Ben Il. Hervey, the real estate man,,
has just returned from n trip to his
large ranch near Downs, Wash, and
to Spokesman-R Review correspon-
dent tells thrilling account of the
wild runaway of 80 horses with a
combined harvester and thresher near
Ritzvillc, Wash, last Tuesday, in
which 12 horses were killed, nine
crippled and the harvester-thresher
was broken into splinters. Altogether
Mr.. Harvey says that the damage
from the runaway amounted to about
$4,000.
"The accident happened ON the II.
Dorman ranch, nine miles north of
Ritzville," said Mr.. Harvey. 81 did
not learn what frightened the horses
but it seems the driver was out of his
seat down on the ground inspecting
some of the machinery and had re-
leased the reins.
According to the report the 80
horses almost at one impulse started
to run at terrific speed, and the
immense harvester was dragged
through the wheat, scattering an ava
lanche of straw and heads into the
air until the sickle broke. Most of
the country is level prairie, but some
rough ground was struck by the
frightened drove of horses and the
leaders became entangled and fell.
"This only increased the fright of
the horses in the rear, which plunged
over the PROSTATE and struggling
beasts. breaking their limbs ard lac
Grating their bodies terribly. Others
stumbled over the animals that were
down and fell upon them, making a
heap of wrltlEng, struggling animals,
some on their backs kicking wildly
others hopelessly entangled in their
harness and vainly trying to rise.

increased the frenzy of the rear
horses, which leaped and plunged
over them and with almost miracu-
Ious strength dragged the huge har-
vester with its tons of weight right
over the writhing heap, crushing sew
eraI of the animals to death and
wounding others.
FINALLY the greater part of the
animals that were not down broke
loose from the harvester and scatter

remained hitched were unable to draw

There is nothing so pleasant as that

world feeling when you sit down to
your breakfast. There is nothing so
conducive to good work and good re-

better workman, better citizen than
the man or woman who is handicap
ped by some disability, however slight.
A slight disorder of the stomach will
derange your body, your thoughts and

FIREMAN INJURED.
Water Tank Collapsed and Fearing a
Wreck He Jumped.

Early yesterday morning Fireman A.
Swanson of Crookston was seriously
injured by jumping from his engine at
the water tank about two miles this
side of Bagley. He sustained two
fractured ribs and his left lung is
badly punctured. He was brought to
Crookston on the Duluth train this
morning and taken to st. Vinvent's
hospital. where he is now resting as
we'll as could be expected and it is
confidently predicted that his recovery
is only a question of short time.
Swanson was the fireman on a train
bringing load of logs to the city for
the Crookston Lumber company and
when the train was nearly at the point
where the water tank stood he noticed
the tank had collapsed and had fallen
directly across the track The train
could not be stopped in the distance
available and Swanson leaped from
the engine at once. the engineer stick
ing to his post. The latter was not in

badly demolished by the fall that the
debris was hurled from the track by
the engine. not wheel leaving the

plant is the most intelligent, faithful

AYERS with impressive solemnity that
the monster beasts have language,
as we'll as a degree of human under
standing, which he is able to translate
and thereby get into closer sympathy
with his charges. The wonderful things
they do at his suggestion give a color
of probability to this claim. It is the

ANOTHER FIRE
$4,000 Blaze at Thompson Last
Night Charged to In
cendaries.

The village of Thompson was visited
by blaze of unknown origin about
O'Clock this morning, when a large
building, formerly occupied as liv-
cry barn and owned by Turcotte &
Revoiri. was totally destroyed, togeth-
er with two horses, two cows, an auto
mobile, five or six sets of harness, a
half dozen cutters and robes and other
material stored therein to the value
of from $1,100 to $1,000. The value of
the stable was perhaps 81 800, making
the total loss about $4,000.
The horses and cows which burned
belonged to Kit Carson, who had rent
ed the barn. while the automobile was
the property of Fred Payett and was
worth probably $500, it being second
hand machine.
There is no clue to the origin of the
fire and there was some talk at
Thompson today of incendiarism, but
little to confirm the report. Tramps
NAV be responsible.
