MACHINE WENT
OVER BRIDGE
AUTO DRIVER HAS MARROW ES-
CAPE WHEN MACHINE RUNS
THROUGH RAILING

C. H. Ellerton, driving Metz run
about, had narrow escape Monday
when his machine went through the
railing and off the bridge over the
irrigation ditch on East Broadway.
The accident happened while two
machines were going in the same d.
rection. Mr.. Munroe was driving the
other machine. They were driving
along beside each other, and when
the bridge was reached, the driver
of the Metz car started to throw out
his gear and slow down to pass over
the bridge. He stated that he had
been used to driving another kind OF
car and in place Of throwing out the
clutch the machine was thrown into
high gear. When the cars bumped on
the bridge the lighter one was thrown
through the railing and into the ditch
about eight feet below. The driver
was thrown out but was not injured.
It is considered remarkable how he es-
capped, as one piece of the railing
ran through the seat next to where
he had been sitting. The Metz car
was badly damaged

MADE DASH
FOR LIBERTY
MAN CHARGED WITH BOOTLEG
GING TRIES TO MAKE GET
AWAY FROM COURT

Justice Fields court in the Graphic
Block was the scene Of a rather lively
scramble one day last week when Joe
Cooler, charged with selling intoxi-
eating liquors made break for lib
erty.
Cooler was arrested on complaint
of Herman Johnson. It appears that
the men got into a fight, and John
son was pretty badly beaten up. He
made the complaint and Cooler was
arrested. He was brought to court
and left in charge of the Justice and
William Freeman while the chief of
police went out to get another wit
ness. Without warning the prisoner
made a dash down the hallway to-
ward the rear door, but could not
outdistance Freeman, who pounced
aboard the rapidly moving prisoner
as he reached the rear door and drug
him back to the bar Of justice. He
was bound over to await the action
of the grand jury Bond was not fur
nished and he went to Jail. i:

BEING SENT DOWN RIVER
MUCH TO GO

River traffic into Mckenzie county
has been in progress for some days
Several of the big barges have been
piled high with ties and rails and
taken down the river, while others
are in readiness. The track leading
to the waters edge has been COM
pleted, and rails have been laid on
one Of the barges. Two or three rail-
way engines of Erickson & Long, con-
tractors, will be run on this barge and
taken down to the scene of operations
on the new Great Northern line.
During the past two or three weeks
the pile of supplies in the local yards
has been gradually increasing. Many
car loads of ties continue to arrive
almost daily.

HAIL INSURANCE
WILL FOLLOW LEAD OF MA
TIONAL HARTFORD BE-
CAUSE OF N. D. LAW

The Spectator, an insurance maga-
zine, published in New York, in a re-
cent issue says: The enactment Of an
Objectionable law in North Dakota,
relative to hail insurance, has result
ed in the National of Hartford issuing
circular to. the agents that it will
not write this class of business here
after in that state. The law provides
that all companies writing hail insur-
ance shall be bound, and the insur-
ance shall take effect from and after
twenty-four hours from the time ap-
plication is made from an authorized
agent. The provisions of this law
does not apply to the hail insurance
maintained by the state.
1t is understood that other companies
are considering taking the same ac-
ton. The loss ratio last year in North
Dakota was IT'S per cent on prem
iums Of $1,443,700, including pay
ments to the state insurance fund

ARE OBSERVING
ANNUAL FEASTS
JEWISH HOLIDAYS BEING CELE-
BRATED-OLDEST IN HIS
TORY OF PEOPLE

The anual celebration of the Feast
of the Passover is taking place thios
week and all the Jews of the world
are observing it. The celebration of
this greatest of all Jewish festivals
begun on Monday evening and con-
tinues throughout the week.
Like the feast of Purim, which
comes at different season, the Pass
over appeals to all people Of Hebrew
blood.
The Passover is an an occasion very
largely for home observance. It is
the oldest feast of the Jewish cal
endar, dating back nearly thirty-three
hundred years. The awakening of
spring has it's normal appeal and its
practical symbolism to every people.
The agricultural aspect of this holi-
day is seen in the phrase "That It
is to be kept in the season of the
month of ripenings," when the bar
ley sown in the winter has become ripe
and when an Offering consisting of
an omer Zone half gallon) of barley
was brought in gratitude to the Giver
of all good.
The historic Significance of the
festival has overshadowed it's agri-
cultural aspect. AS the feast of free
dom it commentaries the emancipa-
ton of Israel from Egyptian bondage
and this entrance into the dignity and
destiny of national life. It thus
marks the birth of the Hebrew people
and the first commonwealth.
The main symbols Of this Seder
service are the roasted lamb bone
reminding them Of the lamb each Is
raelite slaughtered as sacrifice of
the covenant; second, the Matzah or
unleavened bread to be eaten during
the whole week, recalling not only
the hasty preparation with which
they hurried out Of Egypt, but also
their reliance upon God, and the
bitter herbs suggesting the bitter life
of their forefathers in Egypt.
There are two other symbols of the
table decorations: The four cups of
wine allowed to each one are remind
ers of the fourfold phrase in which
God couched the fire "Declaration of
independence" and the cup of wine
meant for the prophet Elijah who,
always present in spirit brought ever
anew the message of undying hope of
the Messianic reign Of universal JUS
tice, freedom and peace.

