We feel like kickin ourself this week when we reflected how hard drove up we have been for subjeckts to write editorials about of late, and never oncet thought to write a red hot editorial on dog days and hy- derfobia. Here August has went and gone, and it is now too late to write a editorial on this subjeckt this year, but we are agoing to write it anyhow so as to take time by the forelock rather than take a chanct of forgettin it next year. While this editorial is little late, our host of subscribers can file it away for future reference.
 So far as we have been able to ascertain at this writing, no dogs in Bingville went mad during the month of August and nobody was bit. This is somethin to be thank ful for. The dog populashion is more numerous than it ought to be. We have more dogs in this town than we have any good use for, and if they continue to in- crease in numbers, it won't be many years until we have more dogs than we have people.
 It has got so that person cant hardly walk down Main street any more without steppin on a dogs head and standin a good show of havin a chunk took out of the calf 1 of his leg. Hank Dewberry is praps the greatest dog fancier we have. Hank allus has any where from 2 to II dogs on hand of all breeds, descriptions and seckses for sale or to swop. If Hank had in- vested his time and money in real estate instid of in dogs, the chances is he would now be rich man in- stid of not having enough loose change to keep hisself in terbacker.
 While we are speaking of dogs let us also discuss cats. There is at present nearly as many cats as dogs in Bingville. As a result the nights is made heedjus, and people who want to sleep are kept awake and haft to go out next morning and gather up all their old shoes and other household furniture which they have throwd at cats during tempory fits of anger and insanity. Let us do something to eradicate dogs and cats in Bingville. Let whoever's business It is to look after this do SO at oncet.

CRACKER CORNERS.

As they be too families in our midst who has subscribed fer the "Bingville Buple" now, and take it (and many more readin it), we thought as more an likely our naybors round bout would be glad to here how we be gettin on over this way.

he was in the boat and he was

pinned for several minutes until help
came and released him. All this time
the hot water from the engine was
being poured on him and he was ter
ribly scalded and his head was cut
and bruised in several places.
Arthur Nicholson who was working
on the separator was thrown some
distance and suffered a broken leg
and his face was badly burned. Sic
bert Olson, one of the crew, had his
head badly cut and bruised and his
face was burned considerable.
When the explosion took place
pieces of machinery dew in every
direction and it is great wonder
that others on the rig did not suffer
injuries. At the explosion the rig
backed up about six rods and the en-
gine was completely demolished as
both ends we're blown out of it and
pieces few in all directions. Those
working on the rig are unable to ac-
count for the explosion as the engine
had plenty Of water and had been
running in first class shape all through
the day and the explosion was un-
looked for.
Monday two of the men injured
were brought to Devils Lake and
placed in the General hospital.

THROAT SLASHED
! ;. WITH A KNIFE
Companions of Frank Klemens Rob
and Gut Him

Frank Kemens, foreigner, came
near losing his life Saturday night in
this city from having his throat cut
with attack knife. He had been work
ing on threshing rig few miles
from this city and came into town Sat
urdaysin company with two of the
other threshers and they spent the en-
tire day together and apparently were
the best of friends. Late in the eve
ming the three decided to remain in
town until Sunday morning and then
they would go back to the farm and
finish the engagement they had made
with the people they we're working
for. The two companions of Klemens
invited him to lodge in hay stack
near the. Farmers mill and the three
went tos that locality and Kemens was
the firststo fall asleep. After he had
gone to: sleep the other two rified his
pockets, took $37.oo in money and a
watch and revolver.
During the day klemens bought a
new hat, shirt, shoes and other wear
ing apparel and the two companions
took these articles from him also. Az
fer they had robbed him of all his be-
longings one of the two pulled a large
jack knife from his pocket and told
| Klemens he would kill him. Klemens
begged. for his life mercifully and told
the other two that they we're welcome
to all he had, but. not to cut him with
the knife: They did not heed his
pleas, but slashed him across the
throat with the blade and made theil
get-away.
After being cut and the blood run
ming .profusely from the wound he
walked to the city and a doctor wa!
summoned. 1t was necessary to take
fifty-thFee stitches in his neck. HI
| was III a very weak condition from
\ loss of blood. He is young maj
about nty-five and came to Devil
