HE SHOT HIMSELF
AROUND A HAY STACK.
Here's the Very Latest in the Way Of
"Freak' Stories Emanating
from the Suburbs.

Herman Solky, proprietor Of the Fire
mans House, Belleville, met with q pecu-
liar accident yesterday afternoon while
hunting near the meadows IN Kingsland,
as a result Of which he may be forced
to take his meals from the ma~ntlepiece
for a short while. SO 1t Is said.
Mr.. Solky is not an experienced hunter.
In fact. some of his friends say he never
handled a gun before yesterday. At any
rate. he had heard his friends talk of
the pleasures of the chase and determined
to try his luck Aiming himself with a
double-barreled shotgun and with his
faithful ',mut," or rather dog, Pee Wee,
at his side. he sailed forth early yester-
day morning prepared to clean up the
woods.
He started operations in North Airing
ton. There appeared to be nc rabbits In
that section. for after a tramp of several
hours, without having a narrow escape
from ''quicksand." he wenied his way
northward to Kingsland.
Approaching the town Pee Wee darted
Off into the brush, yelping at a great
rate. and Herman put off in pursuit.
mans heart as the dog appeared in the
open close at the heels of a rabbit. At
least it looked like a bunny" although
grayish in color. The dog biased its
quarry across a farm and into a meadow
land. Here there were a number of hay
stacks. Herman was not far behind when
uOR n 'Dunny reached one OF the
stacks. Bunny started around the stack
with Pee Wee a half length to the bad.
Herman. putting like a porpoise, brought
up the rear.
Dog and rabbit chased round and
round. and Herman went round and
round too. The chase was becoming tire
some when a bright idea struck Herman.
Slowing up he took. the gun and bent
the barrel In semi-circular shape across
his knee. and sticking 1t around the hay
stack in the opposite direction from which
he was running. he fired. There was an
awful yell, which did not come from the
dog or rabbit" Herman had received
the charge in his hip, 1t going clean
round the stack.
While he was dancing around in pain
Pee Wee abandoned the chase to see what
had happened to its master. The quarry
strolled leisurely across the fell. and TO
Ferman's establishment it was not a
rabbit. but a cat

THE MEMS CLUB.

The March banquet of the Men S
Club was held on Friday evening
last in the parlors of the M. E.
church. About ninety persons were
present and fully enjoyed the boun'
teous repast furnished by the La
dies Aid Society of the Congrega'
tional church.
The principal topic of discussion
was The Auditorium. Decidedly 8
minor key prevailed. The air was
full of Encouragement and want OF
confidence in the undertaking
While it seemed conceded at least
by quite number of those present
that one is needed, yet the feeling
expressed and which seemed to find
a considerable degree of sympathy
was that there is not so general a
desire for such a building as justi-
fes making an effort to secure one
at the present. In view of this gen.
eral feeling it seems likely that the
project will be dropped at least for
the present. The more the matter
was discussed the more it became
evident that such a building would
involve so serious an expense that it
might be very difficult to find funds
for it, and no one desires to com
mence work and find it at last a
failure.
A movement inaugurated at the
Club was the founding of what is
known as the 5000 Club whose in
sigma is red ribbon badge having
printed thereon the figures 5000, the
meaning being that all its members
will make an earnest effort to in
crease the population of the city to
5000. Quite little enthusiasm was
aroused and it is to be hoped that
some good may be done by direct
ing the attention OF the people to
the fact that cities do not grow
without some effort on the part of
its citizens.
The promoters of the 5000 Club
have called meeting for next Mon
day evening at eight o'clock at the
Opera House to perfect the organi-
cation. They promise an interest
ing meeting, with plenty of good
speaking, etc.
1t was voted to hold another meet
ing of the Mems Club at some time
next month, the committee to be ap-
pointed later.

band she lived with her son at

A Letter From "Fuel Fam
ined" CD North Dakota.
Carpio, N. D., March 2, 1907.

Carpio, N. D., March 2, 1907.
To the JoURNAL:-Iffs inclosing
my annual contribution to the
Great Family Journal with draft for
81 so feel inclined to state that
our friends in Wisconsin have wor-
ried needlessly about the people of
North Dakota this winter, as news
paper reports of the fuel situation
have been greatly exaggerated. 1t
| is true that this state has seen the
most severe winter in years and
some people have been inconven-
fenced because they had not expect
ed hard winter and had failed to
lay in supply of coal early. The
railroads were unable to haul the
tremendous crops of grain and it
was difficult to rush in Eastern coal
but with the Ignite mines in this
part of the state where farmers can
get good coal for about $1.50 ton
at the mines the fuel situation
would at no time be serious if the
people would only use a little fore
sight in getting coal before winter
sets in. When one considers the
fact that large number of home
steaders live in shacks not much
better than drygoods boxes and
cattle in many places are out all
winter, serious results might be ex-
pected and yet diligent inquiry
shows that not 10 exceed half a doz-
en- people have frozen to death in
the whole. state and these largely
die to their own carlessness. This
is no worse than Wisconsin or New
York. Some towns on the branch
lines have been unfortunate and
greatly Inconvenience but on the
main line of railroads the only
trouble has been that trains were
delayed and in some instances there
were no mails for several days. My
opinion is that land men interested
in Texas land have been doing their
share to discredit the Northwest.
The people of Carpio have appar-
emily enjoyed themselves as we'll as
usual, as there have been entertain
ments and parties galore and all
we knew about people freezing to
death, &c., we got from eastern pa
pers. l have compared the tenn
perature here with the record as
found in the JOURNAL, taken at the
Normal school, and there has not
been great deal of difference DUR
ing the winter, but we had much
more snow and the trains were not
equipped to battle with it, as very
few engines had snow plow attach
ed. The gentle zephyrs blow more
than in Wisconsin, hence the train
service is more apt to be interfered
with. The weather during the larg-
er part of February has been warm
er than in Wisconsin and Ie farm
ers are getting ready for their
spring work.
