SPECIAL TRAIN FOR
LIVE STOCK SHOW
EFFORT BEING MADE TO GET
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
INTERESTED
Itinerary VIII Include Full Days
Entertainment In South St.
Paul
If sufficient interest is manifested

If sufficient interest is manifested
by the farmers Of the north end OF
the state a special train may be run
to give them an opportunity to see
the great International Live Stock
Show at Chicago, the classic event OF
all stock shows. Local parties are
planning to cooperate with the Great
Northern toward this plan and there
is activity at other points along the
line. The Grand Forks Herald says:
An endeavor will be made to run
a special train of North Dakota farm
ers and business men to Chicago the
first part of December to take in the
International Livt Stock show, De-
cember 2 to 9.
A very large number of people were
ready to make this trip IN December,
1915, and some 200 reservations were
made with the committee having the
matter in charge at Grand Forks
when the outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease brought about the
abandonment of the 1915 show.
So many inquiries have been re-
ceived in the past few weeks asking
if the trip will be made this year thai
it has been decided to go ahead,
should sufficient number wish it..
The itinerary will include a full
days entertainment at the South st.
Paul stock yards, one day at Madl-
son, Wis, or at some we'll known
dairy farm in Wisconsin, and three
davs at the international in Chicago.
The only object of the excursion
will be the study of live stock con-
ditions at close range and under the
most favorable circumstances. The
train will be run over the Great
Northern and the officials of this road
are in hearty sympathy with the idea
and will use every effort to provide
the best of service
M. c.. Bachelor and Don V. Moore
of Grand Forks were chairman and
secretary, respectively, of last years
committee and will handle the pre-
linninary details at this time. The
committee will consist of we'll known
men from the towns along the Great
Northern where interest is made
known in the movement.
It is desired to have an expression
from all over the northern part OF
the state and in northwestern Mime
sofa at a very early date, so that tlnal
arrangements can be made. The trip
will be made at a cost of not to ex-
ceed $40 based on Grand Forks as
the starting point and will include
railway fare, sleeper accommodations
during the entire trip, dining car
service and entertainment at st. Paul,
Madison and Chicago. The party will
break up at Chicago and come home
at the individuals expense.
This price of $40 is not official and
will probably be lessened, but vii!
depend upon the amount and cost of
entertainment provided. The passen-
ger department Of the Great Northern
will present figures at an early date
showing entire cost from any town IN
northern North Dakota and north
western Minnesota.

ENGINEER MANGLED
IN TRACTOR GEARS
John KELLY VICTIM OF FATAL
ACCIDENT NEAR McGREGOR
LEG TORN OFF

John Kelley, engineer with the An
thony Bloom threshing crew, lost his
life by one Of the most horrible acci-
dents ever known in this section.
The Anthony Bloom machine was
working between McGregor and Tioga
and Tuesday evening was moving to
a new Job. While his engine was
moving along the road, Kelley climb
ed 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 extri
cate himself, the engineer 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 stopped, the combined
effort of nine men was 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 opiates. Dr.:
Hagan 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 LITERAL
ly torn from the body and some Of
the organs of the abdomen were ex-
posed. The suffering of the victim
was so intense that he begged for
revolver to end his life. He remained
conscious most Of the time and gave
the address Of a sister in Minnesota
and stated that his parents were not
living. Death came at II o'clock,
about five hours after the accident
occurred.
Kelley was a man about forty years
of age, strong and robust, weighing
about 100 pounds. Not much was
learned Of his history except that he
had homestead near Wolf Point,
Montana 81.

WATFORD ATTORNEY
DIES IN W|LL|ST0N
EASTERNER WHO GRAD
UATED AT n. D. UNIVERSITY
TAKEN SUDDENLY

Solomon Esberg, an attorney who
recently has been associated with &.
C. Converse at Watford City, died in
local hospital early Tuesday morn
ing.
Monday Mr.. Esberg was brought
from Watford City by physician
and intended to go to Grand Forks
to enter St. Michael's hospital, but
after arriving here his physician ad,
vised that he was too weak to trave!
and should go to a Williston hospital
to regain strength.
About four years ago, Mr.. Esberg
who is graduate of the law depart
ment of the North Dakota university,
came to Williston and practiced his
profession a few months. Later he
established himself at Great Falls
from where he returned to his former
home in the east. This summer, fail
ing health made it necessary for HIM
to again come west and he formed
partnership with Mr.. Converse who
maintains offices at Schafer and Wat
ford City.
Solomon Esberg was native Of
Perth Amboy, N. j.. and was about
% years Of age. Deciding upon
legal career, he took the course at
Columbia university, continuing with
in three months of graduation, when,
on account of tubercular trouble his
physician advised that it was imper-
ative that he come west. He took
years work in law at the State uni
versity, graduating with high honors.
Immediately afterward he located in
Williston. This climate made some
improvement in his condition, but af-
ter returning east he grew rapidly
worse and was obliged to come west,
again. He was a man of liberal edu-
cation and an interesting converse
tionalist. During the time he was in
Williston he gained many friends.
Mr.. Esberg's people had already
been summoned before he left Wat
ford and arrived in Williston this
morning.

