I Wo Bad.
Accidents
i o..
One Man Loses a Thumb
While Another Loses
a Finger.

Two bad accidents occurred this week
which caused the loss of thumb to one
man and finger to another. On Tuesday
Lee Woodruff who has homestead
southwest of town, while working on the
Kusske steam plow outfit got his hand
badly crushed while operating the plows.
In some manner he got his hand under the
chain which runs over pulley to lift the
plows, taking it between the chain and
pulley and cutting his thumb off at the first
joint and bruising the hand badly. He
was taken to DR.. Smith to have his hand
dressed and it may be necessary to have
his entire thumb amputated on account
of it being SO badly crushed.
On the same day Harry Brinton, a
member of the Chronicle force, while
operating a job press, got his hand into the
machinery and had his third finger taken
off at the first joint. The job was neat
one; he got his hand between the cog
wheel and one of the drive rods in such a
manner that the finger was cut complete
ly off and dropped to the floor, without
bruising the hand any, and he will only
be laid up for short time. He was at
tended by Doctors Museus and McNab.

The Beach .Postofficee Ad.
vanced From Fourth to
Third Class Office.

The Beach postoffice is to be raised to
third class Office, or what is known as
presidential Office. 1t will then pay
$1,000 per year with allowance for rent,
clerk hire, fuel and light. The advance
was made on the strength of the business
done during the last four quarters. ending
March 81, 1908, A new appointment will
be made July 1st when the change from
fourth to a third class Office takes place.
Another thing that the Beach post
Office should have is a few rural routes
at least two, one running north and one
running south. This would be great
benefit to the town as we'll as big ac-
commodation to the patrons who live in
the country This is something that we
can get and we should go after it, as
Beach wants everything that she can get
that will benefit the town. Watch Beach
grow!

Here Today
Big Ralley Being Held in
Beach Today-Town is
Full of Politicians.

A big republican rally is being held
in Beach today. Senator McCumber is
here to make an address. The Senator
spoke in Dickinson last night to a big
audience that went away we'll pleased
with his remarks. He is an able speaker
and everyone in Beach and vicinity should
turn out and hear him. Remember he is
not candidate but is out in the interest of
the republican party. In one of his re-
cent addresses he said: II am going to
advocate the nomination of men at the
primaries who are loyal to Republicanism
in preference to those who are Republi-
can Only when they are in office and are
willing to see the party divided when they
cannot get just what they want. Although
North Dakota is at heart overwhelmingly
Republican. nevertheless there is danger
to the party in the state in this campaign.
Personal ambitions and animosities have
led to questionable alliances, and attacks
on the Republican organization that arc
unjustitiable, thus creating division of
our strength"
The Senator is true republican and is
working hard to get the party in this state
together again. Don't fail to hear him
at the opera house.

agreeable to them. If they accept and
put in system they will build buildi,

ties on the Home Dia.
1nond Last. Sunday.

The third game of baseball this year in
which the Beach team took part was played
on the home diamond last Sunday when
the Wibaux team came down and met
their second defeat at the hands of Geo.
Baht's band of baseball warriors. The
day was very windy one making it un-
pleasant for both players and spectators,
but nevertheless large crowd was pres
ent to see the game and the boys put up
good exhibition. Two automobiles
brought people from Sentinel Butte and
a third came down from Wibaux which
with the four in town made a total of seven
autos on the grounds.
Wibaux had very bad luck to start with
and before their pitcher could settle
down he walked five men, which with a
couple wild pitches gave Beach five runs.
This was very discouraging for the visitors
ut by making three runs in the fourth
and three in the fifth they tied the score
and it looked as though they would get
away with the game as the locals were
unable to do any hitting at all and showed
a disposition to make errors. In the
seventh Beach was presented with two
more runs which Wibaux could not
overcome.
Following is the lineup and summary:

THE EAGLE WILL SCREAM AT BEACH JULY 4

the people of Beach will endeavor
to give their visitors on that day
II royal good time. The fireworks
have already been ordered and
this feature alone will be worth
coming many miles to see. At a
latter date we expect to be able
togive complete program of the
different attractions.
Prepare to come to Beach on
this great national holiday and
bring your friends with you.
This is Beach's first celebration
and YOU should not miss it.

on as friendly terms as the Beach and
Wibaux clubs cannot play game without
wrangling. There was plenty of it in last
Sundays game, although there was no
call for it whatever. Mr. Barker, who
acted as umpire, was very fair in his
decisions and the kicks that were registered
by some of the Wibaux players was un-
warranted and not even backed by their
own people.
Schuster, of Wibaux, although a triAe
wild, seems to be somewhat OF pitcher
Only one hit was made off him in six
innings.

