An Untimely Royal letter and the
Message It Conveyed.
One night at 8 o'clock the bishop Of
Orleans was reused by a royal cou-
rier who had In hot haste brought a
dispatch from mis- majesty louis XIV.
The bishop imagined that something
terrible bad happened. Tremblingly he
opened the package and read:
Monsieur the Bishop of Orleans MY
daughters wish for some preserved Or.
leans ounces. Pray send some. If
you have none beg that you will"-
In this part of the letter there was a
drawing of sedan chair. and under
meath the chair the kings letter con.
tinued thus:
"Send Immediately into your episco-
pal town and get them. and, monsieur
the bishop, may God have you In his
holy keeping. LOUIS"
Lower down on the page was this
postscript:
''The sedan chair does not mean any
thing. It was drawn by my daughter
on this sheet of paper. which I hap
pened to find near me-"
Greatly relieved. the bishop hurried
a courier into Orleans. procured the
preserves and sent them to his royal
master-Thomas d. Watson In 1.-The

A Hold un.

Jamestown, N. D., June 13.-Sat-
urday night an incident was pulled off
by two well known Jamestown citizens
which came near having more seri-
GUS termination than it did. w. b.
Default was going home about a.
m. after work at the office and to es-
cape rain that began falling he took
to the middle of the road on Fourth
avenue and ran towards his home a
short distance south on that street AS
he passed the hedge on the John
Knauf corner, some one ran out in the
street and directly towards him. The
two came together and Default not
recognizing his friend, John Henderson,
who was also running to escape a
wetting, struck him a heavy blow
across the neck with a cane. The blow
was sufficient to stun Mr.. Henderson
and rendered him for a short time
unable to speak He finally called out
to Default to return, having recognized
his voice. Henderson, in thee dark
ness had failed to see Default and
Default thinking he was about to be
held up, used his cane in self defense.
No serious injury was done, but it
might hayee been lots worse.

RECKLESS man
NEAR TO DEATH

Bismarck N. D., June 1s.--There is
a young man In Bismarck who will
not take the railroad bridge for a
public highway very soon. The young
man whose name cannot be learned
was at Mandan and as the ferry was
out OF order he took to the N. r.
bridge across the river as means Of
crossing the big muddy in an auto.
When he was half way across he dis
covered that a freight train was after
him. Had there been but one engine
the scare would not have been so
severe but "pusher" engine was he
hind and the head engineer got mix
ed on his signals and the rear engine
would not stop. The young man got
to the edge of the bridge just as the
engine was about to hit the auto and
he made a mad dash, with the auto,
off the track and down the embank-
ment, twenty feet.
Strange to say neither the auto nor
the driver was injured, aside from the
fright the man received.
