Granville Farmer
Killed By a Bull

Granville, N. D., Aug. 9.-E. c.
Covell, prominent farmer living
five miles northeast of this place,
was fatally injured bv bull Sun
day afternoon and died shortly af-
ter the accident. The animal was
running in the field and while look
ing over the stock he attacked Mr..
Covell, who sought to escape over a
wire fence. The fence was woven
and he could not get through the
.meshes and was caught by the en-
ragged animal and pinned against a
post, suffering internal injuries
which resulted in his death short
time afterward. ....--.
The bull was owned by Mr.. CQvell
and another farme<. The animal
had not been considered vicious in
the two wears he had been on the
farm but he had always been kept
tied until a short time ago, when he
was turned into the pasture. The
children had been in the habit OF
leading the animal to water even SO
late, as last spring. No signs OF
viciousness had ever. been seen nm
til the attack which ended In the
death Of the owner Sunday.

|NJUNCI|0NAL SUIT
AGAINST FARMERS

Minot, N. D., Aug. 9.-An injunc-
tional action has been instituted in
the district court of Ward county.
by Mrs. Nellie Norrie against o. o.
Adams, Jesse Mott and others, seek
ing to restrain them from draining
the lower Des Lacs lake.
The matter in litigation is inter-
esting as one of the big problems
of progress against keeping condi-
tions in the primitive form. The
defendants in this action as we'll as
number Of other riparian owners
of land along the borders of the
lake conceived the scheme of lower
my the outlet channel Of the lake
so that the lake would be practically
drained and converted into a vast
hay meadow. The area which it
is believed rould be drained suffi-
GENTLY to permit hay to grow in
abundance is between 1000 and
1900 acres. The people interest
ed in creating this meadow land
proposed to stand all. the expenses
themselves. and to take only the
accretions which would come with
in their extended boundaries.
The injunctional suit was brot
on the grounds thst the ~body of
water is a meandered lake and can
not be destroyed by private parties.
It is contended that it is a great
resort for wild ducks and other
water fowl which frequent this lat
itude and that myrards of ducks are
Matching in the reeoy marshes along
the margins of the lake. It is con-
tended that the draining of the lake
and its conversion into hay land
would destroy the value Of the Same
as a game resort. s
The fact that the lake Is mean,
dered, which is sa.d to be beyond
question. leaves the parties who de-
sired to drain the same without re-.
course. 4

FATAL SWIMMING
ACCIDENT OCCURS

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 9.-Chris
Kundert aged "a, machinist in the
employ of the Lahr Motor Sales
Co., this city. came to his death last
Sunday afternoon in the waters OF
Apple creek, about four miles east
of Bismarck.
The unfortunate young man, who
with a number Of companions, was
spending the afternoon at the creek,
was just learning to swim. He was
progressing nicely in his efforts and
had succeeded in crossing narrow
channel several times, when the
attention of a party of young men
who were diving from the Northern
Pacific railway bridge, near the
point where Kundert was In swim
ming, was attracted by the cries Of
some boys that a man was drown
ing. Ernest Happel, an employe of
the Bismarck Bank, who was a
member of the party, glanced down
and saw Kundert sinking below the
waters of the creek. He dived
straight for the body as it disap-
peared, and an instant later came
tn the surface with Kundert in his
grasp. The water at this point is
very deep; Kundert was inert, and
it was only after a desperate strug-
BILE that Happel, shouting for as
sistance, managed to reach the
shelving bottom, Kundert, towed by
strong current, shipped from Hap
pel's weakening hold and again
disappeared.
Other swimmers who were at the
spot seemed numbed by the acci-
dent and unable to come to Happeps
aid The latter, almost exhausted,
lay on the shore several minutes
before he could recover sufficiently
to resume his efforts to rescue the
drowning man. It was not until
Kundert had been under water fully
10 minutes that f1appel again brot
him to the surface.
Every effort was made to restore
respiration, both before Kundert
was placed in the car and while en-
route to Bismarck, md Happel, who
was directing the Efforts OF his COM
panions, is confident that kundert's
heart did not stop beating until the
party was half way to Bismarck.
when the dying mans body became
rigid, and his teeth clenched.
Kundert was known as one OF the
capital city's most efficient machin-
lists and automobile operators. For
the last three years he had been In
the employ of the Lahr Motor Sales
Co. as machinist and service man,
and was one of the best in the busi-
ness. He was a splendid man In
every way, and his death Is a real
loss to the community.

LONE TRUE Bill |. IS
>.. FOUND BY JURY

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 9.-1ndict-
ment of a single brewing company
by the federal grand jury just ad-
journed, as the outgrowth of the
investigation of affairs at Minot,
was announced today.
That the Minot situation will be
placed before another grand jury,
however, was announced by United
States District Attorney M. A. Hill
!, ,dreth.
Indictment found against the
brewing company named in the bill,
charges the Slipping of liquor in
Interstate commerce without proper
labelling. A fine, not exceeding
$1,000 is the punishment provided
for corporation guilty Of such Of
fense.
When the federal grand jury was
called to Fargo about three and a
half weeks ago, the Minot cases
loomed up as of prime Importance.
The announcement that only one
indictment was returned, comes as
a surprise to those. who followed
about SO witnesses had been called
to Fargo. Only a few of those sub
poenaed were brought before the
grand jury.
1--WE will place the Minot situa-
tion before the next federal grand
jury" said Attorney Hildreth to-
day, In the meantime, federal and
state authorities, working together
on the case, expect to place their
evidences in shape for presentation.
Charges OF conspiracy. to violate
the interstate commerce regulations
affecting the shipment of liquor, it
Is understood. will be pressed by
the district attorney when the mat
ter is received for the considera-
tion of another grand jury. The
grand jury work grows out of the
state raid of last, June.

COURT HOLDS FAR.
MER RESPONSIBLE

Steele, NJ D., Aug. 9.-Adelia
Hodan, widow of Robert Hogan,
who lost his life in prairie fire
alleged to have been started on the
Bragg farm, was given verdict, OF
$1,50O damages from John Bragg,
wealthy Kidder county farmer, by a
jury in district courx. Allen Thomp-
son lost his life in the same fire
and Hugh Armstrong was seriously
burned.
The supreme court has just held
that North Dakota's law holding
the party guilty of starting a prairie
fire responsible for any damage
which may result cannot be made
applicable to the owner of a farm
whose tenant is the guilty party.
In the Bragg case, however, the evil
dence seemed to establish Bragg's
direct responsibility.

Average Rainfall
Smallest. in Years

That the total rainfall for the
first seven months or 1917 is 3.87
inches less than the average for the
four preceding years, or loss of
81 1-3 per cent from the average,
is the information gathered from an
examination Of the records kept in
the local weather Office.
The average for the seven months
named is 1896 inches. This years
total is $40 inches, showing loss
of 3.87 inches.

1917 with the average for the same
months during the past four years
we find the total loss to be 4.80
inches or 81 per cent.
In detail the figures are: Aver
age for month of May 1913 inches,
total May, 1917, none; loss 1873.

