for a complete day of rest each week for
these employees.
The Industrial Board included this
tart statement in its refusal:
Most OF them GnStitutions) are sup
posed to be doing service to human
ity; many are maintained by State and
and private charitable funds. And in
the disposition OF these funds they are
supposed to seek the greatest good OF
all, including their employees.
Being intrustcd with funds for be
Inefficient and religious work, they
should SO cooperate these funds as tc
benefit all connected with their opera
ton; and because Of the high idcalsn
in the founding OF such institutions, they
should be the foremost to establish idea

Several weeks ago John Singletary,
we'll known pioneer farmer and ranch
er of the Slope country, left Mandan
for Canada to collect some money a
party owed him. On his return home
he was taken seriously i'll and was
forced to delay his journey for few
days and he stopped off in Minot,
where he consulted physician. After
several days of illness he was able to
get up and be around although not
we'll enough to travel. While conva-
lescent he stopped at a hotel and one
morning he awoke to find that he had
been robbed of $66, this being all the
money Mr.. Singletary had with him,
and he was forced to come home. He
got as far as Bismarck and not being
able to travel any farther went to a
hotel in that city. He was located by
Mr.. Martin and taken to the Wheelock
home, Mrs. Wheelock being former
Mandan girl. There Mr. Singeltary
is now in very serious condition and
under special care of the physician.
Tuesday afternoon of last week at
one o'clock the Dash school house, sit
uated in Towner county near Cando,
was struck by lightning during the
storm which visited that section and
was burned to the ground. Several
of the children in the building were
more or less injured by the lightning,
among them being Arthur and Lloyd
Amble and the Estensen children, Ad-
line and Irwin. Miss Preston, the
teacher in charge of the school, dis
missed the children from their stud
les owing to the darkness and while
watching the storm bolt of lightning
struck the chimney of the building. AS
near as can be ascertained Lloyd Am
Bile was standing directly underneath
the chimney and was the most serious
ly injured of the children. His arm
and leg was badly burned and his out
er clothing as we'll as his undercloth-
ing was torn in many places and part
of his shoe was taken off. He was I'M
conscious when picked up by Albert
rvidson and rorainod in that state
for some time. All the children were
knocked down by the bolt. Adline Es-
Jensen was playing the piano at the
time and she was knocked from her
seat to the floor but survived the

shock sufficiently to reach place of
safety without assistance. Irwin Es-
Jensen lost his hearing as result of
the shock but has recovered. All the
children have recovered nicely except
Lloyd Amble, who is recovering slow
~ under the attention Of a physician.
1t is miracle that he was not killed
outright. Too much credit cannot be
given Miss Preston in her prompt
action in removing the children to a
place Of safety and she is receiving
praise at every hand for her heroic
efforts. AS stated above the building
was burned to the ground very rap
idly and of course there was no time
to save the contents.
