FARMER KILLED BY LIGHTNING

A flash of lightning struck and
killed John La ROGUE, a resident of
the Elm Point settlement of Fremont
township, in violent electrical storm
that passed over that section of Cav
alier county on Friday afternoon of
last week. At the time the storm
broke LaRocque was plowing in a field
nearby the home in which he lived
with his widowed mother. The rain
was falling to almost the extent of a
cloudburst and in order to find shelter
he crawled under wagon standing in
the field. The wagon proved an at
traction for the lightning. The bolt,
when it struck the wagon underneath
which LaRocque sought shelter, also
stunned the team of horses standin G
along side, but did not permanently
injure them in any way. Deceased
was about thirty.two years old and
and had lived in Elm Point settlement
since his birth.

Civil Engineer r. Arnold, of Great
Falls, Mont, who since coming to
Langdon little over two weeks ago
has been engaged in sinking num-
ber of test wells with a view to as
certaining the quantity and quality of
water obtainable at number of
points adjoining the city limits in
furtherance of the proposed plan for
furnishing Langdon with system of
waterworks and drainage. is expect.
ing to give the city council highly
satisfactory report of tests he is now
making at the next council meeting.
Engineer Arnold has already OBJ
tanned analysis from a number of the
deepest and best wells in Langdon,
among others, the we'll at the public
school building, the we'll lately put
down at MCLAUGHLIN & Stranger 8
garage and another we'll that C. ].
Bone has lately bored to consider.
able depth on his farm north Of town.
At present Mr.. Arnold has men ex.
cavating large we'll, its size at the
surface being fifteen feet and which
will be dug to depth of at least
thirty feet. This is located west of
the Great Northern railroad track on
the Dorval hill. Analysis of water
so far obtained from all these wells
is of excellent quality for drinking
purposes and the object now is to as.
certain at which of these locations the
city is most likely to find the guam
tity of water which the installing of
a waterworks system would necessi-
tate. Engineer Arnold is working
under the direction of the city author
tiles and something definite will be
knwon as to the chance of Langdon
going ahead with this greatly needed
public improvement at the next meet
ing of the city council.

hour Thursday morning at the family
home in this city followed an illness
of nearly years duration, was large
ly attended. He had for long years
past been a resident of Langdon and

sent at the church and which followed
the remains to their last resting place
in the cemetery was a deserved trib-
ute to the esteem in which Mr.. Ham.
ilton was held by those who had
learned to appreciate the full ex-
emplary character Of his every day
life. The widow and immediate fam
lily in their sad hour of affliction have
extended to them the sympathy OF

SETTLES TITLES TO RUSH LAKE

The government lands that have
been made available for cul tivation
by the draining of Rush Lake, which
has been gradually drying up of late
years, have been the occasion of much
litiagtion recently among adjoing
property holders. The claims of dif-
ferent parties to title have been taken
up time and again in district court
and finally passed on to the states
supreme court for adjudication. A
decision recently handed down directs
that the adjoining property holderds
had the right to the title of the land
to the lake center. State Engineer
Atkinson of Bismarck, some few
months ago surveyed the lake and
fixed the center for the upper half of
the lake by zig.zag line. From
this center lines were fixed marking
the portion allotted to each owner.
For the lower half of the lake point
indicating the center was fixed and
marked by an iron pipe and lines
were radiated from this to adjoining
properties. All partial 4O-acre plots,
broken by the old shore line, were
squared out and sold at q reasonable
price to aid in the re-suryey and dis
cription of the land. The agreement
is one in which all interested parties
showed Willingness to sign.up and
end long. drawn out controversy
which has reached happy ending for
all concerned.
