Drought Strikes The Community.

Agent Patterson of the Adams
Express Co. on last Saturday received
his order from the company to deliver
no more sprituous, vinous or malt
liquors to persons who patronized his
office, and to return all consignments
in his office to the shippers. This
means that those who have been
accustomed to securing their liquid
cheer from "across the river" will be
deprived of this privilege, and will
either have to go without or make a
personal trip to some wet" locality.
The order was issued in order to conform
to the requirements of the recently
enacted webb Bill.

Considerable Fear And Some Damage.

The entire community has been in a
tremor during the past week because
of the high wind, and reading in the
daily papers of the terrible loss of hum
an life and damage to property, had a
tendency to increase the fear. The
subsiding of the wind on Wednesday
night was followed by one of the most
severe rain storms which ever visited
the county. Aside from the damage at
Paint Lick, which is told of elsewhere
in these columns, there was much dam
age wrought throughout the county,
and because of the disarranged condi,
ton of the telephone system, it has
perhaps not all been reportee. Barns
were unroofed and blown from their
foundations, fencing blown or washed
away. land washed and various other
calamities incident to wind and rain
storms.
The rural routes were operated un-
der difficulty, and James Hatcher, who
drives the Danville stage line, was COM
PEELED to return to Lancaster on We'd
nesday because of the waters of Dix
river being over the pike at the Rankin
bridge,
The bridge over brakes Creek be-
tween Preachersville and Crab Orchard
and the Dix river bridge between
Preachersville and Stanford were both
washed away, and small bridges on
nearly all turnpikes leading out of town
are washed away and the pixies and
roads throughout the county are badly
washed and damaged.

BOY IS TRAMPLED

ANIMAL PAWS CHILD WITH
FEET AND USES TEETH
WITH EFFECT,

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. o.
Louis, the 3-year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. s. Hellar of 825 First
avenue south, was seriously If not
fatally injured at late hour yes
terday afternoon by being bitten
and trampled upon By u horse, be-
longing to Charles Ginsberg, a
local junk dealer. The child, ac-
cording to the story of his father,
had been riding with his older
brother upon a bicycle and had just
been let down by the brother and
was about to run to his father.
The horse, which Mr.. Hellar
claims is a vicious animal, grabbed
the baby with his teeth and threw
him under his front feet and tram
pied upon him inflicting several
cuts and bruises and stepping on
the child's abdomen. While the
condition of the boy cannot be de-
termined at this time because of
the administration of chloroform by
the attending physician to relieve
the intense suffering, it is believed
that the baby will recover, unless
internal injuries develop.
The horse had been left stand
ing in front of the Hcllar residence
by Mr.. Ginsberg, who lives at 418
Oak street and was making a busi-
ness trip about the city. buying
junk.
Mr.. Hellar is a timer at one OF
the local shops and has made his
home in Grand Forks for several
years. ~

GRAIN DOCKAcE:
CAUSES TROUBLE
FARMERS ARE OBJECTING TO
BIG DOCKAGE NECESSARY
THIS YEAR.

Fgssenden, N. D.. Oct. 2.-There
:, has been more trouble this year
between the farmers and the eleva-
tor men than ever before over the
dockage of grain. Elevator <men
insist there have been more nox-
ious weeds in the wheat than for
many years. The farmers admit
there is some truth to the state
ments but resist the extra dock
age. -. .
The chief cause of the trouble
appears to have been the drouth in
June. After the wheat had a fair
start there was a stretch of cold
dry weather in June during which
the progress of the grain was cX-
tremely slow. This afforded an
opportunity for the weeds, being
the harder plant. to forge ahead
and in many instances the wheat
never did catch up. AS a result a
lot of weed seed was matured and
harvested with the grain.
Many of the more enterprising
farmers who have their own gran
ary room are overcoming the diff
ticulty by running their grain
through machines to remove the
weed seed, but farmers without
granaries who are compelled to haul
direct to elevators from the separ-
alto have no opportunity to do
this.
The complaint is general over
the state In addition to weed seed
there was more wild oats and pig
con grass that matuved with the
grain this year than ever before in
the history of the state. Many
farms that had been we'll cleaned
OF other varieties of weeds this
year seem worse infested with wild
oats than lands that had received
less care in former years. Grain
commission houses are urging ship
pers to clean their own grain before
marketing it. In this manner the
shipper saves on freight and dock
age, and can@get-the highest price
on his wheat. The screenings
have some feeding value for hogs.

Chill DREN DROWN
IN RAIN BARREL
TWO TOTS LOSE LIFE IN WATER
WHILE MOTHER Is DIG
GING POTATOES.

Marmarth. N. D., Oct.-One Of
the most terrible tragedies ever oc-
curing in this vicinity occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Vernan
Ostrander when their two young
est children, little girls aged 2
and 4 years were both drowned In
one water barrel.
The father was plowing in the
fields on his farm and the mother
hal gone to dig potatoes for the
evening meal, with no more
thoughts of a tragedy than any
other day when she did the same
thing. Upon her return she look
ed everywhere for the little ones
who had disappeared during her
absence, and after being unable to
find them in the house or granary,
she went to the water barrel, but
little expecting to find them there.
as they had always been cautioned
not to go there and had never done
so previous to this time.
The mother was Mortified to find
both little bodies in the barrel of
water and was Immediately over
come with grief upon her discovery.
The father hearing the mothers
cries of grief came from the fields
and took the lifeless little bodies
out of the barrel; but too late for
resucitation.
While the mother was at her task
of digging the potatoes for supper
the little ones had pulled an old
hand sled up to THE barrel and
placed box on top of the sled, on
which they had evidently been
standing and gazing into the wat
er. 1t is quite probable that the
little one became overbalanced and
fell into the barrel. and the other
one had attempted to rescue her
with the result she also fell in
and both were drowned.
