Miss Eva Syre Of Langdon Suffers an
Unusual Accident.

Langdon, N. D.. July 23.-Miss Eva
Syre is confined to her home this week
as the result OF a rather unusual ac-
cident, although her injuries are not
at all serious. 1t seems that a goph-
er had invaded the back yard and Mrs.
Syre took down a little .~22-calibre RI
file that hung on the wall to try her
Workmanship. She loaded the rifle
and was pulling the trigger back when
it slipped from her fingers and the RI
file was discharged.
1t was just at the dinner hour and
Eva, who was doing some work about
the kitchen, happened to be In front
of the rifle Just at the time that it was
discharged, with the result that the
bullet passed through the fleshy part
Of the leg below the knee. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken and her
wound was easily taken care of when
medical aid came.
Mrs. Syre had the rifle pointed to-
ward the ground in true sportsman
like manner, otherwise the accident
might have been, very serious.

TAX LEVY LOWERED.
Cavalier County Will oon BE Out OF
Debt,

Langdon, N. D., July 25.--The most
important matter coming before the
board of county commissioners this
year was that of making the county
levies for the ensuing year
The levy made for the 1914 taxes is
the lowest in the history of the county.
The county and state levy for the past
year was approximately 16 mills, and
as the county levy is lower this year
than last, il the state board makes no
changes, the two items will be lower
ed. The greater part of the taxes are
raised for schools n roads by the
votes of each district, and whatever
these items amount to largely deter
mines the total of the tax. The school
levy alone for the county averages a
little over 20 mills.
The raising Of funds for the bonded
indebtedness Of the county vas passed
for this year., as there is sufficient
money on, hand to pay all indebtedness
and interest this coming year, when
the bonds mature, and the county will
be clear Of all Indebtedness.
