STONE ExPL0D|Es;
SKULL IS CRUSHED

Golden Valley, N. D., Aug.
5.-I'he explosion Of a grind
stone instantly killed Matthew
Bauer, a farmer, near here
yesterday. He had an ancient
grindstone he wished to true
up. At one machine shop the
task was regarded as too dam
gerous, and at another he was
permitted to attach the stone
to a shaft if he would do the
work himself. The instant the
steel touched the stone an ex-
plosion followed. One piece
broke one Of Bauer's arms in
two places and another crushed
his skull.
The black ksmith also was hit
in the head and eriously cut, ut
Other men ii the shop were we're
slightly inj jured and the building.

RIVERS FREAKS MAY
PROVE EXPENSIVE
MISSOURI RIVER AT WILL
LISTON is CONTINUAL.
LY CHANGING COURSE.

By the changing channel Of
The Missouri river north Of
Williston, the water supply for
the Williston irrigation project
one of the most important in
the westI is threatened.
Army engineers who have in
vestigated the situation will re-
commend immediate steps to
build up the bank of the river
and thus prevent the flow of
water into an old channel Of
the Missouri, lying several
miles Distant from the pump
ing station, and which would
make The irrigation project
useless until new intakes, in
volving J heavy expenditures,
could be laid.
According to the United
States government hydrogra-
pher, Prof. E. F. Chandler, of
Grand Forks, the bank Of the
Missouri, three miles north of
the pumping station, is slow
ly washing away. Only a foot
or two more must be washed
down before the river will be
in it's own channel, which
would carry the water three
miles west of the plant.

MOND'S ELECTION CONTEST

When Burke county was made
dry several months ago by the
surrender of the druggists per-
mits Gust Albertson of Coteau
didn't kick. He is not of the
kicking kind, and took it as
a matter Of course. He fgur-
ed that as long as he had
plenty of water he would be
able to survive. However, he
came to town Tuesday evening
and hurried to The Tribune
office to tell US that he now had
a kick coming, saying that even
his supply of water had been
cut off. We agreed with him
that it was time to kick.
Quick sand at the bottom of
his we'll had risen about 70
feet and he was unable to get
any water. Before leaving
town he employed Contractor
A. C.. Oothoudt to go out and
see what could be done about
helping him out.

Attorney John J. Coyle of
Minot was among the prom
inent men from outside the
city to visit Bowbells on Mon
day afternoon to look after
some legal matters and at the
same time take in the open
ing of the big county seat
case which started Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Coyle states
that business with him has
been unusually good during
the past few months and from
the number of cases which he
has brought for clients in the
past six weeks, we would judge
that he will be even buster dur
ing the next six months or
more. MIR. Coyle is a very sue
cessful lawyer, an all around
pleasant fellow, and he has
many friends in Bowbells that
always are glad to meet and
greet him whenever business
brings him to this city.

Hartzell rode away from his
home near Ludlow on Satur-
day morning about Z o'clock,
and started for Connell's ranch
where he was to brand some
calves. Not returning in the
evening his wife suspected
something must be wrong, and
upon inquiry learned that he
had never reached his destina-
ton. Sunday came and he had
not returned and by this time
many of the neighbors were
aroused and parties started out
in all directions to search for
him.
The searchers pursued their
quest all day on Sunday and
Monday to no avail, and
many of them had become con-
vinced that he must have left
the country. Not so, his wife,
however. She was sure that
an accident must have befallen
him and she was rewarded on
Tuesday afternoon by finding
him in an unconscious condition
about four feet from his dead
horse which had died from a
broken neck.
When found he was within
forty rods of his own house
and w|as lying in a draw"
over which it is thought the
horse had stumbled to it's death.
The sun was streaming upon
him and the horse was already
in a state OF. qualification, be-
ing covered with swarms Of
flies. -
Strange to say Mr.. Hartzell
had received no broken bones
asd the bruises on his body
do not appear to be severe.
It is evident that he struck
upon his head, although no
wound appears, and this rem
dered him unconscious, in
which condition he had lain for
nearly four days before being
found.
At first his life was despair
ed of but the physician in at
tendance states that he now
stands good chance of COM
plete recovery.
Since the finding of Hart
zell it was learned that a man
and woman picking berries last
Sunday passed within three or
four rods of where he. and his
horse lay, all unconscious Of
the fact of the tragedy which
had been enacted near them on
the previous day.

brought up by the attorneys
for Ignite in this contest case
which had not already been
decided by the: supreme court.
The court stated that it
would be willing to hear ar
guments from both sides on
this proposition, and an ad-
journment was taken until
Tuesday morning to give the
attorneys for Ignite time to
look up different matters. All
next. day and up to two o'clock
Wednesday afternoon the time
was spent in looking up 7su-
preme court decisions and rec
ords, !: and the case was finally
dismissed, the court holding
that the decision of the su-
preme court in the former case
covered everything brought
out in this. contest case.
A large number of witnesses
from all parts of the county
were present, having been SUBJ
poenaed by either the can
vassing board or the Ignite
contingent. In addition to this
there were a large number of
people from all parts of the
county who came here to look
on, and learn the result of the
contest as soon as possible. .
It is not yet known whether
this will be the end of the
county seat fight. The Ignite
people have a right to appeal
from the decision of Judge
Buttz. They have a year in
which to take their case to
the supreme court, and it
may be that they will not stop
fighting until their last chance
of winning has gone by.
After the disposition of the
county seat proposition the
court took up the case which
had been brought to restrain
the county commissioners
from paying Attorney Bangs
for defending the canvassjng
board from funds out Of the
county treasury. Attorneys
Blood and Cowan appeared for
the plaintiffs and Mr.. Bangs
for the county board. After
hearing the evidence the court
asked each side to file their
briefs in writing with him, and
a decision might be expected
in about 60 days.

The Sam L. Dimond county
seat case was dismissed by
Judge Buttz Wednesday after
noon at about two o'clock be-
fore any evidence was taken,
and Bowbells was declared by
the court as the permanent
county seat of Burke county.
A special term of court had

Bangs of Grand Forks who de-
Tended the canvassing board,
and Attorney Blood of Minot
and Judge Cowan of Mime
waukon who were employed by
the Ignite people, arrived on
Train No. ISL Monday after
noon, and the case was taken
up Immediately thereafter.
After the case had been OPEN
ed Attorney Bangs moved that
the contest be dismissed on the
ground and for the reason that
Mr.. Dimond, the contestant,
was wholly disqualified in
bringing the action, he having
absconded from the country
while a bench warrant was out
for his arrest on the charge
of contempt Of court, and on
the further grounds that Di-
mond was neither a resident,
taxpayer or property holder in
Burke county at the present
time. This motion was denied
by the court, who stated that
the contest had been brought
by the people in the interest
of Ignite, and that Ignite
was we'll represented in the case
even in the absence of Dimond.
Attorney Blood then started

ship should have been counted
by the canvassing board. To
this Bangs also objected on
the ground and for the reason
that the supreme court had
already disposed of and decid-
ed all matters and things and
issues brought up in this con-
test case when the higher
tribunal handed down its deci-
sion in the mandamus pro-

WELL REWARDED
WILL OF ECCENTRIC GIVES
$4,000 TO WOMAN WHO =.

