Mott, N. D.. Jan. 25-A. l.. Patter-
son, a we'll known bachelor farmer of
the Black Butte country northwest of
Mott was found dead in his shack by
neighbors, the cause Of his death
being heart failure. The news Of his
death came as a shock to many
friends, as the day prior to his death
he drove to Regent to purchase sup
plies.
On Thursday, neighbors who lived
nearby noticed the young man had not
been out OF do his morning chores, but
thought nothing Of it until about noon,
when Vern Page called at the farm for
an investigation. He found the doors
locked, but before going in called up
Melvin Amundson after which they
both returned and entered the house.
They found Patterson dead in his bed,
the body lying face downward. DR.. Hill
was Immediately summoned when it
was learned that the bed clothes were
still warm, which was evidence that
the man had been dead but a few
hours.
Patterson had been a sufferer of
heart disease for several years and
had at the time received treatment
for the illness. At the inquest it was
decided that death was caused from
heart failure.

Such a Measure
BACKED BY STATE CLUBS

Devils Lake, n. D., Jan. 25.-Coun-
ties in North Dakota will be compelled
to hire public nurse, if a bill draft
ed by DR.. c. J. McGUrren Of this city,
secretary Of the state board Of health,
at the instigation of the federated
dub women Of the city, becomes a
law. The bill provides that the coun-
ty commissioners shall appoint a Wis
iting nurse with salary of not less
than $50 or more than 1920 a month
and expenses, and outlines qualitica-
tons and duties of such officer.
Z The city federation Of women's
clubs has for several years made an
effort to secure a public nurse in
Ramsey county. In some places Of
the state such a nurse is hired by the
county, and in others, the county SUI
perintendent of schools, exercising the
right of appointing a field deputy. has
chosen a nurse for this appointment.
But states attorneys have held that
there is no provision in the law for
such an officer and If county commits
sioners appoint one, they are liable for
the salary, should taxpayers object.
: The bill has the endorsement of sew
eral large organizations of the state,
Including the state federation Of wo-
mems clubs and the state nurses and
doctors associations. At their last
meeting the state health board rec
commended that some similar bill be
prepared for this legislature.

TROUBLE HEAPED ON
The HOOK FAMILY

York, n. D.. Jan. 25.-To lose two
children within a week, one by acct
dent and the other by diptheria, to
have another son in precarious con-
dition from the effects of poisonous
gas, and their home quarantined, is
the combination of troubles heaped
on Mr.. and Mrs. Hank Hook of York.
The trouble started on the Hook
ranch in Wyoming, where Mr.. Hook
and his sons, Martin and Henry, were
digging a well. Martin, while at the
bottom Of the we'll, was overcome by
gas, and Henry, going to the rescue,
shared a similar fate. Help was Sc
cured and both were brought uncon-
scious to the surface. Martin passed
away after a few hours, but Henry
is making a gallant fight for life, and
it is expected that he will recover.
A six-year-old daughter, who was
with her mother in York. was strick-
en- with diphtheria, and died, so that
when Mr.. Hook arrived from Wyom-
ing with the body Of his son, 1t was
to find his daughter dead and his
home quarantined.
