Strange Mishap

A peculiar accident occurred
yesterday noon to Carl Stuberg
on his homestead some ten miles
south of Gilstrap. Together with
some neighbors Mr.. Stuberg had
butchered a beef, and to hoist
the carcass, rope and tackle had
been fixed, the lower tackle,
which was large and heavy, be-
ing fastened to the ground. A
team was employed to pull the
carcass in position, when, just
as the strain was greatest. the
lower tackle was suddenly torn
from its fastenings, and, flying
upwards, crashed into Stuberg' s
lower jaw.
One whole side of the jaw and
the chin were terribly smashed
and the teeth crushed or driven
into their sockets. The unfort-
unate man was Immediately
rushed to town, where Doctors
Clark and Ellis did the best that
could be done for him. Parts of
both the upper and lower jaw
were found to be broken, and all
teeth on the injured side being
broken, had also to be removed.
In his pitiful condition mastica-
ton will be a serions matter for
the patient, and even If the
wound makes good progress, his
face will be disfigured.
Stuberg is an engineer on the
Milwaukee in Montana, and had
come recently to visit with his
family, a little daughter having
detained him longer by reason OF
her sickness.

Today the sheriff os Morton
county relieved the authorities
of Perkins county of the irksome
charge of the two crooks who
had run into the tolls recently.
While here they had tried to dis
pose of some wearing apparel.
which they, it appears, secured
at Glen Ullin. At Mandan, it
seems, they had succeeded in
breaking out of Jail very much
stronger than the con'rivances in
Perkins county. Their trial at
Mandan will bring on conclusive
evidence, and the punishment
meted out to them will be mater
tally greater than could be given
them at Lennon under the charge
against them. And thus incident
ally the people of Perkins county
will be relieved of a great
burden of expense that would
probably mount up into better
than a thousand dollars. were
they to be held as Sheriff Fletch-
er's guests until trial next year.
The fellows seem to be as
desperate a pair as ever was
captured, and, besides getti &
away from Chief House, they
had everything in readiness to
get away from the sheriff. and
would have carried out their
plan, but for the weather threat
ening a blizzard. 1t seems, while
in duress at Bison, they had got
hold of a wire, with which they
had succeeded in pulling a wrench
and other tools lying outside their
cage to them, with the help of
which they would soon have put
the valiant sheriff to merry
chase.
There was a reward offered for
the capture of these men by
Morton county, amounting to
500; this money the Morton
county sheriff paid to Sheriff
Fletcher, although the several
parties who captured the Grim
inals will lay in energetic counter
claims for the coin.

Alaska during 1910 viii be issued by
the war department next week.
Pending decision regarding every
detail of the order involving the sta
tons to which the homecoming troops
are to be assigned, the officials declined
to make known even the regiments to
be ordered back.
1t is thought, however, the order will
name the dates of sailing of probably
the Sixth, Nineteenth and Ninth regi-
ments of infantry to the Philippines.
and it will give the home stations upon
their return from the islands of the
Fourteenth. Twenty-third and Fourth

During next year the Twentv-second
Regiment of Infantry will come back
from Alaska and be succeeded in that
territory probably by the Sixteenth In
