give the town a population of 1878
an increase of 6,666 or 1881 per cent

liz so large that nobody is grumbling.

CHRISTMAS Minus
CHRISTMAS FEED
THE GAS EXPLOSION AT JAMES.
TOWN WAS CAUSE OF DIRE
CONSEQUENCES TO
MANY,

jamestown, N. d., Dec. 27.-Over a
hundred jamestown families had no
Christmas dinner as the result OF the
explosion in the Jamestown Gas Co.'S
plant Christmas eve, and the hardware
and stove dealers are doing a thriv-
ing business today in the gasoline
stove and range line.
Many hundred families in this city
rely exclusively on gas for cooking
operations, and the. fire and explosion
came just before the turkey was roast
cd and the cranberry sauce finished.
Invitations to Christmas dinner were
hastily withdrawn with regrets, and a
penetratingly tragic sight was to see
hordes of families, who make Christ
mas domestic culinary gorge, gum
shoe to the local hotels, with facial
expressions that presented with fine
Miltonic effect the sainted vision of
divinest melancholy.
The Gas Co. has started today to re-
pair the damage done to the plant by
reason Of the fire, which was of un-
known origin, and which completely
wrecked the plant and the machinery,
and blew Levi Sweringer out doors.
He suffered horrible burns about the
face and head and his hair was en-
tirely burned from his head and eye
broWs. The force of the explosion
carried bricks from the building over
a quarter of mile. The shock Of the
explosion was felt for blocks.

DIVES into LAKE
THROUGH AIR HOLE
FORMER NORTH DAKOTA MAN
MAKES THRILLING AND MOST
HEROIC EFFORT TO SAVE A LAD
FROM DROWNING - EFFORTS
WE'RE VAIN.

John Murdoch, a former resident Of
North Dakota, son of Mrs. Rebecca
Murdoch of Happen. N D., and a
brother of Mrs. w. A. Eddingfleld OF
Happen and of Mrs. b. b. Harker of
Dawson, N. D., is to receive Carnegie
medal for extreme bravery and hero
ism. Mr.. Murdoch lives at Battle Lake
Mimi, and The Battle Lake Review
has the following account of his adj
venture:
Last Thursday evening while Le-
land whiting and cousin by the
same name, were returning from
school by skating across Lake Ciith-
erall, Leland skated upon thin ice,
which had frozen over an air hole and
plunged into the lake. The cousin
who is a mere lad aged twelve, was
behind him and he says Leland never
came to the top of the water after his
plunge. He skated close to the hole
but was unable to see his cousin and
then fiinging his coat off skated for
John Murdock's house at Old Clith-
eran, the nearest place for help.
Murdoch hurried to the scene of the
disaster and peering into the water
saw the boys body on the bottom OF
the lake, and after removing his coat
and shoes, plunged into the icy water
and brought the body Of the boy to
the surface, and with no assistance
other than the little cousin, got the
body out on thick ice and crawled out
himself and worked over the corpse
for some time in a vain attempt to
revive life. Failing, he carried the
boy to his home, O. full half mile, in
stocking feet and drenchcd with the
ice cold water which. encased him In
sheet of ice. In a warm room he
made another fruitless endeavor to re-
vive the lad, but the boy was dead.
Leland Whiting was twelve years Of
age, the son of Chas. whiting, jr. He
was a bright lad, loved by all who
knew him, and his death is a sad blow
to his parents, relatives and friends.
The daring deed of John Murdoch
in plunging through small air hole
scarcely three yards across, into water
that would chill many a man to his
death, with all his clothes on, except
coat and shoes, and diving eighteen
feet to the bottom and bringing the
boy to the surface, putting him upon
firm ice and getting out alive, is little
short of miraculous, when one con-
Siders he had mo assistance other
than a mere lad of twelve years. But
John Murdoch thought he saw the
boy move, as he first observed him
on the bottom of the lake and with a
life to save he did not hesitate to es-
innate his own danger. Few men
would care to make such an effort
with so many chances against his
ever coming up at the air hole, or
fearing he might never be able to
get up on firm ice again; then too
few men could ever hope to reach
bottom at eighteen feet, handicapped
with clothing and in the water as
cold as 1t was that night. That the
boys life was not saved, is no fault
of brave John Murdoch Of Clitherall,
for he risked his own to save the
child

KILLED A CALF; JAILED
Farmer Puts Up Good Story and
Offers to Settle But 1t Is
No Go.

