hasn't found any that might be for any

HUNTERS HAVE LIVELY
time With PRAIRIE fire

Ashley, N. D., Sept. 20.-Yesterday
afternoon Dr. Maercklein and Messrs.
Hite, Walberg and Harry Johnson
were out chicken hunting, southwest
of town. They unhitched the horses
and tied them to the tWo-seated bug
gy, near the trees south of r. l..
; Linn's place. When they were re.
turning to the rig after an absence OF
half or threequarters of an hour
they saw smoke rising from the bug
gy. Before they could reach it shells
began to explode. The first ones to
reach the scene of the trouble got a
box of shells and the remnants of
some clothing out of the buggy and
got the horses away. They then had
lively time to put out the prairie
fire that had started by that time, as
we'll as to extinguish the flames that
were destroying the buggy. The box
and seats were burned beyond repair
Hite's hunting coat was destroyed
also Maercklein's macintosh. Some
shells were burned, the water jug
broken and the refreshment supply de-
voured by the flames. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from fire that
possibly was in the bowl of the pipe
that was placed in one of the coats.
The hunters bagged very little game
but gained some experience.

Anderson Sundae, IA years old, a son
of Ole Anderson Sundae, residing on
his parents farm about three miles
southeast of Valley City, was shot
and probably fatally injured while
hunting near Litchville. He was
brought to the Platou hospital this
morning, and is now under the care
of DR.. Mcdonald.
The cause of the first hunting ia
tally in Barnes county this season
is apparently mystery.
The story told by the companions
of the boys, who with him drove Sun
day to a lake near Litchville to hunt
ducks, indicates that none. of them
were with him at the time of the
accident. 1t was late in the afternoon
and the boys had scattered along the
shore of the lake to get a few shots
before starting for home. There had
been no shots fired for several mo-
ments, and when the boys heard the
noise from the point where young
Sundae stood they quickly looked in
his direction, only to see him throw
up his hands and fall to the ground.
They fastened to him, to find him
unconscious, with bullet hole in his
right temple, and covered with blood.
lacing the lad in a buggy, the boys
drove to the Sundae home as fast as
possible, and DR.. Mcdonald was
called.
