NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH

Devils Lake, N. d., July II. -
Miracuously escaping death. Don
Belcher sustained but slight injuries
when his touring ear, skidded from the
road south Of the division Of the
Pelican point bridge and chautauqua
road south Of the city, and turned
turtle twice landing right side up.
The car was speeding at a fifty mile
an hour clip when the slippery clay,
which was thoroughly soaked by the
rain was reached aud had skidded
from the road turning turtle twice be-
fore Mr.. Belcher would have mad time
to apply the brakes. The top, wind
shield, tenders ana one wheel were
damaged in the accident to a con-
siderable extent.
How Mr.. Belcher escaped with but
q few scratches on his face and a
bruised shoulder and leg is unbeliev-
able and when interviewed by a
Journal reporter a short time after the
accident said he felt the car skidding
and the next thing he knew he found
himself in the grass with the ear
twenty OF thirty feet away right side
up.
The road where the accident oc-
Cured has been recognized by auto
drivers as a dangerous point.

new COURT HOUSE
WAS DEDICATED

Grand Forks. N. D., July 17.-With
hundreds of people present, cere-
monies at nee interesting and i'm
pressive were carried yesterday
when the corner stone of the Grand
Forks county courthouse was = laid.
The services commenced shortly after
8 o'clock, the massive block not be-
ing placed, however, till nearly 4
o'clock, following a programme of adj
dresses in which GRAND Forks county
mayors. officers, representatives OF the
state and others Participated.
Enclosed in the corner stone that
was placed at the northeast corner Of
n structure was a record of early
Grand Forks county history that will
remain sealed, probably for centuries,
to be brought to light again probably
by some generation in the far distant
future and preserved as a relic of
what will then appear to be frontier
days. ~ .
Newspapers of the current issues
from all cities in the county, records
relating to the letting of the court

etc, Were included in the box that was

THAT FADE.

T have loved flowers that fade
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmernoried scents:
A honeymoon delight
Al joy of love at sight
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!
/ have loved airs that die
Before their charm is writ
Along a liquid sky
Trembling to welcome it.
Notes, with their pulse Of fire,
Proclaim the spirits desire,
Then die, and are nowhere
MY song be like an air!
Die. song, die like a breath.
And wither as a bloom:
Fear not a foWery death,
Dread not an airy tomb!
Fly with delight. fly hence!
Twas thine loves tender
TO feast: now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed a tear.

he had done he laughed. The COVER
nor was seriously silent for many min
utes, and then he said:
Leonard, want you to tell me your
theory of this whole business"
Gilman sat up well" he said.
had it never occurred to you that it
would have been significant to deter
mine where that bullet lodged as show
ing its direction? 1t bored a hole clear
through Brokoski but at which end
had it entered?"
Il presume the medical testimony
settled that" replied the governor. He
seemed to find species of relief in
this thought.
Yes" Gilman said, 'but the medi-
cal testimony was bad. 1t consisted
of the conclusions of young doctor
who examined Brokoskis body after it
had grown cold. He accepted Wha-
lens guilt as an established fact. He
assumed that the bullet entered at the
breast. There was then nothing to
do but to trace its course through the
tissues of the body. If his views We're
correct, the ball would have lodged
somewhere behind Brokoslli.'
"But it flew out into the alley ar
gued the governor, "and shattered the
window in doing So"
True" assented Gilman, "and yet
i you assume all the while that Whalen
| fired the shot. OF course the circum-
stances attending the tragedy. the oc-
casion, the quarrel, Whalen's flight,
and the finding Of his gun, lent strong
color to that presumption"
| But the shattered window" the
governor interpolated.
Eyes, and the shattered window.
Now" he continued, "a surgeon, ex-
perienced in gunshot wounds, might
have been able to distinguish in such
a wound as Brokoski's the point of
| the missiles entrance from the point
of exit. OF course it is not certain.
The youth the police called did not
think such an inquiry important,
whereas it was vital. A pistol fired
point-blank at man would blacken
his breast with powder. The velocity
of the ball, fired at such range might
have been sufficient to knock the man
over backward, instead Of allowing
him to fall upon his face as he did.
Then, there's the window. 1t was shat
tered, the police said, by the ball. Even
the glass in the upper sash was broken.
The frame on the outside was black
ened by powder, the stains even now
being visible. Now, bullet flying the
distance it must have traversed be-
tween Whalen's hand and the window,
would, in all probability, simply have
perforated the glass with round,
clean hole. But the weapon having
! been fired in close proximity, the con-

cussion shattered the whole window"
After a silence Gilman resumed:

cussion shattered the whole window"
After a silence Gilman resumed:
"Now, then, assume that the bullet
entered Brokosd's back and emerged
from his breast. Ths conclusion de-
duced from the circumstances l have
suggested is impregnable when that
bullet is located in position in front
of Brokoski."
During the recital the governor lay
in his deep chair, his arms across his
breast, his finger-tips together. He re-
garded Gilman through half-closed
eyes. A thoughtful observer would
have said that he had heard the essen
tial elements of the tale before. When
he spoke, after a silence which had
begun to annoy the private secretary.
he said:
"Well, your hypothesis is tenable.
In fact, it is one of the prettiest cases
ever saw put together"
Gilman stirred uneasily.
"But did you learn anything as to
the identity Of the person, who, If
your suppositions are correct, killed
Brokoski?"
"That's the weak point" Gilman
promptly admitted. "a sufficient mo-
tive is utterly lacking, if we eliminate
partisan hatred. 1t was shown that
Whalen killed him in an impulse OF
passion, and that alone saved him
from the death penalty. But feel that
my reasoning is valid. The convic-'
ton was strengthened by Whalen's
manner and expression the other day.
He never killed Brokoski, l tell you"
Gilman smote his thigh for emphasis.
"Why he chooses to die in prison
silent martyr I don't know-but the
woman does"
The governor assumed sitting pos
ture.
Damn it," exclaimed Gilman, after
a momentary silence, "if those stupid
police had examined the mud in the
alley beneath the window that night
