DR.. A. G. Leonard of Grand Forks,
state geologist of North Dakota, has
just begun a summers work on
geological problems in Dunn county.
Accompanying the doctor are two
student assistants from the univer-
sity, Ralph Roy and Lyle Helmkay.
The special problem to be studied is
the nature and location of the Ignite
deposits in this section of the state.
Standing between two freight cars
when another car was unexpectedly
shunted against one of the cars, E.
l.. Maher, conductor on the Fair
mount & Veblen line, was thrown
under the cars, both feet and one
hand being crushed. The hand was
amputated and it is likely that both
feet also will have to be amputated,
The accident happened in the 500
line yards at Paramount.
Five persons narrowly escaped
death when the touring car in which
they were riding broke a wheel,
turned turtle when about eight miles
south of Mandan on the Ft. Lincoln
road. Luckily all were thrown clear
of the car which turned completely
over, smashing the windshield, fender
and running gear. Miss Margaret
Barth suffered severe bruises and
scratches about the face, neck and
body and Brakeman Booth sustained
a fracture Of the right wrist.
Others in the cal were badly bruised
and cut.
Falling from a horse on a merry
go-round, directly in front of an auto
mobile, struck by that vehicle and
hurled underneath the floor of the
carry-us-all and escaping with hardly
a scratch was the experience of Mary,
aged ~, daughter of Ludwig Barron
of Mandan. The girl became dizzy
from the whirl of the amusement de-
vice and fell from her bobbing mount.
Although rendered unconscious for an
hour, she recovered and was back for
another ride two hours later.
Even the old "swimming hole" af-
fords no harbor for a judge when a
couple wants to be spliced-and
Judge Jackson of New Rockford
bears witness of that fact. Judge
Jackson was engaged in frolicking
about the waters of the Jim river, at
a secluded spot, when he observed a
messenger on shore valiently signal
ling to him. Coming to shore, the
judge found it was a cast of 'cupid's
business" Downing everything but
his coat, collar and necktie-Judge
Jackson FASTENED to his office, issued
the wedding license, spoke the magic
words that bind, extended congratula-
| tions-and in a half hour was at his
swim again.
The war office waived the maxi
mum age limit for members of the
National Guard in order to concede
to the request of William Coates, the
5~1-year-old bandmaster of the First
North Dakota regiment at Bismarck,

border with his fellow musicians.
Coates has been bandmaster at Bis
marck for more than twelve years
and has scarcely ever missed a prac-
tice or a drill of the First regiment
during that time. 1t was because. of
his attentiveness to his duties that
the war department notified Adjutant
General Thomas Tharalson of Bis
marck that the age limit of As years
for members of the guard would not
apply to Coates.
The fifteen-months-o ld-son of Mr..
and Mrs. .Nels Sando of st. Thomas
died recently from scalds received the
previous day. The little fellow, who
was just beginning to walk nicely,
was about the kitchen stove and
caught hold of a small pail which
contained boiling coffee, splitting the
contents onto his face and chest,
severely scalding him, and it is be-
lieved that he also got some of the
contents in his mouth and swallowed
it. Mr.. Sando was but a few feet
from the little fellow at the time as
was also an older girl of the family,
but neither were able to rescue the
baby. Medical aid was hastily sum-
moned and everything done to relieve
the suffering of the little fellow, but
his life could not be saved.
