CRUSHED UNDER STEAM BREAK.
ER


Napolean, N. D., April 25.-Ole As
zeldson, aged about Fl years, ma
tive of Norway who had been here
only few months, lost his life in
horrible manner two miles north of
Wishek, being run over by big
steam breaking engine belonging to
E. G. Bent of that place, with Henry
sAder, we'll known here, as engineer;
1t seems the young man, who ac-ii
companied the breaker outfit as sort
of general utility man to look after
the plows and other work incidental
to the operation of the big machine,
was walking alongside the engine to
protect himself from the chilly wind.
It is supposed that he stumbled and
fell under one of the big drivers.
The engineer heard no outcry and did
not know what had happened until he
looked around and saw the mangled
remains of the unfortunate young
man tangled in the plows. The great
weight which passed over the form
of the deceased lengthwise crushed
him fiat.
He leaves an uncle near Burnstad.

Mr.. Buchanan ditined a stalwart
as one who is satisfied with political
and economic conditions as they are
and an insurgent as one of the same
general political faith who recognized
that there were wrongs to be righted
and was disposed to do his part to-
Yards righting them. He promised If
elected governor to enforce all the
laws without exception and lay stress
on the necessity of giving constant
attention and effort to the proper en-
forcement of the prohibition law. He
declared that he was favorable to
drainage in the eastern part Of the
state where it is needed and equally
interested in irrigation in the western
part of the state where it is desired.
He further stated that he would, in
the event of success at the polls, use
his utmost endeavor to carry out the
pledges Of his party.

Washington, April 24th.-Senator
McCumber, who is still very i'll, was
improved in his general condition yes
terday and today. His temperature,
which has been considerably over 100
last night was almost normal. The
possibility of blood poisoning, fol-
lowing the serious operation of last
week, has been the greatest dan
ger. He has a fine constitution and
his physical condition otherwise fav-
ors his recovery. His friends feel,
however, that it will be some weeks
before he will be able to be around
and that he will have to depend more
upon them and his supporters in
North Dakota to look after his inter-
ests, than ever. A dispatch today
from Washington received at Fargo,
states his condition is more satis-
factory to his physicians.

of VIM. F. Edwards of Eastman
township, to give way, and he was
brought before the insane commits

dered committed to the jamestown
asylum for treatment. Mr. Edwards
was formerly a practicing attorney
In Anderson, Ind, and stood high in
his profession. He has since held
responsible positions with the Elks
lodge. His brother, Ora Edwards, a
minister from the eastern part of the
county, induced him to come to this
section about year ago in the hope
that a change in climate would help
his mental faculties. But he has
been growing gradually worse and
hospital treatment was deemed nec-
essary.

HARDSHIPS ON IMMIGRANTS

Kensal Journal.-All who visit
Portal these days are impressed with
the harshness of Canada's immigra-
tion laws, especially the restrictions
placed upon horses and cattle. Up
on entering the town one is aston
ished to find every foot of side track
taken up with the emigrants who
are being held there with the cars
awaiting inspection. There are g.
900 head of stock, and hay is scarce
and naturally high priced. The
Canadian authorities examined the
animals. If one is detected as hav-
ing temperature it is placed in quar-
antine and held for thirty days devel-
opment. In the meantime the emf
grant is held. If at the end of thir-
ty days there are any technical symp-
toms the animal is taken out and
shot and this cost 81 per head, be-
sides the board and care of the ami
NAL. One farmer had eight horses.
Seven were shot, and it was neces-
sary to sell the eighth one, to pay
for the shooting of the other seven.

1t is hoped that no mistake will
be made in the failure to erect the
new armory building the full length
of the present lot, 14O feet. The
cost it is said to do this will not
exceed $4,000 more than the cost of
the building as originally planned.
The advantages will be many for this
city, as we'll as for the company. The
use of suitable building for public
gatherings, for amusements or con-
ventions will we'll repay the small
sum put into the construction Of the
building to secure the needed depth
Other armories in other towns that
have sufficient space for large meet
ings are in demand.
The city can well afford by it's pub
lie spirited citizens to aid the boys
in raising the comparatively small
sum needed to get the building as
desired. The state has put in $4,000,
Mr.. Corwin has offered to take a
second mortgage and make loan of
$4,000 and the militia company has
raised some $4,000 for the building
all exclusive of the lot and excava-
tion which are paid for. The citi-
zens here can we'll afford to help Sc
cure loan of the balance needed.
1t will be a semi-public building and
will draw conventions and gather
ings here which would not be secured
unless a good sized comfortable con-
vention hall or auditorium is to be
had. The Increased size will permit
the building to be used for roller
rink as we'll as other purposes, which
would bring In steady income. A
loan at low rate of interest for the
balance needed has been suggested.
It is an important matter for future
purposes of Jamestown and must be
settled soon.
