NARROW ESCAPE
FOR SCnAEER BOY
BOY STRUCK bY BULLET WHILE On
WAY n0lE-llANAcED TO Walk
ROME THOUGH VEM WEAK

+ What proved to be narrow es-
cape from being seriously wound
ed or perhaps instantly killed, was
had by the young son of r. j.
Folvan, near the Folvan farm,
about seven miles west of town,
Tuesday evening. The boy had
gone out to drive in the milch
COWS, and was walking over the
summit of a small hill when he
felt slight sensation in the region
of the groin. He had gone but a
short distance when he began to
feel faint, and discovered that
blood was tr;ckling down his
limbs. He managed to reach the
house where his wound was tenn
porarily dressed. He was
brought into town where DR.. Nor
ris extracted % caliber bullet in
the groin just under the SKIN.
The boy was taken to his home
after the operation apparently
. none the worse for the accident,
other than the slight illness caused
by the shock.
A peculiar thing about the
shooting was that the boy neither
heard the report of the gun or
saw any one around at the time.
The shot probably came from the
rifle of a hunter some distance
away and was evidently either a
ricochet or spent ball.-Schafer

FOR RELIEF OF ... ..
FIRE SUFFERERS
PRESIDENT M'FARLAND OF VALLEY
CITY WILL RECEIVE FUNDS FOR
AIDING fire SUFFERERS

jamestown, N. d., President
Mcfarland, member of the
North Dakota board of the Ma.
tional Red Cross association, an.
nounced today that he would re.
ceive all funds contributed by the
citizens of North Dakota, for the
sufferers from the Minnesota fires
of this and last week.
Mr.. Mcfarland said today that
he had decided to make this an
nouncement only after hearing
that Governor Burke, the presi-
dent of the board, is campaigning
in the southern part of the state
and has doubtless not been in a
position to communicate with the
members.
All money received will be for.
warded to the national association
where it will be distributed at the
points most needed. The presi-
dent of the National Red Cross is
now on the way to the scene of
the fires. e.. s...,.: ..,. -.

FLAX BRINGS A
RECORD PRICE
OWING TO The SHORT CROP PRICE IS
HIGHEST SINCE U. S. BECAME A
FLAX PRODUCING COUNTRY

Flax growers of North Dakota
will be interested in the report OF
President Mclean of the Ameri-
can Linceed Oil Co. The report
sizes up the fax crop situation in
a few words and gives the farmer
an opportunity for Judging how
the market price will run during
the next year.
Mr.. Mclean says: The last
year has been one without preced-
ent in the history of the company
as to the price of faxseed and lin
seed oil. Indications were of a
flax crop in this country sufficient
for all requirements but the plant
became affected with disease re-
sultjng in crop which was the
smallest in many years. As there
we're no surplus stock of seed and
oil on hand we we're obliged to 60
into foreign markets of the world
and as the foreign crops were less
than normal, with no surplus re-
naming, the competition resulted
in the highest price known since
the United States became a fax
growing country-from $1.29H to
s.. 80 q bushel.y K ,i@a4

In the afternoon at 2 o'clock the

idea of having the club women

WILL EXAMINE
n. D. COAL LANDS
THROUGH EFFORTS OF CONGRESSMAN
HANNA EXAMINATION WILL Be
TAKEN UP NEXT SPRING

Congressman L. B. Hanna has
received word from the interior at
Washington to the effect that there
will be an examination of the coal
lands in western North Dakota.
Early next spring the geological
survey will send men here to make
authentic reports and examination
regarding the lands that are being
held up because of the coal that
is under them a1@, &@
There has been much concern
among the western farmers regard.
ing the fact that they did not have,
and many were not getting a clear
title to their lands, because of the
rumor of coal laying under the
surface. Some of the farmers
have justly claimed that the amount
of coal under their lands was not,
and is not of sufficient quantity to
warrant the reserving of the coal,
and giving them surface title only,
to their lands.
In the interest of these land hold
ers Mr.. Hanna wrote to the de-
partment asking that examinations
be made in cases where the settler
had been or would be allowed only
surface patents on his property.
The examinations are to be made
with view of determining as to
whether sufficient amount of coal
lays under the lands being held up,
to warrant the government not
giving the land holder a full title
to his property.
The geological survey will send
a party of inspectors to the state
next spring. The inspectors will
make complete examination of
the lands and will issue reports re-
garding what properties should be
held up and what property owners
should be allowed full title to
their land, because of insufficient
quantity of minerals under the
surface of the land.

RATE CASE BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
MISSOURI TW0-CENT RATE CASE BEING
FOUGHT BEFORE THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT

Washington, Oct. 14-Stubborn-
ly contesting every point, attor-
neys for the state of Missouri and
the railroads therein today began
arguments before the supreme
court of the United States as to
the validity of the two-cent pas
senger rate and maximum freight
rate laws of that state passed in
1907. So important did the court
consider the case that it extended
the time for argument so as to in.
clude practically all of the courts
time tomorrow.
1t is claimed by counsel in the
case that the issues in controversy
will effect state legislation regu-
lating railroads in nearly every
state of the union. The case in
cludes questions of jurisdiction of
federal courts over state legisla-
ton in regard to railroads and the
proper basis of arriving at the re-
mureration guaranteed the rail-
roads under the federal constitu-
tion. The circuit court of the
western district of Missouri held
the laws we're unremunerative and
enjoined their enforcement.
By coincidence this case, the
third to be argued before the su-
preme court after Justice Hughes
became a member, was the one in
which u high compliment was paid
to him as governor of New York.
In the argument of the case in the
United States circuit court for the
western district of Missouri, atten-
ton was called to the fact that
Governor Hughes of New York
had vetoed q similar law in his
state because the legislature had
not given the matter sufficient
consideration. It was argued that
the same thing applied to the Mis-
souri, law. u
Washington, Oct. ia re-
hearing of the Missouri river rate
cases was refused today by the su-
preme court of the United States.
As q result the order of the inter-
state commerce commission reduc-
ing the class rates between Miss
issippi river crossings and the
Missouri river cities on freight
originating at Atlantic seaboard
points will 90 into effect.
A rehearing in the so-called
Denver rate case was also refused
today. This action will allow the
order of the interstate commerce
commission reducing the freight
rates on class shipments from
Chicago and St. Louis to Denver

The river is At present only two

Mr.. Lawrence explains as the
cause for the rapid fall, the dry

fact that the railroads are hauling
