n. D. NAN FEARS FOR
RELATIVES IN SYRIA

Williston, N. D., Feb. 20.--Dap Hapip,
who is well known in Williston, came
from Grand Forks Saturday to attend
to business matters connected with his
farm on Cow creek. In a few days he
will go to Scobey, where he is interest
ed in mercantile business.
Mr., Hapip is, sorely distressed over
other relatives, who, when last heard
from, were in the vicinity of Damascus.
Syria. Mr.. Hapip has endeavored
through the United States department
and foreign missionary organizations to
get word to or from his people and to
forward them money. While he has
reason to believe that some of the
money sent through foreign missionary
channels was delivered to his relatives,
he has failed totally to receive the least
information as to their present where
abouts or condition. He has written to
date since the European war began
eighty-seven letters. In all of those
has avoided all reference to the war,
wording his messages as though there
were no war, hoping thus to avoid all
objection to their being delivered to the
parties to whom they were addressed.
Mr. Hapip tells, as an illustration OF
the fiendish delight that the Turkish
people take in tormenting the AmeTi-
ter received by a Syrian gentleman re-
siding in st. Paul. The letter had been
addressed to relative somewhere in
the Turkish war zone, and after long
time it came back to the writer with
the inscription on the back, You will
never see your cousin in this world, but
perhaps you will meet him in hell"
Mr.. Hapip says that the Turks are said
to have accomplished more horrible
atrocities than ever before.

BADLY BURNED

Hettinger, N. D., .eb. .2o.-Noah Hill
let, living near Haynes was badly
burned in an explosion. He was
starting his pumping engine. and find-
ing it too cold to start readily, he
poured gasoline on and around 1t with
the intention OF lighting 1t to heat the
engine. Unfortunately while pouring
the gasoline on the engine he turned
the fly wheel until the Ignition system
came in contact which caused an ex-
plosion which burned his hands and
face quite severely. He probably
would not have been burned so badly
had he been able to leave the building
Immediately after the explosion. but
the door knob on the inside OF the
building was missing thus causing
some little time to elapse before ne
was able to open the door. Mr.. Millet
Is improving nicely, however, and Will
soon be about his regular duties.

MISSED DEATH
BY A MIRACLE

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 20.--only q
miracle saved one Northern Pacific
railroad engineer from death. 4. He was
driving train No. 4 eastward at Myers,
Mont, Saturday. and just before pass
ing a sidetrack where q wrecking
crane was at work. something prompt-
ed him to leave his seat and get down
in the engine pit.
Crash. and the whole side Of the en-
CINE cab, where he had been few
seconds before, was whisked away.
A freight train, had been derailed
and the wrecker was clearing UP de-
bris. The main line track was cleared,
but as train No. came. along, the
derrick man of the .wrecker swung the
big steel crane.
\ It tore off the passenger trains ems

press car. and pounded holes through
the roofs of practically every other
car on the train. Not a single person
was injured. but the train was delayed

the shipment of liquor into the state.
Il am unqualifiedly in favor of a
bone dry" law. IL such a law is not
obtainabie, l am, Of course, in favor
of the nearest approach to it, but I
feel that if North Dakota believes in
the principle Of prohibition there is
now no excuse for failing to put it in
to force. Since the Webb-Kenyon act
has been upheld as constitutional,
each state is able to practically put in
force national prohibition within it's
own boundaries" says Mr.. LANCER.
Il have just received information
showing that during December, 1916,
and January, 1917, on four trunk lines
running into the state, 846,544 pack
ages Of liquor were shipped into North
Dakota. The packages varied gen.
orally from a quart to five gallons and
the LIQUOR was practically all spirits,
there being very little beer or wine,
comparatively speaking. These ship
ments took out of the state over ST.
OOO,O0O.00 and brought into the state
a vast amount of disease, misery and
crime. If this average is continued,
1T will mean $4,000, 10000 going out
of the state in single year for booze
and in addition it will mean tens OF
thousands of dollars spent by the diff
ferent counties of the state for law
enforcement that would be unneces-
sary were these shipments prohibited
One of the biggest and most expensive
activities of states attorneys at pres
ent consists of enforcing the liquor
laws. The prosecuting officials of
the state ought not to be compelled to
devote so much time, or the people to
spend so much money trying to cure
something we now have the power to
largely prevent. We have been talk
ing lot about keeping our money in
the state. 1t seems to me that a
bone dry" bill offers a splendid OPP
portunity to start putting this talk In
to rractfce"
