AUTO ACCIDENT At STEELE

Steele, Nov. 29.-Two men, Peter
Dallenberg. well-digger, and Herman
Weisenhutter, farmer, both OF Steele,
are in a hospital suffering with terri
BILE injuries as the result OF an acci-
dent when they drove their Ford car
into Northern Pacific train No. 3.
The two men were driving from the
north into Steele, and apparently tried
to beat thess train over the crossing.
Marks on the road indicated that they
finally tried to stop, but although the
wheels dragged, the momentum was
such that they could not stop. The
front part OF the Ford car ran under
the floor. of the baggage car, was then
struck by the hanging tool box and
hurled around. II would appear that
the heads Of both men hit the side
of the baggage car before the Ford
was whirled to one side. Dallenberg
sustained fractured skull, broken
bones in the foot and internal injuries.
Weisenhutter also suffered bad cash
on the head, broken ribs and broken
collar bone.
They were examined by DR.. Dodge
Of Steele, who ordered them taken to
a hospital On the way west from
Steele they were attended by a Bal
timore physician who happened to be
on the train. ,-s

Mercedes, Tex, Nov. 3O.-Big, husky
soldiers from North Dakota picked up
the Army Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION building here and moved 1t
900. feet to more convenient site.
The building was 24x72 feet in dimen-
sions and was erected for the use of
Texas troopers, which have been sent
elsewhere. When the North Dakota
regiment arrived in the camp, the
Young Mems Christian Association
secretary expressed desire to have
the building moved to point where
it would be more Of an accommodate
ton to the men and he was promptly
told that the men themselves would
attend to it without cost.
The engineers of the regiment esti-
mated the weight Of the structure and
devised a plan by which no man would
carry more than As or so pounds of
weight. Beams were run underneath
the stills and when evrything was
ready, 21O soldiers, at the word of
command, actually picked up the
building and carried it. It was put
down within eight inches of the exact
location the secretary desired. The
achievement so pleased the men that
they cheered themselves hoarse ard
they are making full use Of the facil.
tiles afforded by the association.

States Attorney Says That
Stock Can't Run at Large

Wimbledon News: The question
whether Or not stock is permitted un-
der the law to run at large at certain
times of the year is often discussed
pro and con and the following letter
from the states attorney will be of in.
terest to those who have doubts about
the subject;
Office of States Attorney,
Valley City, Nov. IA, 1916
Mr.. Otto Philippe, Wimbledon, N. D.
Dear Mr.. Philippe: In reply to
your favor of the 18th inst. would say
that stock is not permitted to run at
large in this county. Each person
must take care of his stock.
AS to the kind of fence, that is en-
tirely up to him. The important mat
ter is for him to take care of his stock,
whether he has fence ten feet high
or one with two wires. If cattle tres
pass on another's premises and dam
age any hay or other stuff of value,
the cattle are taken up and held by
the farmer for damage, or he can re-
turn the cattle and sue for damage.
The question of pounds is not involv
ed. 1t is question of damage.
If there should be anything further
that you would like to know on the
subject let me know and will gladly
answer same. NJ. J. Englert,
States Attorney.

FUNERAL OF 0. o. JOHNSON

The funeral of O. o. Johnson was
held Friday afternoon from the Nor.
wegian Lutheran church, Rev. Naeseth
officiating. Mr.. Johnson left here
Thursday evening, Nov. "a, for St.
Paul. He stopped at a private hotel
where he was accustomed to put up
when in that city,. He evidently made
mistake in handling the gas jets,
as the one for light was burning and
the one for heat was opened. The
result was that Mr.. Johnson was as.
phyxiated. The remains were brought
here by his son Albert, who was mott.
fed at Denton, Mont, and went to st.
Paul to take charge of the body.
Mr.. johnson came to Valley City in
1882 from La Crosse, Wis. He
leaves six children, CLAUS, of Square
Butte, Mont, Albert and Gilbert, of
Denton, Mont, Ben, of Fingal, and
Anna and Clara, of Valley City.
Mrs. johnson died about ten years
ago and was buried in Woodbine Gem.
etery and Mr.. Johnson's remains were
also buried there. The deceased was
about 10 years old.

constructed by w. j. Curren for Drs.
Macdonald and Zimmerman. 1t is not
known just how the fire originated,
but it is thought to have started from
improvised stoves which were used in
the building to keep the place warm
for plastering. The loss is consider
able, estimated by Mr.. Curren at
$1,000, and would have been more but
for the prompt services rendered by
Druggist Sigurdson with his fire ex-
tinguishers and the timely aid Of the
fire department.
The building is being erected by
Drs. Macdonald and Zimmerman and
will be, when completed, a modern
building, both as to structure and
equipment. 1t will be occupied about
Jan. /, 1917, by Drs. Macdonald, Zim-
norman, Spicer and Roberts. Later
on these doctors will be associated
with and assisted by physician who
is especially skilled in laboratory
diagnosis and laboratory technique.
The building will be used exclusively
for medical and surgical purposes.