McClusky Gazette: P. T.. Fitzgerald,
of Denhoff, was arrested last week on
a. warrant sworn out by Fred Dick,
on the charge of larceny. According
to the story a strange calf came to
the Fitzgerald place and as 1T was
very cold Fitzgerald drove the calf an
the barn where he kept his horses.
During the night a horse kicked the
calf and when Fitzgerald discovered its
condition in the morning he cut It's
throat to put it out Of misery.
After the killing the defendant
thought it shame to waste good veal
so the carcass was dressed. AS a mat
ter of economy defendant sold the
hide to the Denhoff butcher.
The complaining witness, Fred Dick,
did not seem to grasp the finer points
of the argument. He went over to the
Fitzgerald place and demanded $50 for
the calf Fitzgerald did not have the
money, but was willing to give the
plaintiff a note for the amount He
was willing to do even better than
this and finally gave the plaintiff a
note for 800, the extra fifty being Sc
curity for the original Claim. Dick
took the note and left, but after study
ing the matter over decided to have
Fitzgerald arrested. The trial was be-
fore Justice r. III. Johnston, who after
hearing the case rendered a verdict
against the defendant and fining him
SIS, or ten days in pail. Fitzgerald
chose the latter and will spend Christ
mas as chef in the Callahan cafe.

CLUB ACTS AS
SANTA CLAUS

Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 27.-The
Cynosure club, local organization Of
young men, acted as Santa Claus to
seventy seven deserving children and
distributed boxes of toys. candy and
fruit to youngsters whose holiday
prospects looked about as devoid OF
joy as a picnic in a morgue.
A thorough canvass was made of the
city to determine the names of chill
dren. and committee was appointed
to purchase gifts and see that the
proper selection was made. on Christ
mas eve two large automobiles hung
with sleigh bells made the rounds and
distributed the presents. The amateur
Santa Claus brigade wished everyone
a. Merry Christmas in unison, and en-
iivened the streets with their greet
ings.
1t Is planned to make the Christmas
organization a permanent affair. and
to carry on even more extensive dis
trfbution OF pleasure, next year, The
idea originated with Walter Plunkett
of this place.

UNFORTUNATE
| COUPLE AIDED
PASSENGERS ON NORTHERN PA,
ciFic REIMBURSE OLD COUPLE
WHO LOST MONEY.

Grand Forks, N. D.. Dec. 81. -
Whether it was an evidence of the
Christmas spirit or not there was an
incident Of more than ordinary heart
interest took place on Thursday eve
ming on the Northern Pacific train
bound for the north.
Shortly after the train had passed
Crookston and was speeding on its
way to this city, it was noticed that
an aged couple occupying one of the
seats seemed to be greatly disturbed
about something. They evidently
were hunting for something and after
the search had continued for some
time, evidently In vain, the rest of
the passengers who had been watch
ing the proceedings with considerable
interest were surprised to see the old
couple burst into tears
One of the passengers immediately
took it upon himself to investigate and
between sobs he learned that the aged
couple were on their way from st.
Paul to Winnipeg to spend Christmas
at the home Of their son. They had
bought their tickets in st. Paul and
had SIS in bills left aud In someway
tsAO AhSICy AAeA0 bSFlA lust 1lALcEn 0pl-
lars seemed a large amount of money
to them and without it they hardly
knew what to do.
What happened? Why what would
happen in America and especially at
Christmas time? The men passengers
instinctively reached for their hip
pockets and the women began to open
their handbags and get out their
purses The hat was passed and with
in a very few minutes the old couple
were smiling again, for an amount
approximately closely what they had
lost was turned over by the willing
passengers with best wishes for a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

WATER Low; POWER FALLS.
New Plant Needed at Fergus Falls to
Reinforce Present system.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Dec. 27.--This
city is considering the advisability of
putting in a large steam turbine or
gas engine plant for the purpose Of
running the electric lighting system.
The river is so low as a result OF the
dry season that the dam from which
power is now obtained can only fur
nish sufficient to run the system from
D. m. to III o. m. each evening, and
this is causing a great deal OF dissat-
isfaction. An engineer has reported
that q new dam would cost about STA
600, and that 1t would be still more
expensive to attemptto rebuild the
dam that was washed out
