Return from Western Trip.

Thomas F. Marshall. accompanied by
H. A. Soule Of Cogswell, w. T..
Runals and F. w. Kingsbury, Of
Ripon, Wis, arrived in the city yes
terday from their trip to Spokane and
Winchester, Wash. The three latter
went on to Cogswell and will return to
Oakes today on some mattersof busi-
ness.
Mr.. Marshall is looking we'll. He
has been away from Oakes for three
and cne-half months, the longest he
has been away at q stretch since taking
up his residence here, with the excep-
tion of when he was in Washington as
congressman. He is greatly inn
pressed with that Spokane and Colum-
bia valley country in Washington.
That country he says is just on at the
edge of great boom, in fact it looks
as if there was some boom on the pre-
sent time. He said Elmer Mccartney
was working hard there on the or
chard tracts and had made much i'm
provement this summer. :
Mr.. Marshall had nothing much to
say on politics. II am going to help
the progressives organize the state, %
he said. There are any number of
candidates for state and congressional
positions, but I do not see the use Of
much thought Of candidates at the
present time. The thing to do now
is to carry. the primaries in March in
the presidential and national COM
mitteemen contest. There will be
time enough after that to look after
state affairs. l do not feel like en-
tering the contest for congress. I
have had eight years of that, and
that should be enough for one man. y

evening. He with DR.. Christensen and
Roy Casey went out about five o'clock
in the evening to the big slough for a
duck hunt. In going through bad
grade in the slough, the machine stuck
and Fred backed it. He thinks that
the severe strain must have cracked
the gasoline tank or the feed pipe lead
ing to it-anyway as he was about to
light the lamps the gasoline became
ignited and the machine was aflame in
an instant. All that was saved were
the front wheels and the wind blowing
the flame away from them was what
saved them. Fred had the machine
insured for 1920. SO the loss will not
be heavy.

DROWNED IN WELL.
seven-Year.0ld Boy Meets Death by
Falling in Well.

Jacob, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Aug
ust Martin Of Albertha township, fel
ina we'll on the home place Sunday af-
ternoon and death ensued before being
found.
Commissioner Wirch called Coroner
Boardman to the scene Monday, and he
left with Charley Moore by auto. They
returned the same evening and the cor
oner gives the following account of the
accident: The parents had gone to
church, and 4 brother.of deceased with
q boy companion had;gone to the we'll
for drink Of water. On reaching
there they found the rope broken (the
water was drawn by the pulley method,
a bucket suspended from each end Of
a rope) and on looking down saw the
boys cap in the water. Pulling the
rope the boys hand was seen to come
up with the lower bucket. The we'll
was eighteen feet deep and had about
Al feet of water. It is figured the lad
had been. in the water about three
hours when taken out.
Coroner Boardman did not hold an in
quest as the boy was alone when the

oner issued burial permit and the un-
fortunate one was buried in the family
burying ground near there. Deceased
