HAD NARROW ESCAPE
FROM INSTANT D tn
Supposed He Was Walking on
Side Track---Struck by 500
North Bound Freight

Minot, N. D., Nov. 4.-Roy Gray
son, formerly resident of this city,
but who recently has been living at
Drake, had miraculous = escape
from instant death last night when
he was run down by a north bound
500 freight train. The accident oc-
Cured between 500 and $50
O'Clock on the 500 tracks at the rear
of ]. G.. Smallwood's residence on
Valley street.
Walter Smallwood, the young son
of ]. C. Smallwood, was sitting read
ing in the house when the accident
occurred. He had heard the train
approaching and all at once he
heard sharp cry. Running to the
door he heard cries of help coming
from The direction of the tracks
He notified his faher that man
had been run over and after noti-
flying the police Mr.. Smallwood
rushed to the injured mans assis-
tance.
In the meantime the train crew
had discovered the accident and
had brought the train to stop.
The man was found lying in the
ditch, having been thrown down the
steep embankment.> It was appar-
ent that the man had been badly
hurt and he was suffering intense
ly. Owing to the. delay in secur-
ing an ambulance, the man was
placed on an improvised stretcher
and removed to the hospital, where
a physician was summoned. 1t was
found that both legs had been brok-
en- and were badly bruised, but the
bones were set and it is believed
that the man will not lose the
limbs. According to the reports
from the hospital today he is rest
ing easily and will undoubtedly re-
cover. ..
Grayson had been visiting with
some friends on Valley street and
desiring to take a shortcut" to
town, walked down the tracks.
He supposed. according to the story
he told at the hospital, that he was
on side-track. and did not pay any
attention to the approaching train
until it was too late to avoid be-
ing struck. KS Il 4 NJ
Grayson, who is about twenty-sev-
en- years of age, has a wife at Drake
who has been notified of the acci-
dent. M: s5

BIG SUCCESS WITH
BAND OF SHEEP
Wells County Farmer Demon
strates Small Flock May
Increase Farm Profits

Harvey, N. D., Nov. THE gen.
eral admonition to raise sheep. re-
peated often in many agricultural
journals, has. as rule. been largely
disregarded by North Dakota far
mers.
With view of showing what may
be done in this line, a brief sum-
marizing by farmer in local terri
tory will doubtless prove OF interest
to farmer readers and give them an
insight into the possibilities OF pro-
fit that may be gained from small
flock of sheep on the average farm.
Mr.. Micheal Baier, Sr., who lives
II miles south CT HA'vey. has found
sheep raising profitable side line
in his farming operations for the
past 10 years. In the spring of
1912 he had 28 ewes, and from
them he raised 27 lambs. There
is no way of estimating accurately
the cost Of the keeping OF these
sheep, as the most of the feed con-
sumed by them was such that 9TH
erwise would have been wasted.
They were wintered on the stubble
fields until snow came, and then fed
corn fodder, millet and hay.
About ten acres of pasture has sup
piled their summer wants, and
scarcely any grain has ever been
fed them.
The cash return from this small
flock has we'll paid the owner for
the feed and care during the pres
ent year, which is but a sample of
the general run. The ewes clipped
IL pounds of wool each, and as
wool was cheap this year. Is cents
per pound, the income from the clip
was $76. The 27 lambs figured at
the farmers prise. very fair one.
are worth IS each. The income
from these lambs, had they been
sold, would have been &135. This
an addition to the profit column in
farming we'll worth considering, esr.
pecially when taking into consider
at4n the amount of the investment;
The lambs have not yet been sold.
Some OF them have been used for
home consumption. A lamb fmakes
an excellent article of food and far
mers could use mutton In the fall
for two or three months until the
weather is cold enough for pork,
and as mutton is easier kept than
pork, little difficulty will be exper-
fenced in keeping it.
If the lambs are used for the
home table they are worth at least
as much as the price above stated.
If they are kept to be fattaned on
grain for the market, they will
still be worth the IS each by N0v.1::
No high priced rams have been used
and no extra care has been given
this flock. The conditions could be
very easily duplicated on every farm
in Wells county. Think about
keeping few sheep, both 5as =
source of meat in the fall, and mon
ey in the spring. Try 1.-THE In
vestment is small, and the returns
certain.

