We notice the nice gentle

The scurrilous items that have
appeared in the Register Gazette,
of Haynes, N. D., from their Cole
correspondent, are an insult to
the intelligent people of Perkins
County. How anyone can dis
play such ignorance of the laws
of the state in which they live,
especially those governing the
county officials and taxation and
have it displayed is difficult to
understand.
The county officers are govern
ed by law, they take an oath and
give bonds to the county, to abide
by the laws governing their re-
spective Offices. They are in no
way responsible for High or Low
Taxation, and if this correspon-
dent will devote spare time to
School and Township taxation,
he or (she) viii perhaps find it a
pretty good idea TO commence
and sweep out the home Door

Harry Il nin Is
Very Badly Injured
Conductor on Puget SOunt
Lines West of M0bridge
Falls Beneath Train

i
Word was received in Lennon
Tuesday afternoon that Harry
H. Hill, a conductor on the
Puget Sound lines of the Milwau-
kee running here, had been
taken to the Mobridge hospital
in a critical condition, following
an accident, at Mcintosh. in
which he lost a leg and arm.
The information regarding the
accident was very meagre and it
is not known here how the acci-
dent occurred. 1t is understood,
however, while Mr.. Hill was in
charge of his train.
The injured man is member
of Aberdeen lodge l046, B. P. O.
E., and is will known in that
city by the members of the
longe and the railroad boys
especially. A good many Of the
boys on the west end are well
acquainted with him. He has
only worked on this division OF
the road, and entered the employ
of the Milwaukee at Mobridge.
He is married and last year with
his wife went with the Aberdeen
delegation to the state Elks con-
vention.
The following details Of the
accident to Mr.. Hill are taken
from the Mcintosh Globe-Chief:
The entire community was
grieved Tuesday afternoon after
the terrible accident in the local
railway yards. Harry Hill, the
popular freight conductor be-
tween Mcintosh and Mobridge,
while hurriedly crossing from
track No. 2 to go to the depot,
was struck by a locomotive back
ing up on track No. /, just as he
had nearly reached safety evi-
gently must have slipped. His
right leg and right arm We're
caught under the wheels and
was picked up close to the front
of the engine, the big monster
running over MIN almost its full
length, and practically amputa-
ting these two limbs, besides
dlslocating his left hip and other
injuries. DR.. &. l.. Olson was
Immediately summ moned ana
prepared him for the hospital at
Mobridge. A special train was
at once made up with Engineer
| Williams at the throttle, and he
was taken to Mobrldge accom-
panied by DR.. Olson, Agent }.
B. Duvall and several friends.
1t was a race for life. and the
trip of sixty miles was made in
Just one hour and ten minutes.
When it came time for him to be
operated upon Wednesday morn
ing he displayed the nerve OF
steel. and told the doctors he
was ready for the ordeal when
ever they were. He was con-
scious right up to the time he
was placed under anaesthetic for
the operation, and his only worry
was about his wife and child.
Harry is prince of a young fel-
low, and thought everything OF
by all who know him. His many
friends all alon~ the line will be
pleased to learn that he is getting
along as we'll as could be expect
ed, and while his right leg was
amputAted just below the knee
and has lost his right arm, that
his life has been spared. He is
a brother of Supt. Hill OF this
division.

| am convinced that this will re-
suit in unven maintenance; that
there will be a mile or two kept
up in good shape and then many
miles that will be neglected and
go to pieces. | believe that our
road maintenance eventually
will be solved by a oneman light
tractor and that such a machine
taking the place of eight or
twelve horses, will keep 100
miles Of road in good condition.
1t is simply a problem of keep
ing the road properly crowned
SO that it will be thoroughly
drained.
Water and the narrow tired
wagon are the greastet enemies
of the road and with the light
tractor pulling all the drags that
it can handle, properly arranged
to give the road the necessary
crown, we can over come the
evil effects Of both of these. |
tried this out during the past
season to my own satisfaction
and am convinced that with the
proper light tractor that one
man can handle, it will be an easy
matter to maintain 100 miles Of
road through prairie country
when once properly graded. .

WHO are you and what are you
doing here?" one of the detectives
demanded.
Il am going to ask that very ques-
ton of you said Norton. urbaneIy.
We are from headquarters" re-
piled one, showing his badge.
What headquarters? What are
they asking you to do?" he said to
Florence.
They say | must go to the police
station with them"
Not the least In the world
laughed the reporter. You two
clear out of here as fast as your
rascal1y legs can carry you. l don't
know what yonr game is. but | do
know every reputable detective in
New York, and you don't belong"
Good h~eavensi" exclaimed the
princess; do you mean to SAY tht
these men are moi real detectives?"
This girl goes to the police sta
ton, young man. So much the
worse for you II you NEEDLE. Take
yourself off,
All in good time.
Here. Jenner, you take charge
of the girl. I'll handle this guy. He
shall go to the station, too"
What followed would always be
wildly remembered by Florence,
fresh from the peace and happiness
of her school life. Norton knocked
his opponent down. He rose and for
a moment the room seemed full Of
legs and arms and painting men. A
foot tripped up Norton and he went
down under the bogus detective. He
never suspected that the tripping
foot was not accidental. He was too
busy.
The other man dragged Florence
toward the hall, but there the peace
full butler entered into the field of
action with a very unattractive au-
tomato. The detective threw up mis-
hands.
The struggle went on In the
library. A trick of jiu-jitsu brought
about the downfall of Norton's man,
and Norton ran out into the hall to
aid Jones. He searched the de-
tective's pockets and secured the re-
volver. The result of all this was
the two bogus detectives soon found
themselves in charge of two police
men, and they were marched OF to
the station.
Your advant was most providen-
tial. Mr.. Norton" said Jones In his
usual colorless tones.
Il rather believe so. 6 Why don't
you pack up and clear out for
awhile?"
II am stronger in this house than
elsewhere" answered the butler
enigmatically.
We'll. you know best" said the
reporter.
The princess was breathing rapid
ly. No. in second thought she had
no wish to throw her arms about the
reporters neck and kiss him.
