DETAILS OF DEATH
OF FORMER RESIDENT

Particulars of the death of John v.
Wicker, engaged in the. florist bust
ness in this city for many years, who
was run down by a train at Lyons,
Ill, were received here yesterday.
Mr.. Wicker was walking on the
railroad track near his home, when
he was run down by a fast train on
the Chicago e. Great Western railway.
According to the engineer, the train
was running at the rate Of IS miles
an hour when he noticed a person on
the track. He loudly blew the whistle,
but no attention was paid to it, Mr..
Wicker being hard Of hearing. With
out doubt he never knew what killed
him, as the train vas going about 80
miles an hour when it struck him.
Death was instantaneous.
The accident was rather peculiar,
inasmuch as George Wicker, a broth
er of the victim, was killed in exactly
the same name only three years ago
in North Dakota.
The body was taken to Marathon,
Ia, for burial, accompanied by Mrs.
Truax Of Lyons, ILL.,, Miss Francis
Wicker Of Grand Forks, both daugh-
ters Of the deceased, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Anthony Arnold of Lake Park,
la. Fred B. Wicker Of Eveline Wash,
only son of the deceased, was unable
to attend the funeral. Services were
held in the Methodist Episcopal
church at Marathon, Rev. J.. d. VOL
colt officiating.
John Valentine Wicker was born
September 4, 1858, in 10 Davis coun-
ty, Illinois.

To Aid Other Boards.
The North Dakota boundary com-
mission will cooperate with similar
boards already appointed or to be Gre
Ated in Minnesota and South Dakota
in working out a system Of drainage
lions prevailing throughout the upper
reaches of the Red river and its trib-
utaries. and affecting not only many
hundred square miles of valuable
farming country but numerous viii
lagos and cities as we'll.
To correct this condition there has
been tentatively proposed the con-
struction Of a system Of reservoirs or
the sheyenne river, on Lake Traverse,
Big Stone lake and the Tongue river.
The cost Of this construction. togeth-
Or with the dredging and straighten-
ing Of Red river and tributaries will
range in the millions, but 1t is pre-
dicted that the system will more thar

able value to farmers who cannot
bear the expense OF, tileinE. and who
now could find no proper outlet were
they prepared to put in tile drains"
Cass county alone Is expanding
$2b0.00o on this drainage problem,
and every county lying in or adjacent
to the Red river valley is deeply in
terssted in the outcome Of the con-
certed effort which these three states
are to make. North Dakota's share
Of the preliminary expense has been
estimated by federal engineers at $10,-
900. Three thousand is appropriated
by the bill creating the boundary
commission. and 1t is thought the re-
mainder Of the funds necessary may
be obtained from other sources.

HE OBEYED THE LAW

The story is told of an east
ern Arkansas citizen who pro-
tested against the vaccination
order made by the State Board
of Health. He went to a law
yer and sought advice. "They
can't compel me to have my
children vaccinated can they?"
he asked.
"No indeed, they cannot, "
replied the lawyer. 'That's
Just what I told Them" declar-
ed the citizen, triumphantly.
But" resumed the lawyer
'they can prevent your child
rem from attending school and
they can fine you $40 a day
for veery day they do not at
tend.
When last heard from the
citizen had decided that after
all it was probably his patriot
ic duty to have his children
vaccinated.

II Is stated that the Argentine

within which the republic demands
Germany's reply. but this limitation
was omitted purely because OF un-
certainty OF communication with
Berlin For two weeks Argentine

the situation lies in the case OF the
