THE BAD HORSE
FROM BADLANDS
SCOTT GOHR RIDES BADLAND
CHARLEY-SEVERAL HORSES
RIDDEN-NEAR ACCIDENT

Several hundred people took in the
bucking contest at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon that being the
day when Scott Gohr was advertised
to ride the unrideable horse from the
badlands.
Eight or ten horses were ridden dur
ing the afternoon. Possibly the best
exhibition of all was the double rid
ing when Gohr and his rider both rode
a bucking horse. They got on from
each side, each one having a foot IN
stirrup and holding each other on with
their arms. After bucking for Wn1le m
the horse bolted for the corral. The
other riders let him 60 and ne 1 ran
right into the woven wire fance. Inc
shock threw him backwards and ne
fell over onto the men. Gohr was
struck and in endeavoring 6 to get out
of the way Of the plunging horse ne
was struck the second time. His face
was somewhat bruised and his side
hurt. However after short rest he
said he was ready and Badland Char
lev was led forth. He proved a dis
appointment to those who expected to
see some real old time bucking for
after a minute or two the horse gave
up. He pitched pretty hard for a
while but was simply standing on his
hind legs the greater part of the time.
Possibly the horse knew Gohr and de-
cided that bucking would be of no
avail against rider of his reputation.
There was a large crowd over from
Mckenzie and especially from Alex
ander. The Alexander band all dress
ed in white was in evidence and fur
nishd us with some excellent music:
Alexander should be proud of and
willing to support literally such an
organization.

The City Schools opened for the
school year of 1876 on Tuesday Of
this week. On Monday afternoon the
teachers of the various grades, of the
Junior High School, and Of the Senior
High School met with the superin-
tendent and members Of the Board Of
Education for teachers council. At
ter a hearty welcome by President
Borden of the local Board, and a few
words from the superintendent, all
found their way to the domestic
science department where Mrs. White
served light refreshments, and a
pleasant hour was spent.
The provision Of two additional
grades for second year children, by
the Board, has been Immediately
shown to be wise one for about one
hundred twenty five children are en-
rolled in the second year work: One
hundred and three are starting to
school this fall, and are entered in the
various first grades.
A correction should be made con-
cerning the statement of the Dividing
line, as it appeared in recent issues
of the local papers. The line has not
been changed; it is now as it has been,
First Avenue West. Children who
live east of the street attend Central
School; those living west attend West
Lawn.
The faculty and students of the
Junior High School are rejoicing in
the good enrolment there. With an
enrolment of ninety nine, the school
is already larger than at any time
last year. Forty six Of the number
are boys.
During the absence of Miss Clarice
Pfund, who is to teach Third Grade
in Central, Mrs. Greengard is in
charge of the work. On Thursday
and Friday, Miss Crow supplied for
Mrs. Greengard.
Miss Arnold and Miss Davidson,
who taught at Wesr Lawn last year
are teaching in Central this year.
U.s. Miss Johnson advances to Fourth
Grade with her pupils at West Lawn,
to their delight.
The first few days have moved
along with most satisfactory ease. It
would almost appear that there had
been no interrupting vacation, as one
of the teachers remarked.
Many homes were opened to the
teachers, and all are pleasantly stu
ated. It would appear that even as a
business proposition it would be quite
worth while for a boarding house to
be opened for the teachers near the
West Lawn school; and perhaps
another near the Central Schools.
A few inquiries are made concern
ing the age at which children may en-
ter school. There is little to be gain
ed by rushing a child to school. It is
wiser to let him enter school little
over-age, rather than under-age; for
it is better for him to be more ma
ture and do better work than his play:
mates, rather than be less mature and
do inferior work. It must be remem-
bered that a child's work is just as
difficult and just as much q PROPOSE.
ton to him, as are adult problems and
forms of work in later life. It is un-
fair to a child to handicap him by

General Summary
Untimely frosts during the last ten
days Of August have cut down yields
and caused loss to growers Of flax,
corn, potatoes and garden produce.
The only serious damage is to flax
and corn. North Dakota, which is
producing this year about so per cent
Of the flax crop Of the Ninth District,
suffered frosts which have turned
much flax black and damaged field
and fodder corn. Flax in South Da.
kota and Minnesota is an excellent
crop and has escaped injury. Prior
to the frost damage, the flax outlook
was the best in years, and although
the acreage this year is reduced about
IS per cent, the prospect was for
heavy yields.
This late damage, occurring from
Aug. oath to 28th., cannot change the

TORN TO PIECES

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 3.-Chas.
McCaffery of Battle Creek, Mich, was
instantly killed, his body being torn
to pieces when the threshing engine
which he was running on the Bert
Smutz farm, west Of Garske, blew
up this morning.
McCaffery was running the engine
short of water, in order to keep up
steam. The explosion was terrific,
throwing the separator some distance.

Auto Race Friday
The auto race Friday was very in
teresting but owing to the fact that
but one car went through without any
trouble the finish was not as thrilling
as it might have been. There were
three cars entered. The Hollier Eight
by the Auto Mart, the Velie by
Weiderholt and Hentges and the Ford
by the Williston Motor Co. The driv-
ers were, Bob Bruegger, "Doc" Weider-
holt and Leo Kebosky. The Hollier
Eight and the Velie started out with
a rush but the Ford was not working
at it's best and fell behind. For sew
eral rounds it looked like a real race
between the Hollier and Velie but
something went wrong with the Velie
and Bruegger drove his Hollier to
victory, beating the time of the first
days race by about half a minute.
The Velie was unable to finish and the
Ford got second money.

mGi, Drcadnaugln.

Norfolk, Va, March 16.--America'
greatest batlleship. the PenEsyl. ANA,
was launched successfully here today
with a prayer by Episcopal Bishop
Berry of Pennsylvania that she would
prove a messenger of peace rather
than a weapon of destruction. This
is the second time since lS43 that a
battleship was launched with prayer.
Bishop Hoss offered prayer WEeh the
Oklahoma was launched.
Among the 10000 persons partici-
pating in the ceremonies was Capt
Max Trierichsen of the German con-
verified cruiser, Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
now undergoing repairs here The
German naval officer mingled WIN
the Americans throughout the cere-
mony, and was in very Jovlal humor.
Miss Elizabeth Kolh. daughter OF
Louis J. Kolb, of Philadelphia, chris
tened the big ship. and thousands OF
tiny American flags were waved when
the vessel started down the slippery
ways.
A eray-haired old lady approached
the German commander as he stood
under the towering bow OF the Penn
sylvania and grasped him by ms
gloved hand. She was Mrs. M. f.
Thomas of Beacon, y. V. member
of the Society of Friends.
"Commander' she said. II belong
to a society which believes that all
persons should love others as much
as themselves. Do you in Germany
love us as much as you love your
selves? ?"
The Drowned sea raider, just
from ii seven-months' cruise OF mer-
chant marine destruction. smiled be-
nienly. but did not answer. as the
gray haired lady. clinging to his hand,
continued:
Don't you believe that we will soon
have peace? Isn't it time you men
stopped killing each other?"
"Madame,' replied the German
commander, I'VE all believe in peace
but this war had to be. 1t was
necessary war for the peace of the
world. After this war there will be
long peace But at the end OF the
long peace there will come another
war"
AT this mncture of the unusual in
cident. Admiral Beatty, U. 5. n, com

and rescued him from the interview.

DUE HERE TOMORROW

men, are due to reach Pine Bluff about

, the vessel here and will make the
trip to Little Rock as the guests OF

fact that this city already enjoys excel.
lent facilities in this respect, through
the Pine Bluff & Rosedale PacKet
company.

new boat constantly and steadily in
