Any number Of automobile
owners were standing around on
one foot Thursday morning be-
wailing their forgetfulness in the
matter of draining their engines
the previous evening. Jack Frost
put many a good machine on the
hum that night. And we guess
the late flax that was not out Of
the way of frost suffered last

ice an inch thick, and that, APP
parently would settle the flax
question.
| Apropos of the NJ. 3. a. lodge,
which was recently organized in
this city with good sized
membership, it may not be out Of
place to mention the case Of
Christian \. Nelson, Golden
Valley farmer who lost his wife by
death on June 8. Mr.. Nelson and
his wife were members in good
standing Of the order, and this
week he received & check for 1000,

full OF the order.
One of the resorts in Wibaux
was the scene of terrific fight
Sunday night, one Of the partici-
pants being Beach man, who
had thumb and an ear nearly
chewed off by his antagonist, but
emerged from the fray the victor,
at that. An iron cuspidor played
an important part in the COM
bat. The most wonderful part
Of it all was that the Beach man
escaped incarceration in the
Wibaux "boobyhatch.' it being
the custom there to throw all out
siders in the city prison.
VIM. Woodruff had the mis-.
fortune to knock down little
cir! named Keller with his auto
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Wood
hull did his best to avoid hitting
the child, but the little one, after
being safely out Of the way,
darted back across the street, and
it was only by quick turn OF
the steering wheel that he missed
running over her. AS it was. she
was struck by the fender and
knocked fiat, escaping with
nothing more serious than g
bruise and a bad scare.
In attempting to destroy the
multitude OF Russian thistles
around the place this forenoon,
the women folks at w. w. Lar
sons nearly succeeded in burning
up the cosy cottage as we'll. The
thistles were as dry as powde,
and burned as though oiled. There
were lively times in that vicinity
for while, and some scared
women. too. This is good time
Of the year to be careful with
fires, as the grass and weeds arc
dry and burn readily, and it j:
easy to start something which
cannot be stopped.
The first carload of grain eve1
shipped from Medora was loaded

the spring plateau north o:
town was plowed up and sown t.
fax; the King Ellison brother!
threshed it Monday, and the cal
was shipped in care of Robinso,
& Hart. The yield was not large
owing to the lack of moisture
just under ten bushels an acre
but the quality was excellent
