Spokane, WASH, Feb. 15.-Butter-
cups patrol of Troop of the girl
guides, the first of its kind in the Unit
ed States, has been organized in Spo-
kane by David w. Ferry, scoutmaster
of Troop I of the boy scouts Of Am
erica. The officers are: Leader, Mrs.
NJ. A. Hanson; captain, Audrey Bo-
than; corporal, Ethel Rhodes.
The patrol was organized on the
recommendation of Sir Robert S. S.
Baden Powell, organizer of the boy
scouts. and it is expected that the
movement will spread to all parts of
the United States and Canada. The
girl guides will be affiliated with the
boy scouts. Sir Robert says in letter
to Scoutmaster Ferry:
81 am delighted to hear that you are
taking up such useful work in the
States and that the boy scouts are al
ready on such a good footing for de-
velopment and efficiency and citizen
ship in Spokane. I inclose for your
information a small pamphlet regard
ing girl guides. Their handbook will
be published shortly, giving their train
ing in detail. This, as you see, is ar
ranged much on the same principles as
that of the scouting for boys. but de-
signed to teach the girls the more wo-
manly arts of nursing and housecraft.
Il hope that you will tell your boys
that l am delighted to hear how we'll
they are doing i'll Spokane, and I hope
they will not forget their brother scouts
in England and communicate with them
by picture postcards or otherwise, with

BILLINGS COUNTY
D|VISI0NCASES
TO Be CONTINUED
Especial To The Tribune.)

Dickinson, N. D.. Feb. 16.-Judge
Templeton of Grand Forks has ad-
journed court and returns home. 1t
is arranged that the final hearing in
the Billings county division cases
will be heard in Grand Forks some
time after the 18th of March. The
strongest point on which the creation
of Golden Valley and Slope counties
out of Billings county is fought is
the blanket sticker used on the bal.
lots. This point has never been
raised in the supreme court and it
is quite certain that the upper court
Of North Dakota will have chance
to pass on the question before the
close of the present year. Edward
Engerud of Fargo contends that the
use of blanket stickers was fatal to
the division proposition while George
Bangs Of Grand Forks argues that
their. use in wholesale way was
regular.

tracing crowds from all parts of

fact that the weather conditions we're
very bad the opening day, Saturday,

buyers from morning until night, and
the small army of clerks were taxed
to their utmost capacity to wait on
the people, Lancaster never saw
as many people at any sale, and The
Kelly sales people, who are conduct
ing the sale inform US that the days
receipts ran into several thousands of
dollars, which they say was certainly
gratifying, as it shows very plainly
that the people of Lancaster and sur
rounding country appreciate the
genuine bargains on everything that
prevails through the entire stock.
People came for miles who have never
traded in Lancaster before and went
home loaded with bundles. More
ex ira salespeople have been engaged
and the management assures everyone
of prompt and courteous service. The
sale continues for nine days more and

ALLOWED HIS TEAM
TO PASS OVER HIM
County Supt. Brockert Caught
in PeriIous Situation.
Threw Himself Under Horses Feet and
Was Run Over But Not Serious
ly Injured.

County Superintendent J. G.
Brockert passed through an experience
one day last week, which he will
long remember and which he does not
care to endure again. In accord with
his school work ne must make many
trips through the country, visiting
schools and giving school instructors
directions concerning the work. 1t
was while he was on one of these
trips that the thrilling accident
occurred MIR. Brockert left this city
in the morning and headed his team
toward Plattville A short distance
this side of that city he stopped at
country school house and made prepa
rations for feeding and watering his
horses. He had taken off the
brides and placed halters on the
horses and had only stepped IN front
Of them to tie them up, when the
team became frightened and started to
run. The driver having grip on
the halter straps. was held between
and horses, his body being partially
held up by the neck-yoke. He tried
in vain to stop the runaways which
were heading for barbed- wire fence.
AS the thoughts of being torn to
pieces by wire fence did not appeal
| to Mr.. Brockert and as he was unable
to stop the team he let his body drop
in front Of the horses. Both these and
the buggy went over him on through
the wire fence, still further and
through another fence and over an
EN- bankment Mr.. Brockert picked
himself up and managed to get to the
horses aud uuhitch them before any
great damage was done to the buggy.
It was certainly a miracle that he
was not killed. but aside from several
bad bruises and cuts about the chest
and back he is able to get around as
usual. Unassisted he hitched up the
team and drove to Platteville where
he made few repairs to the outfit
and came home Wednesday.

Explosion at WOodman.

When Mrs. Geo. Schuppner went
into the cellar of the Kelly & Schup
pner hardware store at Woodman
yesterday about noon with lighted
lamp. a terrific explosion occurred.
The building is lighted by gaso-
line system, and a leak in the pip es
must have filed the basement full of
the dangerous gas. The Schuppners
occupy a part of the structure as resi-
dence rooms, and Mrs. Shuppner was
after material with which to prepare
the MONDAY meal.
1t is miracle that she was not
killed outright. From all reports
her injuries consist only of painful
burns. Flames we're extinguished
quickly and medical attendance has
tily summoned from this city.
The force of the explosion nearly
wrecked the building, and the dam
age is difficult to estimate. -Boscobel
