of his Jackson Touring car he left
it on the prairie near Edmore. When
the machine broke down Mr.. Richard

back but finally decided to leave it

| take a notion to travel again and come
home itself. A farmer who came to
Devils Lake last week asked several
people If any tools or parts of machin-
cry had fallen from the heavens in
this locality. He said that out his
way the whole prairie was covered
with wrenches, hammers, gasoline
tanks and there was some kind of a
machine there too, but he couldn't
tell whether it was an automobile or
/ a manure spreader.
