crete Parties on Suad3y

DR.. r. E. Cutie and Mrs. Sidney

late Sunday evening, which nearly
cost two lives. Dr. CUTIE, accom-
panied by his daughter-in-law and
little baby, drove over 10 Olga during
the afternoon for a visit and were
accompanied OH their return by Miss
Cross. While going down the big
hill at Concrete the horses became un-
manageable and in a moment were in
full run away. Dr. Cuffe and Mrs.
Sidney Cuffe and the baby we're
thrown over the dash board between
the horses and were quite badly
bruised by the l?oofs DR.. Cutfe and
the baby sustained the most severe
injuries and for a time it was thought
that the baby could not recover. The
horses finally tore loose from the
rig and ran in different directions,
one of them finally running into the
barn, the neck yoke catching in the
barn floor and penetrating about four
teen inches into the breast. Miss
Cross escaped uninjured ana hurried
to Concrete, a couple Of miles away
for assistance, which was speedily Sc
cured and the injured people were
brought to town and attended 70. The
night was very dark and the experience
one that the participants would never
again want to undergo. Milton Globe

DOI TlNGS OF TOUR
AROUND THE COUNTY
Things Seen and Heard on Trip of
Devils Lake Journal Man Over
Cavalier County.

'Cavalier county is harvesting a
pretty fair crop, little better in some
places than was expected, not quite
so good in others, the average wheat
yield being placed as II to II bush
els. But the people of Cavalier are
smiling; they cultivate the smiling
habit; they have other things beside
wheat to rely upon. Corn fields, par
ticularly in the eastern part, are nu-
merous, cattle and hogs in large num-
bers are to be seen and the new order
of diversified farming is working Won
ders in our neighboring county to the
north.
#s,#
And they have big and little
farmers in Cavalier. SenatorPlain, his
neighbors call him ''Charlie'' Plain,
farms a hundred and twenty-five quar-
ter sections, or 20, 900 acres. His
home farm is near Milton and this
farm residence would make "city''
homes look like claim shacks. But
the farmers who own farms of l6O
acres make more money, acre for
acre, than Senator Plain. There are
many people in North Dakota who
will regret that Senator Plain will
not be in the state senate next winter
In the whirligig Of political jugglery
in Cavalier last June he was left out
He was one of the strongest men in
the senate and commanded much in
'%1uence.

There is something wrong with H.
T. Helgeson. Do you know him
No! Perhaps you have heard Of him.
Can't just place him? Well, no Won
DER; he is the man who represents, or
rather misrepresents, the people of
this, the First district, in congress.
His home is at Milton, but the people
there do not seem to think much of
him. Seldom, if ever, has he been
able to carry his own precinct, and it
is freely predicted that he will lose
his own county this year. If the peo-
pie of his district knew him as we'll
as people of his home town, Fred
Bartholomew majority would be
about 25, 900. But it will be large
enough anyway.

Calvin, one of the prosperous
towns of western Cavalier, enjoys the
proud distinction of having the finest

towns there is no jealous rivalry

at Calvin one of the finest buildings

the upper floor will be used for hos

handsomely finished. The doctor en-
joys large practice and is kept busy
all the time He is valuable man
to any community and has done much
to put Calvin on the map. Probably
the two best known men in western
Cavalier are Doctor Porter and Archie
Sillers, Jr. The Sillers family is
prominent in the county and Archie,
Jr., is the'' boss'' at the First State
bank. He is extensively engaged in
farming and is leader in the develop
ment Of the county,

The people Of southwestern Cava-
lier are particularly interested in the
candidacy of Chas. H. Dunigan for
county commissioner in the second
district He is farmer, a good busi-
ness man, good citizen, and will
make splendid official. No man
stands higher in the community ard
while he is running on the democratic
ticket, he will receive the support of
many republicans.

Many Ramsey county citizens will
remember H. A. Moore, son of the
late Levi Moore For several years
he has had charge of the Northland
elevator at Gallo. He keeps in
touch with affairs in Ramsey county
and takes keen interest in events in
his old home county.
Xxx
Another grain buyer at Gallo is
August Lindquist. The elevator he
runs is next to H. A. Moore and they
are real competitors. Moore is Irish
on his mothers side, and August is
all Dutch. During the war now in
progress in Europe they do consider
able fighting jaw bone. They meet
every day and agree upon line of
battle and hop to it. That is one
reason why the Gallo grain market
rules little stiff. Otherwise the
men are good friends and get along
swimmingly-s sometimes.

\. U. Peterson runs the only bank
at Gallo. He was formerly associat-

desiring to start something may be
accommodated by intimating that U.

Peterson. Cavalier county, it will
be remembered, went strong for Bur
dick at the primaries. No wonder
men like Peterson were supporting
him.

Former College Player Wins
Gruelling Singles Match
from Voshell at the
Englewood Club.

G.. Carlton Shafer, the former Prince

pion lawn tennis player of the State OF
New Jersey yesterday by his defeat "t
S. Howard Voshell, Eastern New YORK

sets
After their gruelling match In singles
Shafer and Voshell began the final round
of the doubles, Shafer pairing with Wylle
c. Grant and Voshel with +. c. Bags.
This match remained unfinished, owing
to the lateness of the hour, after Shafer
and Grant had taken the first and fourth
sets and Voshell and his partner had won
the second and third. The score was -.
81, 2-6. 6-3. The deciding set probably
will be played to-morroy.
Before entering the final round in the
doubles Shafer and Grant defeated q. A.
Gordon and A. Fraser-Campbell in the
seminal round By score OF Cd, SIS.
This made total OF ten SETS or l03
and gave added proof of his remarka bic
powers of endurance.
Every seat was occupied about the
court when Shafer and Voshell began
warming-up practice preparatory TO the
supreme test of the day. Both men had
their "rooters' gathered on the side
lines and there was an air OF subdued ex-
citement as play began.
