A Defunct Town.

The town of Evarts, S. d., until q
few months ago the biggest cattle
shipping center i'm the country, will
pass into oblivion Aug. LIST. Not even
the railroad track will remain to mark
the place where millions Of head of
cattle have been cared for on their
way going east from the great plains
to the eastern markets.
When the Milwaukee road decided
to extend tn the coast. one OF the
worst obstacles to be overcome was
to lind a suitable site for bridge
across the Missouri river. Finally the
engineers settled upon a site several
miles north Of Eyarts, which has
since grown into q hourislling town
called Mobridge.
The railroad offered the people Of
Evarts any site they would select in
any of the new towns ON the extern
sion. and il few months ago the ex.
odus from Evarts began. Buildings
were drawn across the prairie u
other towns, principally to Glenham
and Mobridge, and In few days tho
Milwaukee, will tear up It's tracks
leading into Eyarts. That will be the

a youth named Weingardner had been
arrested at Hankinson, this state,
charged with stealing horse from

had earned it working for Mr.. High.
At any rate, Monday the parties APP

bright, pretty little girl, now about
eight years old, has improved under

her daughter Gladys came to Linton

A Horrible Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon WenZel
Kriz, while at work on his farm near
Cayuga. 81 d., cutting barley with .
binder. ran into his little son, who lay
sleeping i'm the tall grain. and the
knives of the machine cut the little
lad drcadfully.
The child who is only about three
years old, trotled down 10 the field IL
barley, which is only one-llalf mile
from he home lie played around in
the tall grain till he grew tired. Then
he lay down and went To sleep, as q
child will when H.. sand man over
takes him. That day his father was
cutting the same field OF barley. and
the child's presence was unknown to
him. The tall grain would have hid
den him effectively, even had he been
standing, and, lying asleep in the
grateful shade, what chance was there
that his father could see him, The
first Indication he had was when the
cuttcr-bar struck the baby form and
the child cries Of agony told him the
awful Truth.
They took the btby To lac hospital,
and the doctors found that half the
right thigh lad been cut of. taking
flesh and muscle and leaving the bone
bare. The left knee was laid open
and the flesh trimmed from the bone,
the left arm broken, and the wrist cut
half Off. There are hopes for the
child's life II no internal injuries de-
yelop: but at present it is impossible
to say What, if any, these are. At
best, howcy yer the blby will be Grip
Piled for life.