Young Man al
Portal DroMl)ed in Greek

Portal International: Theodore
D. Fischer was drowned while in
bathing at Short Creek on Friday
evening, July 81.
Mr.. Fischer, in company with Leo
Baldwin, c. B. Briggs, ALI Reite
and Carl Brekke left Portal about
1880 Friday evening to enjoy a
swim, after the intense heat Of the
day, at the swimming hole in George
Ross pasture, which is about eleven
miles west of this city. Shortly af-
ter the boys went into the water
Mr.. Fischer said to Leo Baldwin, Il
am going, I am going" and started
to go backwards, pushing himself
further into the stream b. striking
the water with his arms. Mr.. Bald
win plunged in after his friend, but
he soon started to strangle when he
reached the deep water, as he Is un>
able to swim. C. B. Briggs and
ALT Reite Immediately went to the
rescue. Mr.. Briggs caught the
young man by the hair Of the head
intending to pull him to the bank
Of the creek, but the latter grabbed
Mr.. Briggs about the body and both
men went down together. When
they came to the surface Mr.. Briggs
fortunately grabbed limb of a
tree and with the assistance of Mr..
Reate rescued Mr.. Baldwin. MIR.
Briggs and Mr.. Reite as soon as
possible after taking Mr. Baldwin
out of the water plunged in after
Mr.. Fischer, at the same time yell
ing Tor help. Several Columbus
men heard their cr1es and rushed
to the scene. One of them dove
and came up with the body.
The men got busy at once reviv-
ing the two boys. Mr.. Baldwin
was soon brought around but Mr..
Fischer could not be revived despite
the strenuous efforts of the men
present. DR.. King of Columbus
was Immediately notified and also
DR.. Somers of Porsal. The former
arrived in twenty minutes but the
latter could not at the time be To-
Gated. DR.. King useu every means
at his command to restore the young
man to life, but he was beyond any
earthly help. 4 - .:.s.as; ,,., !. 49,,
Theodore D. Fischer was born on
farm near Olivia, Minnesota, June
8, 1891, being 26 years; month
and 1S days old at the time of his
death.
He spent his boyhood days on
the farm, attended the public
schools and graduated from a Min
neapolis business college where he
received a thorough business educa~
ton. He met Leo Baldwin who
was attending the same business
college and a warm friendship had
it's beginning. Mr.. Fischer arrived
in Portal the fore part of January,
1913, having accepted position as
stenographer at the G. P. R. depot,
North Portal. He held this posi-
ton from January +, 1913, until
September 13, 1913, when he re-
signed to accept the position of
bookkeeper and stenographer at the
Portal State Bank, September Is,

1913, which position he held until
his untimely death last Friday even
ing. His friend Mr.. Baldwin pre-
ceeded him to Portal by several
months, coming here in September,
1912, and accepting the position of
bookkeeper and stenog1 apher at the
First international Bank. The
two young men were chums in the
highast sense Of the word. When
the days work was over they were
inseparable. Since coming here
they have roomed together and ate
at the same table at the Union Ho-
tel until Mr.. Fischer was called by
death J. the Good Book We read
Of David and Jonathan. The good
old bible characters could not have
beensS truer or better friends. They
sharAA in each others pleasures
and tsorrows; either one of these
estimable young men would have
gladly given his life for his friend.
It Isl seldom that one sees such sim
cere Friendship between two young
mens.
!I%sBud" Fischer, as he was famil-
AaA AAJsanAOWu " uAS uAdAy AAACANo,
was51ne of the most talented young
business men in the city. He sure.
ly w1uld have made his mark in the
world should he have been spared
to five the usual span of life. Bud
was always good natured, obliging,
accommodating, and never too busy
to recognize friend. His asso-
ciates in business %1ll miss him +;
his friends in social circles will re-
call smany kindnesses extended to
them and everyone who knew Mr..
Fischer can never recall time when
he was anything but a gentleman.
Words are too weak to express the
sorrow that is felt by everybody
who was fortunate enough to know
Bud" Fischer. That good, old
father and mother pack home will
bow their heads in the greatest sor-
how, perhaps, of their lives when
the body is brought home by1 his
best and dearest frlend-Leo Bald
Win-and his employer-T. A. Mel
son. Many tear will be shed by
the actors who will have part in
this,s;td scene. The untimely death
Of this splendid young man will cali
to mind that life at most is but a
few short years and may be snuffed
out without a moments warning;
the departing one goes to that Bet
ter Land from whence no man re-
turns. Mr.. Fischer started from
Portal with his friends in the best
of spirits, in a few hours he was
brought home, cold in death.
The people Of this city we're nev-
er more thoroughly shocked and
sor1o ow stricken than when word
came that "Bud'' Fischer was
drowned. Strong men were seen
to shed tears of sorrow and every
body spoke in whispers.
The body of the young man was
taken to the home of his parents at
Danube, Renville county, Minneso-
ia, by Leo Baldwin and T. A. Mel
son, Saturday evening, where the
deceased will be laid to rest.
