Prize-Winning Flax.

Mail Carrier James Mcleod, OF
r. F. D. No. 5, brought to this
office. last Friday, sample of
flax that has got everything else
in the flax line beaten to a pulp,
according to the decision Of all
who have examined it. The
sample was taken from a field ON
the farm Of Andrew Rockstad
twelve miles west of Sisseton,
which was raised from seed
imported from Norway-at least
that's what Mcleod says. We
wouldn t say positively where the
original seed came from, but we
are free to state that the sample
submitted by Mcleod is entitled
to all the ribbons at the flax

WEALTH OF THE STATE.
Figures Compiled By State Audi.
tor Show a Good Increase,

Pierre, Sept. 1.-THE figures
complied on state valuations for
the present year show an in
crease in assessed valuation over
the figures of last year approx
mately $10,500,O00, which will
bring the assessed value of the
state up to almost three hundred
and fifty million dollars. Most of
the increase this year is in the
way of new real estate which has
been placed on the assessment
list for the first time.
The rest of it is scattered
among different classes OF
property, none of them showing
any marked increase, but all clas-
ses generally going a little high
er than for the year previous.

Young Codington County Farmer
Meets Death in a Horrible
Manner.

), Watertown, Sept. Z. Roy
florey, SON of Mike Florey, re-
SIDING ON farm one and a half
miles northwest of Henry met
with a terrible fate last FRIDAY
morning.
1t appears that the young man
was blowing with a six-horse team
on his fathers farm when tn
accident happened. In some man
ner the lines had gotten down be,
tween the horses and when he at
tempted to straighten the lines
out couple of colts which he
was driving on the plow became
frightened and started to run,
throwing him under the plow i'm
such a manner that one of the
plows caught HIM in the abdomen,
completely disemboweling him.
1t is said that it was one of the
most horrible accidents that has
occurred in this county for many
Years.
Physicians were summoned to
the scene aud everything possibl,
was dome to alleviate his suffer-
ing but he died where he was
found on the field. After his
death his body was removed to
his home.
He was aged about twenty-nint
years and was respected by all
who knew him.

Pioneer is Killed.

Pierre, Sept. IN. A. Jacobs,
an old time resident near Presho,
was killed by falling from a wag-
on which was being drawn by a
runaway team. His wife, who
was in the wagon, was seriously
injured, and two daughters, while
thrown out, suffered only slight
bruises. Just after the women
were thrown or jumped from the
wagon the pole dropped, and ran
into the ground, completely over
turning the whole outfit, and had
they remained in the wagon, all
would probably have been kill
ed.

of Gettysburg is the possessor Of
a silver-mounted saddle and bridl
which he took from the skeleton
of a horse in the sand at the
mauth Of Moreau river. The skele.
ton was clean and had evidently
been in the sand for long time,
but where the animal originally
got into the water can not be
learned. 1t might have been in
Moreau river or somewhere ON

place where the find was made
and the owner may have gone at

VERY CLOSE CALL
Maurice SCHNEIDER Dallies with
Death and Escapes with Hard
ly a Scratch.

Last Saturday afternoon a
farmer from out Ellington way
brought a 50-gallon gasoline tank
N to SCHNEIDER Bros. store and
asked to have it repaired right
away. Maurice SCHNEIDER, who
looks after this class OF work, was
just going out to the gun club
grounds and didn t want to tackle
the job, but the farmer was in
sistent, so Maurice grabbed the
bloWpot and proceeded to mend
the damaged tank. He was in
hurry and he didn t examine the
tank very closely to see if there
was gas in (which same haste
came very near resulting in his
undoing. Gasoline tanks, like
unloaded guns, are seldom en-
tirely empty-and this tank was
no exception to the rule. About
as soon as Maurice set the blow
pot on the tank and commenced
getting his soldering irons in
shape, the gas from the tank ignit-
ed, and the subsequent explosion
shook the town and put the fire
department on the jump. The
head of the tank that was upper
most, on which the blow-pot was
setting, blew out, sending the
blow-pot ceilward with such force
as to jar the rafters and tear a
great hole in the ceiling. Forum
ately for Maurice, the head of
the tank and the blow-pot both
missed him, but the flames from
the gas burned him about the
face, inflicting the most serious
injury to one of his eyes. The
burning gas also started a small
blaze in the store, but the Flames
were extinguished before the fire
department could arrive on the
scene. Altogether, it was a de-
cidely lucky accident; the damage
to Maurice. and the building
might easily have been irrepar-
able.

PLUCKs PROFIT
FROM WASTE
INVENTOR OF THE CRAVEN
TABLES HERE TO INSTALL
HIS BIG SAVING DEVICE IN
THE CONCENTATOR.

p. II. Craven, inventor of the
Craven tables for handling shines, a
number of which are being installed
in the concentrator, was an arrival In
the district this week and will remain
here until the tables are in operation.
Mr.. Craven was here early in the year
occupied at the big mill in demon
strating the worth of his slime tables
In saving values in the ores going out
with the tailings.
The perfection of this work
meant a big saving to the big COM
pany. and the operations were watch
ed with the greatest care. Other
processes had been introduced for the
same purposes but none of them ap-
preached the requirements of the
Craven table; SO naturally, the latter
were selected The inventor return
ed TO San Francisco to have the
tables constructed according to his
design; and eight of them have been
shipped in ahead of him. After
these are installed, more will follow.
