PARTY we're ON
BRINK OF DEATH

Bowman Pioneer: ]. A. Sather had
some thrilling experiences in the Bad
Lands during the first part of the
week. Accompanied by two gentlemen
from saltwater he drove his car to
Dickinson, taking the train there for
Glendive. At Glendive they hired an
auto to take them across the country
to the line Of the Great Northern and
1t was during this trip that their ex-
citing experiences began.
Travelling at night they followed
what happened to be the road and all
though the grades seemed to be rather
steep in places, they kept right on GO
ing. Finally they came to a grade
which the car was unable to climb and
after repeated efforts, during which
the brake was broken and the car
sliding backwards down the hill, they
decided to stop for the night.
At daylight next morning, on climb
ing out of the car, they were startled
to find that they we're standing within
a few inches Of a deep precipice, down
which If the car had moved a few
inches either way they would have
been dashed to death. Part Of the
about noon found a rancher's house
where they procured something to
eat and some sandwiches to take back
to those who remained in the car.
They were driven back by another
rancher only to find that in their alb
sence, the driver OF the car in his ef-
forts to make the grade, had broken
an axle.
They then made arrangements with
the rancher to let them drive his team
to the nearest point on the railroad.
While on their way there however,
the team ran away, pitching them all
out OF the wagon, but luckily injur-
ing none of them seriously. They then
walked to town where Mr.. Sather
started by rail for home, arriving here
Thursday night without further acct
dent.

Towner News Tribune: North
Dakota is radiant with smile at
the present time at the crop pros
poets. which are admittedly Of the
finest, and when the returns from
the fields come In next fall, some
interesting figures will be avail
able that no doubt will serve to in
dictate that North Dakota is a pref
ty good state after all.
One of the Significant features
of the condition this year lis the
fact that the reports are 40 gem
orally favorable from every portion
Of the state. Everywhere there
has been a sufficient quantity of
moisture for the seasons growth;
farmers have sown their grain
well, and everywhere there Ii EVIL
dence to indicate that the results
have been beneficial.
Corn Is to be one Of the big
crops, as hardly county In the
| state has failed to report increas-
ed acreage of that cereal. This
Is true of the far western counties
as well as the other counties OF
! the east. There Is also reason to
believe that the AJAX acreage will
be smaller because OF the high
price OF seed this spring.

The baccalaureate sermon to the

noon at the college armory by DR..
Herbert WiIlett was very pleasing and
the masterful effort Of the eminent
pedagogue proved exceptionally help-

Rev. MIR. Sapp conducted the scrip

Professor Putnam and his musical ore

on the platform led the singing Of the
congregation.

be. can still only learn in part. He
spoke Of the fallacy Of the statement

his words were highly appreciated by
the older heads who listened as well as
Of exceptional value to the younger

were directed.
