Chief "BilI OLeary, of the Minot
fire department, saved the life Of a
bulldog who was tied under a bed
in a burning house in that city re-
Gently. As soon as the firemen had
the flames sufficiently under control
so that it was possible to enter the
house, the fire chief went in and re-
leased the dog, which would prob
ably have suffocated.
Sigurd Jensen, a farmer near Cogs-
we'll. lost several cattle and a valu-
able horse because of his failure to
have his pasture fence grounded.
When a. storm came up the animals
crowded into one corner of the pas
cure and lightning struck the fence
and ran along to where the animals
were huddled up and killed the en-
tire bunch.
There was almost a double tragedy
at the threshing rig of Martin Tin
Doe, near Sylvia. In starting the en-
CINE gasoline escaped and exploded
blowing a part of the cylinder off
and striking the engineer in the face,
knocking him down. The separator
man saw the accident and started to
his assistance, but slipped and fell
into the feeder. The knives cut his
sleeve to shreds, but they both es-
capped serious injury.

A trunk was stolen fro mthe Great
Northern depot at Hannaford and
carried out into a field, broken open
and the contents rifled. The trunk
was a strongly built affair heavily
reinforced with iron bands which led
the thieves into the belief that it
was a sample trunk of some jeWelFy
firm. Imagine what must have been
their feelings when they found the
contents of the trunk to consist
| chiefly of horse blankets.

A farmer named Stammen, living
near Foxholm, who put his entire
quarter section of land into wheat
this spring, received a return OF 4,30O
bushels, which he sold for $4,772, ac
sl.11a bushel. In other words Mr..
Stammen received for one years
crop Of grain as much money as II
would have taken not so long ago to
buy 100 acres of land in that same
section of the country. His wheat
went about q bushels to the acre.
To show that there is money In
COWS Mr.. L~aufenberg, who has re-
turned to Jamestown from central
Wisconsin, cites an instance he ran
across there Of a man who owns 2Oo
acres of swamp and hill land, only
about a third of which he can cult
vate. Yet from that unpromislng
base the owner sells daily a thousand
pounds of milk to the cheese rae
tory. His daily receipts are De.
tween $14 and SIS from his + OF
40 cows.
It required three shots for j. A.
frank to dispatch the largest lynx
seen near Fryburg in years, when he
opened fire on the animal, which mao
been destroying local poultry and
pigs. He crippled the animal at the
llrst shot and it charged. A second
shot did not finish the brute and by
the time the third shot dispatcheo
the lynx it was within a few feet OF
Frank. A. few minutes later Frank
saw it's mate, but It was 100 lai
away to hit.
While starting threshing opera
lions on his farm south of Tioga,
Andrew Simon met with a painful &C
cident, which broke one rib and loos'
ened another from his spine. He was
passing between the main drive Delt
from the engine to the separator, just
as the machine was slowing down,
the heavy belt coming together ano
catching him, throwing him into the
air. It is indeed unfortunate for ME-
Simon as he will be unable to DO any
work around his rig the remainder
of this season.
