AMBROSE MAN HAS
SKULL FRACTURED
s.2.a. =
Gets Hit on Head With Base
Ball and is Now in a Pre-
..-'H
cariOus Condition

Columbus Reporter:-An ac-
cident which came at Goodwater
Canada, on Thursday Of last
week when Eddie Bowler, a
well known Ambrose young man
was hit in the head with a base
ball and as a result is lying at
his home in a precarious con-
dition. The story of the &C.
cident as we have received it is
that the Ambrose ball team was
to play with Colgate at the
Goodwater celebration. The
boys were on the field practicing
when a bad throw was made by
one Of the players. The ball hit
Bowler in the temple causing
a bad fracture of the skull. He
was Immediately placed in an
auto and driven forty miles to
his home at Ambrose and an
operation was performed that
evening, and for a time all hope
of the young mans recovery
was despaired, but latest reports
state that he is improving as
fastly as could be expected. Mr..
Bowler is one of Ambrose
popular young fellows and he
has many friends in this vicinity
who hope to hear of his speedy
recovery.

Burgett is far ahead of his op-
ponents for state senator with,
Grace second. Davidson is rum
ming very poor. For represen-
tative all four candidates are
running pretty even, and it
would be a hard matter to pick
the winners from the returns so
far received. When the returns
from Divide county come in the
result may be changed greatly
Coleman is a trile in tho lead
for county auditor, but Wegner
is giving him close chase.
Hagen seems to be the man to
receive the nomination for coun-
ty treasurer, though Carey is
pretty well even up with him
and may be the winner when the
rest of the precincts come in.
Hanson is having a walkaway

running pretty even for second
place. Pierson is failing in be-
hind. For quite a while the vote
between Shaw and Hecht for
county superintendent of schools
was nip and tuck, but. when the
north and northwest portion of
the county was heard from Hecht
got a large majority, and it is
conceded by all that it will be i'm:
possible for Shaw to overcome it.

supposed later to have come into
the possession of a travelling
show company and exhibited in
it's museum. The body when
found in Andres barn, was
wrapped in a canvas sign which
stated that within was a 'human
petrifed body found along the
old Pembina trail on the Snake
river in Marshall county, Min
nesota.' - The owner Of the cur
iosity has not claimed the body,
and it is expected that it will be
placed on exhibition at the
Jamestown county fair in July.
The body is that of a we'll
formed negress, apparently about
20 years old. The features are
clear and the white teeth stand
out strikingly between the black
lips. Her two arms lay crossed
upon her breast. Although the
negress weighed a b o Ut 12O
pounds in life, the petrified body
weighed over 200 pounds.

M|NOT man KILLED
: IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Steering Gear Breaks---Car
Plunges Down Bank With
Fatal Results

Minot, N. D., June PA. E.
Stevens, manager Of the Con-
sumers Power Co., died at II
o'clock this morning as a result
of injuries received at 8 a. m. in
an automobile accident five miles
south of the city when his forty
horsepower Hudson car, going
at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, plunged down a ten foot
embankment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens and
Miss Hazel Thompson were
crushed under the car and Miss
Tillie Mostad, the fourth passen-
ger escaped without injuries.
Mrs. Stevens and Miss Thomp-
son are in dangerous condition.
The party was returning to the
city from the poor farm seven
miles south of Minot. Just as
the machine was passing along a
narrow embankment the steer
ing gear broke and the car plung-
ed down the precipice throwing
the passengers out.
Mr.. and Mrs, Stevens and
Miss Thompson were pinned
under the machine but Miss
Mostad escaped. This party
was taken care of by farmers
and hurried to St. Joseph's
hospital, where Mr.. Stevens
died an hour after arriving. ~
Stevens came to Minot two
years ago., when the H. M.
Byllesby Co; Of zChicago pur-
chased the property Of, the Mi
not Light & Telephone Co.

Although there are several
precincts in the west end of the
county yet to hear from. the re-
suit Of the primary election held
Wednesday can almost be guess
ed. The vote was very light,
and probably not over 800
republican votes will be cast in
the entire county. The day was
especially nice, and it is belived
that most farmers preferred to
work to going to the polls.
The first election returns from
outside the city were received
by The Tribune, and the figures
as they came in from the diff
ferent precincts were chalked
down on a big bulletin board in
the window. A very large
crowd was present and watched
the returns as they came in.
Most Of the precincts of the
county were filed with the
county auditor by last evening.
It seemed that the election
boards preferred do a double
stunt at the same time, deliver
the ballots and take in the
races at one trip.
Buchanan received the major
.ity Of the votes CASTOR govern
or, with Johnson and Hanna
running about even for second
place. Blaisdell has quite a lead
for second while Devine and
and Norton and Davis are

tween Columbus and Bowbells.
1t was a hard fought contest
from start to finish and resulted
in a score of 6 to l in favor of
the home team.
Wednesday = evening another
game was played between Flax
ton and Bowbells,. and this re-
suited in a score of 5 to 3 in fav-
or of the visitors. This was
probably the best game so far
played in this city. Another
game was played last evening,
and another will be played to-
night, both at the ball park.
A dance was given at the op-
era house each evening since
Tuesday, and these were largely
attended by people from both the
city and out of town as well.
All present had a splendid time.
The merry-go-round pleased the
kids greatly and received a very
large amount of patronage.

BODY
!, FOUND IN BARN
Box Containing Petrifed Ne
gress is Discovered at
Jamestown, N. Oak.

