KILLED BY TRAIN
Bert johnson Hit by Passing
Train While on Depot Plat
form at Spiritwood.

Word was received here Mon. that
man had been found on the rail-
road track at Spiritwood station dead
with his head crushed. Sheriff Was
ser went to the town at once and the
remains were brought to the city and
placed in an undertaker's rooms
waiting the holding of coroner's in
quest.
The body was found about a. m.
by the night operator. But little is
known as to the manner of death,
but it is said that johnson was in
Spiritwood most of the day yesterday
having come to town Saturday night.
About Il a. m. it is stated that he
went over to the depot and sat down
on the platform which is close to
passing trains and leaned over and
went to sleep. 1t is not known
whether he was intoxicated or not
but is so reported. Some time after
wards he was struck by train as
the mans head was found badly
crushed and death must have occur
red instantly.
Bert Johnson had been working on
farms and as section hand in that
vicinity for about two years. He is
about 30 years old and moved to the
county with friends, the Adkins fam
lily, who reside near Bloom. He was
seen around the depot good deal
yesterday. He had valise and trunk
which were brought to the city to be
opened by the coroner. 1t is probable
that johnson was intending to take
train, but missed doing so and eth
er fell off the platform and was run
over, or was struck while asleep on
the platform.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part Of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pains in the back, headache, nervous.
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness. irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
A. Walters living in the eastern
part Of Valley City, N. D.. says: 81
suffered day and night for more than
year from constant pain across the
small Ut my back and. through my
kidneys and lOins. / was unable to
rest we'll at night and felt tired and
worn out mornings. The secretjOnS
from my kidneys were irregular and
so frequent in action as to keep me in
a constant state Of discomfort. Learn
ing Of Doan's Kidney Pills after trying
many remedies without getting much
relief, / decided to try them and pro-
cured a box. They did me more good
than all the other menicines put to-
gether and in short time cured me.
/ have not had any signs Of the trouble
since that time and / am now in good
health. g !,

BOUGHT 100000 ACRES

The Darlington Record states that
j. E. Martin, formerly of that towr
now of Minneapolis, has ..'recently
purchased a tract of one hundred and
fifty thousand acres in Canada. This
tract has those same peculiar proper
ties of the soil as the Milestone dis
trict, which has produced so heavily
all kinds of grain since it was
opened, and in some respects it is
better. Within a few years this tract
will be known as one of the rich
spots of Canada.
b, The Record adds: ''For four years
Mr.. Martin has been looking for a
large block Of land having the same
kind Of soil as the Milestone tract,
and had almost lost hope of finding
it. 1t lies some IS miles from pres
ent railway, one and possibly two
roads will be built through it soon.
It is needless to say that all the
homestead land has been taken some
time ago, though some of the settlers
little realize that they are the pos
SCISSORS of soil that will be eagerly
sought for in the future.
4 'sMr. Martin had the privilege of
selecting the land by sections and it
is needless to say that he secured the
best Of it. A. A. Parker and w. F.
Moore assisted him.s

COLLECTIONS
Historical Society of State to
Issue Vol. 2 of State
History.

Volume II OF the Collections of the
State Historical Society will appear
shortly. Part I will contain many
valuable contributions. Rev. H. G..
Gums History of the Selkirk Settle
ment to 1916 is sure to attract favor
able notice as it is the most complete
sketch Of this interesting chapter in
Red River Valley history ever pub
lished. Along with it, as supplement-
ing it's evidence, will appear the we'll
known McLeods Journal, now in print
for the first time. In Missouri river
history there will be the publication
in fill Of Captain c. J. Atkins LOG
Book, 1S63-68, which is very interest
ing and detailed account of life on the
river steamboat during the Civil War
and the Indian outbreak of 1862. The
history of Riverside township in Steele
county, is the story of small COM
munity of English and Scotch that
has been changing it's character by
emigration to Canada and by the CON-
ing of Scandinavian settlers. The
narrative is varied by excellent bio
9raphies of the early settlers and by
the publication Of the diary kept by
one of them on his trip to the Rockies
in 1865.
The results of the field work done by
the Society in the Missouri valley will
appear in a sketch we'll illustrated by
diagrams, showing the plan of tepee
arrangement for the villages of the
three allied tribes, the Mandan, the
GrOSventre, and the Arikara. And
not the least important will be the
latest venture Of the Society, tine story
of the Indian Maiden, Corn Silk, a
Mandan myth, told SO as to be avail
able for supplementary reading in the
grades.
Part 2 of this volume is devoted
entirely to material on Fort Aber-
crombie. The diary of Lewis G. Pax
son, soldier at Fort Abercrombie in
1924, is by far the most interesting
portion of the material appearing
here.
Volume of the Collections contains
sketches of Icelandic, Danish and
Norwegian communities, many i'm
portant biographical sketches and
some very valuable material on Indian
life, including the Grosventre myth of
the Thunder Nest. In this volume are
important contributions by Prof. A.
G. Mclaughlin of Chicago university
and Harlan I. Smith, the we'll known
archaeologist of New York City.
AS these volumes are sent free to
all members 1.-THE appearance of OF a
second volume Offering such an excell-
ent series of contributions should
largely increase the membership in
the Society.

! MADE GETAWAY
The Park Holdupman Escapes
Soldiers Hot on His
Trail.

Yesterday it was reported that a
lone bandit had robbed several stages
| in the Yellowstone Park, taking the
money from the passengers at a point
of gun short distance from the
Old Faithful Inn. A special to the
Butte Miner last night from Yellow
stone Park says that the lone bandit,
who yesterday morning held up l6
stage coaches in Spring Creek canyon
and robbed 120 persons, has appar-
emily made good his escape according
to reports received this evening by a
searching party of cavalrymen.
The bandits trail was followed
easily from the scene of holdup to a
point about four miles south where
it was lost in a swamp. the outlaw
abandoning his horse at this point
and proceeding on foot. Beyond this
swamp the trail was found again af-
ter great difficulty as the mans foot
marks left little impression in the
ground. The trail was followed for a
distance of about II miles in a SOUTH
westerly direction when it was lost
altogether in another swamp and it
now is only a matter of chance if the
desperate is apprehended.
The bandit stood at the bend of
the road and as the stages came along
he relieved passengers of 'valuables
and money, which they surrendered
and were allowed to re-enter the
stages and proceed. 1t is reported
that the holdup secured over $1,000
in this manner. He is reported to
have been man of about IS years
of age, weighing 140 pounds. Pass
engers in visiting the park are not
allowed to carry weapons. The SOL
diers in the vicinity as we'll as thru
out the entire park were on the trail
within ten minutes after the news
was received, and it was confidently
expected that the robber would be
captured within short time, but
the latest dispatches say that his
trail was lost in the swamp and
chances are that the man will make
good his escape.
