ONE YEAR IN PEN
FOR SEDUCTION

LaMoure, N. D., Dec. 10.-Fred
Sorenson was sentenced to one
year in the state pententiary as
the result of a breach of promise
case tried here.
He was charged with breach of
promise of marriage by Miss Mary
Wilson, daughter of a well-known
farmer of that county, on the
ground of seduction. The plain
tiff was 10 years OF age and testi-
mony showed that Sorenson and
the girl had taken a trip to Aber-
deem, S. d., where Sorenson had
promised to marry her; afterwards
they had gone to Duluth and were
travelling around the country spend
ing the money which she had earn
ed. He refused to marry, stating
at that time he was then married
to wife who resided in Illinois,
and who has since obtained di-
vorce. Avg
Sorenson was defended by George
p. Jones of LaMoure and attempts
ed to prove that the plaintiff knew
that he was unable to legally mar
ry her at the time on account of
his previous marriage. He was
convicted and sentenced to one
years term in tltt state peniten-
tiary.

SAD ACCIDENT At
PARAMOUNT LAKE

Wahpeton, N. d., Dec. 10.--One
of the saddest accidents which has
happened in this county for years
occurred at the lake near Fair
mount, when Harvey Johnson, Is
years old, was shot in the temple
and killed by bullett from a 22
caliber rife in the. hands of Il
playmate. .+ '
The boy in company with a num-
ber of other folks from Fairmount,
were taking advantage, Of the fine
weather and CLASSY ice by spending
the afternoon skating, The boys
had a 90 rife with them, and had
been shooting "minnies" through a
hole in the ice. Something went
wrong with the gun, and while the
two boys were attempting to get
1t into working order again, the
gun was accidentally discharged.
At the instant of the discharge,
Harvey was skating around near
them. He screamed and fell.
People rushed to his assistance,
and physicians We're called, but
death was almost instantaneous.
The bullet struck above and to the
side of the eye, on the edge of
the temple, which explains why a
shot from a small gun could kill 80
quickly.

WOMAN FELL INTO
AN OPEN WELL

Arnegard, N. D., Dec. 10.---While
Mrs. Peter Peterson living south
west of Cherry was engaged in
watering the stock from al open
we'll, about mile from her home.
had the misfortune of falling into
the we'll. in about five feet of wa
ter. 1t seems that the stock was
thirsty and while Mrs. Peterson was
drawing water out of the we'll, the
stock crowded in on her in such a
way as to cause her to lose her
balance and fall in.
There was no one around at the
time Of the accident, only her lit
tie 2-yearold child, who could do
very little to assist her. The we'll
being shallow, she managed in
some way to get hold of the tub.
possibly by the assistance OF her
child AID placed it in 4 position to
draw herself out, after working
frantically for about an hour and
a half. Mr.. Peterson was busy
with other work around the home
and did not pay much attention as
to the length Of time she was
away, as it took some time to walk
that distance and water the stock
After arriving home she contracted
a severe cold which confined her to
the bed.

MRS. LUNDBY IS
SEVERELY BURNED

Sherwood, N. d.. Dec. 10.--Mrs.
Albert Lundby was badly burned
about her hands and face when her
oven In which she was cooking a
porkroast caught fire and exploded.
She smelled the burning grease
and went to open the oven just as
the explosion occurred and the
grease was thrown over her and
scattered about the roof. With
rare presence of mind, she phoned
the neighbors for help, threw the
children out through the window
and bravely went to work to save
the house.
BY getting snow and throwing ii
on the patches of flame that sprang
up wherever the burning grease
landed she succeeded in getting
the fire practically all out by the
time help arrived. when she col
lapsed and was taken to Axel
Johnson's for treatment and care.
Her right hand was badly burn
ed and her face also suffered severe
burns.

down the we'll to liz part OF the

4 Henry Mau, a brother of Mrs.
Batesole and who is employed on
the farm, was assisting Mr.. Bate
sole to fix the pump. After the

cred. There are no bones broken
and only Il few bruises. All the
rock in the. we'll had to be taken

.HOMESTEAOER
TAKES OWN LIFE
rs sssSses~ s

Schafer, Dec. l0.--The dead body
of Lars Yokstad, homesteader
lEang near Elidah postotfice. four
teen miles northeast of here, was
found by his sixteen-year-old son,
dangling from the end of a chain
from the ridgepole of the barn.
Coroner Hinman was notified and
held an inquest which resulted in
x verdict of suicide.
The ridgepole from which Yok-
stad hung himself was scarcely five
feet from the floor of the barn.
In order to strangle himself it was
necessary for him to bend his
knees until they nearly touched
the floor. He evidently anticipated
this as he had taken extraordinary
recaution to prepare the moose so
that after it was once drawn tight
it would not slip. Before making
the chain fast to- the ridgepole he
passed the end through an oblong
wire loop attached to the opposite
end.
For the last several months Yok-
stad was considered mentally un-
balanced. He is native Of Nor
way, having been in chis country
only about seven years. He was
granted citizenship papers some
two years ago. ~ s.

ability to obtain revenue stamps in
compliance with the war revenue
tax law. They were needlessly
frightened over what might easily
happen if they were not on the
minute with their stamping. The
internal revenue bureau in the
treasury department found time
late in the day to send telegram
to the collectors, making it plain
that the government has no inten-
tion of prosecuting anybody sub
ject to the tax who shows he is
willing and ready to buy stamps
and pay the tax. Officials say
that congress did not facilitate the
work of the revenue bureau, but
rather hampered it by failing to
give an additional appropriation to
permit it to prepare for carrying
out the provisions of the new law.

He is reported to have borrowed
