that he was injured, thought that he
had better go to the house. He un-
hitched the five horses from the bind

right hand almost dropping off of the
arm. When within a short distance of
the. house he fell from weakness caus.
ed by loss of blood and the team ran

His brother seeing the horses coming
home alone made his way to the field
and found Mr. Strande in an almost
unconscious condition, carried him
to the house and Immediately went to
Warwick and telephoned to Drs. Sih'
ler and Mcintosh. DR.. Sihler went to
his home at once and dressed the
wounds.
Saturday he was brought to the city
and taken to the General hospital
where his hand was amputated and
his wounds re-dressed and the patient
made as comfortable as possible. In.

: While cutting wheat Friday after.
noon on his farm about nine miles
south of Warwick, Thorwald Strande
met with an accident that may cost
him his life. He was driving five hor-
ses on the binder, when they became
unmanageable and began going around
in circle and he jumped from the
binder and went to the head of the
horses to control them In some" un-
accountable manner he was knocked
down and the horses at once started to
run away and pulled the binder over
him. -. -
When he fell he put up his right
hand to grab the lines which were
dragging on the ground, in a hope to
stop the horses before they would pun
the binder on him, and the sickle al
most severed his hand at the wrist.
His head was terribly cut, and his back
and shoulders were mangled. He also
suffered a severe puncture Of the alb

him and with all the cuts and bruises
that he received from the sickle he

CHIEF OF POLICE BARNES
SHOOTS BAD MAN
w. Blackburn Attempted Escape
Monday and Got His

Monday afternoon L. w. Blackburn,
an unknown in this city, tried to es-
cape front Chief of Police Barnes and
Sheriff Belford after he was taken un-
der arrest, and was being taken to the
county Jail, and as consequence he
is carrying sore leg.
Blackburn and J. r. Higgins were
working for John Mikkleson at Garske
during the harvest and Sunday even
ing Blackburn stole and Identification
check payable to Higgins by the Great
Northern railway, and Monday morn
ing not satisfied with taking the check,
for the money, wrapped up all of Hig-
gins best clothes and showed them in
to -four sack and started for Devils
Lake. Higgins missing the articles
and his check, telephoned to the au-
thorities here to be on the lookout for
Blackburn and all day the authorities
watched for the arrival of the bloom
in, blasted Englishman. Higgins got
on the train and came to Devils Lake
and hunted up the authorities and
started out in the hunt for the missing
man. They went to the depot and
found Blackburn sitting in the waiting
room and he was pointed out to the
authorities as the right party. The
officers waited outside for few min
utes and Blackburn came out and
Chief Barnes and the sheriff question
ed him and took him back into the
depot to get his package of clothing
that he had left behind the telephone
booth. After getting this they we're
making their way to the county Jail
and had arrived in front of Reid's
restaurant when Blackburn dropped
the sack and started to run toward
Zunich's hotel, the officers hot in pur.
i suit.
Blackburn got good lead and had
a fairly good start on the officers and
the chances of capturing him looked
slim. Here Chief Barnes pulled his
gun and shot four Or five times before
the bullet hit, but finally one landed
him in the calf of the left leg and the
swift pace that he had been going was
lessened and the officers were upon
him and took him to the county Jail

DR.. Smith was called and dressed the
bullet wound and he was put into a
cell. The bullet had penetrated the
flesh to the bone and then glanced Off
of the bone and come out on the other
side Of the leg.
Monday evening he had his hearing
and was permitted to plead guilty to
petty larceny and was given thirty
days and costs. The articles stolen
were returned to the owner.
To show that the man is a crook
during the day he had tried to cash
the Identification check at the depot,
but Agent Cushman would not cash it
for him. He also had one payable to
J. Davis in his possession, but this he
claimed was his and he was permitted
to hold it. At times he has worked
for the Great Northern on extra gangs
along the line and had been at various
places. At the expiration of his SEN
tence his leg will probably be well,
but he will not likely try to get away
from an officer again if he is ever ar
rested,

MAY LOOSE "STAR"
The Present Management on the

There may be change in the man.
agement of the Star theatre after the
26th of this month according to
rumors. Young, Murphy and Duell,
the present managers of the theatre,
are on pins and needles at present, as
Sam Goldberg, the owner of the build
ing, has notified them that they were
to vacate when their lease expired.
but the managers of the theatre are
undecided as to whether they-will get
out or not, as they had an option on
the present lease and had the privi-
lege of releasing the building for an
other year if they wished, but Mr..
Goldberg, who owns the building, had
a clause instituted in the lease where
by himself and family we're to be ad-
mitted to the theatre free whenever
they wished.
And they have been admitted to the
theatre free until the Missouri Girl
came to town. When this company
came to town and found that the ar.
mory had been leased to the various
travelling men as show rooms for the
goods during the druggists convention
they were compelled to get some place
or lay idle that evening and arrange

must explain to the Office boys why
they will have to run the business
from June 4th 10 June eth.
There Will be music aboard-String,

thing may be said about the glory Of
Detroit and the Joy OF belonging to the
Il. OF {. The lucky 500-the happier
one-half Of the membership-must
take their chances1on this.
II Will beat a country dance for

acquainted with everyone; will get
acquainted with the needs of Detroit
and the lavish appointments OF the
finest lake steamship In the world.
When the men OF Detroit who do
things get together on this jaunt they
will pull together-or be pulled to-
gether-for four successive days, any
way. That's something.
And Detroit will have IL on her
sister City OF Cleveland"-again.
You needn't worry about isolation.
You can telephone anyone In Detroit
