The state-line herald. (North Lemmon, Adams County, N.D.) 1907-1912, 1908-09-25


A deplorable accident occur
red Tuesday morning to little
Charlie Garrison. The little fel-
low had been given a piece of
money to spend, and full of antici-
patton for treat he had started
to cross Main street. While
hurrying across, the wind blew
off his cap, and he had to retrace
his steps. Having regained his
cap, he was rubbing his eyes on
account Of the dust the wind had
blown into them, when suddenly
he was struck by a bicycle on
which J. H. Nash was riding.
Mr.. Nash discovering the move
ments of the little fellow too late.
fell with the wheel in vain en-
deavor to steer clear of him, and
the handle bar struck the child in
the face, injuring his left eye,
and the bell blowing an ugly cash
across a side of his forehead.
The child was struck unconscious
for the time being. Mr.. Nash
hurried to DR.. Reed who FORUM
ately was found at home, and
every attention possible was
accorded the little fellow. The
wound in the forehead required
a number of stitches and the boy
was also otherwise badly shaken
up, He is however, we'll out of
danger by this time and in time
will have nothing worse than a
scar to show for his narrow es-
cape. No doubt too he got his
candy.
E. Wakefield was obliged the
latter part of last week to go to
Aberdeen, to consult specialists
as to his health, which had been
poor for some time past. He
returned Wednesday, stating that
Drs. Rock, King and Everson
concurred in diagnosing his all
ment as duodinal ulcers, which
however were too far advanced
to warrant relief by operation.
His health is but slightly i'm
proved at present, but it is hoped
that time will bring relief.
Banker Braught has left for
Mitchell, to be in attendance up
on the famous Corn Palace. He
will superintend the northern
Butte county exhibit, which was
gathered and sent there by the
Lennon people. Messrs. Hale
and Siderius likewise expect to
take an active part in directing
the public attention to the ex-
hibit, and will see to it that the
various circulars of information
about Lennon and the state line
country will get into good hands.
There was more or less super
abundant ardor displayed at a
little meeting had Friday Of last
week between F. K. Reasey and
Fred Hanna. Just what was the
"causa belli" is not apparent,
but it do seem that our worthy
blacksmith, his son and a fairly
heavy Case threshing machine
agent, accompanying them came
out second best in the melee. At
first there was a likelihood of a
second act before the justice of
the peace, but the matter was,
upon second thought dropped
much to the chagrin of the neigh
bors, who thus lost an opportunity
Of having a little fun out Of the
affair,
The bunch of Lennon boosters
who had gone to Three Forks,
Mont, to take in the sale there,
returned Saturday last, we'll
pleased with their junket and
the opportunities that town offer
ed: They bought a number of
lots themselves and stated that
at the sale every lot in the busi-
ness section was sold. Inciden-
tally speaking, when the auc-
tioneer volubly declared that
Three Forks had a sure future
before it, that the railroad had
so decreed, and proposed to have
the place as one of it's division
point, and that Three Forks was
destined to be very best point
along the new extension, except
except, ah--" Except Lem
mon," shouted one of the bunch.
You bet your life, except Lem
mon :. retorted the auctioneer.
