Another fatal accident among

red last Sunday morning on the
Smith farm near Buffalo, when T..
L. Sheppard, separator man, was
almost instantly killed by the COL
lapse of the separator. Sheppard
was working on the top of the sep

the machine when, without warm
ing, the entire top of the machine
collapsed, throwing him into the
interior, his head coming in con-
tact with the cylinder. The mans
head was crushed and one of his
arms was almost torn from the
body. One of the men saw him
fall, and signalled the engineer to
stop, which he did. Sheppard was
taken to the house and everything
possible done for him, but he ex-
pired in about thirty minutes. He
was about forty years old, and

STATES DISPLAY
A REVELATION
INDIANA FARMERS AMAZED AT ACRI.
CULTURAL EXHIBITS FROM
NORTH DAKOTA

That the exhibits being made at
the various state fairs throughout
the cast under the auspices Of the
Department Of Agriculture of
North Dakota, are opening up the
eyes of the farmers of that section
of the country in most remark
able manner, is being daily dem
onstrated by the fattering press
comments being made on the ex-
hibits by the eastern press.
In speaking of Commissioner
Gilbreath's exhibits at the Indiana
state fair last week, the Indianapo-
is Star says:
The exhibit of the state of North
Dakota in the agricultural build
ing at the state fair this week was
one of the most attractive in the
department and was revelation
to most Of the people who con-
stantly surrounded the display.
Practical farmers from all over
the state were surprised at the
size and quality of the grains and
grasses exhibited. The vegetable
specimens, though gathered a
month earlier than the regular ex-
hibits entered for premiums, COM
pared favorably in size, while the
potatoes far excelled anything
shown. The hand painted pottery
was greatly admired as we'll as
were specimens Of clay, coal and
other minerals. Much was accom-
plished toward enlightning the
people regarding the true condi-
tions in North Dakota and it's
many possibilities. There was
great demand for literature per-
tanning to the state, particularly
by those who we're looking toward
that state for future homes.
The more one considers the
opportunity of this new state the
more he is impressed with it's i'm
portance.
There is the most wealth where
there is the greatest opportunity.
There is the most freedom and in
dependence where the homeseeker
may purchase his acres at a mod
crate price and wrest from them
