The home of Theo. Elarth, eleven

nine o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Elarth
had gone to Sawyer and Cecil John
son, lad who had been staying at
their home, had started for school.
Neighbors discovered the fire which
first appeared on the roof, but arrived
too late to put it out, or even to save
any Of the household effects When
Henry Book and James Wilson ar
rived, they smashed in window
hoping to save some Of the belong
ing but the flames ruched out. The
fire probably started from defective

of fine and valuable relics secured
in Japan, China, the Philippines and

Was Struck by 500 Train Near Ken

Lewis Johnson, wife and year old
babe all came near being instantly
killed in a railway accident at Ken
mare Monday afternoon. The John
sons who live at Norma, were on
their way to the hills to visit rela-
tives and were travelling in Gov
cred sleigh. They were in the act
of passing over Browns crossing near
Kenmare when the engine of the 500
passenger train No. 105 struck the
sleigh smashing it into kindling wood.
The occupants were thrown many
feet and is a wonder they were not
killed outright. Mrs. Johnson was
thrown distance of four rods to the
north of the track and she suffered
everal cuts on the face and arms.
The babe was sent flying thru the
air perhaps fifty feet farther, and
landed in a snow bank. The child
was scarcely injured at all Mr..
Johnson was thrown upon the pilot
Of the engine and he suffered badly
fractured leg, the bones being badly
splintered. Engineer Ferguson ap-
piled the emergency brake and bret
the train to stand still as soon -
possible. The injured persons were
taken into the train which backed
into Kenmare and they were taken
at once to the hospital. The train
was said to be going 20 miles an
hour. The engineer whistled, but the
sleigh was making 50 much noise on
the bare ground that Johnson did not
hear It.

affected by the disease Mr. Elsberry

that they are not going to contract
tuberculosis from using any of this

ranch near Burlington that will be
tested next week
Mr. Elsberry is taking every pre-
caution to give the citizens of Minot
the purest kind of milk and the fact
that out Of his entire herd not one
Of them showed any reaction speaks
we'll for his ability as a dairyman in
securing only high grade mich cows.

Editor Independent:

Editor independent:
wish to congratulate you on your
able editorial comment in the last is
sue Of the Independent" on. the Cat
tie tubercular law which introduced
last session. consider this a very i'm
portant matter and put in most Of
my time last winter On that bill and
when I started in with it 1 received
no encouragement, in fact was told
by nearly everyone that It would be
impossible to pass such a law during
that session and that the only thing
I could do would be to begin to agi-
tate it 30 it could be passed next
session and l am going to tell you
about some Of the red tape I had to
go thru In order to pass the bill.
At first I gathered up in the state
law library all the cattle tubercular
law in the United States hoping to
find one that could copy, but | was
unable to get one that was suitable
to our conditions, so had to draw up
bill that would be more suitable for
this state and I got DR.. Crew of Dev-
lis Lake, the state veterinarian. to
help me and after we had the bill
prepared it was necessary to develop
enough strength in it's favor to pass
II.
When the N. D. Live Stock asso-
citation met at Fargo I introduced a
resolution in the house that the
speaker appoint committee of three
to attend the convention, this resolu-
tons were passed in favor Of It.

GO A LITTLE SLOW.

Farmers should not be in too big

Of one Of these outfits. The INDIE

five or six farmers who could agree
would buy one Of these outfits to-
gether, It might not be bad idea.
Don't be in too big hurry to get rid

money to make the mare 50, . few
good mares will furnish you with the
money. The Independent 10 not dis

and the subject was brought up and .
legislative committee appointed Of
which l was made chairman and that
committee reported favorably On my
bill to the convention and the con-
vention passed resolutions favoring
the bill and urging its members to
write their various representatives
and senators to vote for it. All this
vas done before the bill was intro
duced and it passed both the house
and senate without a single amend
ment, although there were several
speeches made against it by some
members, for political reasons, best
known to themselves.
This law is not compulsory, but
each town can make it so by passing
an ordinance not allowing milk ped
Gled except from herds tested and
found free from tuberculosis. 1t is
the diseased dairy COWS that furnish
milk to the towns and cities that
spread the most disease and are the
most dangerous and each town or city
can protect itself from this danger.
I was a member of the house COM
mittee on live stock and helped frame
the new law regulating the importa-
ton of live stock into this state,
which makes It practically impossible
to import diseased stock. So in the
course of a few years we should, IN
der the present tubercular and CLAN
der laws, almost entirely stamp out
these two most dreaded and danger
GUS diseases among our domestic
animals.
