The fax crop is not yet out Of the
reach Of possible damage but is pro-
crossing we'll. More than usual eau
ton in the selection of seed was
noted with more care in making II
immune from the fax disease SO de-
structive in many late seasons. Much
of sowings was late and there is pos
sibility Of frost overtaking it. before
maturity. Escaping wilt, a round
yield is probable. The acreage is
larger than in previous years by
nearly 8 per ent and conditions
higher than the ten year average. In
face Of these records the trend OF
price has been. with some Interrupt.
tions. downward. Receipts Of the old
crop are more liberal than expected
but that the end Of them is near IL
shown by the proportion Of part cars
arriving.
A few reports are in complaining
Of an attack of fax wilt and one says
in hat section Of North Dakota the
situation is very serious.

robbed of his team of horses. the to-
tai result of three years savings to
nm. was the misfortune of w. H.

ed AT the wye in Darlington Tuesday

STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING BOLT
Glenburn Has Worst Fire
Loss in Years-Depart-
ment Worked Hard.

G1enburn. n. D., July 27.-Lightning
struck the a. Butts elevator and be-
fore the fire was discovered it had
gained such Roadway that there was
no chance to save n part of the
building. When first discovered the
flames We're shooting out Of the top
of the building and by the time the
fire alarm was given and the fire boys
got there the flames had penetrated
the entire interior of the elevator.
Mr.. Butts was one of the first ones
To get out of bed when he heard the
fire bell and as soon as he discovered
the location of the fire he made haste
10 get to the building and by so doing
managed to save his automobile,
desk and books from the office. These
We're all that We're saved. The rest
is a mass of twisted and warped iron.
The Farmers elevator and coal shed
which are Very close to the Butts
elevator We're saved only after a hard
hight by those present. The coal shed
caught fire several times and it was
with great difficulty that the flames
We're gotten under control. The
Farmers elevator was hlistered clear
to the top and it is a wonder that it
cid not catch fire. Three box cars
had to be pushed passed the burning
elevator to a Y them. They We're
so close to the elevator that to leave
them would have meant their de-
strletion and at the same time been
a. means of carrying the fire to the
coal shed of the Farmers elevator.
The fire boys fought the flames skill
fully and hard and are entitled to
much credit for their splendid work.
This elevator was built by Harry
Gidley in the fall of 1904 and later
sold by him to A. Butts and the
Poe2ler Grain company. 1t was valued
at $500 and the insurance carried
amounted to $500.
This is the worst fire Glenburn has
ever experienced and it is hoped it
will be the last one for several years
if NOT for all time

in Stranger Being in Hospital.

Fargo. n. D.. July 27.-Jack Cess
Ter was taken from the fair grounds
TO st. Johns hospital at an early hour
this morning suffering severely from
bruises about his head and face. He
is said to be in a serious condition.

case. Gessler is a driver in the races
and it is reported he was beat up by
another man around the horse barn
during a fight. The police arrested a
man named Sullivan. who is alleged to
have assaulted Gessler.
At the hospital it vas reported that
a horse had kicked Gessler. 1t vas
impossible to secure the facts of the
matter this morning. He was first
taken to the First Regiment Red
Cross hospital and was later trans

count of the burning Of Brentwood ho-
tel on Wednesday night has reached
here. The fire started about 10 o'clock
at night, n in twenty minutes the
building was nothing out a pile of ash
es. Absolutely nothing was saved, and
those who were in the hotel barely
got out in time. SO quickly did the
flames do their destructive work. Sew
eral people were hurt in the excite
ment attendant upon the disaster. The
loss was a total one. amounting to
about $4,000. and there was no insur-
ance carried on the property. The
store which is near the hotel was
hardly saved by a lot Of hard work.
The Fish Lake residents worked like
troopers and the fight was a fierce
one. No cause is yet known for the
starting of the fire. Further details
are lackin at this time. and it is not
known whether the hotel will be re-
built. t -

PRUNE STONE is
K FROM LUNG
OF YOUNG GIRL

Dickinson. n. D.. July 27.-one of
the strange cases in history comes
from thu Shollsmade country. The
G-year-old daughter of John Sholl
was scuffling with her sisters and in
some way a prune stone was forced
into her windpipe and lodged into
her right lung. The little sufferer
was taken to the New England hos
rital and the very delicate operation
of opening the windpipe and going
into the lung and removing the stone
was performed. So far as could he
observed the operation was success
full and it was believed that if pneu
monia did not develop the girls life
would he saved.
