BILE accident occurred at Ross,
Mountrail county, about six o'clock
Monday evening, when little Louise,
the five year old daughter of Mr..

position Of cashier, and out of cur
iosity picked up the automatic pis-

was a sweet little child and the sor-

Miss Sophia Nygaard of Rugby. N.
Dak., who was drowned in String
lake five miles east Of this place,
Sunday was recovered last night
about $3.50 o'clock near the middle
of the lake, and after search OF
hours had been made.
f The young woman who was twen-
ty years old. and who formerly liv-
ed at Barton, was in the lake bath
ing with q number of other people.
All went ashore except her and she
said she desired to remain in the
water longer. No attention was
paid to her failure to appear for a
reasonable time after her compan-
ions reached shore. as she was a
good swimmer and was not out in
deep water. When her absence
became disturbing q search revealed
that she had gone to her death. A
there was no one present at the
time it is impossible to tell how
the unfortunate accident happened.
% The parents of the dead girl live
at Watford City, N. D.. but for sew
eral years she has been engaged In
the home Of DR.. and Mrs. Collision
of Rugby as housekeeper. They
were with her at the lake at the

eral prominent people. The speak
er Of the day, Hon. Melvin Hildreth
OF Fargo, was only able to make a
short talk, most OF the time allowed
for speaking having been taken up
by speakers before him. The af-
ternoon was taken up in various
sports until Train No. los came in
from the east bringing the Warren
and Minot league baseball teams
This game resulted in a score of Z
to in favor Of Minot The even
ing was given to band concert,
dancing and moving pictures.
There were two places at which
dances were held. and these were
both filed to their capacity until
well into the night. The Seimers
band Of this city furnished the
music during the entire day. TAX
en- all the way through the event
was a big success, and the various
committees in charge are entitled
to much credit for the way things
were planned and carried out. The
number Of people present was much
larger than what was expected, and
preparations had not been made to
accommodate so many. The ball
game between league teams was
the main attraction. and this is what
brought people from as far as a
hundred miles away.

Early Morning Blaze Des.
hoys An Old Land Mark

The members of the fire depart
ment did good work, but had con-
siderable trouble getting things
started on account of defective
hose. However, it was only a short
time before two streams of water
were playing on the fire, and the
flames were put out. Many of the
firemen were at Flaxton at the
time.
The loss in both the Patterson
and Turbett place is total, and in
both cases everything possessed by
these people was destroyed. Mrs.
Patterson had quite large stock
of millinery goods in the front nf
the building, and her household
goods as we'll as an expensive piano
were in the rear end. Nothing was
saved. This loss is partly covered
by insurance. The Turbett boys
lost all their clothes and other per-
sonal effects, except what they had
with them when they went to Flax
ton, and carried no insurance.
Earl Turbett had Just returned a
few days before from Flaxton
where he had been working, and
brought all his painting and decor
ating tools with him. These also
went up in smoke. The county
superintendent's Office was the last
place to be reached by the flames,
and owing to the fact that a stream
Of water was kept playing on that
part Of the building, some of the
record books were not 30 badly
burned but that they can BE- recop-
led. The furniture and all the sta
tionery was destroyed. The lcss In
this instance will be suffered by
Burke county, though Superintend-
ent Wort had some personal effects
In his Office, including a new type
writer. The building was the pro-
perty Of the First State Bank OF
this city, and it was insured for
about rs per cent Of its value.

SOMEBODY ENTITLED
TO ANOTHER GUESS

During the spring several cases Of
typhoid fever were developed in
this city among people who had
been using water for drinking pur-
poses that had come from the spring
east of town, and for that reason
DR.. Limburg took a sample of the
water at random, and sent it in to
the state university to be analyzed.
Yesterday he received the following
letter from the University which
shows that the water is in excellent
condition for drinking purposes,
and safe to drink, and that the
typhoid cases must have been start
ed from some other cause: 1--WE
have the following report to make
upon sample of water submitted to
this laboratory for examination on
June 8, 1917: Bacteria per G. c..
on agar at 375 G. /. Gas forma-
ton in lactose broth using S ten c.
c. paintings, 5. From the above
analysis it will be seen that the
bacterial count is low and that in
testinal organisms of the colon type
are absent in SO c. c. amounts.
This water is in excellent condition
from archaeological standpoint and
safe for drinking purposes.

TORMENTED TRAMP
HURLS 4 WRENCH

Mandan, N. D., June 21.-When
q tramp plumber after having been
mercilessly pelted with mud balls
at the new high school building
threw a heavy wrench at his juven-
lie tormentors, the missile struck
little Millie Hedtke, 12-year-old
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. R.
Hedtke. rendering the girl uncon-
sciOus.
The blow fell just above the girls
eye, completely closing that optic
and causing slight concussion of
the BRAIN.
Physicians say that had the
wrench struck an inch higher it un-
doubtedly would have caused death.
Rev. Mr.. Hedtke, after investigat-
ing the circumstances, advises that
he will have no effort made to To-
cate the plumber, who was discov-
cred to have left Mandan on an at
ternOOn train.

