the boy just as the latter was placing
a cartridge in the gun and closing it.
The rifle accidentally exploded, the
shell and the bullet entered the hip
of the section man and passed through
the rectum, making an ugly wound
that may prove serious. Monday noon

tie was found on his person. He had
evidently lain down close to the side
track that leads to the stock yards
for loading and unloading purposes,
and in such a manner as to extend the
right arm across one rail. The engine
backed eight cars in and when the
cab reached where Mr.. Bramsen lay
he was noticed by the train crew and
the tain was stopped. At this time
Mr.. Bramsen, who was unconscious,
had aroused himself sufficiently to re-
move his arm, which hung helpless at
the wrist, and had then slumbered on.
He aroused partially when medical
aid arrived and called by name DR.. d.
Rudgers, surgeon for the Northwest
ern road, who was at once summoned.
He then became unconscious again
and remained so during the operation.

was almost completely severed and
amputation was made as close TO the
wrist as was safe.

about six feet below the surface Of the

men Of a mans head, which was
petrifed. The head is only about
three inches in diameter, but the fea-
lures are very distinct. The work
manship is of very peculiar design, in
~aicating that the head may have been
fashioned by a member of some pre-.
historic ace which in the dim past
inhabited what 20 is South Dakota.
Although the head is as small as that
OF the most tiny infant, the features
are Enthusiastically those of a person Of
mature age. The head Is Of a greyish
blue. and perfectly petrifed, except at
the neck, which is porous. Diligent
search was made for fragments OF q
body, but nothing Of the kind could be
found. The find" has been sent to
experts for examination, in the hope
that they can throw some light on it's
origin.

Tracking a runaway wife with
bloodhound was experienced south Of
Mt. Vernon when Mrs. Ernest Smell
was found fifteen miles from home and
trying to get farther away as fast as
possible. Mrs. Smell, who is a young
woman with two children, had some
trouble with her husband and a family
quarrel ensued, the husband leaving
home for a short time until the storm
blew over. When Smell returned home
he found his wife gone and a brief
note on the table telling that he
would find her dead. She had been
gone a day before an effort was made
to find her, and the neighbors had
come to the conclusion that the hus-
band had possibly made way with his
wife. Two ~bloodhounds belonging to
AL, Scott, of this city, were taken out
to the farm, and were given scent
from the dress that had been worn by
Mrs. Smell. The day was exceedingly
hot and it was with some difficulty
that the dogs could work, but they
finally trailed the woman fifteen miles
from home where she had taken ref
uge for a short time at a farm house.
When Mrs. Smell was overtaken by
the party she expressed a willingness
to return to her home and try 1t again.
A special election held at Bancroft
a majority of three was cast against

Leona Junge, the ~slX-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. n. Junge OF
Linton, N. d., died at Eureka from
injuries received when she was
thrown from her fathers automobile,
two ours after the accident. Mr.. and
Mrs. Junge, who are prominent resi-
dents of Linton, started from their
home for Eureka to spend the day
with old friends. When at a point
about four miles from Eureka the ma.
chine struck a large boulder In the
middle of the road with such force as
to completely smash the front wheel
of the machine. The little girl was
thrown from the machine with a ter
rife force and alighted some distance
to the side.

Football as Seen by Walt Mason.

Oh, surgeon, sharpen up your saws,
keep arnica in kegs, in readiness for
broken jaws and dislocated legs. Take
down your trusty battle axe for ampu-
tation stunts; have remedies for dam
aged backs and much disfigured fronts.
Oh, let us grease the ambulance and
make it snug inside, for now, with
pomp and circumstance, the football
teams collide. They have debrutalized
the game, so certain experts say; it's
now so innocent and tame that even
girls could play. And yet notice ev-
cry year that grewsome stories come
of players who have had an ear or head
knocked out of plumb. And some go
home with broken ribs and some for
life are lame, which makes me think
that maybe fibs are told about the
game. Far be it from an old fat pote
to kick at any sport that does not get
the players goat and put him out of
court. But football, in the ages when
it hadn't been refined, has killed and
crippled scores of men-but all that is
behind. They have it now so tempered
down it's safe as blind mans buff; no
player gets a busted crown-there' s
nothing fierce or rough. And yet, oh
Sawbones. just the same, I'd grease
the ambulance, for in the sweetest,
game some accident may chance. Walt
Mason.

Would Solve Rural Problem"

To officers and members of the Farm
ers' Union:
have always been in favor of mis-
sionaries. The kind that the farmer
now needs most is the man, just one
man, with the missionary spirit, in
each county, who will study the prob
lens of the farmers and bring to their
attention the same zeal and fervor of
the man or woman who travels to dis
tant lands to convert the heather.
The farmer is the greatest, the most
priceless asset of America.
His problems are the problems of
the nation.
They can not be settled by lecturers
or other enthusiasts in convention
voted these gentlemen may be.
They must be solved by the man who
lives with the farmer the year round,
who sees him in his gladness and sor.
row, who can show him how to avoid
the pitfalls of the demagog, and also
of his own weakness and, here and
there, his suspicion and his credulity.
Do you think there is one man ir
your county who will put up with your
cussedness, as well as your nobility
for you are strange mixture of both
do you think there is one man in your
county WHO will develop the courage te
tell you the truth, not once but all the
time; who will stick to you, even wher
you show signs of abandoning him?
That is the sort of spirit needed to
aid the farmers of America, wherever
located.
The work may not pay much in dol
lars and cents. But the man who en-
lists in the cause may have as his re-
ward the consciousness that he is serv
ing generations yet unborn.
