recent
local disturbance and his rabbits foot
was in the pocket of those he had left
at home. Neither was he able to get
his left hand on the pocket buckeye,
and the hoodoo was unbroken. He tried
to- show how two telephones costing
$3.50 per month were cheaper than
one at $3.50. He failed.
Mr.. Collins became involved in a
o0ilOquy with Sherlock over the fact
whether 1O1 was more than 100 or
not. Collins couldn't see that 1t was.