M|NOT HOTEL SCENE
OF BOLD H0LO.UP
Victim Attacked by Two Men
In Own Room, and Re-
lieved of His Money

Minot, N. d., Nov. "A daring
holdup occurred at the Lexington
hotel last Saturday night when Jo-
seph MAIDEN, harvest hand, was
relieved of $40.
The victim had gone to his room
from the hotel office and was search
ing for his door in the dark corri-
dor. Meeting two other men in the
hall he asked hem for directions.
The two volunteered to show him
to. his room, and on reaching it en-
tered with him.
AS the door closed one man
grasped MAIDEN from behind around
the throat and threw him on the
bed while the other pointed a re-
volver at him and went through his
pockets. e"
They then made good their escape.
The victim was partly dazed and
was unable to give the alarm for
several minutes. He then sum-
moned the police.
Elmer Smith, chief of police, is
investigating the case, but as only
the vaguest description has been OBJ
tanned of the two robbers It is felt
that there Is little chance Of finding
them.
O.. A. Olson, proprietor of the Lex
ington said today that he did not
believe that any robbery had ac-
tually taken place. The police,
however. believe Naden's story,

opponent 353. Hagen ran we'll all
over the county and will be our
next treasurer.
OF all the candidates running
Dickson Stainhofer received more
votes than did anyone else in this
county. He received 635 votes
while his opponent got 3O7. Mr..
Stainhofer has made an excellent
sheriff since he has held the office,
and the voters are showing him
that his efforts are being appre-
ciated. These figures are the vote
with six precincts yet to hear from.
w. c. Martin beat his socialist
opponent, r. A. Owings, with six
precincts to hear from to a tune of
SIS to $50. 1t is not believed that
the figures will be changed much
after all the precincts are in.
H. A. Hanson of Powers Lake,
having no opposition, of course had
a walk away. He received all votes
cast with the exception of a few
scattering ones.
F, F. Carter will succeed him
self as county judge of Burke coun-
ty, having won out against Martini
us Dahl by a vote of 518 to $50,
with six precincts to hear from.
Jim Uglum received 29O votes
for register of deeds, Geo. Hanson
496 and c. H. Lien 312 with six
precincts to come in Mr.. Han
sons majority is so great that his
opponents cannot hope to overcome
it. =.
County Superintendent c. H.
Hecht is 1877 votes ahead of his op-
ponent with six precincts yet to be
heard from, and is on the safe
side with hundred votes to spare.
He received $50 votes, and his OPP
ponent 1858.
Although we will not be able to
learn just what the vote on in
creased jurisdiction is until the
canvassing board announce the re-
suit, it is generally believed that
the proposition lost out. 1t car
ried in Bowbells and several other
precincts, but reports indicate that
in many precincts the vote was very
strong against it.

STEFONOW|Cz BUYS
CITY ORAY LINE
A. H. Miller Disposes of Hor-
ses, Wagons and Good
Will to Local Man

On Thursday evening of last week
A. H. Miller, who for the past few
years has conducted the City Dray
and Transfer Line in this city, for
time in partnership with Charles
Frank, and later in partnership with
his son, sold the entire business, in
Guiding the horses, wagons and good
will to S. A. Stefonowicz of this
city who for the past two years has
been employed as harness and shoe
maker at the Endreson shop. Mr..
Stefonowicz took charge of the bus
mess on Friday morning of last
week, and we learn that since max
ing the deal has formed a partner
ship with Albert Corey.
We doubt if there ever was bet
ter dray man in the entire North
west than Mr.. Miller proved to be
while he conducted the business
here. If there is or was Bowbells
people won't admit it. A more ac-
commodating, more dependable, a
more honest and energetic business
man would be hard to find any
where on the face of the earth.
Bowbells people all knew of Mr.. Mil
ler's qualities and he had the bus
mess. The news of his dropping
out at this time will be received with
much regret by US all. Mr.. Miller
is not decided as to what he will 60
into in the future, but for the pres
ent will continue to haul oil for the
Standard Oil Co. and look after his
collections. He, however, promises
to stay in Bowbells no matter what
business he decides on going into.
Mr.. Stefonowicz is also a very de-
pendable man, and this business is
not new to him. For four years he
worked on a dray and transfer line
at Candy, Minn., and while there
won the patronage of almost every
person in the city who had any
hauling to do. He will make good
here, and we predict that after he
gets things lined up he will enjoy
just as big a business as did his

M|NOT POLICE CAP:
TURE ELoPERs
Seventeen Year Old Wife
Runs Away from Her Hus-
band Last Week ..

