BRACE OF ACCIDENTS
At GRAND FORKS

GRAND FORKS. N. D.. July Is
Robert Coulter, aged about 60 years,
residing at 1434 Lewis Boulevard, is

of an accident which occurred shortly

the main entrance of the fair grounds

special train to the city was on it's
way to the fair grounds w;len H.
Cardin of Crookston, driving an au-
tomobile, license No. 81, the property
of DR.. G. j. Couvrette, tried to cross
the track ahead of the train. His
attempt was unsuccessful and the ma
chine was picked up by the engine
of the train and thrown about thirty
feet.
An examination of the injured man
failed to reeval any broken bones,
but he seems to be suffering from in
ternal injuries. Owing to his ad-
vanced age, it is feared that the acct
dent may result seriously.
Fred Bolack of Rye township, met
with very serious accident about 5
o'clock Wednesday afternoon when,
in attempting to stop his team of
horses attached to a moving machine
from running away, he was cut in the
right leg by the sickle bar.
Bolack was cutting hay near the
road across his fields when an auto
mobile party drove up and asked for
directions as to the correct road. He
stopped his team and went to the side
of the road to talk with the men.
The person driving the automobile
evidently thought that the horses
were not afraid of the automobile and
started the engine.
The animals, hearing the noise. be-
came frightened and started to run.
Bolack tried to stop them and in do
ing so got on the sickle bar side of
