Bismarck Young Man
Was a Real Genius

Grand Forks, Sept. 29.-North Da-
kota has lost real genius in the
death of James Doran, of Bismarck.
Mr.. Moran died last summer at the
age of %. During the past five years
the remarkable achievements of this
young man in scientific experiments
have attracted considerable notice.
His most noteworthy work was the
extraction of radium from it's ore. He
was remarkably successful in his work
in the field of wireless telegraphy.

radium tubes to the chemistry depart

young man of such promise. James
Doran graduated from the Bismarck
high school in 1914. During his high
school course he had busted himself

la coil without aid which, it is said
produced an electric spark longer than
any spark Tesla himself had secured
from his own apparatus. In his labora
tory, which was exceptionally well
equipped, he worked on his radium
problem. He imported pitchblend
from Bavaria which he used in extract

certain it is that his beginnings were
remargable and his promise was great
The young scientist was eager tt

society. He left his chemicals and his

Used a Razor on
His Victim Nose

Minot, Sept. 29.-William Riley was
badly cut about the face by Bud Spen.
Ger at the farm of C. G. Hoover, a few
miles north of the city. Spencer used
razor and a part of the blade was
!, broken off while slashing at the ear of
his victim. He was also cut across the
!, nose. No arrests have been made, as
the parties refused to swear out a
warrant. The injured man is still at
the Hoover home where he is being
cared for. His injuries are not SER
ious. ..a
Both Riley and Spencer are harvest
hands and both were employed at the
Hoover farm. During the rainy spell
the men were loafing about the barn
and in order to while away the time
more satisfactorily, procured key of
beer. While they were consuming it's
contents they added game of cards
to the pastime as side diversion.
A dispute arose between the two men
over the game and the cutting fol-
! lowed.
Yesterday the police arrested Spen-
Ger on charge of being drunk and
when it was learned that he was the
party who did the cutting, notified the
victim and offered to hold the man
on the charge. Riley declined to
swear out warrant and the officials
were forced to let him go.