North Dakota Federated Commercial
Club Special Service)
One Of the activities that Com
mercial Clubs have found useful and
profitable for their communities is the
market day. The Brinsmade Com
mercial Club has established a mar
ket day and in speaking Of the move
ment recently the Brinsmade Star
said:
"A market day is day where the
people of the community can bring
anything machinery, stock Of any
kind, etc.,-to the village and have
same sold at auction by an auctioneer
who will be hired by the club. A
market day is designed to bring buyer
and seller together and should prove
of enestimable value to all concerned"
In addition of Market Day, the
Brinsmade Club has also interested
itself in the Good Roads movement
and is arranging for two road drags
to use on the streets and also on the
roads for short distance out of town.
The Federation of Commercial
Clubs has a booklet upon North OAK
ota roads which was prepared by the
State Society of Engineers, and which
gives specifications for constructing
and maintaining our roads. This
booklet will be mailed. free to any
Commercial Club in the state that is

car for number Of laborers, was
completely destroyed as it was out
Of reach of the water. On the way
down the heavy fire wagon struck a
soft place in the street and both
horses were thrown. It took consid-
cradle work to get the wagon and

BOOST FOR A
BALL TEAM
PRACTICE GAME SHOWS THE
WEALTH OF MATERIAL
DANCE WELL ATTENDED

The first ball game of the season
last Sunday afternoon between the
Williston team and the White Sox
resulted in victory for the latter by
a score of Z to 5.
There was a small crowd out to wit
ness the game, due largely to the
fact that there was a strong colo
wind blowing, making it rather un-
comfortable for the baseball fans.
Although the day was cold and this
being the first game the two teams
picked up nevertheless gave a fairly
good exhibition Of baseball. and the
fact that there is an abundance Of
good material in the city for fast
team was clearly established.
The game Sunday helped to arouse
a little additional interest in a ball
team for the city this summer, al
though the attendance was not what
it should have been. The baseball
dance given at the Gates Hall Wed.
nesday evening was we'll attended,
which oil goes to help toward finances
for a team.
Williston needs ball team this
summer It is a big advertisement
for the town. For the past two years
there has been lack Of interest and
it seems that now is the time to
start anew.
Among our players from other sea-
sons there are many who are still in
the city, and who are anxious to play.
There is also plenty of new mater
ial. Joe Cutting, the steller second
baseman says he is getting too fat
to play, but Joe will be on the job all
right if things are started out in
business-like manner. Bill Jarvis, a
handy man with the club, and good
first baseman, is around and he can
be interested in playing.
Other good men available are Mac
Alister, Moses, Harvey, Bruegger,
Gaylord, Kruckenberg, Murphy, and
Canty. Just to show that he could
do it "Fudge" Bruegger last Sunday
hinged one for round trip, while
others Of these mentioned above pull
ed some good plays despite the fact
that they have had no practice to
steady them down to the game.

on the available revenue, inasmuch as
the city must be operated on a cash
basis under the commission plan OF
government. It seemed to be gen

wlLLIsToN BOY IS SEEING THE

thought would write letter to
your paper and let the people OF Will
iiston know of my whereabouts and
also Of some of the things that hap
pened enroute here.
We left Mare Island Navy yard,
California, Sunday morning, Novem-
ber 10th. We passed through the Col
den Gate at noon, and then the fun be-
gan. Our good ship, the Buffalo, did
the rolling stunt as the waves were
running high. About four o'clock the
most Of the boys, who had never been
to sea in their lives, were "heavlng
to" over the sides Of the ship. When
the old ship would go up with the rol-
lers the sensation was like that pro-
duced by the motion Of fast elevator.
ONLY once or twice did the waves wash
over the deck. After we were out
about forty-eight hours the sea calm
ed down, as we were then in deep
water. The ocean was so quiet that it
would have been nice for rowing a
boat and it did not seem so bad after
all. When fellow gets his sea legs
as they say, he does not mind it.
We passed three cruisers on our
way-tae Colorado, California and the
Denver. They were out about five
miles from our ship. They certainly
looked fine standing along in row.
We could see land now and then and
a few water fowls, and turtles as big
as ordinary wash tubs. After sailing
ten days we reached Corinto, Mica
raeua. Here we dropped anchor and
pulled fires. We stayed two days un-
loading stores for the U. S. s. Anap-
oils and the following day we took on
$50 marines. They had been taking
care Of the "spigates," as they call
the people down here, further back
in the hills. Along the coast they
all seem to "savy Americana" all
right. At Leon there were about 6oo
federals and rebels killed in an en-
papement with the marines Only one
private marine was killed. A few
more natives were killed at Granade.
They were fortified on hill and close
bv had another stronghold n their
church. The walls Of the church were
Of stone, laid in cement with iron:
When the marines finally entered
Leon the place was vacated and anoth-
or battle was fought in the valley near
the church. The "spigates" were Kill
ed in considerable numbers, ar1 the
remaining ones surrendered. Inc
whole country was under martial la v,
40 US sailors can't have liberty past
sundown. When the marines got
through fighting they brought al
their belongings and boarded the Buf-
falo Corinto. Some Of the boys
