NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.
Arthur BARLEY Drives into High
Water at Paddy'S Ford.

Wednesday morning at about 200
O'Clock Artnur BARLEY, a young
man living shors distance north
east Of the city, narrowly escaped
death by drowning.
Mr. BARLEY, who is employed at
the Lagg Carriage Works, started 80
drive to town to work. On account
OF the recent rains he avoided his
usual crossing place on Mound
Branch near the Mcfarland farm,
and tried to cross by way oiPaddy's
Ford, thinking 1t would be safe.
Mr.. BARLEY was driving colt TO
topbuggy and had the top up. He
was wearing heavy overcoat. As
he drove into the stream the swift
current turned the buggy completely
over and whirled man, horse and
buggy down the stream. In some
manner Mr.. BARLEY managed 30 get
his coats off and after a severe strug.
gle cut his colt loose, getting out on
the side he started In. The buggy
was washed on down the creek. Mr.
BARLEY then made his way TO the
home Of W Barnhart, and tele-
phoned report of his mishap In TO

| WHAT IT MEANS.
This means that from Pine street
on the east side OF Butler, running
north to, and east from Mil street
on the Summit Centre road for six
miles east, and on roads tributary
to this one, amounting In all to
about Is miles without a break, the
dragging will be continuous for a
year. The isrthest point reached Is
Ok miles from Butler This work is
all to be done without pay by the
farmers living or owning land along
these roads and should disprove the
charge that "the farmers will do
nothing for the roads,"
now 1T WAS DONE.
The movement was worked up by
the writer In this way:

road to his market town, and began
at the town end. | would have
agreed to pay Tor the first mile had
It been necessary, and made up what
it cost by subscription, because the
use OF the mile gained was an induce
ment to offer for the next, and the
more gained the greater the induce
ment. When l was able to show q
man that had arranged to have all
OF his road to town without break
dragged, II he would only do his
part, II was easy to get him to agree.

1t is the prevailing sentiment
throughout the state that the faction
al lines in the republican party are
so badly smashed that the democrats
will not be able to so stir them up as
to assist to any extent in the coming
election. The two high men in the
senatorial race were both insurgents
while the candidate for governor is
the product of the stalwart faction, as
is the case With most of the state
ticket, however there are few eX-
ceptiOns in this list Thus it will be
seen that factionalisln is practically
set at naught so far as the republican
party is concerned in North Dakota
The ticket is such that all republicans
regardless of former lines, can and
will be supported. There will be
more straight republican ballots cast
this fall than there has been in many
years. The republicans have just
cause to feel good over the conditions
of things, and if the democrats get {
look in this fall there will have to be
a fuke somewhere that is now fal
from apparent.

1t is commendable to note how the
defeated candidates of the recent re-
publican primary are bowling to the
will of the majority They show the
spirit that should be shown under the
circumstances. There were many sur
prizes brought out by the election.
Many candidates that seemed to be in
the lead, proved to be considerably
behind when the votes were counted.
There were indeed few true political
prophets this year on the primary
election. The candidates are nearly
all reconciled to their defeat and are
planning to lend their assistance to
the rolling up of a good majority for
the ticket in full.
