ing four ounces and nine pvt, which
they found in mining on that stream.

to mining. In addition to the large
nugget, they had several smaller ones,
amounting in all to about $16O. This
gold was found in the same section

A very unfortunate accident
occurred last Friday evening at
about s: 80 O clock in front of
the Chas. Helming place on
the road leading south from
town when two autos belong
ing to DR.. Foster and Bob
Davis came together.
Bob, in his car loaded with
four youngladies and his brother
Pat, were on their way to the
dance at Lock woods grove,
while DR.. Foster was coming
in town. 1t seems as though
both drivers were waiting for
the other to turn out and as a
consequence both left the road
at the same time when only a
few feet apart coming together
before either driver could stop
his car. Neither car was up
set but the occupants of both
were thrown out and the Over
land driven by Bob was turned
completely around leaving
them both facing one way.
The most fortunate part of
the affair was that none of the
occupants were seriously injur-
ed but were shaken up suffi-
ciently to realize that they had
had a spill.
The cars did not fare so well
as both were pretty badly dam
aged and are on the shelf for
repairs.
All that can be said of the
accident is that it is one of
those unfortunate OCCuranCes
which will happen at times
even to the most careful driv.
ers. -Lansford Journal.

former by a score of IA too.
The baseball game in the
evening between Bottineau
and Lansford was the big game
of the day and from the way
things looked before the game
it was thought Bottineau had
no chance. The Lansford team
had strengthened up consider
able for the game, expecting to
take home the long end of the
money, but this was not the
case as BOttineau won 5 to 2.
