and he says if Doc posters him for that
quarter he will sue him for malpractice.

and they don't look so bad either, ex-
cept they are longer in some places than
others. Rufe says he could of made a
better job if he had of used a looking

Bill looked a leetle mite sheepish and
excused hisself for not gettin drunk on
the grounds that he clean forgot about
it being Satterday until Sunday morn
ing, and then it was too late to go to
tn co. seat to get drunk.
Bill says he lost day somers during
the week and thort all the time that
Saturday was Friday, and being as
when he found out better Sunday every
thing was then shut up at the co. seat
tighter than bung and SO he couldn't
get drunk. But Bill made up for it

Gas Explosion
Kills Youth

Casselton, N. D., Oct. IT,
Martin Torgeson, aged about 20.
was blown into eternity in the
twinkling of an eye on the John
Dalrymple farm, about a mile
east of Casselton, this morning.
Torgeson was working about a
gasoline tractor and was attempt
ing to thaw out frozen pipes. He
set fire to a bundle of cotton
waste, that was soaked with oil
and gasoline, but as this did not
burn fast enough, he kicked a
bundle over to the gasoline tank
and turned the faucet, allowing
the gasoline to run onto the burn
ing pile.
There was an instantaneous ex-
plosion which killed the youth
and scattered burning gasoline in
all directions, the tank being
blown to bits.
The engineer saw what the boy
was about to do and shouted a
warning, but it came too late, for
the next moment Torgeson was
dead.

Fatally Crushed
At Mandan

Mandan, N. D., Oct. 2l.-
Domonice Muro was killed here
last night while attempting to
crawl under the cars in the North
ern Pacific yards. Muro was re-
turning from purchasing a sack of
flour, and he decided to cut
through the yards as short route
home.
1t was necessary for him to go
through the cars and he attempted
to crawl under with the -four on
his back. His mind being on the
flour. he forgot the possibilities of
an engine being near. Just as he
had stopped under the car, hav-
ing one leg on the opposite side
of the rail. an engine banged into
the cars. His heavy load pre-
vented any quick action and he
fell, the wheels of the car caught
his right leg just above the ankle
and crushed it inch by inch to
about two inches above the knee.
His right hand was run over and
the trucks on the car cut his
head.
His cries were heard and the
engine was stopped. and he was
hurried to the hospital, where he
died about an hour later. Muro
leaves wife and seven small chill
dren in the old country.
