BUILDING BOOM
STRUCK BELFIELD

Belfield, N. D. May 12.-Never since
Beld1eld was an infant have there been
SO many residences under way at one
time that, there are this spring. For
several years Belield seemed to stand
still, but things have changed - the
lid is off and the spirit Of progress
can be felt in every corner.
Among several others to back their
future prosperity on the rental of
tenement houses is Jas. Christianson.
A short time g he let the contract
for three siX-room cottages, which
will bring him in d monthly income of
$50. John Boyum is erecting a cozy
little bungalow on the lot south of
the NJ. Doyle property. J. w. Doty
and Math Wrinkles each built large
and modern additions to their homes
the past winter, and on the north side
Ed. belong recently moved into a
comfortable new house which was
built during the fall and early winter.
On the lot south Of B. J.. Determann's,
Mrs. Cecile M~oorehead and daughters
are occupying a home on which the
paint is scarcely dry, and on every
side can be heard the knock of the
builders hammer.
Local architects are busy every
minute drawing plans for new resi-
dences, and it is safe to say that by
the time the snow blows next Decem-
Der over $4,000 will have been added
to the taxable property of Belield in
the way Of new homes. ~J

STRUCK A Man

Mandan, N. D., May 12.-Because

pert marksman, failed to hit a rabbit
she shot at, Adam Stein, a neighbor,
is lying in the Mandan hospital with

CATTLE KILLED
near PEMBINA

Pembina, N. D, May 12.-The N. P.
flyer coming north ran into a bunch
of cattle at the south end of the Penn
bina river bridge. 1t was very dark
and when the engineer saw them it
was too late to stop at: the high speed
the train was running, so he probably
opened up and went through the herd
which was all huddled together. The
cattle belonged to John Hannesson, who
recently moved from South Pembina
to the Eymundson farm on leland
~coulie, and undoubtedly the cattle had
started for their old home here but
when they came to the railway cross
ing they had turned onto the track
and followed it as far as the bridge
which they could not very well cross
and stood there until the train came
along. 1t is fortunate indeed that the
train did not leave the rails from the
impact Of so many heavy bodies, as
the place was about as bad as could
be selected for a railroad accident, it
being directly on the approach to a
bridge which is some twenty-five. feet
above the water with steep banks. If
the train had left the track at that
point it would have been changed to a
mass of kindling wood nj twisted
iron in one second of time.
Mr.. Hanpesson reported that four
teen head are missing and that nine
of them have been found at the bridge,
and it is feared that the whole herd is
killed and that those missing are in
the bottom of the river, which at this
time is probably twenty feet deep.
