he lost part of one of his legs, has

ton as his attorney and the papers
in the case were issued out of the
district court for Beltrami county,
the same being served by deputy
Sheriff J. N. Bailey this morning,
service being had on G.. A. Walker,
local agent for the M. & I. railway
company.
In his complaint Mr.. Bjorge
alleges that while he was taking the
train at Blackjack, the 18th day of
November, 1907, his leg was severed
on account of the negligence of the
the company in constructing the
platform at the station in Blackjack.
Bjorge alleges that the platform
was improperly constructed in that a
great and unnecessary space was
left open from the train step to the
platform. Bjorge states that the
night of November IS was very dark
at the time he bought his ticket for
the purpose of going from Black
duck to Kelliher; that while he was
trying to board the train he slipped
and fell off the platform to the
ground and got between the train
and the platform; That the train
began to move, after he had fallen,
and he was dragged along between
the train and the platform and was
greatly injured.
Bjorge states that his leg was
subsequently amputated and that
by reason thereof he suffered other
injuries and also experienced great
bodily and mental agony; that he
was confined to his house all the
time from November 10, 1907, until
July IS, 1908, and that he spent
$500 for medical treatment.
The case will create considerable
interest and will come up for trial
at the fall term of the district court
for Beltrami county, which opens in
this city September IS.

always been an ardent supporter of
this lodge. He was it's first exalted
ruler and was a delegate to the
national meeting of Elks at Phila-
delphia last year and also to Dallas
this year. Mr.. Decker was elected
grand tyler of the grand lodge at
the Dallas meeting, an honor which
was deservedly conferred.
Mrs. Decker has made hosts of
friends in this city through her most
excellent womanly qualities. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Decker will be greatly
missed and the sincere wishes of the
residents of the city are that they
will meet with unbounded success in
their new home in Minneapolis.

Was Spent Before Reaching Vessel
Carrying Republican Presidential
Candidate-Latter Not Informed OF

Cincinnati, July 3O.-The steamer

trip up the Ohio river with Judge

and guests aboard and Mrs. c. B. Rus.
sell of this city, standing on the hurri.
cane deck directly under the seat &C.
cupied by the presidential candidate,
was struck in the face and breast by
a number of small shot. She was not
seriously injured.
Few of those on the steamer knew
of the occurrence and Judge Taft was
not told. A shotgun was used, being
fired by a man from a shanty boat
moored to the Ohio side of the river.
The identity of the shooter is IN.
known.
The Island Queen had steamed
slowly around the bend at Dayton.
KY, and was near the middle of the
river when persons leaning on the
larboard rail saw a man emerge from
the cabin of shanty boat moored on
the Ohio ba1k and fire a shotgun.
He was in his shirt sleeves and wore
a straw hat.
Mrs. Russell gave scream and de-
clared she had been shot. She was
hurried into the cabin, where it was
found she was not seriously injured.
One of the shots had penetrated the
skin over her left eye and another
had struck her on the chin.
The distance from the shore was so
great that the charge Of shot had al
most spent itself when it reached the
boat. A number of the pellets pierced
her dress. A young man standing by
Mrs. Russell's chair was also hit by
one of the shot, but he was not hurt.
The officers of the boat stated that
they would make an investigation in
order to learn the identity of the mis-
creant who fired the gun.
