|BIG PUNCH BOWL
FOR BAI1LESH|P
Woman Tells Of The PuDCh
Bowl That WILDE Presented
By The State !.

Lois Wilson Jellis of Brookings, s.
D., was in Chicago recently and while
there she had an opportunity to see
the punch bowl to be presented to the
battleship North Dakota, and she
writes the Tribune the following in
teresting description Of it:
THE magnificent silver punch bowl
presented by the state Of North Da-
kota to the battleshp named in her
honor is now on exhibition in the
great display window of Peacock's
jewelry emporium in Chicago. 1t is
a marvel of beauty and workmanship
which causes every ~passerby to pause
and admire. The first thing out an
exclamation OF delight is the unique
buffalo head handles, so perfect in
every detail that M almost listens
for the deep below to come from the
beautifully poised heads. Along the
side is carved in detail the picture Of
the great battleship, North Dakota,
and underneath is found the engrav-
ing of the presentation by the state of
North Dakota from which it takes it's
name. The bowl is oval, set on a
round stand, and is fully two feet
high, and will hold nearly, or quite,
sixteen quarts of the amber fluid for
which it is intended.
1T certainly is a fitting emblem
from the enterprising northwestern
state bearing its name, and fully out
classes any other punch bowl ever
presented to a great b%attleship.

marrow ESCAPE
FROM lightning


Beach Chronicle: Lightning struck
the large granary on the J. R. Smith
farm five miles southwest OF Beach
during the storm of Sunday nigh: :,
causing considerable damage to one
end of the building. Two men who
we're bunking in the upper floor were
not injured.
A rather remarkable circumstance
connected with the incident after
ward developed. The lower part of
the granary has been in use as a
blacksmith shop, while the upper part
served as sleeping quarters. 1t ap-
pears that the two hired men had
been in the habit of making up their
beds in the southeast corner of the
granary until Saturday when :hey
conceived the idea of moving their
bunk into the southwest corner which
accounts for their receiving no injury
when the lightning struck the build
ing. Had they been in che other cor
ner, without doubt the bolt would
have resulted fatally for both parties
as the interior was badly shattered
where the lightning followed the
studding to the grounds.

McClusky Gazetteer. T. Ruthven

Sunday, where the latter went to see
Dick Cook who is being treated at
the st. Alexius hospital in that city.
The boy is not improving, but 1t is
thought that another operation will
be beneficial. .,
At Bismarck the writer met q num-

state, among others being Warren A.

on The Bismarck Tribune and Jem

of Washburn and Turtle Lake. AT
Washburn We were entertained by

It is a one-story building with full

On the trip We met Ole Wing, for
merly county auditor of Mclean

The crops seen on the trip we're
the best the writer has ever seen
and while he Is not by any means a
crop expert he has seen crops in I'LL

good years. The only noticeable fault
is that the twine shortage has delay
ed cutting to an extent and there
we're a number of fields between
Washburn and Turtle Lake that were
markedly over-ripe. Nearer McClusky'
all grain seems latter and very few
over-ripe fields were seen. However,
the grain in the Washburn country
seems a trife better than in Sheridan
county, owing (the writer believes) to
the fact the farmers were able to Sc
cure a better grade of seed than many
Of the farmers in this neighborhood.