Jamestown, N. D., June a.
The petrified body of a young
negress was found in a long cof-
fin-shaped chest that has lain
in the barn at the rear Of the
Andre house, this week. About
three months ago Mr.. Andre re-
ceived a letter with 81 enclosed,
asking him to care for a chest
until the owner called. Mr..
Andre hauled the long box,
which was marked ''glass, do
not stand on end," to his barn.
where it lay half forgotten. This
week it was noticed that the
screws had been drawn from the
hinges. Mrs. Andre and son ex-
amined the contents, and remov-
ing a large canvas cover were
shocked to find the gruesome but
petrifed remains of a nude ne
gress.
Further investigation revealed
a hand printed letter that told
the following story: -s.
Count and Countess De la
Jeune were camping on an ex-
pedition along the old Pembina
trail by the Snake river, in Mar
shall county, Mimi, in 1866, with
a retinue of servants. One, a
man, became suddenly insane,
shot and killed the countess and

bullet through her jugular. The

SOLD STOLEN RIG

Horse Thief Makes His Get
away after Disposing of
the Property

Milton Globe: A stranger
with a horse and buggy came tc
Olga some time ago claiming he
was making a hurried journey
to his wife, who he said was
very ill, and that he was en-
tirely without funds and offered
to sell the horse and buggy.
His talk was very plausible and
Phil Brusseau offered to take the
outfit ssfor $3.50. The stranger,
who gave his name as Charles
Kessler, said he would be sat-
isfied to take $25 down, give
a bill of sale and return next
week for the remainder of the
money. Mr.. Brusseau paid the
$25 and received a bill Of sale
for the outfit.
"A rev Gays later Sherl1f
.Drury notified Mr.. Brusseau to
be on the lookout for a man who
had stolen a horse and buggy at
Morden, Manitoba. Phil tumbled
at once to that the stolen pro-
perty was that which he had
purchased and notified the sher-
.iff. The owner arrived from
Morden a few days later and re-
claimed his property, but paid
Mr.. Brusseau $40 to compensate
him in part for his loss. The
thief had q good start and nc
trace Of himyet has been found,
but both Mr.. Brus usseau and the
.rightful owner are happy that
they got Of as cheaply as they
ali.

ATTEMPT II MADE TO
i. WRECK 500 TRAIN 4 IN
Ties and Distractions are
Piled on Railroad Track
Near Burlington

81. Minot, N. D., June Is. That
a deliberate attempt was made
to wreck the fast 500 train 1O8
near Vanderwalker, a. few miles
west Of Burlington last night
and several nights before is the
belief of the 500 officials. Train
1O8 is due in Minot at about 1875
p. m. Last night as it was
speeding eastward the. flash
light suddenly revealed a pile of
ties heaped upon the track. TIE
train was brought to a quick
stop, and while the distractions
were being removed, a search
was made for the culprits. Af-
ter a few moments stop the
train continued on to Minot. It
is stated that like distractions
were discovered on the track a
few nights ago also. Wreck and
robbery may have been the mo-
tive of the culprits. 500 officials
are making a rigid search for all
suspicious characters lettering
along the line.

notice and the music given the

work.

AMBROSE NEWSMAN !.
SUED FOR LIBEL
Candidate tor States Attorney
in Divide County Believes
Himself Libeled r

The Ambrose News1nan was
last week sued for libel by one
C. E. Brace who wants the pap.
er to come through with 81, 500
for damaging his reputation as
an attorney and. as a candidate
for Office. Two weeks ago the
Newsman published some state
ments in regard to Mr.. Brace
which were very detrimental to
his candidacy, and shortly after
the paper was placed in the
postofice a notice of retraction
served on the paper. Instead
of retracting the Newsman the
following week publ ished
affidavits and documents !: to
prove that it was justified in
making the statements the week
before, and then came the suit
Tor libel. ~ 4.s'.... -
The Newsman does not seem
to be worried in the least over
the suit, but proceeds to con.
tinue it's lambasting. Brace and
even poked fun at the summons
and complaint with which it had
been served. The papers in
Divide county have been during
past month or more publishing
little else than. roasts and bopsts
for the various candidates for
Office, and it is not at least
surprising that it resulted in. .
libel suit. It is generally believ-
ed that several more suits will
be started u :, ,e'diately after the
primaries. .

The race meet being held in
this city Tuesday, yesterday and
today, is proving to be dandy
in every particular. Though the
crowd the-tirst day was not very
large, yesterday it was many
times larger, and it is believed
the largest attendance will be
today. All people seem to be
well pleased with the entertain
ment received, and practically
all who came the, first day are
coming today.
The forenoons are being spent
in visiting with old: friends and
acquaintances, as no part OF
the program started until after
noon. Most of the people from
the country did not get into
town until almost noon. The
races started at about 2::30 o'clock
and lasted until about five.
The aeroplane made its flights
at the race track, and with this
part of the program the crowd
was especially pleased. Lucky

Miss Hattie White last Friday
closed a very successful term of
school at the Homiston school
house in North Star township
and in the evening gave a very
interesting and entertaining
program consisting Of recitations,
songs, etc. Quite large NUM-
ber of the patrons were present
and many stated that the en-
tertainment given by the pupils
was the very best they had ever
seen. All showed . great deal
Of hard work spent in training
and the Big success was due
mostly to the efforts Of Miss
White. After the program an
ice cream social was given and
was largely patronized. The
proceeds were to go towards
buying a bell for the school
building, but not quite enough
was taken in to make the pur-
chase.

Postal Clerks Busy.

The holiday rush at the p0stofiice has been on for the past two days. The clerks have been kept unusually busy and the rural delivery men have been well laden with parcels. The vol ume of business al the office will prob- ably exceed anything in previous years.
 Although the weather was bad yes terday, the merchants had a big day, but undoubtedly the sales would have been larger # the weather had been more favorable, so that the country folks could come in. On the whole the Christmas trade this year will aYcrage considerably higher than usual.
