Very Seriously Injured.

Portland, N. D., Aug. 19.--An acct
dent happened here this week that
came near proving fatal to Christian
Hanson, an aged farmer residing
some four miles northwest of the city.
Mr.. Hanson attempted to get into
his grain tank near the Egge G. Sol
lid blacksmith shop and his team, being
rather unruly pair, cramped the
wagon so quickly that he had barely
got his footing when he he was thrown
violently to the hard street, striking
on his head and shoulders, rendering
him unconscious. He was picked up
apparently in a lifeless condition and
carried to the warehouse at the rear
Of the w. Torgerson store.
A doctor from Mayville was sum-
moned, both Wadel and Rogers being
out of the city. He did what he could
to relieve the injured man, and as
soon as possible he was removed to
the Hotel Dacotah.
In the course of a few minutes he
regained consciousness sufficient to
express his desire that DR.. Wadel care
for him. He was soon on the scene
and with the help of DR.. Rogers the
unfortunate man was cared for and
his wounds dressed. 1t was found that
several ribs were broken, his shoulder
badly hurt and his head bruised to
quite an extent. He suffered intensely,
but at present seems to be resting as
quietly as possible and the doctors say
If nothing unforeseen happens he has
fair chance of recovery.
Mr. Hanson is a man of about so
years of age, and injured as he was
has many odds against him, but he
is a strong man and his many friends
hope that he may regain strength and
soon be able to be about.
After being thrown from the wagon,
the box alighting on him with its
contents, some 500 pounds, the wagon
broke in two when the team broke
into a run and struck the iron lamp
post on the Rugland corner, upsetting
1t, foundation and ALL They became
separated and one horse started with
the front wheels while the other had
but one whiffletree. They were soon
rounded up and placed in the livery
barn, not much worse for their flight.

OLD,TIMERS' REUNION
Cornerstone Laying at Forman Was
Occasion Of Most Enjoyable
Reunion.

Forman Independent: The corner
stone for Sargent county's new court
house was laid Tuesday with fitting
ceremony. All the old timers of the
county were here on that day and
many tales Of the early pioneer days
OF the country were exchanged, by the
men who took up the white mans
burden and endured the hardships and
privations of pioneer life to make
homes for themselves and families in
the Sargent county, of twenty-five
years ago, before the iron bands of
civilization had arrived. They mani
fest their pride in the new courthouse
under construction, and we'll they may
as in measure it will stand as a
monument in honor Of those dauntless
pioneers who did so much to place
Sargent county on the agricultural
footing it enjoys today--one of the
best agricultural sections in this great
est of agricultural states.
The old timers of the county oc-
cupied prominent place in the days
programme. The meeting being called
to order by Col. c. H. Forman, who in
his opening address voiced his pride
In the new courthouse and Sargent
county. The colonel is one of the old
est residents of the county and has
done much to bring about its present
prosperity. The ceremony of the law
ing of the cornerstone was conducted
by John Herman, the oldest citizen of
Sargent county and one of the MEM
bers OF her first board of county COM
missioners. Mr.. Herman came from
Winesheik county, Ia, in September,
1880. He filed on a homestead in what
was then known as Hamlin township.
known now as Herman. The county
was not yet organized and the closest
railroad town to the Herman family
was Wahpeton, distance of forty-two
miles. The county was organized in
1884 and at the first election in Mo-
vember of that year Mr. Herman was
elected member of the board of coun,
ty commissioners. He is a veteran of
the Civil war having served in the
Fourteenth Iowa infantry. Mr.. Her.
man was 81 years old his last birth
day, hale and hearty and as full of
life and progress as he was. thirty
years ago when he braved the hard
ships of pioneer life on the Dakota
prairies.
Hon. d. j. Mckenzie made a very
fitting address welcoming the crowd
who had assembled to Forman. Turn
ing over the keys of the city to them
and bidding them enjoy themselves.
He refused, however, to turn over the
keys OF the cellars of Forman, and as
he put 1t more especially the keys
of your humble servant" but gave
them to understand that the city well
was at their disposal.
After an able address by Judge f.
p. Allen and remarks by States At
torney e. w. Bowen, f. w. Vail and
r. McCarten. benediction was held by
Rev. Menneke and the crowd dispers-
ed feeling exultant pride in Sargent
county and her beautiful new court
house.
In the evening banquet was held
by the present county officials for the
former officers of Sargent county in
the M. w. A. hall.

HORRIBLE FIND
At COOPERSTOWN
FORMER FARGO MAN, AN OLD
BACHELOR, LAY DEAD IN BED
FOR DAYS BEFORE BEING
DISCOVERED.

Cooperstown, ". D., Aug. ia fear
full stencil emanating from the build
ing of E. ]. Blystad led to an investi-
cation. Tailor Johnson first noticed
the terrible odor as he went past the
building occupied by Blystad.
Sheriff Knapp was called into ac-
ton and he took something and
smashed in the door. Going upstairs
into the room used as bedroom, they
found Blystad dead in bed in fearful
condition. The last seen of the de-
ured that he must have died on that
night, probably some time after he
had gone to bed.
He was lying in the bed and had a
buffalo robe pulled over him indicating
that he was cold, although the weather
has been very warm. The doors of the
building were locked and he was alone,
and, being a bachelor and living alone
for years in that building, no one no.
ticed his not being around. 1t might
be that he died from heart failure
suddenly or he might have taken some
thing that caused his death.
He was in such horrible shape when
found that Coroner Wesley, after
viewing the remains, concluded that
no further action was necessary on
his part and turned the body over to
Almklov's undertaking department for
burial. He was buried in the cemetery
here by the county. He owns a
building and lot in this city which we
understand Is mortgaged to Dr. Platou
as we'll as his horse and buggy. He
conducted a soft drink establishment.
He was a man between so and 20 as
near as We can learn and the only lfv-
ing relative that anyone knows Of is
a sister who is living in Norway.
He must have been dead at least
four days before he was found and
his poor horse, wb 'ch was always sleek
and fat, had had nothing to eat and
drink all this time and was in a sadly
reduced condition. Blystad first came
to Cooperstown about fifteen years ago
when he came up from Fargo to paint
the First National bank building when
1t was built. His property will have
to be disposed of to pay his debts, aft
er which the county will probably get
back what it cost to bury him.

Cooperstown, N. D., Aug. ia
Pekin blind pigger went into the bust
ness of conducting a beer garden" at
Willow Lake some time ago and this

west part of the lake and landed They
had very little or no trouble in locat-
ing the garden and they joined the

nifty men, who were assembled to at
tend what resembled an Irrigation
congress. The deputies took in the
situation and awaited results. They
did not have long to wait until some
one bought sud then they bought
three bottles of Gund's Peerless Beer
for dollar-reasonable enough, it
seems. Then they flashed a star and
pulled the "man behind the Gund's,"
who gives his name as Thomas Hal
vorson. Halvorson states that he is
not the party who owned the beer,
but that he was only helping the real
owner. Halvorson also claims to be
carpenter and asserts that he has
been working steadily at his trade.
The business was conducted from
a wagon and there were six empty
and twelve fun cases in the wagon
when the officers took charge. They
secured team and hauled the beer to
the granary on the Cowen farm where
1t was locked up. Then they came to
town and lodged Halvorson in jail
He was taken before Justice Rear
lex on Tuesday and bound over to the
district court, bail being fixed in the
sum Of $500.
After the officers left the lake
lot of fellows supposed to be from
around Pekin, broke into the granary
and stole all but case and a half of
the beer.
