BALL JUST MISSES. HIS FACE
And Passes Into His House, and
the 8hootist Escapes In tho
Darkness

Steve Braun. the proprietor of
the local moving picture shows
had thrilling experience at his
home on Fourth St., soon after his
return to it last Saturday night,
having been shot at at close
range by either a would-be assas-
sin or hOldup man intent on
robbery, and most likely the lat
ter.
1t was nearing II O'Clock Sat-
urday night when Mr.. Braun re-
turned to his home and following
his custom he went to the rear
part of the house to hook the
screen and open the door for the
purpose of securing better venti-
latlon; He had Just stepped out
side the door to adjust the screen
Ghen stranger stepped up to him
and fired point blank at his face,
The gun being so close to him that
the powder burned his face. The
ball grazed past and entered a
room of the house, breaking
dish.
Surprised and of course
frightened by his sudden and ex-
citing experience. Mr.. Braun call
ed for help and the gunman took
to his heels. The attempt at as
sassination OF robbery was so
sudden and so brief that i'm the
darkness Mr.. Braun is unable to
give any accurate description Of
his assailant, and his indentity is
therefore impossible.
NeighbOrs of Mr.. Braun who
heard the shooting and Mr..
Braun's outcry saw two men run
ming away from the scene of the
shooting in westerly direction,
and it is therefore evident that
the man who did the shooting was
not alone. and that robbery was
the motive. One of the men ran so
fast that he lost his hat, which is
now in the possession of the
heriff. The hat. which was bought
in Winona. Minn., is the only clue
to the wearer's identity, and
seems to indicate quite clearly
that he was a stranger in town,
and that it was not worn by any
local man.
People who have made a pretty
close investigation of the circum-
stances are of the opinion that
Mr.. Braun was followed To his
home by men who supposed him
to have taken some money home
with him from the show. and that
the revolver was an automatic
affair and was accidentally dis
charged. the intent of it's holder
being only to hold up their victim
and secure the money he had by
intimidation.

HAnk,nsox BALL TEAM
Hankinson News

Hankinson people are proud of
their ball team. The boys have
a record almost without a paral-
leel, having won fifteen out of six
teen games played. This is es-
pecially gratifying in view of the
fact that it is a strictly amateur
all-home aggregation without a
salaried man on the team. In
fact. most of the players have
resided here for years and some
of them have declined offers to
play elsewhere for salaries out of
loyalty to their home town. The
boys are gentlemen as we'll as
ball players and have never re-
sorted to unfair means to win,
their success being due solely to
ball playing ability. Hankinson
claims the amateur championship
of the northwest and is willing to
defend the title against any all
home non-salaried team.

CHlLDREN'S CAR
ROLLS INTO RIVER
Serious Accident at Minot Which
illustrates Danger to Young
Auto Drivers
THREE LITTLE WARREN BOYS
Have Miraculous Escape From a
Still More Serious Accident
While Driving

The Times reporter has had
frequent occasions of late to- OBJ
serve the danger that attends oc-
cupants OF an auto car driven by
children on the streets of this city,
and the following account of an
accident at Minot on Tuesday af-
ternoon of this week gives one il
lustratiOn of how one serious ac-
cldent has occurred. There are so
many other ways that the wonder
is how parents can trust their
children to drive an auto unat-
tended.
That the three little sons of E.
G. warren. county superintendent
OF schools, were not killed out
right when the automobile in
which they were riding turned
turtle three times in succession
and plunged into Mouse
River at Eastwood Park is
considered little short of miracu-
lous. Two year old baby Dwayne
is suffering from cOncussiOn of
the brain; Gould Warren. aged t6.
who was driving the car. is pain
fully bruised and cut, and Manly,
aged 5, is seriously bruised and
battered. The baby has slight
chance for recovery.
Could was driving his fathers
seve-- passenger machine at fair
clip along Riverside drive when he
looked back at his brothers. At
that moment the machine swerved
to the left and plunged over the
steep embankment. rolling over
three times and landing in the
river. Manly jumped with the
baby in his arms. but Gould re-
manned at the wheel until the car
struck the river. The machine is
battered and partly submerged in
the river.

ON TO SPARTA

Militia

Pres. Il. H. Tharalson and Secy.
w. A: Stickley of the North Da-
kOta National Guard Association
have sent letter To guard men,
hers urging upon them the inn
portance of participating in the
coming maneuvers at Camp Spar
ia. Wis. where the guard will en-
camp in August.
The letter follows:
10 the Members of the North Da-
kota National Guard:
"On to Sparta" is the cry, and
now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of the regi-
ment." 1t is but a trifle over a

vers for a ten days outing, and

take up the matter with each in

each feel better and will help in
making up the ranks to a respect
able. appearance. The regiment
never has been shabby in appear
ance when away from home and
it is hoped it will not be SO this
year.
Improved Camp Conditions
The premises at camp have
much improved since we were
there in 1910 and are now said to
make one of the hest camping
grounds i'm the middle west. A
trolley line has been constructed
from Sparta to the camp grounds,
which makes it more inviting to
the boys than it was before. The
Milwaukee has also established a
depot on the grounds. known as
Mccoy.

stronger effort than ever to make
a good showing with their COM

they are now in store at Devils
Lake, ready for the summers
trip. There will be no more hust-
ling for transportation when de-
training. as each organization will
have its wagon.
Machine Gun Company
A new and novel addition to the
regiment is the machine gun com
pany of Grand Forks. and the
boys will be in camp this year for
the first time. They have their
guns, are holding regular drills,
and much interest will be taken
by the boys of the regiment in
their maneuvers.
Route Of Companies
The usual custom of dividing
the transportatior en- route to
camp between the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads
will be carried out this year. All
companies will take the road upon
which they are located. At st.
Paul the Northern Pacific com
pany will take the Northwestern
to Sparta. and the Great Northern
companies will take the Milwau-
kee road.
Number Of Men Required
1T should be borne in mind that
thin companies will not be allow
ed at the maneuvers and it is re-
CURED that each company, in or
der TO be eligible. must have at
least thirty-eight men and two Of
ficers. 1t is therefore necessary for
the officers to see that their com
panles are up to this number. and
better if possible.

A GOOD PLAcEro LIVE

North Dakota is a good nome
state. It's rich farming lands
and fine winter and summer eli
mate make it an ideal place i'm
which to work and grow. Few
states will produce so abundant
ly with so little effort as will this
great state and there is more time
for enjoyment and study where
the time necessary to secure a
living is shortened.
More and more people the coun-
trv over are coming to realize this
fact and they are moving to North
Dakota at the rate of more than
$4,000 a year as is shown by the
last census bulletin. Many of our
people who thought that other
sections offer greater opportunity
c"e finding it out and they are
coming back to make North Da-
kota their permanent home. Near
ly every week some of the state
papers carry articles telling of
this. Here are two recent no.
tices: The EsmOnd Bee of July
nth says:
IN. A. Wilder. who moved from
Esmond to Yoncalla. Oregon. -four
years ago has made up his mind
that North Dakota and especially
Benson County is not too bad a
place to live in after all. Monday
evening Mr.. Wilder arrived in Es-
mond with two car loads of live
stock. household goods and ma
chinery with the intentions OF
making his home in this vicinity
in the future. He will erect build
ings on his farm four miles
northwest of Esmond as soon as
possible"

heading:
