FORTUNATE BLOW
SAVED HIS LIFE

jamestown, N. D., Sept. 11.-Peter
Baker probably owes the fact of his
existence today to a fortunate blow
struck Monday night when he was
held up just west of the Tenth ave-
nue. bridge.
Baker was accosted by a couple of
men who asked him to take a drink.
linen they offered to sell him a pint
or liquor for 81 and when the
dollar was produced Baker was grab
ped by the collar, a gun poked in his
race n he was ordered to give up
his money. At this psychological mo-
ment the highway mans revolver was
struck, knocking out the cylinder and
rendering the weapon useless. The
highwayman continued to pull the
trigger and was surprised to find
his gun useless.
Baker made his escape, notified
the police and with Sheriff Romer
went to the scene of the hoId-ur
where they found the highwaymen by
the river fast asleep in a drunken
stupor. The next morning they tol6

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST

caught around the shaft, and before
the engine could be stopped by the
fireman, every bit Of the unfortunate
mans clothing was torn off him.
Those who rushed to his assistance
were surprised to find him alive, but
he never lost consciousness n was
carried to the Moylan house. DR..
Roberts was hastily summoned. After
a careful examination, 1t was found
that no bones were broken, and as
far as could be a~scertained at that
time, there were no internal injuries.
The most painful wound Mr. Baker
received was, on his left leg Just above
the knee. 1t is supposed that a bolt
struck him there and inflicted q
wound clear to the bone. He also
received a bad bruise across the fore
head, and there are but few places
on the limbs and body that are
not more or less bruised.
DIR. Roberts reports his patient get
ting along as well as could be expect
ed, and that Mr.. Baker will fully re-
cover, although it will take some time.
The clothing Of Mr.. Baker was
brought into the Cando Implement
Co.'S office, and, anyone seeing those,
wonders how the man ever escaped
death. His Jacket, overalls, trousers,
shirt and underwear, are torn into
small fragments, so small that they
couldn't be used for patchwork.
Roscoe has a host of friends who
are, indeed, sorry he met with such
an accident, but all are anxiousIy in
quiring every day as to his progress
toward recovery, which they all hope
will be speedy.

DETAILS Of The
RAMSEY CO.. STORM

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 11.-One
hundred thousand dollars will hardly
cove the property damage as a result
of Saturday nights tornado which
swept through four townships Of Ram
sey county according to A. M. Powell,
an insurance man of this city, who
his afternoon returned from the dis
trict visited by the storm. Mr.. Powell
says that the loss on buildings will be
heavy but will be exceeded by the
greater loss on the crops in shocks.
Eleven persons who narrowly es-
capped death were slightly injured in
the tornado, and, with two others, had
the most thrilling experience of their
lives when the storm picked UP their
cook car in which they were eating
supper on the farm of Ed Olson in
Cleveland township, turned it around
four times and carried it 1875 feet
across the field.a Nine of the men and
the two women cooks in the crew were
slightly injured. Two Of the men es-
capped without so much as a scratch.
The car was set down in the field right
side up. A fire was burning in the
stove and water boiling in a kettle.
One of the women had predicted
trouble when the crew of thirteen sat
down to the table. She said the I'M
lucky number had always been her
hoodoo.
Mr.. Powell also tells of other freak
performances occurring during the
tornado. A machine shed, 32x64 feet
in size was lifted off the foundation
to a height of about twenty-five feet
on one side while the other side Of the
building was raised less than five feet.
All sides of the big Lutheran church
in Cleveland township, he says, were
bulged out, but the window glass in
the building was not even cracked. All
the furniture in the ediice was de-
stroyed, but the organ was not touch
ed. It was reported yesterday that
the entire church had been demolished.
w. e. Goose of Starkweather says
that he saw the storm coming and
tried to get his horses out Of the barn,
fearing that the building would be
blown down. He said the storm first
came from the east and then from the
south, finally forming the tornado ov-
er his farm. Just as he buried his
face in the stubble one of his hay
racks flew over his head and crashed
to the ground a short distance from
where he lay.
Superintendent of Schools Haig of
this city lost nine valuable horses and
a large quantity of grain in the shock.
John Laird of Cleveland township is
another victim of the storm who re-
ported heavy damage today.

Horse river and the famous Rocky
Kicking Horse on the mountain side.
At Glacier, we are going down the

but here we view the most wonderful

Rivers, lakes and springs are as
common in the mountains as on the
plains, but the lakes are Of deeper
dye, and the rivers are often rapid.
Trains often run through tunnels and
deep gorges, owe canyons and UP and
