The residence Of DR.. W. F.

tered Monday night between the
hours of two and three and the

were stolen. No trace of the

is probable that he will not be

It seems that the doctor was
called by a sick message about
2 o'clock. He went out in the
barn to steam up his automobile,
leaving the rear door unlocked,
not closing it until he left the

NARR OW ESCAPE
George Emslie Seriously Injured In a
Runaway <

III George Emslie, formerly reg
lister Of deeds in this city, had a
narrow escape from death at
Pelican Point bridge Friday af-
ternoon. With the members of
his family he had driven down
from the Chautauqua behind a
team in a light surrey. Near the
bridge they alighted and were
engaged in picking wild berries
when the team started to walk
off. Mr.. Emslie ran after them,
but when. reaching for the bride
rein of one of the animals, he
stumbled against a bush, and
startled the animals who broke
into a run, throwing Mr.. Elms-
lie down, the tire Of the front
wheel passing over his neck and
shoulders. The shock rendered
him unconscious and when re-
moved to his cottage at Chautau-
qua and physicians, summoned
they found upon examination
that, though no bones were bro
ken, the injured man was suf-
fering severely from bruises, ana
that the shok had paralized him,
he remaining in that condition
for several hours. , y *sss
The team was followed and
stopped "a short distance away
from the scene of the accident.
1t is not thought: that any Sc
rious results will be sustained by
Mr.. Emslie from his injuries,
though they are likely to confine
him to his house for a little time.

DAMAGES D Al ] T. SUIT. HE'D
Instituted Against 4 City br The
/. , j: Alnountssof SIS, 600. :.

g. s'''
]; : Yesteraaya afternoon The city
of I Devils lake was made de-
fendant in a $25o0 damage suit,
Edward Hovey being the plain
tiff. Attorney H. M. Gray serv-
ed the papers on the city,swhere-
in, as before stated, they are
sued for the amount Of. $2500
and costs, the plaintiff alleging
that the grading which has late
ly been done in front of his prop
erty on Fifth street between
Flint and Arnold avenues, has
materially damaged it to this
extent.
It is the contention as set forth
in the damage suit that Mr..
Hovey owned the lots long prior
to Jan. 1st, 1896: that the i'm
provements made thereon were
made according to the natural
grade Of the street at that time,
and the lots were filled to con-
form with the natural grade. In
an ordinance adopted about Jan.
5, 1897, the city fixed a grade
which required the street to be
raised from two and one-half to
four feet above the natural grade
Very little grading was done un-
| til the summer and fall of 1906,
and absolutely no attempt made
to conform with this ordinance
until six years ago, it is con-
tended. During 1906 and 1907
| the plaintiff maintains, the street
has been raised from two and
one-half to Z three and one-half
feet in front Of his premises. !:
AS the result Of this grade
!, and I'LL the plaintiff alleges that
This property ! is q from two and
one-half to four feet below the
level Of the street, that the ma

TERRIFIC HAIL
Visits North of Ramsey
Go. and Travels Eastward
CROPS ARE GREATLY DAMAGED
Greatest Damage Reported Near Pet.
ersburg and Niagra

Advices received from the
northern part of Ramsey county
are to the effect that a terrific
hail storm passed through that
vicinity Wednesday afternoon,
doing an almost incalcuble
amount of harm in the way of
destroying prospective crops.
Many farms in the path Of the
destructive element were COM
pletely devastated, the grain
being moved down as cleanly as
if a scythe had been used.
A detailed account Of the
storm and the havoc wrecked
have been impossible to obtain,
but that thousands of acres of
crops were completely destroyed
is without a doubt.
The storm took a southeastern
ly direction, passing through
Walsh, Nelson, and Grand Forks
counties. In some localities it
is reported as being fifteen miles
in width.
At the towns Of Petersberg
and Niagara in Nelson county,
great damage is reported as
having been done.
The crops surrounding the
places were literally beaten and
pounded into the ground.
In the city no hail fell, though
the. sudden change in the atmos-
phere about four o'clock appris-
: ed the residents that hail was
undoubtedly falling near; this
place. A few drops of rain ac-

thousands of spectators. both af1oat

YALE WINS GREAT CONTEST.
OLD RIVALS FIGHT OUT GRAND
EST RACE IN HISTORY OF
BOATING. =

New London, June 29.-Before the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a
race on the Thames river the Yale
crew last evening, rowing on an aver
age of four strokes to the minutes less
than Harvard, held the big Cambridge
eight even until the last half mile,
when she blues let out their speed and
won a magnificent contest by scant
boat length. Never once in the whole
four miles did the long, graceful shells
cease to lap each other. Thousands
of persons aboard the observation
trains and on every kind of floating
craft and those who lined the shore
Sent Cheer Upon Cheer
to the old rivals as they fought out
one of the grandest races in the his
tory of beating.
Yales time for the four miles was
81 minutes and 10 seconds: Harvard's
time, 81 minutes and 13 seconds.
Two better trained crews never row.
ed a race And likewise two better
fighting Fights have never measured
off their strength against each other.
The time of q minutes and 10 seconds
up stream is the fastest time on rec
ord for an upstream race. The record
for the course is 20 minutes and 10
seconds, but this was made down
stream with tide and wind.
Hartman Is Arrested.
The race was accompanied by one
disagreeable incident. This was the
arrest of E. H. Hartman, the railroad
magnate, by Lieut.. Bulmer, President
Rooseve!ts naval aid. Lieut.. Bulmer
who was in charge of the revenue cut
tiers, had warned every boat owner not
to follow the race. The big varsity
struggle had scarcely been started
when Mr.. Hartman, in a powerful
motor boat, started to follow the race.
Repeated orders to stop were ig.
nored by the railroad magnate, and he
was ordered under arrest by Lieut..
Bulmer. Mr. Hartman saw no more
of the race, but was detained on board
the Gresham as any ordinary prisoner
until the race was over, when Lieut.
Bulmer released him, but ordered his
boat tied up at the navy yard The in
cident may cost Mr.. Hartman fine
of $500.
