Bail was placed at $4,000, but up to

cash or $25 month alimony, but
just where the defendant is expect

fell into WELL HEAD FIRST
Beach Farmer Has Thrilling Exper-
fence and Receives Injuries That
May Cripple Him for Life.-NO
Bones Broken but Internal Injur-
les Prove Serious.

Beach, July 24-While Carl Carl
son was assisting in the curbing of
a we'll on the Randell farm, nine
miles northeast of town Tuesday, he
met with an accident which may re-
suit in considerable personal injury.
The we'll had been dug some thirty
feet deep and sixteen feet of curbing
was built, ready to lower into place.
During this operation Carl was
standing on a box to better steady
the curbing, when the timber that
was supporting it broke, letting it
into the we'll and at the same time
threw Carl into the well head first.
Mr. Randell was close enough so
that he grabbed for him but did not
get a good hold. When he struck
the curbing, after it had gone to the
bottom, he seemed to stop for just
a second and then went on. DR..
Smith, of Beach, was called and
while a careful examination did not
reveal that any bones were broken,
he was considerably bruised about
the shoulders, hips and back and it
is thought he was internally injured,
but to what extent cannot be. de-
termined until the shock has passed
off, Wednesday he was taken to the
home of C. E. Goddard where he
will be cared for for the present.

County Treasurer Did Not Advertise
for Bids Before Money In His
Charge was Deposited in Banks
Decision Favors Merchants Nation
al Bank. 9&&#$% ts&%&2"' ~

Dickinson, N. D., July 24.-Judge
w. C. Crawford this week handed
down a decision in the case of the
Merchants National bank VS.. the
county of Stark through it's treas
urer, John Reissbeck, which favors
the bank.
The action is one asking the coun-
ty, through it's treasurer, to show
cause why he should not be pre-
vented from depositing money ac-
cording to the vote of the county
commissioners at their annual meet
ing last January. 1t was alleged
that the state laws were not obeyed
in several respects, one that the bid
for depositaries were not advertised
before they were awarded. 49,: ,>.4.,
The case is one that has attracted
considerable attention all over the
state. While the case was brought
in the name of the Merchants Ma
tional, three other banks of the
county were Interested; namely, the
Dakota National, the Belfleld State
and the Richardton State.

has taken a sort of proprietary in
terest as we'll as fatherly interest in
Alaska, but that community will take
notice that the North Dakota gate
way city, Fargo, has been designated
as the distributing point for Alaskan
post office supplies. These are shipp-

another evidence of the fact that
Fargo is the greatest city in the
country, even if they do not look

YOUNG MANS NARROW ESCAPE
Driving Dscing Team When Horse
Ran Away-Young Man Showed
Rare Presence of Mind in Time of
Great Danger-One of the Horses
Badly Injured.

sar1es, July 24.-Jessie Phelps, son
of G. B. Phelps, had a very narrow
escape from death Thursday after
noon. His father had left him alone
to disc with what were supposed to
be gentle horses, but while the
father was away the team became
frightened and started to run across
the breaking at full speed, throwing
young Phelps forward between the
levers of the disc, and this is where
he rode for 80 rods on the rough
breaking. .r
Finally by presence of mind that
a boy of his age (only 10 years old)
rarely has, he reached down, took
hold of one of the lines and by this
he brought the horses to circnng
and after about 40 circles, he man
aged to get them stopped.
One of the horses had it's hind
legs badly cut but it may heal up in
time.

PRINTER CAsHED BAD CHECK
August Vetterlein is Wanted by Dick
insOn Merchants-Made Good His
Getaway after Cashing Check for
Which No Funds Are in the Bank.

Dickinson, July 24.-August Vet
terlein, the well known German
printer, came into, the public eye
again this week when he succeeded
in cashing check for s12O at the
First National bank. The check was
found to be forged. a.
Saturday he came to town and pre-
sented the check signed by Will Pro-
void, of Richardton. The bank here
called up Richardton and asked the
bank there If said Provold had any
funds. He had and the check was
cashed. August hasn't been seen
since and Provold claims he didn't
write the check. '.''~
Vetterlein has been careless with
his pen on number of occasions.
About two years ago he got away
with deal similar to the present
one and it was several months be-
fore the officials landed him at Bill
lings. For that stunt he did a SEN
tence in the county Jail. y
It is believed that he will show up
eventually and take his sentence for
this latest exhibition of how to raise
money. Vetterlein is an old German
with a red face and kinky beard,
light blue, eyes, a soft pleasant voice
and black, fedora hat. + :.

and first class hospital is what the
promoters figure on.
f. Drs. Alexander ss Hall and John
Staley, Of st. Paul, are the promot-
ers and local doctors and citizens
are Joining them in the project.
These professional men have visited
the city several times during the past
month to further the matter and
while definite conclusion has not
been arrived at the prospects are
good. . 81 IT'S NAG
The idea Is to incorporate and
have the institution under the con-
troll of board of directors. At first
1t was thought that cheaper build
ing would be better investment
but local sentiment seemed to call
for something more convenient and
modern, hence these conditions have
entered the plans.
The latter named doctor is we'll
and favorably known to the local
population and DR.. Hall is an emin-
ent physician, who has been prac-
ticing in St. Paul for seven years
past. Both are good business men
and would make a hospital in Man
dan succeed.
Twenty-one thousand dollars was
subscribed by eight citizens of Man
dan for proposed new hospital. DR..
A. P. Hall, and DR.. John Staley, both
of St. Paul. two eminent physicians
and surgeons of wide reputation, will
have charge of the new enterprise.

But that policy is not possible to-
day. Rates are fixed for the rail-
roads by law, and they may not be
altered Or reduced. Moreover, they
are fixed on scale so low as to
make the question of whether they
are profitable close one. At any
rate, the railroads find themselves
tied hand and foot to the two-cent-a-
mile post. They cannot come to the
rescue, without the unwinding OF
much red tape and permissive action

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST Be?

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?
At the present time a splendid
crop of cereals of all kinds seems
assured in North Dakota Nothing
but unusual and violent conditions
of the elements can prevent it. There
may be some hail but this curse is
local and usually Of small extent.
There is still time for damage to
grain from excessive heat but it is
so late in the season it is pretty safe
to discount this trouble. Can the
great crop be harvested and mar
keted This is the question now. To
accomplish this there must be COOP
Grafton between the railroad COM
panies and the producers. The

help and plenty of it, The Mime

this critical situation: .r7

Inadequate labor supply. Already the
