YOUNG LADY'S
NECK BROKEN
MISS GERTRUDE A. MITCHELL
KILLED NEAR CAKES.
Her Skirts Were Blown Into the Gear
ing Of an Artesian Well Rig and Her
Body Thrown Backward, Breaking
Her Neck.

Cakes, ~ D., March 15.--Miss Ger
trude A. Mitchell was Instantly killed
by her clothes catching in the gearing
of an artesian well rig, located on the
Nels A. Nelson farm, eight and a half
miles east of Cakes. Death was due
to fracture dislocation of the atlo-
avoid joint of the spinal column.
Gertrude had almost completed six
months term of school in the Werner
district In what is known as the Back
lin school, and was stopping at the
Nelson home. A rig of the North Da-
kota Artesian Well Co. had been drill
ing on the place for some time and had
almost reached water. After the even
ings work was finished Miss Nelson,
a girl about the age of Gertrude, asked
the latter to accompany her to the
well house to see how the drillers were
getting along. c. P. Jeffries was in
charge of the rig at the time, the bal
ance of the crew having retired to their
tent. The girls had been in the shed
only q few minutes when the strong
wind blew the door open and Ger
trude's skirts We're carried by the

machine on and off motion. She was
thrown forward very violently and ev-
identity the head went in the opposite
direction, causing the fracture as above
stated. Mr.. Jeffries did not witness
the accident as he had turned to close
the door. He went Immediately to her
relief as she lay PROSTATE on the floor,
her clothing still caught in the machin-
cry, which had been thrown out of
gear. She was not bruised or mangled
in any way.
About an hour afterwards word was
sent to the city for q doctor, and ner
father set out with DR. f. w Maerck-
lein, reaching the scene of the accident
about 1890. The delay in calling
medical aid was occasioned by the fact
that the nearest telephone to the Nell
son home was about two miles away
Life was extinct before the arrival of
the physician, although 1t Is reported
that there was quivering Of the mus

the Cumberland street clubhouse, with
good attendance of members. Talks
about the progress of automobiling in

of Defunct Company.

New York, March 15.--In view of
the recent failure of the Hall Signal
Co.'S plan of reorganization by an ex-
pansion of capitalization, the directors
of that corporation have decided to
ask the authority of the stockholders

borrowings by mortgaging or pledg-
ing, by any form of obligation, all of
the authorized and unissued treasury

MERGER COMPLETELY.
Long Talked of Consolidation of
Brooklyn Banks Effected.

New York, March 15.-The prelimi-
nary arrangements for the lonk talked
of consolidation of the Union bank of
Brooklyn and the Mechanics and Trad
ers bank of Manhattan, have been COM
pleted and the stockholders met to-
day and voted the consolidation. The
actual consolidation, it is expected,
will occur on or about March 23. The
consolidation is based upon the privi-
lege of exchanging shares of stock of
the Union bank for stock of the Me-
chanics and Traders bank at the rate
of 40 shares Of the latter for 100
shares of the former. The value of
the Union bank is put down at $277.50
per share, and that of the Mechanics
and Traders bank at $175 per shares.
In other words, a stockholder of the
Union bank may receive one and three
tenths shares Of the stock of the Man
haitian institution. The dividends of
the two banks has been the same 10

Will REDUCE
WHEAT AREA
HIGH PRICE or BARLEY is THE
CAUSE.
This Combined With the unsatisfae.
tory Results on Wheat on Old Land
Will Make the change-Mors ourum
Wheat for 1907.

Chicago, March 15.--One OF the bar
ley specialists claims that it Is prac-
teal certainty that the spring wheat
area will be greatly reduced I'm the
northwest this year because OF the
much higher relative price for barley,
leaving out the question of larger
yields per acre for the latter.
He figures that the lowest grade
mailing barley. now selling at 70 cents
per bushel in Chicago and weighing as
pounds to the bushel, is equal. pound
for pound, to S7Is cents per bushel
wheat
The lowest grade of spring wheat is
worth only 81 cents, or 301a cents per
bushel less.
The best grade of barley at rs cents
is equal to 93& cents per bushel for
wheat, against March delivery. Wheat
is now quoted here at rs cents, or
difference of 17& cents in favor OF bar
ley.
The wheat bulls present other reas-
ons than the high price of barley as
the cause for the probable decrease in
northwest this year.
Unsatisfactory wheat results on the
older lands in southern Minnesota and
portions OF South Dakota each year are
steadily widening the area Of each for
corn and oats. the high price of the
latter helping that grain as against
wheat.
The increasing popularity and much
greater yields per acre of durum than
of other wheat viii be more impor-
tant feature in the northern sections
than ever before.
When 1t is recalled that the durum
wheat crop last year was SIS, 0OO, 900
bushels. which sprung from the origi-
nal seedlings OF 1000 bushels in 1900,
the strong probability of further in
crease Is made more forcible.
The greater portion of the entire
durum crop was raised in North Da-
kota.
