MUST OBEY The LAW
$40 fine FOR every BIRD

E. j. Scharf, special deputy game
warden, started in this week to make
people respect the chicken law. Com
plant was filed against man who Mas
suspected of killing prairie chicken 8
contrary to law and the party walked up
and paid $40 fine. The law provides
that fine of $10 shall be paid for every
chicken unlawfulIy killed. Mr.. Scharf
also took gun away from man out
hunting who apparently was in utter
ignorance of the. unlawful act he was
attempting to commit. s4
Deputy Scharf does not want to arrest
any one. He wants the people to let
the chickens alone until the law is on.
However, he is appointing deputies and
will not hesitate to arrest any person
who breaks the law. There are lot Of
chickens this year and If hunters will do
what Is right there will be no trouble.
The season opens September 7.

CAME NEAR BURNING
RAY LAMDERToN up

A week ago when Ray Lamberton was
at Lennon he had an experience that
he will never forget.
Mr.. Lamberton is one of the Moore
Bros. auto demonstrators and had just
been replenishing the gasoline tank of
his car when merchant whose light ine
plant had exploded, causing oil to
ignite in the room. came out with a
burning rag which he threw over the
auto; causing the gasoline 10 ignite.
The tank of the car was open and a
blaze shot up for about 20 feet. Mr..
Lamberton's clothing had been satur-
ated with oil and was Immediately on
fire. He started to run but presence
of mind told him to throw himself onto
the Ground and roll. The flames were
extinguished and he was only slightly
burned on one arm.
"@ It was an exciting time for few
moments all round. but turned out
quite fortunate for those concerned.

SAYS WEST MUST
COUNT ON pRou1n

A Washington dispatch of July 18 says !:
THE. drouth from which the west is
now suffering only verifies what many
aericulturists have expected for a long
time said Acting Secretary Hays of
the department Of agriculture today.
MANY of US knowing that the west had
suffered cycles of drouth. believed that
these cycles would again hamper the
farmers there, but the period of many
years during which rainfall had been
regular caused the people to forget the
real condition that faced them. - con-
tinued Nj. Hays, who was farmer in
Minnesota before becoming assistant se.
cretary of agriculture. and who is
especially familiar with the wheat
country Of the northwest. ..a i.
Real estate boomers have sought to
minimize the danger from drouth in the
west and they have talked that way for
% many years during which the rain
fall has been regular. that many people
came TO believe that there was no longer
danger Of that kind for the crops They
are seeing il now. + 4
THE west is really much bett er
country than many agriculturists be-
lived. but We must face the fact that
these cycles of ! dlouth viii Isrecars aHiid
iarmeri must finance their farms In
such conservative way as 70 have sm-
plus money with which io face these
periods Of non-prodnctiveness. In good
years in the new sections of the west,
the farmers pro6t has been large, Id
some cases % Great as TO permit him to

the long run they will obtain satisfac-
tory refmns, but thds must face ths
situation as it is and come to look upon
the cycle Of drouth as one 81 tie recairr- eaarr.

Mlfl flvAUkEE BRAncA IS
NEARING new ENGLAND

The Hettineer County Herald of July
IA says:
Things are moving at rapid rate on
the Milwaukee arade this month and the
officials say that some of the grading
outfits vii have to do some tall hustline
to have their contracts completed before
the track-layins crews catch up with
them. The steel is already laid dis
tance of IS miles from Mclaughlin to
the Cannon BIZ river. At this point
large bridge. now nearly completed, de-
layed operations and for the present the
steel crews are at work on one of the
Milwaukee branches south.
On Monday A. G. Baker, engineer of
construction. with headquarters in Miles
City, Mont. and Division Engineer T. F.
Schofield of Mott were in town. They
had just finished trip of inspection
over the full length of the line from
Mclaughlin to New England and were
we'll satisfied with the progress being
MouC' AACy oldtCu WHICH, lllC olccl crews
start again nothing will stop them until
the last spike is driven at New England.
The smaller bridges will not delay the
track laying as all material will be
hauled fifteen miles in advance with
teams and sufficient force will be put on
to keep clear of the track laying outfit.
When asked how soon we could expect
to see trains running in New England
Mr.. Schofield stated that we might
possibly have trains here by September
18th but that October 1st is the time he
figures the track laying will be COM
pleted. October 1st is only few days
later than Right of Way Agent F. N.
Webster set early last spring and it still
looks as if his estimate was a good one.
In speaking about the crops Mr.. Scho-
field said down along the southern end
of the branch the crops looked bad
even as far as Mott nothing but half a
crop could be expected. From Mott
west it was altogether different and
right around New England were the
finest crODs he had seen.

