OF PITCHFORK.

L.ankin, N. D., Oct. S.-A young
foreigner giving the name of Adam
Stass was seriously injured in a
runaway accident which occurred
at the E. A. Wambem farm.
He was driving near the engine
after having unloaded his grain

for dinner and the team became
frightened and started to run, the
young man losing his balance and
falling from the rack upon the
pitchfork which he had previous
ly been using. two of the tines
penetrating the chest, one OF
which penetrated sufficiently to
pierce the lung.
The injured man was brought

cut in a wire fence.

SAD ACCIDENT
NEAR W|LL|S1ON
MAN ACCIDENTALLY .etSHOT
: WHILE OUT HUNTING;S DIES
INSTANTLY.

.Wi!liston, N. D., Oct. IA ter
rible accident occurred last Satur-
day forenoon in Mckenzie county
when e. Whitman was accident
ally shot and killed. Mr.. Uhlman
was out hunting a few miles from
the Uhlman ranch with Carl
Erickson's boy and Nat Boyd. 1t
was about, eleven O'Clock when the
accident occurred. The boys had
just found a covey Of chickens and
when the birds flew up it is said
beth hoys shot and in some way
one of the charges struck Uhlman
in the back of the head killing
him almost instantly. The re-
mains were brought to Williston
and funeral services were held in
the gregational church Monday
morning at ten O'clock. Rev,
Bloom conducted the services as
sisted. by Rev. Shaw Mr. Uhlman
was a M emher of the Masonic Or
der and the Masons took charge
of the remains at the church and
held services at the cemetery.
The weeds along the road will
hold snow. In some cases they
will hold so much. snow that the
road becomes imrassable and the
result is driving across the tield
and in some cases the cutting oI
fences. Now is the time to re
move there weeds. SO as to keeI

The Tribune had the pleasure Of
meeting several candidates for
county office on the Socialist
ticket on Monday of this week.
wheni they came here in the inter-
ests of the entire ticket Of their
party. G. A. Bull, candidate for
sheriff and prominent farmer of
near Ignite, R. A.. Owings, candi-
date for clerk of court, and also
a prominent Ignite farmer, G. o..
Grendahl, candidate for register OF
deeds and successful business
man of Lignite, and L. L. Griffith,
another farmer and candidate for
the legislature were among the
party. This office acknowledges
a very pleasant call from the
gentlemen. and we enjoyed a very
pleasant half hour in talking poll
tics with them.
It is sometimes a good plan to
leave some of the corn stalks
standing. Every fourth row left
standing will hold a lot Of snow
on the land. At the North Da-
kota Experiment Station it was
found that one-fourth of the corn
stalks left standing stopped about
as much snow as when all were
left. This will in many cases
mean great deal to the next crop.
The added moisture will make
the soil less liable to blow, and
the standing stalks will check the
wind good deal, near the sur
face, and this also red duces the
drifting. Better try leaying a few
rows and see II It does not pay.