B0LLEY FINDS BEST
SEED IN NORTH WEST
SEED EXPERT VISITS WILLIAMS
COUNTY FOR SEED WHEAT
INVESTIG
Advises Farmers Having Fair Grades
TO Hold And Have Tests Made
At LabratOry

North Dakota will require 3,OOO,O0
bushels of wheat to seed the l9lI
crop and a large part of it must come
from the northwest corner OF the
state, is the assertion Of Prof. IL. L..
Bolley, state seed commissioner and
one of the highest authorities on mat
ters pertaining to cereal crops.
Prof. Bolley spent day in Will
iston and vicinity the latter part OF
last week to get in personal touch
with the wheat situation. He visited
the Williston Sub Station farm and
examined samples Of local wheat. In
long interview, granted the Graphic,
he said there was certain to be an
unusual demand for good seeds of all
sorts grown on the farms for use
next season. The greatest demand
will of course be for wheat of good
termination test. Every farmer who
has wheat that weighs upwards OF
54 pounds to the bushel and is IN
position to hold it for seed purposes
should send a sample Of at least half
a pound to the Seed Laboratory, Ag-
ricultural College, for termination
test. Every effort will be made
give prompt service and to bring
those having seed and those needing
seed IN touch.
Better Rotation Basis
There is sure to be big demand for
western grown seed of all kinds as
there is but little in the eastern Sec
tions that will be fit and the western
grown grains will be best for the
needs brought about by the present
conditions. Field seeds of every sort
will be needed for many farmers Will
wish to try wider range of crops so
as to gradually get on a basis for
crop rotation to escape loss from rust
and other blights so destructive under
constant wheat culture.
Every farmer needs alfalfa, corn,
clover, millet, field peas, sudan grass,
etc, said Prof. Bolley. "Say to you.
readers that every effort will be made
to place those who have good seeds
for sale and those who need seed in
touch with each other" To do that
the laboratory must have chance to
analyze and test the seed offered and
good sized sample lots should be sent
in as soon as possible.
In speaking of the conditions that
resulted in such poor yields and quail
ity Prof. Bolley said that his investl-
cation showed that scab and four or
five other blighting diseases did most
of the damage to the wheat crop and
made it susceptible to the ravages of
stem rust. The older the soil the
greater the chance of disease infec-
ton. That is the reason for more
good wheat the present season in the
newer sections Of the west.
Farmers will do well, said Mr..
Bolley, to take an interest in the an
nual Pure Seed Show and Contest
that will be held at Devils Lake, No.
vember Is, 16, II by the North Da-
kota Improved Seed Growers Asso-
citation.

Benefit Dance Proved
Delightful Occasion

The benefit dance held at the Arm
ory Monday evening proved one of
the greatest successes ever scored by
a similar event in this city. The idea
of combining delightful social af-
fair and a means Of contributing to
the benefit fund for Company p, now
on the Mexican border, originated
with several public spirited young
ladies of the city who were ably as
sisted by friends and relatives of the
company members.
The Armory was made beautiful by
profusion Of garden flowers, and ex-
cellent music was provided. A lap
lunch was served in the basement and
was a very popular feature. Nearly
$50 couples were in attendance and
the dance promoters realized gross
receipts of about 1925.

MORE SPACE FOR WILLISTON
DRUG

Messrs Bradley and Cutting have
secured from Geo. w. Newton the
room that has been occupied by H. V.
Smith as an Office and added the much
needed space to the Williston Drug
Company's store by cutting large
doorway between. They have not
decided just what lines will occupy
the annex but think perhaps it will
make satisfactory headquarters for
the "hot stove league and the world
series dopesters.

 Fought Contest.

 There was one big feature to the game, iiis being that Dixie" Walker pitched four full rounds for the regu- jars and held the opposing batters down to a single hit. Walker s ap- Earently in midsummer form, and if he works through the season like he worked yesterday, he will be winne" for the Brewers in their pennant fight.
 Walker, Young and Allen for the regulars. and Hovlick, Slapnivka and O'Farrell for the yannisans, were the batteries. Each side drew II hits. but the regulars made theirs more valu- able, n actual results. Aliens catch ing and hitting was exceptionally good yesterday, and the former Husfed is showing mighty fine forr1 new, improving right along.
 Some of the long hits were triples by Gervais and Csichlow, doubles by Allen and Martin, Allen drawing a brace of 'em, and two singles each for K rke, Hovlik and O'Farrell Mar tin and Gervais each drew a single in addition to their sxtra-base drives.
 ''In two more days, we will be ready to go the route.' was the ex. pression used last night by Secre- tary L. M. Nahin of the club. He is delighted with the showing being made by the Brewers. and is of the op'nion the outfit will be a most pleasing surprise to the Milwaukee fans, when the American association season gets under way.
