STEEL CHIP DESTROYS SIGHT

Minor, Sept. 25.-Arthur Norman
of Sedan, Mimi, a member of the
Thompson Yards silo construction
crew, met with serious accident Sat
urday morning while on the Harold
Martinson farm southwest of Minor.
While at leisure the young man was
pounding two hammers against each
other merely for the sake of doing
something and while so doing Clipped
piece of steel off one of the ham
mers, which hit him in the right eye
penetrating the eye ball.
He was hurried to Minor and given
what aid possible. About noon he
boarded the east-bound freight for
Breckenridge to consult DR.. Rice, the
eye specialist. A powerful magnet was
applied which extracted the steel from
his eye, but a report received later
stated that he would lose the sight
and in all probability it will be taken
out to avoid danger Of sympathetic in
flamation to the other, which would
probably mean the loss of it also.

corn is put in the silo they will be run

about Nov. I. They were purchased
at Cut Bank, Mont, by Mr.. Peters,

He also purchased car load of lambs
for the Williston substation. These
lambs will first be run on the stubble
and will then be turned into corn field
to "hog it down." Alfalfa hay will
also be fed them at the same time.
During the last 30 days these lambs
will be fed some screenings to help
add to the finish
This is the third year that Montana

Mining Engineer Sees
Big Gasoline Shortage

Globe, Ariz., Sept. PA serious gas
oline shortage on the Pacific coast, the
effect of which would extend through
out the entire country during the next
year, was predicted here yesterday
during the closing sessions of the con-
vention of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers.
w. r. Hamilton, of San Francisco,
presented the gasoline industry data
to the engineers. According to Mr..
Hamilton, the only possible means of
increasing gasoline production are by
the increased production Of either light
oil or casing-head gasoline, lowering
the grade of market gasoline, or by
successful innovations in refining
methods. Most of these solutions Mr..
Hamilton explained as impracticable
in the immediate future. although he
said that by lowering the grade of gas
oline production could be increased
from 80 to so per cent He attributed
the future gasoline shortage to de-
creased production of refinable oil
(the decrease amounting to 100000
barrels in 1879, the steadily increas-
ing consumption, the discontinuance
of importations and the heavy exports
due to the European war demands.

Edwin Peterson Killed
Saturday Eveningg---Ae
Conided With an Auto

Edwin Peterson, the 11-year.old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Peterson, of
319 Normal avenue, was so seriously
injured at 1880 Saturday evening in a
collision with James Nelson's auto
ing at Riverside hospital.
1t was one of those unfortunate &C.
cidents in which no blame can be at
tached to either party.
Mr.. Nelson had stopped at the Val
ley City Tire Repair Co. to have a
tire inflated. He then drove east on
Front street to turn to come back to
Fifth avenue, being almost across
Third avenue and with his car heading
almost directly northeast. He was
naturally looking to the left, the d.
rection of the turn he was making.
Just then Archie Delaney, Kenneth
Eckel and the Peterson boy, coming
from the south on their bicycles, their
speed accelerated by the grade from
the N. P. tracks, attempted to pass to
his right. Delaney passed easily, his
appearance in the glare of the cars
erson's impact with the fender, Ped
erson having misjudged the speed of
his wheel and the car and struck the
fender of the car. He was thrown to
the ground, the front wheel passing
over his bicycle. The fact that Mr..
Nelson was able to stop his car be.
fore the rear wheel struck the bicycle
shows that his speed was moderate, as
he says, about four miles an hour.
The boy was taken to Riverside hos
pital, suffering terribly, although no
injuries were apparent beyond some
commissions. All the physicians of the
city, with the exception of DR.. Mac
donald, were called in consultation
and decided that an operation was nee
essary to give him even chance for
life. The objections Of the parents de-
layed the operation until the return of
1880. He Joined with the other ply
sicians as to the necessity of an i'm
mediate operation, which was per-
formed.
The operation disclosed that the
boys spleen had been ruptured by the
collision and his condition was hope
less, his death occurring about a. m.
I! Mr.. Nelson is, naturally terribly up
set by the accident, even though he
; is absolved by all who were concerned
from blame He is known as one of
the most careful drivers in the city.
The funeral will be held Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Luth-
eran Free church. Rev. Solheim off,
ciating.
The sympathy of host Of friends
goes out to all concerned in the sad
affairs, but especially to the parents
and relatives of the dead boy.

FIRM OFFERS
BIG PRIZE FOR BEST CORN

The largest prize that has ever been
given for the ten best ears Of corn is
to be given this fall by the Thompson
Yards, Inc. A $500 Weyerhaeuser
STAYED silo will be given away to the
person residing in North Dakota or in
the northern part of South Dakota who
exhibits the ten best ears of corn.
There are absolutely no conditions i'm
posed upon the corn raisers by the
Thompson Yards. All that is neces-
sary for the contestant to do is to
select ten ears and take them to the
local manager of a Thompson yard,
where they will be properly tabled and
sent to the contestant without any ex.
pense whatever. The silo will be erect
ed on the winners farm. This prize,
in connection with other prizes that
are being offered by different inter-
tests in the state, certainly should
create decided interest in corn rails
ing and silo feeding.
