SOME WHEAT IS SPROUT|NG
Claimed that Unusual Weather Con.
dition Has Brought About Such
SituatiOn

Reports that have been received in
the city during the last few days con-
corning the threshing conditions in
the state are not very encouraging. At
some points it IL claimed that wheat
has begun to sprout in the shock.
The Langdon Courier : Democrat
states the condition In that district as
follows:
"%Threshing weather this fall is the
greatest hinderance farmers have ex-
perienced during the crop season of
1911. Threshers in the vicinity of
Langdon report having run their ma

the week they started up again for

has done further injury to unthresh-
ed crops and delayed operations for
the greater part Of the present week.

SUES FOR $4,000
FOR BROKEN
Patient Declares That Ply
sician Was Negligent and
Incompetent

An action in which j. J. McCol-
Tough is suing DR.. Anton Flath Of
Churchs Ferry for $4,000 is being
tried at h district court today, the
charge being malpractice. The case
Is an unusual one and Is proving very
interesting.

broke his right arm below the elbow.
DE-. Anton Flath, the defendant in the
cas-. was called and set the bones.

Tough was under the care of the
physician for five weeks and that in
thai time the bones of his arm re-
fused 20 set properly. Mccullough
commenced action against DR.. Flath
and is suing for $4,000. claiming that
he has been rendered physically in
capable of any manual work.
DR.. Flath in the answer made to
the complaint. admits being called to
attend the injured man. admits set
ting the bone and claims that n
permanent injury. due to the break
that might be manifested. is the fault
of the plaintiff and is due to his own
negligence and carelessness.
1t is upon hat point that the argu-
ment hinges. Flath was put on the
stand for the plaintiff this morning,
but it is expected hat he will be re-
called later. j. Cogland. foreman on
the farm where Mccullough was
working at the time his arm was
broken. was the principal witness this
afternoon.
1t is expected that the case will
take up about two days. Judge Guy
c. H. Corliss is the attorney for DR..
Flath and Attorney w. j. Courtney
Of Page. N. D.. is handling the case
for the plaintiff.
