BADLY BURNED.

Jack Harris, who has charge of the
G.. N. gasoline engine at the dam
three miles south of this place and
which pumps the water for the G.. N.
tank in this city, had an experience
last Saturday morning which came
near costing his life. In some unac-
countable manner he fell across the
exhaust pipe of the engine and was
badly burned on his left side, and the
flesh of the two first fingers of his right
hand was burned to a crisp. It is Mr..
Harris custom to go down to the dam
early In the morning to start the n
CINE and look after the fire, after which
he would lie down on a bench in the
engine room and sleep for an hour or
so. Just how he came to meet with
the horrible accident is not known,
but it is presumed that he became
asphyxiated with gas from the stove
and engine and while under the in
fuence of the gases stumbled and fell
across the exhaust pipe of the engine,
from which he received his injuries.
Just how long he was in this posi-
ton is not known, but judging from
his burns he must have been there for
some time before being discovered by
the little johnson boy, who was on his
way to the pond to skate. Mr.. Harris
was Immediately brought to town and
is now at the home of e. W. johnson,
with whom he has made his home fol
a number of years, and all that medi
cal aid and care can do is being done
to relieve him of his sufferings. Jus
what the result will be is hard to tel
at this time as the burn under tn
arm is a bad one.

anime the systems of dockags, grad

North Dakota farmer; the feasibility
of the state leasing, building or buy
ing terminal grain elevators at Min
neapolis, Duluth or Superior; the pro-
bable cost of running terminal eleva-
tors, including taxes, labor and in
surance.
The board has received a number OF
alleged determinations, in docking
and weighing, which is now receiving
their attention.
That they may fully serve the
interests of the grain producers Of
North Dakota, the board would like
that every newspaper in the state pub

ing a just grievance can be reached
If anyone thus interested will make

ment, car number, or what railroad
from what station shipped to what firm
date of weighing, weight and dockage
and send it to M. o. Hall, Mohall, N
D., secretary Of the board, the com.
