out Of joint. She had played this
same scene every night before while
the company had been on the road but
on this night it happened that there
were roller casters under the table,
which caused it to slide. The frac-
tured bones were set and at present
she is at Wolford under the care of
doctors and she is reported as getting
along nicely. A substitute for her
part in the play was secured and the
company is now playing at towns in

formerly Fargo girl, is dead as the
result of an automobile accident, in
which three others, including a sister,
| Miss Hazel Cosgrove, were injured,
according to reports reaching Fargo.

pinning the occupants underneath.
| Unconscious, Miss Cosgrove was car
ried to her home, where she died the
following afternoon without regain

her companion, was badly injured and

The Rugby Tribune says: Con-
ductor George Else, the we'll known old
time railroader, had an experience
last Saturday afternoon that he does
not care to repeat, by any means. he
arrived home from Grand FORKS on
No. 20, where he had been taking, IN
the big Shrine meeting and relieving
the man who had been taking his
place on the Rugby-Antler f1ier,
started gaily off on his run. At some
station up the line bunch Of girls
were getting on just as the train
started, so Mr.. Else thought he would
wait until the rear of the train came
along and catch on, which he did, only
to find the vestibule closed. AS the
train was well under way and think
ing that his predicament would soon
be discovered, he hung on, and contln-
ued to hang on for about six miles
George says that the way that old en-.
CINE s'hit Ter up" wasn't slow, part OF
The time running at about fifty per
hour, which also gave him added IN
centive for hanging on. His arms be-
came 50 paralyzed that he could not
move them, the hot cinders were pour
| ing down his neck, and all the crimes
and misdeeds of his past life were fit
ting through his dazed mind as the
train sped merrily on its way. Final
w, lust as he was about ready to give
up and cast himself to "the four winds
Of heaven" some of the train crew
noticed his absence and began to look
for him. The brakeman discovered
him and pulled him in just in the nick
of time. 1t may look funny at this
time-but you can take it from
George-it wasn't funny then.

BeUare of Spies.

WASHINGTON, No. l6.-Re-
newed warnings against spies
have been displayed at all navy
yards and stations. Placards
headed, Beware of Spies" have
been posted, reading as follows:
Don't talk about what you
have done or are going to do.
The enemy has ears everywhere.
Don't discuss naval affairs or
the movement of ships, their
cargoes or courses, with strang-
ers or foreigners.
Don't trust any one you do
not know. Enemy spies at home
and abroad will try TO draw you
into arguments and entrap you
into telling them about the move
ment OF ships, their cargoes, the
courses steered, and the steps
taken to defend our ships.
Don't forget to report at once
any person who tries to get in
formation from you or anyone
else in your hearing.
Don't forget that your want
of care may help the enemy and
lead TO the loss OF American
ships and the death of their
crews.
Secrecy means safety"
