LOST FOOT BENEATH
N.P. EXTRA TRAIN

Jamestown, July 26-Thomas meyers
tried to board an extra stock train
when passing through Jamestown Sat
urday evening, lost his hold, fell be-
meath the wheels and his right foot
was ground off just above the ankle
Besides he was struck upon the head
and serious scalp wound sustained
He also lost considerable blood before
physicians reached him.
Mr.. Meyers was taken to Parkview
hospital where he passed a critical
Sunday and where the leg was trim.
med up and the stump removed up
toward the knee.
Monday he was reported much i'm
proved and doing well.
1t seems that Mr.. Meyers had been
working for Archie Ferguson at Eek
elson and came Saturday to attend
the carnival. Later in the evening
he and a companion intended to catch
a freight train back to Eckelson and
their work. Mr.. Meyers is about IS
years of age and comes from Mitchell,
S. D.
The train upon which the accident
happened was a special stock train
of only 13 cars. AS it was light it
was going at considerable speed
through the east yards and Mr.. Meyers
was unable to get aboard on the high
grade there.
No blame attaches to tne Northern
Pacific railway as Mr.. Meyers was
trying to catch the train to secure
a free ride to Eckelson. The train
was rapidly gaining speed as it left
the station and yards and it would
have been dangerous for an expert
enced railroad man to try to mount
it at that point, near the carnival
grounds.

and George S. LOTUS, the champion of

find place big enough to make room
for those who will want to hear the
senator. When Senator LaFollette
was here three years ago the two big
gest auditoriums in town were net
large enough to hold those who wanted
to get in. At that time he spoke first
at the Normal school auditorium,
which seats 1,10O people, and after
wards at the Company G Armory,
which holds 1,50O people, but hundreds
were left outside.
This year the speaking will be at

CARNIVAL BANDhAN LOST
His LEGS UNDER TRAIN

Fargo, July 26.-Robert Burnett,
member of the band with Wortham's
Carnival company, lost both legs at
Casselton Sunday noon when en- route
from Jamestown to Fargo and the In.
terstate fair. -a
Burnett was riding on the show
train and when the train reached
Casselton he left it to get bottle of
milk. The train started before he got
back and he ran to catch it. Burnett
caught hold of the hand rail on the car
when his foot caught on tie and
threw both legs under the wheels.
The right leg was amputated above
the ankle and the left leg above the
knee.
Burnett is now in st. Johns hospital
and is expected to recover.

Big PROBLEM
FACES BOARD

Bismarck, July 26.-The state board
of equalization will meet in the capital
on Tuesday, Aug. 3, and will have con-
siderable interesting business before
it. State Auditor Jorgenson has been
doing a little preliminary figuring as
to the required increase which will be
necessary in order to meet the de-
mands upon the treasury during the
coming biennial period.
The regular expense, plus the appro-
priations made by the last legislature,
require that $3,946,O0O in revenue be
raised. The revenue upon the pres
ent basis would amount to $3,68S, 900,
leaving a deficiency of $258,000. In
order to meet this it will be necessary
to increase the valuation about $780,
100000 for the biennial period, or $780,.
100000 each year.
1t is always the desire of the board
10 Keep the valuation down as much as
possible, in order to prevent the rails
ing of the levy, and it is going to keep
them busy figuring it out this year.
It is probable there will be an effort
put forth to even up the valuation, as
between the eastern and western parts
of the state. For instance, Mckenzie
and Adams counties, young and unde-
veloped, are valued at between two
and three dollars, while Cass is valued
at a trife over seven dollars. 1t is
claimed by some that the western
counties are over-valued, or rather
that the eastern counties are under
valued. This is one feature of the
case which will have to be scrapped
out.

MIND UNBALANCED BY CIRCUS


Lisbon, N. D., July 26.-Miss Clara
Higgleke, about % years old, daugh.
ter of Aug. Higgleke, living ten miles
south of Sheldon, was adjudged in
sane by the insanity board. Her
case is a particularly sad one, as
testimony by the witnesses showed
that the young lady had been acting
queerly for more than a year, or
ever since she attended a circus at
Lisbon last summer. While not at
all violent it was thought best to give
her treatment at the asylum in the
hopes that her mind may be fully re-
stored.

FELL FROM THE
CHURCH TOWER

Robert Belknap, the 10-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Belknap, fell
off scaffold in the tower of the new
Congregational church about p. m.
Monday, leaving him unconscious for
over 20 minutes. Just how far he fell
is unknown. His back was injured
quite badly and it was thought for a
time that he was hurt internally, but
we are glad to hear that such is not
the case.

SECOND AMERICAN ship IS
T0RPEDOED BY GERMANS

Washington, July 26.-The torpedo
ing of the American steamer Leelanaw
came as a shock to American officials
who see in the incident further ag-
.gravation of the situation between
Germany and the United States. AL
though they hesitate in the absence Of
details to construe the act as coming
within the warning of the last Ameri-
can note which pointed out that fur
ther vialation of international law af-
fecting American citizens would be re-
garded as deliberately unfriendly,"
the view is taken that Germany, in ef-
feet, had ignored and disregarded the
earlier note sent in connection with
the sinking of the American sailing
ship William P. Frye, by the German
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich. In that
communication the United States vigor
ously asserted it's position that even
though an American ship carried con-
traband of war, it was peculiarly pro-
tected from destruction by stipula.
tions of the Prussian-American treaty
Of 1928. ~
Flax, which was being carried by the
Leelanaw, was declared absolute con-
traband by Germany, as retaliation
against the British contraband declara.

ILLUSTRATES VALUE

How the Gleason Sweet Pos

Much has been said recently
about the value OF corporation

oil Tennessee has preached II, and
the bankers have taken IL UD in q
movement to advance agricultural
development through special
fund. The Nashville, Chattanooga

has also shown its interest in such
movement in the establishment OF

deavors to find markets for their

The history Of the organization
oi the Gleason Sweet Potato
,Grexers Association Atturds aa is,
teresting example Of the value OF
cooperation. A few months ago
the potato growers in and around
Gleason had on hand IL 900 bushels
ot sweet potatoes, and tho l)cal
markets were full up The grow.
ers began to cut prices, and were
trying to dispose Of their holdings at

The Industrial department of the
N. e. Il st. l.. under the direction
OF Mr. +. NJ. Ewing sent a man to
Gleason who went over the situation
with the growers, The result was
the cooperation Of the producers
and a sale within q short time of

stances. Another result is that this
year they plan 10 raise and market
10000 bushels through the efforts
OF the organization and the interest
which cooperation has awakened.
Another organization has been
formed at Mckenzie, and all this
goes to show what may be accom-,
plished through cooperation. The
same rule applies in other farm de.

better live stock, the purchase of
improved farm machinery. estab-