THE INQUEST
K T. N. Hartung, Walter Junkin and L.
H. Dow were appointed coronor's jury,
"A. D. Davis coroner, to find a verdict in
the case.
The work of the jury was concluded
Thursday and the finding was in sub
stance this: That Maurice Quinn came
to his death from accidentally falling
from an automobile while passing over
a rough crossing and being run over by
q freight train.
From the testimony taken at the in
quest it appears that there were no
freight cars on the north track at OF
near the crossing and that the fast
freight No. So was moving west on the
second track from the north. The auto
came around the end of the snow fence
at speed of to miles per hour.
This was about 100 feet north of the
crossing. The train was moving at q
little faster speed. perhaps to miles
per hour. DR.. Davis and Mr.. Britt say
that they did not notice the train until
just as they were up to the track. The
engine was about 80 feet away. The
doctor was running on low speed and
immediately reached for high and ao'
out ina hurry, passing over the rest Of
the tracks and over to the ball park be.

on the pilot of the engine testified to

fence who were waiting for the train to
pass made about the same statement.
They were watching the auto. Some oil

was moving at a speed Of 12 miles pc,

remained seated and clung to the seat
rail be would have been saved. fie fell
in a northewsterly direction. face down.
The jury appears to blame the rail-
road company for the rough condition Of
the crossing but not further than this.
Why the people in the auto did not see
the approaching train until just as the
front wheels Of the machine were on the
track cannot be explained. .

MAURICE QUINN KILLED. -
BODY SEVERED ON RY.
Life Instantly snued Out West R Crossing Fell
Auto Seat Engine and Three Sets Car Trucks Passing
Body Wife and Two Children Left. Remains Taken to
Former Home at Lowell for Burial
Life Instantly Snuffed Out at Wes,

One of the most giuesome accidents
that ever happened at Dickinson occurred
about O'Clock Wednesday afternoon at
the west railroad crossing when Maurice
Quinn was run over by train and the
BODY severed just above the hips.
The victim was in the back little seat
of model F Buick and was on his
way to the ball park to see the Hop
kins Bros. lady players. DR.. H. A.
Davis was running the machine and
John Britt was in the front seat with
him. A freight train was moving
slowly to the west and as the auto
passed over the crossing from the north
il was noticed that there was likely to
be collision and it is presumed that
the man in the rear seat stood up and
possibly was yanked out of the car
backward. Fireman Frank Ehly was
watching on the south side and said to
Engineer C. E. Edqulst on the north
side that the auto was safely over, not
noticing the empty seat. Maurice
Quinn was caught on the pilot, rolled
across the north rail and his lifeless
body picked up under the front trucks of
the second car. .,-,,....
The accident created a great commo-
tion at the ball ground and the people
rushed over to the crossing in great
numbers.
The body was taken at once to the
moreue of Boulger & Hughes and Mrs.
j. A. McAndress, a relative. was sent
to the home to break the terrible news
to Mrs. Quinn and the daughter and son.
Maurice Quinn was nearly 40 years Of
age and was born in Lowell, Mass.
where his parents died some years
since. He has one brother and three
sisters at Lowell and Eddie Quinn. a

BEACH won
=. MONDAYS
First Game Close and Won by
Dickinson. Connolly and
Nelson Make a Strong
Battery.

The baseball games on Sunday and
Monday with the Beach team were
divided, each winning victory.
On Sunday the final score was 2 to 3
in favor of the home team and on Mon
day they were beaten by the score of 7
to1.
In Sundays game Nelson did the
twirling work for the locals. and did it
creditably, striking out 13 men.
Beach's pitcher also twirled classy
article, striking out 9. making the game
really pitchers battle.
Beach began their first session by scor-
ing two runs on two hits and combina-
tion of errors. In the fourth inning the
locals came back and tied it up, and in
later inning piled up another run and
no more scores were made by either
side.
1t was good, fast game of baseball
all the way through. Dorfler on third
base and Clemeo in center field did ex-
cellent work for the home team. and
Ehrmantraut. fielding for Beach, made
a catch and throw home that was fea-
ture.
The only thing that marred the game
was rag chewing match over umpires'
decisions and Dickinson forfeited their
umpire, Smith, for the remainder of the
game.
The game Monday, on muddy field
ended in score of to in favor of
the Beachites. This was the hospital
benefit game and despite the heavy
shower and appearance of the elements,
a crowd of fans and business men were
out to see the game which was unin-
terestine and featureless.
1t was the visitors game from the
beginning. Our boys were unable to get
even safe hits, to say nothing of run,
and they kept going out in nearly every
inning in the one, two. three order.
Beach scored in first, Second. fourth.
sixth and eighth innings through errors
of the locals. Dickinson's only run was
made in the sixth by Nelson.
Nelson played shot stop in Mondays
game, and in both games. Connolly
catching, did his usual excellent work.
Dr.. Bowen umpired the game for Dick
inson and Beach's umpire. Gillette.
passed over some rotten decisions which
would have put Beach's all-salaried.
sensitive team up in arms had they to.
take the same.