NOTES
If it hadn't been for the passes that
the Wibaux pitchers presented to the
Beach boys, our team would have been
defeated in all probability.
The locals have lost their batting eye
since the Belfield game, only two hits be-
ing made Sunday, one by Captain Smith
and the other by RABBIT Smith, the new
recruit. The two Smiths also pulled off
the double play.
1t is evident that the boys need practice.
Seven errors are too many. Harrington at
third made two errors out of two chances;
Smith also made two errors, while Lorenz
Ayers and Green made one each.
Fredericks and rabbit" Smith each
made good catch in the field.
1t is very evident that the infeld needs
improvement. To put Smith at short and
Lorenz in his place in the field would be
an improvement. Lorenz is good fielder
and Rabbit would show the boys some
speed on the shortstop line.
This is the second time that Wibaux has
been beaten by Beach this year Last
year they only won one game from us, but
we are afraid they will not be able to do
as good this year.
Bauman pitched good game for the
locals, considering the strong wind which
he had to pitch against. Only one of the
hits made off him was really hit, the
other four were on the scratch order.
1t is pity that two ball teams who are

Mr.. Mimnaugh in New York.

Mr.. J. L. Mimnaugh, the popular
department store man of Columbia,
left with Mrs. Mimnaugh Monday for
New York and other markets, to pur-
chase goods for his large department
store. He will make the largest pur-
chase on this trip that he has ever
made, embracing everything in new
spring goods and novelties for every
department. of his mammoth store.
The business of this firm last season
far exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations of Mr.. Mimnaugh and he
is looking forward to the largest
spring and summer business Columbia
has ever known.
Mr.. Mimnaugh is beyond question
one Of the closest and most cohscien-
tious buyers in the South, and with
the ready cash already in hand, he
scoops thousands of untold values for
his customers. Just at this season
you can secure matchless bargains at
his store, for he has given positive
instructions to sell all winter goods at
greatly reduced prices, in order that
the shelves might be cleared for the
new goods, which will begin to arrive
within the next few days. That is,
the goods he will buy while he is on
this trip.
Don't buy your spring goods until
you see Mimnaugh's.

MASKED BANDITS
ROB SMALL BANK,
Secure Institutions Funds at the
Point OF PistoI-Imprison Cash.
:- .
ier in vaut-BoId Criminals
. Make Their Eseape.

Charlotte, n. c., Feb. 16.-While
one masked robber held up the cashier
in true wild west style. his two COM
panions looted the vault of the Bank
of Granite Falls, n. c., early last night
secured all the cash in the institution,
S2,7OO, forced the cashier to enter the
vault and after locking him in made
good their escape. The robbery-the
boldest in the criminal annals of the
State-Was not discovered until
O'Clock this .plorning. When Cashier
W. G. Whisant did not appear for
breakfast his family, thoroughly
alarmed, instituted search. On enter
ing the bank a feeble tapping was
heard in the vault and when it was
opaned the missing cashier staggered
out, more dead than alive from his Is
hours of close confinement Accord
ing to the cashier s story three strange
men wearing half-masks entered the
bank at 6 O'Clock Saturday evening
and while one of them held him up at
bthe point of pistol the other two,
oblivious of the fact that pedestrians
were passing the door, proceeded to
help themselves to the banks cash.
The work was done quickly and rapid
ly, the robbers betraying the GOODNESS
of professionals. When satisfied that
they had appropriated fhe available
cash, the lone robber forced Whisnant
to enter the vault and then locked
him in. Whisant declares he made
all the noise possible in cramped
quarters, but his disappearance was
not noted until this morning, when
his family discovered his absence.
The banks capital. is only $4,000
and the loss is somewhat embarrass-
ing, though neighboring banks have
offered aid to tide over its misfor-
tune.

Destructive Storms
Visit The South.

A dispatch sent out from Memphis,
Tenn, on the 18th, says: Severe
wind and rain storms visited the
South and Southwest today, causing
loss Of life and much damage to prop
erty.
Many points in Mississippi report
damage by heavy winds and an unus-
ual doWnpour of rain. At Mossviile,
near Laurel, several lives are reported
lost.
At Jackson, the heaviest rain expe-
rienced in years fell. 1t was accom-
panied by terrific wind and lightning.
At Memphis, the downfall of rain,
which has continued for three days,
ceased at O'Clock this afternoon and
the weather is growing cold.
Tyler, Texas, was swept by the
most disastrous tornado in its history
before daylight today. Coming from
the southwest, the STORM swept over
the main residence quarter of the
city, leaving trail of death and de-
vastation.
The known dead in Tyler are G. A.
Francis, agent of the Dallas News,

age of the building.
Wires are down in all directions
from Tyler, but reports from farmeIs
