6|Rl SAVED FROM
! DEATH IN RIVER

i: Grand Forks, N. D., April 27.--
Mary Olson. years old, living in
the Brunswick hotel, tried to jump
from the back steps of the Schla-
berg building to raft in the flood
ed Red river yesterday and plung-.
ed into the icy waters of the stream.
1.-TWO little lads, whose names
could not be ascertained, saved the
life Of the child by pulling her out
after she had unsuccessfully at
tempted to save herself. in the
strong; current of the river. :, Per-
sons on the DeMeTs avenue bridge
witnessed the near tragedy. -.
=: The girl had been watching the
Boys at play on the raft from the
back steps OF the Schlaberg build
ing, which is partially in the river,
and decided that it would be fun
to 60 out on it, too.
She beckoned the playing lads
and when the crude craft was a
short distance from the steps made
a Jump, but misjudged the distance
and, fell into the turbulent river.
After she had been pulled out the
bedraggled little girl ran home
and was given prompt aid to i'm
prove her chilled condition. y
With the level of the Red river
still lowering under the thirty-fve
and one-half foot mark of the gov
ernment engineers suage, hope is
expressed that the apparent stand
still in the depth of the stream will
soon be followed by the receding of
the waters.
The force of the excess water is
believed to have been spent and
the crest of the high water prob
ably passed today or will reach
here tomorrow as predicted by the
United States weather bureau.

BUXTON BOY IS
SERIOUSLY HURT

Grand Forks. N. D., April p.
Oscar Johnson, aged 20, was
brought to Grand Forks last night
from Buxton. N. D.; and placed in
a local hospital the result of q
shooting accident which happened
late Monday evening. and it is not
believed he will recover.
johnson, together with CONS

when the 10 ,guage shotgun in the
hands of the friend exploded. and
the charge struck with full force
just above Johnson's knee. COM

bone and inficting a terrible wound
The accident occurred several
miles from the city, and it was two
hours before help reached the in1
jured: lad. Meanwhile he had
been lying on the damp ground
and the wound bleeding profusely.
The lad was taken to Buxton,
and last night was brought to this
City: He was placed in local
hospital and an operation was per-
formed to remove the clothing and
dirt that had collected in the
wound. Over Is pieces of shat
tered bone we're also removed, but
the. limb was not amputated, us
the doctors feared that such step
would cause immediate death.
Blood poisoning has set in and
although every effort is being mad:
to save his life, no hope is enter
tained for his recovery. Had med
ical aid been rendered within a
short time after the accident, ply.
sicians believe that his life could
have been saved. but the amputa-
ton of the limb above the knee
would have been necessary.
The exposure for over two hours
and the long delay at Buxton, is
believed by the physicians in charge
to have been too great a strain fol
Johnson to stand. and his death is
expected momentarily.
