ANOTHER CASE
Of SUICIDE

4 haryssi Tskss Own LIE
81 Hanging.

Frank Stastny, Boi1e mian
labcrer, aged about so years,
took his own life in this city
last Friday night by hanging
himself in a box car near the
Great Northern depot. Des-
pondency is supposed to have
been the cause for the act.
.Stastny had been working
around Bottineau for sometime
past and itu as generally known
that he was in poor health and
that farm work was too hard a
task for him. "A short time ago
while working in a field near
this city the young man be-
came so Ill that he was unable
to stand on his feet.
At about II o'clock Friday
night Manager G. =. Blades of
the Grand Theatre was return
ing films to the depot to go out
on the morning train when he
saw a peculiar object in the
door of an empty box car aid
on returning to his automobile
the bright lights from his car
showed plainly that someone
had either hung himself or had
met with foul play. Mr.. Blades
at once notified the sheriff 8
office and mum berof citizens,
who FASTENED to the scene and
found Stastny hanging with q
rope around his neck. Sheriff
Mclean Immediately cut down
the body, which was still warm
and summoned medical aid
with the hope that the man
might be brought back to life.
but all efforts were Of no avail,
It was at first thought that
Stastny was the victim Of foul
play but on closer examination
it was found that the body was
so close to the floor that he
could easily have save himself.
and as no marks Of violence
were found, the authorities
have no doubt that he took his
own life. III
Stastny has an uncle residing
near this city butt aside from
that very little IS known Of hi.
family, az he spoke but little
English and kept by himself.
The remains were inferred il

Becomes Confused Oh Account n
BlIadssss Wbsa Crossing
Main Street.

Rugby, Aug. 26. Another
shocking accident which re-
suited i'll death on one Of
the crossings on MAR. street
happened in the twinkling Of
an eye, when an automobile
driven by August Mueller, from
near Silvia, struck Mr.. Muir as
he was in the act Of crossing
the street. The automobile,
driven at slow speed came up
Main street from the south and
the accident happened on the
crossing in front of the Jacob
son department. store.
According to the testimony
ofeye- witnesses at the coroners )
inquest, the car was moving
slowly at the time. Mr.. Muir,
who was quite aged and very
feeble and almost Elind, had
crossed out Of the way Of the
car, and then, apparently be-
coming confused, he stepped
back directly in front of the
car. The driver had no chance
to change his direction so as to
avoid him.
The old gentleman W
struck by the fender of the car
and thrown violently to the
ground and it is supposed that
on account of his physical CON
dition the fall was more direct
lily the cause of his death rather
than the contact with the auto,

He was Immediately picked
up and hurried to the hospital,
where an examination revealed
the fact that he had suffered
fractures of the collar bone and
a shoulder dislocation, besides
the general shock, from which

Were Riding Turns Turtle on
High Bridge.

Ray w. Judy and p. y. Stan
ton of Souris, Henry Shredder
and Willard Becker of Russell,
and w. u. Davey of Grand
Forks, were in an automobile
accident one day last week in
which they were lucky that all
were not killed on the spot.
Mr.. Davey, an expert driver,
was driving the four gentle
men in a big Chevrolet car.
their destination being Mack
Vile. N. d., and their mission
being to get two new Oakland
cars, one for Mr.. Schroeder of
Russell and one for Rev. Father
T. j. Eagleston Of Westhope.
They were going along at a
pretty good clip, and, just about
the time they were approaching
a bridge, the man at the wheel
turned to look at the sky which
was becoming overcast with
storm threatening clouds. This
action of the driver proved cost
ly. endangering as it did the
lives of the FIVE men, for hardly
without any warning the big
car crashed over the bridge in
to the water, a drop of over
ten feet.
The driver was pinned under
the car while his companions
were thrown anywhere from 20
to 80 feet. Miraculously the
latter escaped with a few minor
bruises. and as soon as they
could pull themselves together
they turned their attention to
the victim under the car, who.
upon being extricated- which
was eventually accomplish with
much difficulty was found to
be suffering from three broken
ribs ane some bad cuts.
While fastening to a farm
house for aid. a heavy rain com
nnenced to fall whiclFsmade the
party feel more miserable than
ever for they had already re-
ceiyed thorough soaking
when they were thrown into
the water. Upon making tele-
phone connections, aservice car
was sent out from Grand Forks
to pick them up, when the in
|jured man was taken to the
hospital.
How any one Of the party es-
cape death is a miracle, but.
needless to say, they have no
Iintention If going through this
performance again # they can
possibly avoid il, for not one Of
them relished this adventure
which was too full Of fatal
possibilities. Souris Messeng-

in his store doorway viewing

mail order catalogs from the

but began to ponder how he
could circumyent the inroads
these far-away concerns were
making on his business as we'll
as that of his fellow merchants.
The thought struck him that if
he could secure the catalogs
the mail order business from
that town would stop.
He developed a scheme, which
after being tried out is working
fine and is putting the mail or
der business on the run. He
offered 4 prize of q phonograph
to the party who would bring
him the most mail order cata-
logs. It was not long before
the small boy was going right
out after the phonograph.
