Northwood Cleaner: GAbe Ross
berg, aged about IS years met with a
serious accident last Thursday morn
ing about 1 o'clock. In company with
Tom Jensen he had been herding cattle
for shipment. They had put them in
the coral, and Rossberg attempted to
cross the track between the freight
cars. With the remark: II guess we
can make it," he swung his feet UP
between the cars and at almost the
same time switch engine backed the
cars up and his feet were caught and
brushed between the couplings. His
companion, Mr.. Jensen, acted quickly
and nobly. At great personal risk he
grabbed the body of the fainting man
and held him up, running along be-
tween the cars and calling for help
until he attracted the attention of the
brakeman and the injured man was
with some difficulty released. DR.. Pet
erson's services were speedily secured
and the best possible treatment is be-
ing given the injured members. but
there is grave danger that Mr.. Ross
berg will lose one foot.

RANSOM COUNTY IS OIL
Crop Outlook Not as Bad as Has Beer
Reported-The Farmers Are
Satisfied.

Lisbon Gazette: There is no oc-
casion for any excitement about the
crop outlook in Ransom county. Re
ports on crop damage have been ex-
aggerated to say the least. 1t is true
that We will not have a bumper crop
such as we harvested the last eight or
nine years, and that here and there a
field of oats that is being plowed I'M
der, and some wheat that will not
yield very much but there are not
many of these. A good share of the
hard wheat will average from twelve
to fifteen bushels per acre and some
will do better than that. Some mac
aroni 1t has been estimated will go as
high as twenty-five and thirty bushels
per acre, and this is pretty good when
you consider that this is a year of total
failures. The heavy rains of a week
ago will increase the yield from five to
eight bushels to the acre above the
estimates of ten days ago. If the pres
ent weather conditions continues we
will have a good crop of fax. Corn
all over the county is better than we
have ever seen it before. The hay
crop will not be as large as usual, but
there will be enough cut to take care
Of all stock. The farmers seem we'll
pleased over the outlook and there is
no cause for alarm.

CASKET CAUSES SCARE
Practical Joker Gets in His Work
at Risbes - Murder Was
Suspected.

Bisbee Gazette: A small casket that
had remained over from the Haskamp-
THEM Furniture business and for some
time past had been stored in one of the
old barns east of the track took on a
migratory habit Monday night. 1t
was first found in a farmers wagon
and carried a short distance out of
town by him late in the evening. 1t
seems that when the farmer discover
ed the strange and gruesome box
where he expected to find a case of
something else, he dumped 1t on the
highway. Early next morning some
one brought it to town and deposited
the coffin on a stand used by the car
nival people. Here an early riser
found and naturally concluded that
something awful had occurred, some
murder perhaps committed, and he
forthwith notified the authorities.
The officials would perhaps have been
equally taken in had not the Marshal
remembered the old casket, and sus-
pected that the appearance of a coffin,
in which judging by the weight, a
corpse reposed, was the work of some
practical joker
Upon examination the casket was
found to be as expected and the muir
der sensation died abornin.

GOOD CROPS UNDER DITCH.
Irrigation Farmers at WiIIiston c
Easy Street This Year.

Minot N. D., July $50. E. Hineleine
and Thomas Mckay of Williston. are
in the city on business. Both gentle
men are in the real estate business
in WiEiston and have been taking an
automobile trip over the northwestern
section of the state.
Mr.. Hineleine said this morning that
the finest crop raised anywhere in this
section of the country will be ready foe
harvest in Mckenzie county in about
t%o weeks more. He says also that
there is soma fine wheat in northern
Williams county and that IN eastern
Montana, particularly in Dawson coun-
ty, there is good prospect.
MI. HincIeine says that the farmers
under the ditch of the Williston irri-
cation project this year are in clover.
They have fine wheat, a great alfalfa
crop and garden truck that can't be
beat anywhere. The finest potatoes
raised anywhere in the west will be
taken from some of the farms under
the Williston project. The same con-
dition prevails in the Buford- Trenton
district and the dry season this year
has been one of the most effective ar
guments possible in favor of the irrf-
gated tracts along the Missouri.

AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT

Page Record: Eddie Hendricks, the
12-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ilrt
Hendricks of Minnie Lake township
met with serious accident Thursday
evening about o'clock while at work
in the hay field. Two poles had been
erected at each end Of the stack, with
a chain connecting them. Large forks
of hay were carried along the chain,
and it was while this was being done
that the chain broke, letting the pole
drop on the boys head, who happened
to be just beneath it.
He was Immediately hurried to town
and placed in the Scanlon hospital.
An operation was performed early this
morning and large piece of the scalp
removed. The boy was resting easily
this morning and it is thought that
nothing serious will result. 1t was q
very narrow escape and the young fell

METEORITE FALLS
near BOWBELLS
HEAVENLY VISITOR FELL
THROUGH A SOD BUILDING
ON A FARM-PLAcED ON
EXHIBITION.

Bowbells Tribune: Uncle Ike Ross,
while sitting alone at the backdoor OF
his farm home four miles south OF
Bowbells on Sunday night last had his
attention attracted by a ball Of fire
descending from the heavens and he
had not long to watch the thing before
he could plainly hear the swish made
by 1t in passing through space and In
less time than it takes to tell It, 1t
struck the deserted sod shack near by
and the force Of it's descent drove 1t
through several feet of the side Of the
shack and 1t became imbedded in the
earth underneath to the depth Of at
least two feet. Uncle Ike describes
the sensation he experienced at the
approach Of the dod-ratted thing by
saying that he was "skeered nigh to
death" and after going to bed he could
get but little sleep, and he got out Of
bed the next morning feeling as though
he had been sent after but couldn't
possibly come" However, on leaving
his house in the morning he repaired
to the sod shack and, upon investiga-
ton, it took him but very few seconds
to find just where the heavenly body"
had struck and become Embedded in
the ground He at once secured a
spade and set himself to work TO dig
the thing out, and after considerable
hard work he succeeded in locating
stone, burnt perfectly black and
throwing out sulphuric odor. the rock
weighing about four pounds and show
ing Enthusiastically that it was a visitor
from parts entirely unknown to us
ordinary mortals here below. Isaac
brought his find to town and 1t was
the center of attraction all day Mon
day, inasmuch as it was mo common,
ordinary stone" as one chap remarked.
1t still retained and emitted a strong
odor Of sulphur, and as a matter. of
course, all had to advance their "idees"
as to the why's and wherefores Of it.
Anyway, Uncle Isaac refused to part
with the rock, not withstanding he
could have sold it for more than the
value of a cord of ordinary rock, and
it is not unlikely that he may conclude
to send it to the State University for
examination by the wise men in that
institution, who in turn will probably
be able to tell just why it should have
been hurled from the kingdom above
to mingle with the common ordinary
things Of it's kind that strew the sur
face Of this old and wicked world Of
ours.
