nv X M was a success
vi l. (Y in every parti-
(1~oo-M) cular. Almost
AG9G&4 all the entries
in the premium list were filled
with exhibits that could not be
beaten anywhere in the land,
and there was hardly a person
present but that was very much
surprised at the good showing
made. A number of people from
Minnesota and Iowa were here,
and many Of them remarked
that they would not have be-
lieved that things could be
raised in Burke county like the
exhibits shown unless they had
seen them with their own eyes.
No one was more surprised than
Prof. Worst of the North Dako-
ia Agricultural College, who has
attended over half of the fairs in
the state. and has seen some
mighty good exhibits in his con-
nection with the college, and he
stated that he had not seen any,
thing that excelled the showing
made at Bowbells.
Although the crowd the first
day was quite large and a regu-
lar program had been arranged
for both days, the track was not
in fit condition to pull off any
races, and the afternoon was
taken up in exhibits and getting
things arranged for the follow
ing day, when the crowd trebled
several times. The track had
dried up sufficiently the second
day for races, and the contests
scheduled for both days were
put on that afternoon.
Immediately after the crowd
gathered at the fair grounds in
the afternoon OF the scond day,
Prof. Worst was introduced to
the crowd, and he made his ad-
dress on ''Some Preventable
Causes of Crop Failures. This
address lasted for over an hour
and a half, and those present
took such interest in what was
said that none stirred from their
seats until it was over with.
Next came the races, and they
were races, and were real inter-
esting. None were made up,
but every entryman did his best
to win and every race was
watched with much enthusiasm
from start to finish. Most of
the horses racing were green at
the business and made some bad
errors, but this only added to the
interest of the spectators. The
automobile race was very excit-
ing and created much enthus-
iasm among the crowd, it being
the first race Of it's kind that
many had seen. Following is
the result Of all the races held:

PASSENGER TRAIN
CRASHES INTO WAGON
Two Badly Injured. One Probably
Fatally.

Two Badly Injured. One Probabl,
Fatally.
Arthur Linard, aged ID years, was
seriously, probably fatally, injured,
and his brother, Homer, aged "a, was
badly cut and bruised Monday after
noon when the southbound Mo.
Pacific passenger, due here at 1915
crashed into their wagon, as they at
tempted to cross the railway tracks at
the crossing just north Of the depot.
The young men were unable to see
the approaching passenger train on
account of the south bound local
freight which had pulled in just
head of the passenger, and had run
onto the pass track, making a cut on
the crossing wide enough for team
to pass through, and anticipating no
danger, they drove their team upon
the track.
The engine struck the wagon just
ahead of the rear standard, breaking
the coupling pole and releasing the
horses, which dragging the front
wheels managed to get across in
safety. The wagon box, which was
carrying double sideboards, was hurl-
ed into the air and lodged upon the
pilot of the engine. The young men
were thrown out, Arthur alighting
within a few feet of the crossing, and
Homer was hurled about 40 feet.
The young men were taken into the
waiting rooms and given treatment
by DR.. T. w. Foster and DR.. E. N.
Chastain, who happened to be at the
depot. DR.. T. C. Boulware, the COM
pany physician, was Immediately sent
for. After their wounds were dress
ed the young men were taken to the
Foster Hotel.
Both received numerous cuts and
bruises, and Arthur, the younger, is
thought to be injured internally.
The young men are sons of w. S.
Linard of north of this city.
