It is with pleasure that The Press cor
reefs q false impression made in last
weeks issue regarding the cause of the
mishap to John Corbet, painter at the

EMMONS CO. FARMER
met With ACCIDENT

Linton Advocate: John OhIhauser,
living west of Linton. met with a run
away accident on the morning of the
Fourth while driving along the bottom
road near the old Shier place. He was
taking his family to the Livona cele-
bration, and while going along a sid
ling place his little 5-year-old boy fell
out, and the rest of the occupants. in
their endeavor to catch the little fell
low, also went out. The team then be-
came frightened and ran away, smash
ing up the vehicle badly. None of the
occupants was seriously hurt, although
the little boy was badly bruised and at
first little hope was entertained for his
recovery. Word was Immediately sent
to DR.. Rice of Cannon Ball, but he be-
ing unable to cross the river on ac-
count Of the high wind, the next best
thing was ia bring him to Linton. G.
A. Herolz, who happened upon the
scene, volunteered to take him in his
automobile and, in company with Mrs.
A. M. Weller, who took care of the lit.
tie fellow on the way, brought him to
Linton. He was taken to the Office of
DR.. Hogue, where he was treated. The
doctor found, after a careful exami-
nation, that there were no internal in
juries, and along in the afternoon the
little fellow was taken home, about
eleven miles west of here.

MURDER MYSTERY
in MONTANA

Miles City, Mont, July 1.-THE cor
oner's jury which investigated the
death of Jas. Christoff. Bulgarian.
who was found with his skull badly
fractured along the Milwaukee railway
July 4, returned verdict that deceased
came to his death as a result of a blow
or blows administered in a manner to
them unknown, thus leaving it an open
question whether he was struck by a
train or was murdered. The fact that
his watch and $50 in money was gone
was considered strong evidence that he
was murdered, but the doctor who
made the post mortem thought the
damage to the skull was so great that
1t would seem the unfortunate man
must have been struck by something
more powerful, as an engine. 1t was
ascertained that man who was walk
ing from Butte to Dakota had passed
long about the time that ChristofR
might have been struck, but he had
gone back and reported finding the
man unconscious at the first section
house before continuing his journey.
The dead mans Bulgarian friends are
considerably stirred up over the matter,
being certain that he was murdered,
and will probably bring the matter to
the attention of their consul.

charge of violating the prohibition law.
Complaint was made to the states at
torney that liquor was being sold, in
the morning. Sheriff Romer and his
deputies Immediately left in an auto
for Streeter and rounded up a large
number OF witnesses, and returned to
jamestown with Bagen before even
ing.
After an interview with the states
attorney, Bagen decided to plead guilty
to the charge against him, and waived
examination In Justice court. Testi-
mony. however, was taken before the
Justice, which developed a peculiar
condition of affairs. Reasonable
grounds were shown to exist that Fred

KNIFE and GUN

ONE MAN SHOT FIVE TIMES BY
NEIcH8oR-GREEK AFTER
COMPANION WITH A BIG
BUTCHER KNIFE.

Jamestown, N. D., July 11-Sunday
was busy day in Stutsman county
criminal circles. Early in the day An
drew Tomjack, who resides near Spir-
itwood lake came to Jamestown, and
made complaint to State --Attorney
Thorp that M. Bander, neighbor had
seriously wounded him with re-
Volver.
1t appears that Bander took five
shots at Tomjack, three hitting him in
the leg and two in the arm. The
cause OF the difficulty is. not known.
Tomjack is under physicians care.
A complaint charging the offender
with assault with dangerous weapon
was Immediately made, and the sheriff
and state attorney left for the scene
of histilities in an auto.
Trouble was also rife in railway
camp six miles west OF this place. Two
Greeks who are employed on the Sec
ton made complaint Sunday morning
that Andrew Christolfi had gone on
a rampage and threatened his CO.
workers with a butcher knife. T.
Tershili asserts that he received a
bad pounding from the belligerent
Greek, who planted his knee in his abb
domen and jumped up and down on
him, swinging knife at the same time.
The knife was taken from Christolfi
by the section men, and the states at
torney has issued warrant charging
him with assault with a dangerous
weapon. Both hearings will be had to-
day.

This Is not because she is merely

A woman of this type is often very
unhappy when she marries. She is

One particularly able and indie

to do things for her, but by jumping

do them better and quicker, so she
preferred to take that little extra

Too late she realized what she had

BISMARCK POLICE
MAKE BIG HAUL
THREE FULL CASES OF BEER
WERE CAPTURED IN THE
CAPITAL CITY.

Bismarck, N. D., July 11.-Patrolman
Martineson seized three cases of beer
from Mrs. Logsdon, a resident of the
bottoms. He also captured one case of
empties from her, and as he had seized
seven cases of empties from her earlier
in the week, this made a total of eight
cases Of empties and three cases Of full
bottles taken from her since the Fourth
of July.
The day of the capture Chris received
a call to hunt up a COW belonging to
John Robidou, and accordingly wendell
his way across the tracks to the river
bottoms to look for the animal, AS he
passed the building occupied by Mrs.
Logsdon, he became suspicious Of ap-
pearances there and determined to in
stitute a search. He found one case Of
beer hidden in the house and two cases
more about the premises. He also
found one case of empties. He prompt
ly seized the whole number of them.
Sunday, Chief Mcdonald and Patrol
man Martineson were in the bottoms
looking for evidence. They searched
the house of Clyde Townsend, but could
find nothing there. From this house
the police went over to Mrs. Logsdon's.
They searched the premises, but with
out avail. Mrs, Logsdon herself was
sitting down on the ground and would
not get up to assist the police in their
inquiry Her continued refusal to move
led the patrolman and chief to suspect
that something was wrong. The chief
instructed Martineson to pick her up
and carry her away from there.
A crowd OF neighbors were watching
the affair from q distance and were
cheering Chris on. When the police
man approached her, however, he was
met with a TRADE Of abuse, and finally
gave 1t up as bad job. 1t was learned
afterwards that the woman had been
apprised Of the raid, and 1T is thought
that she had hidden what few bottles
she had left under her clothing, thus
accounting for her refusal to move away
when told to do so. Whether Chris
suspected something OF this sort and
his innate modesty forbade him to force
her to dig up the bottles, will remain a
mystery Suffice to say that they
were probably numbered among the
empties captured.

SHORT HAY CROP
Brings PRICE UP

Aberdeen, s. D., July 11.-Reports
from men who have made a careful
study of crop conditions in this section
of South Dakota indicate that the hay
crop will be very short, although in
this respect South Dakota is better Off
than either North Dakota or Mime
sofa. The price of hay has gone UP So
ton in the last fortnight, from $40 to
$13.
Oats and barley are now being cut,
and are running about half an average
yield. Fear was expressed earlier that
the straw would be so short header
would have to be used in harvesting
those crops, but in nearly every field it
has been found perfectly feasible to use
binder, the straw being nearly I'D to
the normal height A half crop of
wheat Is looked for, with macaroni, or
durum wheat little below half a crop
because the heads are not filing out SO
well as with the common variety. Corn
continues to look well, although more
copious showers are needed soon for
this crop.
