RAN INTO NINE

New England. y. D.. Aug. 23.-As
DIR. j. w. Stribling was speeding into
the country to attend a patient his
automobile found Il lodging place in
the bottom of a coal mine that had
been opened right in the middle OF
the road just recently. The car drop
ped a distance of about five feet but
landed right side up with care. The
doctor was thrown onto his steering
wheel in such Il n that one OF
his ribs was cracked. The other oc-
cupant of the car was uniniured but
was badly shaken up.
Or. Stribling always has been ar
ardent supporter of the good roads
movement and had spent the day be-
fore his accident in carrying a SUBJ
scription list to raise $500 for the New
England commercial club to use in re-
pairing the market roads leading to
the w AS soon as he is fully re-
covered from the accident he intends
to work harder than ever.
AS a whole. the roads leading to
New England are in good shape. but
there are still many bad places that
must be repaired. The commercial
club has taken up the matter in ear
nest and has raised nearly $500 to
carry on the good work.

u GAS WE'LL.

Ambrose, n. D.. Aug. 23.-Frederick
II. Dahl of Ambrose is confronted by
the problem of what to do with a gas
we'll. He ran all the way from his
farm, three miles. distant, to find out
what to do with it.
Dab was digging a we'll on the
farm. The hole had been bored to a
depth Of 200 feet and no satisfactory
flow of water was found. Suddenly
while the men were still at work. dirt
and stones about the hole were thrown
a distance of 100 feet. The men es-
capped injury. An odor of scaping gas
told the story.
Dahl tried filling up the hole but
the dirt was forced out again. He ran
to town and was told the only thing
to do was to throw on more dirt. Ex-
perts have c e n for to test the
gas for Illuminating and heating pur-
poses.

New York. Aug. 23.-Pending Pana-

of the fact that every effort possible

some light on the robberies.
A telephone call was received by
Chief Mcdonald from Mandan stat
ing that a man answering the descrip-
ton of Parmeter had been seer on
the streets but had left on the Mott
train. Another call was received from
Dickinson stating that a man answer
ing Parmeter's description was seer to
bound a Northern Pacific passenger
train. No. 8. Mcdonald was present at
the station when the train arrived but
could not locate Parmeter. The de-
scription of Parmeter is being sent to

some that his home was at Stevens
Point. Wis, and the police of that city
have been notified to arrest him if he
returns home.
