are reported as result of heavy
rains. Two persons. whose names
have not been learned, are reported
drowned. The Curtis. the Smith and
the Meyers reservoirs, near Gardner,
each of which impounds over 100000
900 gallons of water, have been totally
destroyed. The damage to farms
caused by the waters of the Huerfano
river and other streams is thousands
of dollars.
The country about Gardner is very
sparsely settled, and to this fact can
be attributed the small number of
lives lost and the fact that greater
damage was not done.
Miles and miles of rich acres in the
Huerfano valley were swept over, and
where the land. houses and haystacks
were not carried away, soil was left
in ridges and burrows, destroying the
value of the land. Haystacks, barns
and outhouses were swept away
from several ranches. In many of the
ranch houses the water is two or three
feet deep, and women were rescued
by horsemen.

DAVE Lands FIGURES
IN A RUNAWAY
Four Horses Hitched to Bin
der Race Across Fields
Without Much Damage

N. G.. Auckerman, the water
and milk man, but who never
mixes his wares, told The Tri-
bune about a runaway that took
place near his farm Tuesday in
which Dave Lands and his four
horses hitched to a binder acted
the principal part. Dave left
home with the outfit and was on
his way to the Carey farm about
a mile east of the city where he
intended to do some cutting. In
order to save time he went
through the Auckerman pasture
instead of going around and just
as he had gone through the gate
near the cemetary and left his
horses for a minute while he shut
the gate, a team went by on the
road at a pretty good clip. The
team on the road started Dawes
outfit before he could get ahold
of the lines and Mr.. Auckerman
says the way the horses and
binder went over the fields
wasn't slow. Some people in the
city who were told of the affair
suggested that if Dave wasn't
so heavy he might have caught
the lines before the horses start
ed. Anyway after running ab-
out eighty rods the horses and
binder got as far as the barn Of
Frank Lands and there one of
the horses fell and the whole
cheese shopped. The horse
that fell was injured some by
the guards of the sicle and the
binder was damaged to some
extent, but otherwise no damage
was done.

The Tribune's old friend Louis
Nelson, one of the earliest set
tiers in the great Bowbe]ls coun-
try residing on the quarter home
steaded by him two miles west
Niobe, was in the city Wednes-
day morning on business mat
ters, and paid this Office a call.
Mr.. Nelson's crop this year, like
all the rest in that neighborhood
amounted to practically nothing,
all grain having been killed out
by drouth and Russian thistles.
He told US that all he got of
from his entire quarter was
three loads of bundles of wheat
which he was going to use for
feed, and that all the farmers in
the vicinity of his farm would
be compelled to buy almost all
the feed required to keep their
live stock from now until another
crop was harvested.
Attorney Dorr R. Carol of
Minot was in the city the fore
part of the week attending
court.

ed at the office Of The county

:CREMATES SELF
!. AND SIX CHILDREN
Insane Mother Burns Herself
and Children to Death
!: Near Braddok, N. D.

Braddock, N. D., Oct, 23-In
the absence Of her husband, who
was working in the field, Mrs.
AXel johnson, wife Of prosper
Gus and we'll known farmer, liv-
ing. eight miles northeast of
here, near Pursian Lake, today
deliberately burned to death her.
self and six small children. 1t is
believed that in a fit of tempor-
ary' insanity, Mrs. Johnson
locked the doors of her house,
nailed down the windows, then,
after barricading the doors and
windows and saturating the in
terror with oil, set fire to the
building before her husband and
neighbors reached the scene.
The mother and babies were
found under the smouldering
mass, evidently where they had
huddled in the corner Of the liv-
ing room, where they met death.
DR.. Lodge, coroner of Kidder
county, was notified and is MAX
ing; a thorough examination lead
ing up to the facts of the trage-
dy. Indications point to suicide
and murder on the part of the
woman, as when Mr.. Johnson
and neighbors arrived at the
burning house from the field,
from which the flames we're
seen, it was found that the doors
and windows had been fastened
from the inside and furniture
piled against the openings. Mr..
johnson had gone to the field to
work and left the entire family
at # home, and saw the flames
from the house.
Tine neighbors also saw the
flames and rushed to the house,
only to find the doors and WIN
doWs barred. By the time they
could get into the houte only the
'ckafred remains the bodies
were found. There is no mo-
tive, aside from temporary in
sanity, brought out.
The Johnsons were fairly we'll

to do farmers and had lived at
their present home about four
years. The bodies have not been
removed from the farm as yet.
The husband is almost frantic
with grief and fears are enter
tanned for his sanity. He in an
incoherent manner told friends
and neighbors, who gathered
about the ruins Of his home, that
he had no trouble with his wife,
and that when he departed for
the field he was as happy as
could be. The wife, to his
knowledge had never before ex-
hibited any sign Of insanity.
The affair is one Of the saddest
tragedies ever enacted in west
ern North Dakota.

There is covey of about II
chickens on the Martin German
farm short distance southwest
of the city which no one with a
gun has so far been able to find.
though many local nimrods have
been out there several times with
bird dogs and covered a lot of
ground. The covey was first
seen before the season opened
and has since then been seen by
various people always near the
same spot but whenever anyone
went out to look for them they
were not to be found. Mr.. Cor
man told The Tribune Tuesday
evening that he had flushed the
bunch again the day before
while cutting oats and that they
were as tame as they were be-
fore the season opened. AS the
chicken season closes in a few
days it is very likely that this
covey will live through until
next year unharmed. s.@
The Ladies of the Presbyterian
church will serve chicken pie
supper and hold their annual
sale in the Presbyterian church
on Thurs. Nov. the 2, the sale
beginning at 2P. M. while the
supper will be served later. We

LOVE IND THE AERoPLANE
Some Good Advice for Those Daring
Mortals Who Would Pc Their
Counting Aloft.

Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and
place in It an old-fashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in. get
in yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be in any hurry. Get far
enough up SO that you can be preoc-
cupied for a few moments without
landing.
1t is just as well to strap the girl
in. She can't get away, Of course, but
you can kiss girl in an aeroplane
much easier II she is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
ing apparatus and the other on the
girl; but II worst comes to worst, let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, II adhered
to. will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet up. hold girls
hand.
Six hundred feet up, arm around her
waist
Seven hundred feet, drop everything
and hold girl, working steering appa-
ratus with both feet
Be careful, when you alight, not to
come down near q church. In the ex.
element Of the occasion you may for.
get yourself and marry the girl
Many fatal accidents have resulted in
this manner.-Puck.

FLAX IS PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition u
Western Canadian Prairles.

So much is heard of the wheat. oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and SO much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising Of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains. that q
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise US that on one Of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
lat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241,000 bushels Of
fax valued at $5S3,220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
288, 900 bushels valued at $4,000.
There has been q big demand for Ca
madam fax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
Is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land. the
chance he is looking for. There Is
opportunity for thousands yet. on the
free homesteads Of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance Of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display Of western Canada's
grains In the straw as well a.
threshsd grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration Of what the country can
DO. It proved splendid as an illustration
Of the resources Of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro
duce excellent yields Of wheat, oats
and barley-and hax. Not only this.
