Grand Forks, N. D., June 22.-The
failure of the expert accountants who
made the checkup OF the records Of
the North Dakota penitentiary TO make
report, is given out by Governor John
Burke, who was in Grand Forks the
other day, as the reason for the fact
that no further action has been taxi

into the administration of affairs at
the penal institution. The matter of
continuing the probe and furthering
prosecution OF those guilty OF short
comings in the operation of the pen
itentiary, II 1t is found that there are
any who have been guilty of wrong do
ing, rests in the hands of a committee
composed of Governor Burke, Secretary
OF State Alfred BIaisdell and state
Auditor D. K. Brightbill.

that in actions brought before the

MADE WING TWO BALL
GAMES, BEATING >-
YORK.

Brinsmade. N. D., June 30.-Brins-
made held it's annual celebration,
known as Gopher day last week and
fr was the most successful affair of
the kind ever pulled off.
The features of the day were two
ball games, one played in the forenoon
between Brinsmade and Sheyenne and
the other in the afternoon between
Brinsmade and York. Brinsmade
proved that IL has a whirlwind of a
ball team by taking both games, the
one in the morning by a score of 4 to
2, and the one in the afternoon by a
score of to /. I
The afternoon game was fraught
with the keenest excitement as York
had the championship team OF North
Dakota last year, winning % straight
games without defeat.
In this game York came to bat first
and was retired without a run. In
Brinsmade's half of the first inning
the first two men were easy outs but
Bert Hopper, the next man up, made
himself hero with Brinsmade fans
by clouting out a clean home run.
This seemed to take some Of the gin
ger out of York AMI they were unable
to score until the ninth, when they
made a game effort to win the game
but succeeded in getting only one man
across the pan. In the meantime
Brinsmade had annexed three more
runs, one each in the sixth, seventh
and eighth, respectively.
The batteries in the morning game
were Bell and Smith for Brinsmade;
Hetchel and Wattles for Sheyenne.
In the afternoon game the batteries
were Joyce and Smith for Brinsmade;
Babcock and Fuller for York.
Summary of the afternoon game:
Hits-off Babcock, 6, off Joyce, s.;
struck out-by Babcock, A. by Joyce,

An excursion was run from Caring

DRAGGED Under TRAIN
Travelling Salesman Has a Miraculous
Escape From Death on
Rails at Medina.

Medina Citizen: What came near
being a fatal accident happened at
the depot last Friday morning just as
the west bound freight was pulling
out. AS the caboose was going past
the depot a Mr.. Olson, representing
the Works Biscuit company, at
tempted to get aboard. He made a
grab for the front rail, but only sue
ceeded in getting hold of the rail that
runs along the side of the car. The
train was going at pretty good clip
and he was jerked down between the
platform and the train. In this man
ner he was dragged for five or six
rods. Finally his hold to the railing
was torn loose and he dropped beside
the track, the caboose passing him
and the wheels narrowly missing his
body. 1t was a mighty close shave for
Mr.. Olson, and we warrant he won't try
and mount a train for some time un-
less it is standing perfectly still.

that as the bonds were to be In the

He HELPED HIMSELF
Williams County Farmer Procures
Articles Without Cost but has
to Give Them Up.

Crosby Eagle: A farmer by the
name Of Franzen who resides about
twenty five miles south of Crosby
was in town last Friday on mission
of procuring articles without cost.
Late that night he went into the yards
of the Crosby Lumber company and
leisurely loaded some lumber on his
wagon and then helped himself to
some plowshares belonging to Rous-
seau Bros. and, last, but which proved
not least. he took an empty barrel
from outside of Happy's blacksmith
shop.
Saturday morning as Mr. Happy
was going to breakfast he noticed
the barrel on the wagon and on in
vestigating. he found 1t to be his prop
erty. He requested the farmer to return
1T, which the latter did. On inquiry
at the other lumber yards in town. it
was learned that he had not pur-.
chased any lumber and 1t was also
discovered that lumber had been taken
from the Crosby Lumber no. Fran
zen was detained in town and put
through, thorough questioning and
admitted his guilt. The plowsnares
had been hidden in the grass south of
the @. NJ tracks and they were returned
as was the lumber.
After Franzen had returned the
stolen property he was allowed to go
home, but in the future should he att
tempt like feat here, no leniency will
be shown.
