AUTO DROPS 81
feet FROM V|ADUCT
Edw. Livingston, Driver, and Clarence
Gran Have Miraculous Escape
From Death.

A Paige taxi car driven by the chat
feur, Edward Livingston and carrying
Clarence Gran, dashed thru the rail-
ing on the Great Northern viaduct
shortly after midnight Sunday night
and fell to the tracks forty-one feet
below. Neither of the occupants Of
the car was seriously injured and both
were able to be about that day.
The car had been driven to the
north side with woman passenger
and Livingston was coming up the
west viaduct at fearful rate. 1t was
raining and the side curtains were on
the car. The driver was going so fast
that he failed to make the turn and
the car dashed thru the 2x8 timbers
which serve as a railing. In falling,
the car struck a telephone cable and
this must have broken the fall. The
car struck on it's rear and that part
of the machine was badly smashed.
The front was also badly disfgured
where it crashed thru the railing.
Gran was picked up from under the
wreckage and Livingston fell clear of
the car The young men got few
scratches and bruises but were not
badly injured. Neither one seems to
realize how the accident happened.

Mrs. F. V. Bryant at Tasker this ev-

nance connected with the marriage of
the couple. They had never met until
yesterday, but they had corresponded
and considered that they were so we'll
mated that their two hearts could beat
as one. Miss Bishop arranged to
meet her future husband in Minot,
each wearing red rose to make iden-
tification easy. Owing to the excellent
train service, the bride-to-be arrived
a day early and missing Mr.. Smith,
Travelled by auto to Tasker. Mr..

Bishop at Tasker and she returned to
the city that afternoon.
While the bride is stranger in the
state, those who have met her declare
that she is unusually attractive and
woman who will do her part in MAX

band in the west. Mr.. Smith is re-
garded highly by all who know him

WNL|ST0N ENGINEER
NET TERRIBLE DEATH
John Kelley Drawn Between Cog
Wheels of Traction Engine and Or
gans of Abdomen Were Exposed

Williston, N. D., Sept. 23.-John
Kelley, engineer with the Anthony
Bloom threshing crew, lost his life
by one of the most horrible accidents
ever known in this section.
The Anthony Bloom machine was
working between McGergor ard
Tioga and was moving to new job
While his engine was moving along
the road, Kelley climbed out on it to
adjust some part of the machinery.
Losing his footing, he slipped so that
the toes of his right foot were caught
between the heavy cog wheels of the
traction gear Powerless to stop his
engine or eXtricate himself, the engi-
neer was drawn into the machinery
until the whole leg was crushed and
the muscles torn away from his side
and hip. After the engine was stop
ped, the combined efforts of nine men
were required to pry the wheels apart
and release the victim after he had
suffered tortures for half an hour
Kelley was hastened to Tioga and
received the attention of DR.. Stobie
of that place and DR.. Hagan of Will
liston. The surgeons were able to do
but little more than staunch the flow
OF blood and administer oplates. A
doctor states that in all his surgical
experience he has never seen more
horrible case of mangling or more
eXcruciating suffering. Great muscles
as large as mans arm were literally
torn from the body and some of the
organs of the abdomen were exposed.
The suffering of the victim was so in
tense that he begged for a revolver
to end his life. He remained conscious
most Of the time and gave the ad-
dress of a sister in Minnesota and
stated that his parents were not liv-
ing. Death came about five hours af-
ter the accident occurred.
Kelley was man about forty years
old, strong and robust, weighing
about 100 pounds. Not much was
learned Of his history except that he
had homestead near Wolf Point,
Montana

D0HERTY LAD
A YOUNG HERO
Four-year-old Son of Atty. Doherty
Holds Earl Fey by Hand and Saves
Him From Drowning in Mouse.

Earl Fey, little five-year-old lad,
nearly met death by drowning in the
Mouse river Tuesday afternoon. The
little fellow had accompanied Robert,
the four-year-old son Of Atty. and
Mrs. w. F. Doherty, to the Young
store for some candy. The lads wan
dered down to the river and walked
out on the Bissel dock, where young
Fey sat on the edge dangling his feet
into the water. He fell off into the
deep water and sank. When he came
up, Robert caught him by the hand
and held him, crying for help. Phil
Myers was driving over the west via
duct and saw the predicament Of the
lads. He called to Robert to hold fast
to the Fey lad and the youngster
obeyed, displaying unusual pluck. Mr..
Myers was soon at the dock and pull
ed the youngster out. Had it not been
for the heroic work Of the little Do
herty boy and Mr.. Myers prompt ac-
ton, the Fey boy would undoubtedly
have been drowned as the boys were
all alone.

LELAND DEPARTMENT
STORE IS READY
Big Emporium Out With Unusual
Fall Announcement Quoting Low
Prices in Various Departments.

The Leland Department Store is out
with big announcement this week
concerning it's readiness for the fall
business. It takes work for a big de-
partment store to trim it's sails for a
big falls business. First the buyer
has to visit the most important mar
ket centers of the east and it is not
such an easy task to secure plenty of
merchandise at the right price. The
Leland, however, very fortunately an
ticipated it's wants on staple lines
early enough to get taken care of be-
for the exceedingly high prices 50
that the advance in price is hardly
noticeable.
The Leland never before carried
such large stocks and the business at
present has shown big gain over
that Of a year ago.
Prices are quoted in the big an
this week which ought to
prove tempting to buyers.
