DISAPPEARANCE
IS MYSTERIOUS
A CAVALIER COUNTY FARMER
MISSING AND FRIENDS ARE
UNABLE TO LOCATE
HIM

Langdon, N. d.. Nov. 26.-The mys-.
terious disappearance of Gustav Gu
berud from his home at Elkwood,
this county, the latter part of October,
is causing considerable anxiety there
as in spite of vigorous search of the
surrounding country and inquiry at
neighboring towns. absolutely no trace
can be found of his whereabouts and
his friends are at a loss to account
for his sudden disappearance. There
could be no possible reason for his
skipping out as he was in comfortable
circumstances and lived on a claim
in the neighborhood, on which he ex
pected to make a seven year proof
next spring. Besides his own place
he rented a farm from Peter Olson
in the same neighborhood.
What attracted the attention of the
neighbors was the fact that he had
not been seen around for several days
and upon investigation it appeared as
though he had been absent for some
little time. His stock was in the pas
ture, consequently they had not suf-
fered for lack of feed and water. A
brother living in Bowman county was
sent for and is now here looking after
the personal effects of his brother.
If the young man had passed
through any of the neighboring towns
he would have been almost sure to
have been recognized by somebody
as he was well acquainted in all the
neighboring towns on both sides of
the boundary.
Mr.. Guberud is 25 years of age,
medium height. light complexion, bor-
dering on the auburn; hair inclined to
be curly, has large blue eyes and was
smooth shaver.

AUTOMOBILE AccI.
DENT.

Petersburg, N. D., Nov. 26.--For in
juries received when he was run down
by an auto driven by Ole Hildre of
Petersburg, Alfred Tennyson of this
city seeks to collect $4,000 damages,
and an action for that amount has
just been commenced in the district
court of Nelson county.
A number of months ago Tennyson,
who was driving with a team of
horses, was run down by Hildre on a
road just a short distance from
Petersburg AS a result of the acci-
dent he was so seriously injured that
the amputation of one leg was neces-
sary.
The accident Tennyson charges,
was caused by careless driving on the
part of Hildre. and because Of that
alleged fact he believes that ne is
entitled to the amount OF damages
asked in the suit.

/. In an action brought primarily
Cor the purpose OF determining adverse
claims to real property, a demurrer to
the complaint stating as the only
ground for demurrer that several
causes Of action are improperly united.
cannot be sustained when the facts
stated in the complaint only constitute
one cause OF action, although the de-
mands for relief may be inconsistent.
or applicable to different causes OF
action which could not be properly
united. For the purpose of determin-
ing whether demurrer will lie in such
case the demands for relief form no
part OF the cause of action.
2. The complaint was demuTred to
on the ground only that 1t improperly
united several causes Of action. II is
commended in this court on appeal from
an order overriding such demurrer,
that the complaint does not state a

WAS REFUSED

Drayton, N. D., Nov. 26.--There will
be no bridge constructed across the Red
