Barthold !. GeTdts. a farmer living
just west of Elysian, was today report
ed TO be in critical condition at his
home, on account or an accident that
occurred last Wednesday morning.
About eight o'clock he was driving
across the Dan Patch tracks about a
block east of the depot, intending to
go TO the creamery. The Dan Patch
train had already made stop at the
depot and was starting out again on
its trip towards Minneapolis. His six
ear-old daughter was in the wagon
with him. He happened to be looking
at piece of machinery alongside the
road and was not thinking OF the
train. IL Is reported. II is 4 bad cross
ing. anyhow. A house obstructs the
view of the track. He had already
driven his horses across the track,
and part of the wagon was over, but
the train struck the rear end of the
vehicle. He was hurled into the air
and landed on his head and shoulders.
At first IL was thought that his neck
was broken. Even now II is uncertain
whether the neck might have been
thrown out of joint and then thrown In
again. At all events, the neck was
badly sprained and there was an ugly
scalp wound. Strange to say, the lit
tie girl was not hurt. .... Sab.
MIR. Gerdts was attended by Drs.
Allen and Long of Elysian. DIR. c. J.
Holman OF Mankato has also gone to
Elysian to assist in caring for the in
jured man. The victim Is fifty years
old, and has a large family. Finan-
cially he Is In good circumstances.
The engineer stopped the train as
quickly as he could after the acct
dent. bringing II TO half within 100
feet.

WARNING AGAINST
S|LO AFFIRMATION

Farmers are reminded of the danger
of death from asphyxiation during the
filling of the silo. This subject was
recently discussed at a medical confer
ence at Grand Forks. Large amounts
of carbon dioxide are produced in the
silo from the green crop and may col
lect in dangerous quantities if condi-
tions become favorable. To avoid
such an accumulation of the gas, the
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1915-09-16

doors should be left open as long as
possible. Men should not stay in the
silo when the blower is not running,
and especially they should not sit or
lie on the fresh silage. If the work
has been interrupted for any length
of time, men should not again enter
the silo until the blower has been
running for a few minutes. This re-
moves the dangerous gases. In the
case of a pit silo, men should never
remain in the silo when the blower is
not running, and the blower should
always be started before anyone en-
tiers the silo.