WHAT A FLOUR MILL ..~->.,
MEANS TO THE FARMER

Dawson Press: There are any
number of farmers, who, in the
course OF q year. can save enough,
through the use of local cooper
ative mill in having their wheat
ground into -four, to pay for a
share In the mill that will be or
eanized here.
A perusal of the following figures
will easily convince anyone, if they
will take the time to study them.
- Take the farmer using 1900
pounds of -four in year; to make
this quantity of -four he would only
have to bMng in As bushels of 81
to 60 pound test wheat. At the
present prices his expenses and saw
ings would show up thus:
Is bu. at $2.28 per bushel .$112.60
, Grinding at zoe per bu. -. 800
Total -. .... ...... .$l21.6o
caive:
1900 lbs. -four at SIT per

324 TBS. bran at $40 per ton 6.4S
4a6 lbs. shorts at SAG per
ton ........ l1.As
Total %. -. ..... 1888 IS
which amount, wheat and grinding
costs subtracted, would leave him a
saving of $42.O6. This is the
amount that he would lose il he
we're to market his wheat through
the regular channe1s and buy the
same back again. -
The above prices are based on
the prices of wheat a week ago.
The same saving would be made In
proportion, however, If the price of
wheat was not as high.
These are not theoretical figures,
but are actual facts. borne out ny
actual application.
= In view of these facts, We fail to
bee why every farmer should not
take at least one share in the mill.

0LD SETTLERS PIC.
MIC WELL ATTENDED

Practically all the people in Bow
bells who could get away went to
Flaxton last Saturday to attend the
annual picnic Of the old settlers Of
Burke county. Most Of the people
living near this city also took in
the big event. The number Of
people present was the largest that
ever gathered at Flaxton. The
reason for this was probably the
fact that the weather, OUTSIDE Of be-
ing very warm, was just right in
every way. Rain always fell on
the days the picnic was held during
former years. In fact the crowd
was much too large to be properly
entertained and fed with prepara-
tions that had been made. 1t is
estimated that between 1000 and
5000 people were present, many
coming from as far as Ambrose and
Crosby, and others from Mohall and
Sherwood. The program for the
day started with a pig parade, and
this wound up at the pavilion
where speeches were made by sew

The Commercial Club building in
this city together with all it's con-
tents was destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning about $3.50 o'clock.
This building was occupied by Mrs.
w. C. Patterson's millinery store,
the county superintendent office,
the Turbett brothers roomed there,
and the Patterson family lived in
the rear end of the place. Practi-
cally everyone in the city was at
the old settlers picnic at Flaxton at
the time, and the fire was first seen
by Andy Finke of east or town, who
was returning from Flaxton with
his car. Flames were then snoot-
ing through the roof. Mr.. Finke
rang the fire bell, and this soon
brought a crowd out, but the fire
burned fast, and only a few things
were saved out of the county super
intendent's office. The building is
a total loss, as is also everything
that it contained.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but from the way things looked at
the time when the flames were first
seen it started burning in the rear
end in the vicinity of the Patterson
kitchen. The only people in the
building at the time were Mr.. and
Mrs. Patterson, who were asleep.
Mr.. Patterson states that he awoke
during the night and heard some
one walking in the hallway, and
thinking it was the Turbett boys
coming back from Flaxton, he went
to sleep again. The next time he
aw0ke the room was filed with
smoke and he heard. the flames
cracking. Both he and Mrs. Pat
terson lost no time in getting out of
the building without stopping to
dress themselves. Mr. Patterson
grabbed his clothes. which were on
q chair, and did not even stop to
take his shoes, and went out ac-
companied by Mrs. Patterson. who
went to the Stromberg residence
across the alley. S .s5ss;5.

light plants in various cities in this
state, among which are Kenmare,

E. Swanson, the local manager re-
turned Monday from st. Paul where
he met the officers of the corpora
tion and completed the deal. The
new firm takes charge of the busi-
ness on July l, though an engineer
will be sent here Immediately to
get a line on things. The engines
and dynamos of the local plant will
be used by the new owners for a
few months, or until such time. as
a pole line can be constructed be-
tween this city and the Kenmare
plant, when the building and ma
chinery of the local plant will be
disposed of, and the current will be
supplied from the Kenmare plant,
giving us "a hour -ervice, and one
that can be depended upon at all
times.
The news of the local plant
changing hands will be greatly well
coined by all residents Of the city
who are using current in their
homes or places Of business. In
spite of everything the manager Of
the plant could do there had been
times when the service had not
been satisfactory, and the ract that
tho n1ant was rim 0nlV during the
nights, and sometimes only until

when a "a hour service will be CIV
en-. 1t is believed that in time all
the gasolene engines in the city will
be displaced with electric motors,
which are more economical to use
for power, and are more depend
able.
The officers of the new company
are already making arrangements
for the building of the pole line be-
tween Bowbells and the Kenmare
plant, though it will probably be
several months before the work is
completed. 1t is being planned on
running the line along the railroad
track, and supply several farmers
on the line with current. Some
kind of an agreement will also be
made with those farmers residing
some distance from the main line
whereby branch line may be con-
structed to their buildings. The
company also intends building lines
to some of the neighboring cities
here. and also supply the farmers
enroute with current. After all
ned is completed; Bowbells will
have as good Q service as any city
in the state.
The new owners will not use
building in this city, and will look
after the collections from Kenmare.
The main line will be run to the
outskirts of the city~and will there
be connected with a transformer
which will reduce the voltage from
several thousand volts down to
either 10 or 220, according to re-
quirements
