A YOUNG DUNN co. MAN
DIES FROM HIS INJURIES

Stephen Kolesnik. the eiehteen-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Kolesnik.
who live two miles north of Manning,
met with what proved to be a fatal
accident at the farm of Georae Ham,
mond. northwest of Oakdale. on Wednes-
day of last week. The young man was
employed as farm hand at the Ham
mond home and was doing the chores
around the barn in the evening while
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond were away
attending the funeral of c. F. Renshaw.
He was leading yearling colt to the
barn and when the colt. pulled back the
young man made an attempt to hit him
with the halter rope, the colt turned and
kicked him heavy blow in the abdo-
men. He walked to the house and made
himself as comfortable as possible and
stayed alone for four days before assist
ance arrived, suffering intense agony.
Arlie Renshaw came to the place Sum-
day and found Kolesnik. and he was
later removed to the home of his par
ents north of Manning. A physician
was called but complications had set in
and nothing could be done for him. He
died on Monday about the noon hour,
but was conscious and was able to tell
the facts as above stated. His death
resulted from acute peritonitis. caused
by muscular rupture of the bowels.
Mr.. Hammond felt perfectly safe in
leaving young Kolesnik in charge of the
place while himself and family were
away for few days, as he was very
intelligent and a faithful employee.
The accident happened the day of theil
departure and he was unable to helr
himself in any way until assistance
arrived.
Funeral services were held at the
Kolesnik home on Tuesday and th'
remains inferred on the homestead

ANAuAl APPROXIMATION
wREckLEss AUTO DRIVERS

The ity council had hard work to get
quorum Tuesday might but finally sue
ceeded and the aldermen went through
the usual routine of work.
A request from the Merchants Associ-
alton for two stand pipes, one east and
one west, for sprinkline. was placed on
file.
The traction engine ordinance was
laid over until next meetiae i'm order to
amend so as to to include the ibridge
across the river in South Dickinson. In
reality the ordnance is in force and
traction engine men had better look orl
and find what is the proper th ing to dc
when moving their machines.
Reading of proposed automobile
ordinance. as result of the coroner {
resolution last week. brought forth 9
spirited discussion. Alderman Beres
did not like the practice of lining up
autos on the street SO that sprinkliae
could not be properly done. but was in
formed by Mayor johnson that this abuse
had been corrected. Alderman White
thought there were plenty of parties
operating machines without license; he
said further that driving had become so
fast and wreckless on the streets that he
was actually afraid and would not
attempt to run his auto after dark in
Dickinson. Alderman Maser spoke feel
inely Of the disregard many drivers have
Of the general safety Of people. includ-
ing several phyaicians, and he also cited
the fact that probably but one Of six or
eight lady drivers had license.
Mayor johnson and others did not
like the proposed ordinance and it was
not considered. It seemed to: be the
opinion Of the council that the present
auto ordinance was good enough in all
reapects il itswas only enforced
The annual tax levy was next consid-
erred. Last year the city valuation
was returned al $500, 504: this year the
state board reduced the city assessment
s.. 900 or $4,000. returning it at $s42, :
901. This. however. does not include
the railroad assessment which will
likely bring the grand total up to about
5000. 600.
The city needs are about as follows
Park maintenance. $500: interest on
Indebtedness. $4,000: sinking fund.

disappointed this year. 1t rained so
hard Tuesday and Wednesday that no
one thought of driving into the country.
1t was little better on Thursday. the
day when the chicken season opened,
and 80 the hunters had to content them
selves as best they could at home. In
fact, it will be some days before parties
in autos can get out with any comfort.
: E. ]. Huehes, deputy state game war
den for six counties in the southwestern
portion of the state, is we'll pleased
with the way hunters have obeyed the
law this season. OF course there are
always people who think that some one
has been killing chickens out of season
but when you aak these parties for names
of violators of the law, they tell yea
right away that 1t was 80 reported by
some one, but they have no definite
knowledge that such are the facts.
Among the Deputies which Mr..
Hughes has appointed ia Stark county

years, estimates that the company will
declare a 20 per cent dividend on its

hard matter to dispose of the remaining

2.39 INCHES
RAINFALL
All Records Broken for Septem-
Der Moisture. Good Flowing
Again. sleet in Canada.
Colder Here.

A fall of 7.39 inches of rain for the 5th,
9Th and 7th freaks all previous records
for September moisture, and is twice as
much a. the record fall Of 1905. This
rain SET IN abouts O'Clock the night Of
the 5th, following three days Of wind and
damp. threatening weather. At 8
o'cleck in the morning 1867 inches of
rain had fallen and at the noon obser-
vation of the government gauge at the
Dickinson experiment station the record
was 1872 inches. At sun down the
record was 2.08 inches and the rain
Wednesday night and Thursday brought
uhe. total precipitation up to 2.39 inches.
The rain was general over the North
west, starting in Mime sofa on Monday
and making it very disaereeable for the
opening of the state fair. It rained in
Montana on Tuesday and when the
weather man got started here he made
up for lost time.
The previous big September record for
single rainfall in this part of the state
was on September 80, 1905, when 1. IL
inches was recorded. At that time the
rain did not extend much east of Bis
marck. The total for September, 1905,
was 2. O6 inches.
The total rainfall for the year 1911, up
to the present time, is 1873 inches and
the normal rainfall for the same period
Is fraction over IL inches. Thus j.
will be seen that we are very close to
normal now. The normal fall fol
September is 1.04 inches; for October.
10 inches, for November .56 inches and
for December .48 inches. The yearly
normal rainfall covering peried of u
years is is. II inches.
The October record d-breaker occurred in
1908. on the 10Th and 10th, when l.5z
inches of rain fell. This was preceding
the bumper crop year Of 1909.
