noon news reached here that julius
Manske, a prominent young farmer
living northeast of Sheldon, had been
killed in an automobile accident last
night He was alone at the time. of
the accident and no one knows just
how. it occurred, it is supposed that
he was travelling at a high rate of
speed and the machine left thea road
and turned turtle, and that Mr..
Manske was caught underneath the
auto. He left Enderlin last evening
about 10 o'clock for his home and it
was about a mile east of that city
that the accident occurred. It was
supposed at his home that he had
stayed all night in Enderlin and but
little thought was given of his alb
sence, so that he was not found until
the following morning, when farm
er in driving into Enderlin discovered
the machine and the body under

ELK'S GRAND EXALTED RULER
LJCKY

Garry Hermann went to Detroit
last July and was elected exalted
ruler of the Elks by acclamation.
His Cincinnati lodge captured the
rest OF the glory at the big Elks con-
|vention by winning the Hudson tour
ling car offered to. the lodge whose
ladies made the handsomest appear
ance in the Elks pageant. The judg-
eses were unanimous in awarding the
Hudson to Garry Harriman's dele
CATION 1t cost Hermann more to
win the car than a new one would
cost, he having outfitted the Cincin-
matt women with white gowns, hats,
parasols, gloves, ETC., and paid ex-
cess baggage on seventy big trunks,
fin which to transport the regalia
from Cincinnati. Garry felt repaid
when he heard the Judges decision.
Now he has another cause for cele-
bration: His lodge raffled the car
off and netted $4,000 on machine
that sells for only little more than
one third of that sum. To make the
story good, Garry held the winning
ticket on the car.

DOG DID. NOT LIKE. IOWA

Gaunt and thin and apparently
half starved, a Scotch collie dog that
left for Iowa with the family of ]. w.
Schmickle, returned to his former
home near Cogswell about two weeks
ago, after an absence of nearly two
months. The dog had been raised
on the farm and had scarcely been
off the place when the family moved
to Iowa after selling their farm chat
tells this fall, taking the dog with
them. Whether the deg went to
Iowa with the family orshether he
was lost on the. way Is not known.
hut is is clearly apparent he has
been on long hunt, for his old home
and has suffered many hardships On
his journey. Robert Karr, who is
living on the farm this winter, has
taken the dog in, and he seems per-
fectly contented now that he has
found his old home.

1 ]; RACK TO THE TEPEEs.

A special from Bismarck says that
five Indian girls. ranging in years
from eight to nineteen, escaped from
the Indian school and returned to
their homes on the reservation along
the banks of the Cannonhall.
It is supposed they crossed the
Missouri on the ice and are making
their way by foot, a distance of sixty
miles, to the Standing Rock Indian
reservation. 1t is. fortunate the tenn
perature is not low; as otherwise
they might suffer great hardship in
their. long tramp. The school author
tiles have gone in pursuit and it is
probable the runaways will be caught
on the road or located at their old
home and brought back.

In speaking of the sale Mr.. Ten

chase that have nothing much to
say for publication, because I have
not had time to consider what policy
will be determined upon for the pa

While Mr.. Tenneson made no state
ment to the effect, it is understood
that The Courier people will obtain
