Two COONS PLAY MUTT
and JEFF ON A farm
Especial to the 1rIbune)

ARTHUR, N. D., Aug 25.-The
farmyard on the farm of Enid Bletch-
er, two miles south of this city, was
the scene of a lively time yesterday
when two negroes from Fargo started
on the war path. The large man of
the two, Scar Faced Pete Thompson.
by name, has been employed on the
farm and things started when little
negro, with whom he had trouble in
Fargo met him.
The smaller negro drew a razor and
chased his enemy all over the place.
He finally ran for the wood pile and
seized a small hand ak and the chase
became turned about, the axman be.
ing the one on the offensive and the
razor blade the runner. The chase
kept up for an hour and led the two
over strip Of country of nearly a
mile in circumference.
Meanwhile the women on the
Bletcher place had locked the doors
and taken to the upper rooms. After
chasing his adversary off the farm,
Thompson returned ind raped loudly
on the door. When at last face an.
peared from second story window,
ne thanked her for the ak ana left the
premises. Officers had been notified
by telephone at Casselton at once and
deputy sheriff started for the scene,
but neither trouble maker was to be
found.

TEXAN D0DGES
A ME1EORI1E
(Snecial to the Tribunel

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 25.-
1t is not often that one has to dodge
a meteorite, yet such was the exper-
fence of Roland B. Smith, residing
near the Corpus Christi road about
three miles south of this city, few
days ago. Mr.. Smith and his wife
were sitting in their back yard just
after dark and were discussing the
unusual brilliancy of the heavens
Suddenly a speck appeared in the
sky. 1t grew larger and larger as it
approached, and finally a whirring
noise could be heard. In much less
time than it takes to tell it the ap-
preaching fire-ball, as it appeared to
be, struck a pile of dirt that had been
taken from a we'll, within less than
ten feet from where Davis and his
wife were sitting. Davis at once pro.
ceeded to investigate, and few inch
es under the surface found meteor
tie almost too warm to handle COM
fortably. The stone representing the
residue of a burned out planet or star
is a little more than two inches in
length and in shape resembles piece
of rope with a knot in it. The
meteorite has been shown to a. numebr
of scientists here and each pronounce
it genuine. Mr.. Smith declares, how
ever, that he does not care to be
bombarded again with celestial shot.

FOUND FISH THAT THRIVE
IN Devils LAKE Waters
THE ANNOUNCEMENT Feet ~ THE STATE UNIVERSITY
BRING JOY TO THE EARTs &oF THE DEVoTEEs OF
THE ROD AND REEL IN NOR TIL DAKOTA

An announcement that will be hail
ed with delight by the many followers
of LEAK Walton in the various parts
of this state and of the northwest
is that given by Dean M. A. Brannon
of the, State university to the effect
that at last after much experimental.
ton some fish have been found that
will live and thrive in the waters OF
Devils Lake. Pickerel, yellow perch
and big mouthed bass have all been
kept in the waters of North Dakota's,
inland sea for some time and they
are all thriving and doing we'll. The
fry that are being used in this exper-
iment were brought to the Biological
Station on the shores Of the lake
direct from the Turtle Mountains in
this state and so are already quite
well acclimated The waters of Devils
Lake are quite salty and most, forms
of aquatic life do not find this con-
genial environment. But if the pres
ent experiments prove to be an entire
success, and it seems quite probable
that they will, it will certainly prove
a boon to Devils Lake and to the
state as a whole and will serve as a
very concrete example of what may
result from careful, scientific study
of the many problems presented by
North Dakota conditions.
The past two summers since the
Biological Station, which is a branch
of the State University, was establish
ed have been busy ones. The station
staff and a number of advanced stu
dents who have been doing research
work have done a vast amount Of
work in the study of plant and ami !
NAL life and water conditions, not |
only in the Devils Lake district but in |
many other parts of the state. The
depths of various lakes and rivers !
was definitely ascertained and the
plant and animal life found in them |
was collected and classified and the
water itself was put through various |
tests to determine it's exact character !
and properties. A matter of consider. |!