Evansville, Ind, Aug. GA
$37, ,O0O reward for A. giving a
cold biscuit and cup of coffee to
man: who appeared to be a
tramp in 1886, was bestowed
upon Mrs. Matte Hannun in
the final settlement of the Mar
shall McMurran estate yester-
day. Mrs. Hannun was paid
$4,000 in gold and received
deed to property valued at $10,-
900. .
Twenty-four years ago Mrs.
Hannun, who lives in Vim
cennes, was Matte Drain, a
servant girl, 10 years old.
One day McMurran, who was
then a wanderer, called at the
,-house where the Drain girl
worked and asked for some
thing to eat. The man of the
house ordered McMurran away,
saying he did not make a prac-
the of feeding tramps. Miss
Drain, however, took pity on
the man and fed him. That so
impressed the man that he
went went to the house of a
neighbor and wrote his will on
a piece Of brown paper, with
the request that it be given
Miss Drain. The girl kept the
piece of paper, little thinking
it would ever be of any value
to her. ~
Twenty-four years later Nc
Murran, who had become an
eccentric poet and nIser. WAS
found demented IN q shack On
the Stringtown road near this
city. He was removed to the
southern Indiana insane hos
pital, where he died in a few
days. Under the floor of his
hovel was found gold and Sill
j: yer amounting to over $4,000.
Following McMurrans death
Mrs. Hannun hastened to Ev-
ansville from Vincennes and
filed the McMurran will in
the probate court. No other
will was filed. Relatives of
tlhe dead man is Kansas City
and New York came here and
had one Of their own number
named as administrator of the
estate.
In the meanwhile Mrs. Han
nun began steps in the circuit
court to claim all of the dead
mans property. Her suit was
contested by relatives. In the
trial in the Posey county cir
cult court at Mount Vernon,
Ind, the jury failed to agree.
= ..r-L -sEt -
The second trial was held in
the Pike county circuib court
at Petersburg, Ind, and the
jury decided thas the will held
BY Mrs. Hannun was genuine
and this ended the suit, as the
relatives Of McMurran decided
not to appeal the case.

Drayton, N. D., Aug. g.
Four out Of an automobile
|party of six, all from Drayton,
N. D., were drowned in the
Red river yesterday afternoon,
when the automobile Of John
"A. Johnson of that place
plunged into the river while
descending the high hill road
leading to the ferry boat land
ing which makes connection
with the road to Hallock, Minn.,
from the North Dakota side of
the river.
The party comprised Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Johnson and their
12-year-old son, Willie;, Mr..
and Mrs. R. A. Stewart and
John Anderson, the chauffeur,
all Of Drayton.
They were returning from an
automobile pleasure trip to
Hallock in Mr.. Johnson's new
big Kissel car. When the
party reached the top Of the
hill above the Red river, An
derson stopped the car and Mr..
johnson descended on foot to
see if the ferry boat was in
sight, When he reached the
foot of the hill he motioned the
driver to follow.
Anderson descended cautious
W, but when three-quarteus
of the way down, the brakes
caught and refused to work.
The car plunged forward into
the stream with all the passen-
gers,
The top of the big vehicle
was up so that escape b. the
occupants jumping out was i'm
possible: There was no alter
native except being swept into
the swift current Of the river.
Anderson, it is said, caught
hold of Mrs. Stewart in the
effort to rescue her. Once he
rose to the surface Of the wat
er with her in his arms, but
sank again. When he reap
peared later he was alone.
Her body has not yet been
found.
The body of Mrs. Johnson
was not found until last even
ing at z o'clock. Neither the
bodies of the boy nor Mr.. Stew
art have been located. Mr..
Johnson, himself, was unable
to swim. ...s
No boats nor ropes were in
sight. There was nothing
available to throw the victims
and all were lost, with the ex-
ception of Anderson, who bare~
ly escaped. :; ]

The New Round House

The new round house west of
the city is rapidly nearing COM
pletion. 1t is quite an addition
to the equipment of the Santa Fe
at WinsloW. 1t has thirty-six
stalls and is modernly equipped
in every particular. The double
tracking of the system necessi-
tated the building of the new
round house to facilitate the
handling of the business, and
it's being built here is only more
evidence that WinsloW is one of
the towns which the Santa Fe
railroad intends to make perma-
nent on its main line, which is
certainly quite an asset to our
growing little city. The Mail
predicts that with the different
political questions now agitating
the country settled, and the re-
turn to normal business condi-
lions, Winslow will forge for
ward with leaps and bounds. In
fact, even now, the merchants
of the city state that business is
pretty good.