Minot, N. D., Nov. 2.-Glen Da-
Wis, rs, and Mrs. Clara Bigler, II,
both of Cando, were arrested in a
Minot rooming house Thursday
night by Patrolman John Reed at
the request of Elmer Bigler, also
Of Cando, the husband of the woman
who claimed that Davis had run
away with his wife.
Bigler claimed that he had been
working in Montana on a threshing
crew and that on his return to Can
do a few days ago he found that his
wife had run away with Davis.
He followed the couple to Devils
Lake, and then to Minot, where
they had arrived Wednesday night
Patrolman Reed had seen the couple
get off the train here, and thinking
at the time that they looked .suspi-
cious, had followed them and was
thus able to locate them at once.
The two were arraigned in police
court this morning before -. Judge
VILLAIN Murray. At Bigler's re-
quest the charge against his wife
was dismissed, and she was put in
charge of her mother, Mrs. Addie
Tyler, of Cando, with whom she re-
turned home.
Davis is charged with a statutory
offense. He admitted his guilt in
police court this morning, and was
held to the district court under bail
of $1,000.
The police believe that Davis is al
so wanted by the Cando authorities,
who say that he was implicated in a
Jail delivery which took place there
short time ago.

DOUBLE MURDER
At DAWs0N,N. D.
Geo. w. Baker Shoots Wife
and Father-in-L n-LaW--Claims
Selt-Defense 49,.

Dawson, N. D., Oct. 31.-George
W.. Baker, aged 81, shot and killed
his wife and father-in-law, T. E.
Glass, between and o'clock this
morning at the Glass residence in
this city. The Bakers have been
living in California for the past
three years and Mrs. Baker returned
about two weeks ago, while Baker
himself came in on No. 6 this morn
ing.
AS nearly as can be learned at
this time, Baker left the train here,
went to restaurant and got break
fast and then went to the Glass
home and after few words shot
and killed the occupants of the
house. Glass was shot in the
mouth and heart and death must
have been instantaneous. Mrs. Ba-
ker was shot five times in the head
and body and lived only a few min
utes.
The shooting was done with .3S
calibre gun and must have been
emptied once and then re-flled.
The story told by a woman that
lives in the same house is to the
effect that Baker came to the door
and was met by Glass, who ordered
his son-in-law to leave the house,
and was then shot, while Baker
went on into another room and
shot his wife. The Bakers have
separated several times and it is
suspected that there was more trou-
BILE just before Mr.. Baker left Cali
fornia to come back to Dawson.
Glass is an old resident here and
well thought of in the community.
Later developments tend to show
that Baker went to the Glass home
and went into room where his
wife was sitting and that the woman
called to her father, saying, "My
God, here is George"
Her, father assured her that
George could do her no harm and
went into the room where Baker
and his wife were. Then Baker
shot the old man and the wife tded
to escape through a window, but
was killed before getting away.
She was evidently shot, first in the
stomach and later, while lying in
the window, Baker placed the revol-
yer at her head and fired again.
In all seven shots were fired. Ba-
ker was arrested by Constable Bon
and has been taken to the county

Splendid CROPS
ON PLANTATIONS
IN DOUGHERTY
Americas Men Possess Fine
Farm There

Messrs. Arthur Rylander and Lee
Allen returned yesterday from trip
into Dougherty county, where, to-
gether with Mr.. Frank Sheffield, of
this city, they own jointly one of the
largest and finest plantations in Geor-
gia, which they purchased year or
two ago as an investment, and are
pleased herewith.
The farm contains $500 level acres,
and the crops growing this year, Mr..
Allen states, are as fine as could be
desired.
There are eleven hundred acres
planted in cotton, much Of which will
easily produce bale per acre, if sea-
sons continue favorable. The cotton
is nearly knee high, upon the average
and blooms are appearing over all the
fields. A crop of 500 or 900 bales
should easily be made, it would seem.
There are thirty-one plows operated
upon this extensive farm. Besides
fields of fine cotton, there is an album
dance of other crops. High fertiliza-
ton and improved methods in agri-
culture already insure splendid re-
suits there this year.

When I Am Dead.

When | am dead, if man :an say
He helped the world upon ITS way
With all his faults of word or deed
Mankind did have some little heed
OF what he gave'-then n my grave
No greater honor shall crave.
If they can say-if they but can
He did his best he played the man,
His ways were straight; his soul was clean !;
He loved his fellowmen, and tried
To help then'-I'll be satisfied.
But when In, gone, if even one
Can weep because my life IS done
And feel the world if getting bare
Because am no longer there;
Call me knave, my life missoend-
No matter, shall be content.