I bodies of water. In spite of the fabu.
lous stories that had been circulated
in regard to the great depth of Devils
Lake it was found at the deepest
places that it did not measure over
30 feet. Stump Lake was found to be
few feet deeper than Devils Lake.
and many of the other lakes of the
state were found to be much shallow
er than was claimed for them.
1t is in the course of all this spe'
cial study and investigation that the
information developed that has made
it possible to put fish into Devils Lake
and get them to live. The station has
number of other problems under
way that will be carried forward &C.

winter and into next summer, though
Dean Brannon himself will be absent
from the state. He left Grand Forks
yesterday accompanied by his two
little girls in the care Of their aunt
and will proceed on to Chicago, where
he expects to remain for the coming
school year doing advanced research
work in the biological laboratories
that are connected with the Univers-
ity Of Chicago. His special field of
investigation will be along the line
of plant breeding and plant mOrph-
ology, with direct reference to the
biological problems that are present.
ed by the plant life of North Dakota.
Dean Brannon is enthusiastic over
the prospect of this very interesting
years work and over the oppoItuni-
ties that it will open up to him for
added usefulness and preparation for
the efficient service of the state. He
will be missed from the University
during the college year and the stu
dents, the alumni and all that wish
the institution we'll will be more than
glad when he returns next summer to
take up. his new duties as dean of the
College of Arts for no man on the
university staff is better fitted for
the position or enjoys wider or bet
ter deserved popularity among those
who come to know him personally and
officially than does Dean Melvin A.
Brannon.

SUSPICIOUS GREEKS
SHOOT STRANGER.
VICTIM IN THE HOSPITAL At
DEVILS LAKE AND MAY ~
DIE FROM WOUNDS
Greeks Had Suffered Petty 0epreda-
tions and Believed They Were Pro-
tecting Their Property When Shot
Was Fired.

Mike Burke, a transient who has
been employed in the harvest fields
near Warwick and who was bound for
Devils Lake, was shot full of holes
last evening. the calf Of his right leg
being peppered with shot, his as
sailant being an Italian employed on
the Great Northern section gang at
Toxic. Burke was taken to the hospi.
tai in this city, his condition being
very serious.
The affair started when Mr. Burke
and his companion became very dry
while walking down the track to this
city: They spied pail of water at
the door of one OF the cars which was
occupied by the Greeks and Italians
employed on the section. The two
stepped UP and had a drink when It
entered their minds tnat perhaps a
nights lodging could be secured in
che of the empty cars.
1t seems that the Greeks and Ital-
ians had suffered considerable o. late
through the loss of valuables, money
and clothing and were on the lookout
for any more similar occurrences. Ac-
cordingly when Mike Burke was about
to enter the empty car, one of the
Greeks pulled a shot gun and gave
Burke the full charge, the shot CATCH
ing him in the calf of the right leg.
Mr. Burke was cared for by his COM
panion and few Toxic people, until
the arrival of DR.. Mcintosh of Devils
Lake, who boarded freight train and
was on the scene at II o'clock, an
hour after the shooting occurred. Mr..
Burke was cared for as we'll as posi-
bile and was removed to the General
hospital in this city, at 6 o'clock this
morning.
So thoroughly punctured with shot
is the calf of Mr.. Burke's leg that his
condition is considered very serious
and with such great loss. of blood,
and the impossibility of getting out
the shot, which would leave his limb
hashed to pieces, that it is thought in
lection may set in, which might cause
the loss of life. There is no question
but what his right leg will have to
be amputated. He is suffering great
pain. The fact that Mr.. Burke was a
very heavy man, makes his condition
very much worse.
Sheriff Mclean notified Sheriff Tai
ly and States Attorney Shines of Ben
son county and they left Minnewauk-
an today to secure the Italian who did
the shooting. 1t has been impossible
to ascertain his name, but the guilty
man is still in Toxic.
Mike Burke and his companion
were innocent of committing any
crime, and from every indication the
men were not Of the usual hobo"
type, but rather of the hard working
class. They had intended coming d.
rect to Devils Lake last night, but as
it was 10 o'clock they thought that
an empty car would be a good place
in which to sleep, continuing their
journey IN the morning.

Back of every aviation contract

tiss achievements are the Arguments
that convince. Using the new model,
high powered Curtiss biplane, the SAT-

"Pins and Needless"

After being for long time in a con-
strained attitude peculiar numbness
and pricking is often felt in the arm,
leg or foot. This is caused by some
interruption to the circulation anf
can usuany be removed by rubbing O.
exercise.
The reason of the sensation. which
is decidedly uncomfortable while it
lasts, is that pressure for certain
length of time deadens the sensibil-
ity of nerve. When this pressure is
suddenly removed las Strengthening
out the leg after sitting with it don

gradually returns to the nerve, and
as each nerve-tiber composing the
trunk regains it's normal condition of
sensibility pricking sensation is felt,
