A large crowd is much interested
in the laying Of the paving blocks.
There are several artists on the job,
one of theb est ones being mute.
His wages are said to be 81 day
and he earns the money.
Contractor Cakes, in charge of the

which Judge Davis lifted the first
shovel of dirt on the job, presenting
it to the city's president, has offered
to gild one of the creosoted blocks to
present to Commissioner Shaw. Mr..
Shaw is thinking of accepting it. 1t

THE PITY. OF 1T.

That the eleven-year-old Little
Mother, Annie staff, whose first
thought was for the baby's milk bottle
when the Deputy Sheriff, Mr.. Dan
Dougherty said "You must all come
with me to Minot," made many a
heart ache in the Towner court room.
For she was so short and her
shoulders were so broad. They had
broadened to their burden. And her
hands had MIXED 5 cows morning and
night until they were as large as many
a mans.
Made motherless on Mothers Day.
on bright May morning, she strove
to be brave and quiet when she was
called to the witness stand.
"Don't cry, for if you cry you can't
remember" was the advice her aunts
gave her. All, what long, long day
She spent there! Men and brethren;
the able men, learned in the law, whose
knowledge Of Scripture, and it's accu-
rate quotations, gave us all good con-
fdence in the foundation of their
principles, missed one great lesson
taught by the Master, when he said,
"It were better to hang milestone
round the neck, and be cast into the
sea than to offend one of these little
ones"
How much Of the privilege Of faith
erhood has a man missed when his
children cover at the sight of him!
And he never paid any attention to
them, as he strobe by.
They did not know how to play.
They never smiled poor lambs -
who had not been fed the milk Of hui
man kindness.
| It will be good to help them to for

Last Saturday as Lou Avery of
Donnybrook was motoring through
town, accompanied by his wife's
mother, Mrs. X. H. Knutson, he struck
the cross-walk at Bugges store with
considerable force, causing the ma
chine to bound into the air, throwing
Mrs. Knutson with such force against
one of the bows of the top as to tear
off a large portion of the scalp. DIR.
Moffatt of Donnybrook, the family
physician, was called, and assisted by
DR.. Christie, the scalp was sewn to-
gether and the patient made as conf
Portable as possible. On Sunday Mr..
Knutson accompanied by Mrs. Avery
arrived and a son in. Minot came up.
Tuesday No. 1O5 was held until the
patient could be transferred from the
hotel to the train and she was taken
to her home in Donnybrook.
This cross-walk has been the cause
of numerous troubles in the past but
this was by far the most serious ac-
cident that has been caused by it.
To some is might appear wholly
unnecessary, but it was found that

The Sunday School picnic at No
Mans Land, Saturday, was very
enjoyable affair. Notwithstanding
the fact that the speaker of the day
failed to appear everyone had an ex-
cellent time and did full justice to the
sumptous lunch served by the ladies.
Rev. Richmond occupied the pulpit
of the Presbyterian church Sunday

And now let US all ask ourselves
two questions-"Am l my brothers

Let us cultivate loving kindness, in

Let US see to it that every boy and

unless they graduate from the 9Th
grade before reaching that age.
Let us all grow in joy and gladness,

New Castle, Colo, Dec. 17.-All but
nine of the thirty-seven bodies had
been removed from the Vulcan mine
near here early today where every
person in the main workings of the
mine was killed instantly Tuesday by
an explosion of mine gas.
Nine bodies remain in sthe upper lift
above the west entry and in this man
ner all the bodies were accounted for.
One of the rescuers, overcome with
fatigue which followed prolonged use
of the oxygen helmet, fell in chamber
20 west, but was taken out alive by his
fellow crewmen who were following
close behind in the exploration work
where he was quickly revived and
taken to the surface.
Scores of relatives and friends of
the victims stood in the snow at the
entrance watching the rescuers carry
out the bodies, one at a time
The scene was unlike that of most
mine disasters, in that there was not
the slightest hope that any of those
caught in the terrific blast had sur
waited was that their loved ones
might be recognizable. In majority
of instances, even this hope met dis
appointment
Virtually every one of the dead min
ers was born in Colorado.
All were Americans and many of the
unmarried were sons of ranchers and
had lived in the vicinity of New Cas-
tie all their lives.
The exact cause of the explosion is
not known definitely but it is the opin-
ion of the mine officials that the ac-
cumulated gas was set off by a min
er's candle.
The two men in the upper level who
escaped injury were w. ]. Finley and
John Dawson. An air passage in their
part of the mine prevented the gas
from forming there.
Since 1896, when forty-nine men
were killed in an accident much sim
liar to that of yesterday, the Vulcan
has been the dread of all workers in
the coal region.
