.SLASHED THROAT
With A RAZOR

Northwood, N. D.. Feb. 25.-Gunder
Tweten, a farm hand of about 40
years of age, who has of late suffered
with peculiar headaches and been
GOctoring for the same. attempted
suicide by slashing his throat with a
razor. He has been employed around
here for the last ten or twelve years,
and was stopping a few days at the
home of Svenning Nelson, a farmer
living east of town. His condition
lad been growing continually worse.
There were no women folks on the
Place Monday, and MI. Nelson left
hcme at 8 O'Clock m the morning. and
did not return until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, so hat Tweten was left
al the farm alone.
When Nelson returned, he found
Tweten lying in a pool of blood across
the bed. , He had cut gashes on either
side of his throat with a razor, sever
ing the external juglars and en-
tering the wind-pipe. DR.. Caller
strom was summoned, and the man
was brought to the Northwood hos
pital in a sleigh, where his wounds
were dressed, and he was given
every care. So far he seems to be
recovering, but is suffering from
loss Of blood, and his head symp-
toms, which seem to be the only
reasonable explanation of his rash
act, are continually growing worse. He
was not financially embarrassed or
in any trouble to bring about a desire
to end his life, and temporary de-
rangement seems to have been the
melting cause.

The YELLOWSTONE
IS GOING OUT

Alexander Chronicle: In the local
vernacular, the Yellowstone is going
out. Word just reached here. that the
breakup passed Glendive yesterday
and was this morning within fifteen
miles of the G. N. bridge works be-
tween here and FairView, and at the
rate it is travelling will be tearing
up ice near the bridge before evening.
The sandhogs were called off at $50
this morning and the work of dis
readily movable is being taken off
the river. An attempt is being made
to save the temporary bridges and
the cOfferdams by cutting the ice
loose from the piling.
1t is not thought that the breakup
will at this time extend beyond the
mouth Of the Yellowstone. The Mis-
souri, ice is still very solid and will
probably not be seriously Jared by
the actions of her big tributary.
What is more likely to result is
the flooding of the whole lower yell
lowstone valley. The inhabitants are
already surveying the high lands. and
mapping out their line of retreat
ahead of the ice laden waters.
This is the earliest breakup of the
Yellowstone. in the memory of many
old timers. The soft weather of the
past week thawed the ice loose from
the shore in some places particularly
up the stream. The feeders
all along the river have for several
days been pouring in their supply of
melted snow and ice raising the water
level, also raising, loosening and
breaking up the ice.

HITS INTRUDER
BLOW WITH RIFLE
PLUCkY WOMAN USES WEAPON
ON MAN WHO FORCES WAY
INTO HER HOME.

New England, N. D., Feb. 25.-To
be cracked on the head with a rifle
in the hands of a woman and then
to be held for a half hour in the
cold until her husband returned to ad-
minister another drubbing was what
harper l to Ed. Weber.
At about 6 o'clock, when Mrs. Jesse
Edens was going from the barn to
the house, Ed. Weber drove into the
yard in an apparently intoxicated con-
dition. Mrs. Edens went into the
house and locked the door. Weber
tried the door and. when it would
not open, forced an entrance by
breaking the lock. No sooner had
he poked his head inside the house
thar his brain-box was violently jar
red by a heavy blow from a rifle in
the hands of the lady of the house.
The intruder fell, or rolled, back into
the yard close to his horses feet, and
when he again gained a standing no
sition. seemed willing to remain at a
safe distance from Mrs. Edens who
kept him covered with the broken
weapon.
Some minutes later Mr.. Edens re-
turned home and his wife requested
that he make the man get into the
buggy and leave the place. Mr..
Edens, not knowing that the man had
made any particular disturbance,
walked over to assist him into the
buggy. The intruder didn't take kind
ly to the proffered help and struck
Mr.. Edens a blow on the forehead
with a knife or some other sharp in
strument. Edens gave Webber a
drubbing, loaded him into his buggy
and sent him off.
