IF you could only zee the results
of the operation Of this League in

here in our business relations with
North Dakota farmers. you would
make your article even stronger than
you did.
Business men and farmers in
North Dakota are suffering today
because Of the difficulty they are
having to procure money from fin

State come down to be financed and
frankly admit they have never had

money and have to resort to extra
ordinary measures. which were. not
required before the Nom Partisan
League practically undermined the
Law Of Contracts in North Dakota.
A recent attempt has been ma3
to modify some Of the legislative
acts but great damage has been done
which only heroic measures can cor

4 Sad Calamity
Three Little Sons Oi VIM I. Gard
liner Caught In Prairie Fire and
One LOSeS his Lfe

A very distressing calamity
last Friday came upon the Will
lam T. Gardiner family, who live
about four miles north of town
on the farm once known as the
G. w. Martens farm. The
mother, an older son and
twelve year.old daughter were Ill
with the prevailing malady and
two of the younger boys, Louis
and Lawrence, aged respectively
eight nd nine years, were given
team and were helping in the
farm work, raking hay over near
a grove of trees on the west side
of the farm, when their six year
Cd brother. arriving from school
also went over to be with them.
While the three boys were there
a Ere in the prairie grass came
sweeping toward them, and the
horses ran away. The younger
boy climbed up a tree in the
grove thinking to escape the
flames, but the two older ones
pushed their way through the
blaze, and were shortly rescued
by MIR. John Wilcox, who thought
perhaps some help might be
needed and had gone from his
home near by, and finding the
two boys put them in his auto
and brought them to Dr.. Flett's
office, where their burns were
cared for. They were later TAX.
en- to the home of H. A. Riley
and Miss Martens, the nurse, is
caring for them.
Both boys are quite badly
burned about the face and limbs
but are getting along nicely, and
no fatal results are looked for.
Walter, the little five year old
brother who clim bed the tree to
escape the fire, must have been
quickly surrounded by the flames
as the wind was blowing strong.
ly, and the grass and brush was
dry as tinder for when number
of citizens, including Harry Paw
son, Jay Morrill,, Emil Mosiman,
Herbert Atkinson aud others
had gone out to the fire to rem
der any assistance they could,
they found the charred body of
the little fellow where had fallen
or descended from the tree, was
llfeless. VIM Roebel, neigh
boring farmer who had also gone
over to the scene brought the re-
mains into the Emanual under.
taking rooms, and on Sunday
afternoon they were laid away in
the Milbank cemetery.
The affair is one of the sad
dest things that has happened
in the community for a long time
and the stricken parent have the
sincere sympathy of all in the
calamity that has fallen upon
them. Just how the fire started
is not known. The boys dis
claim starting it, and it may
have been started by some pass
er.by throwing q cigaret or cigar
stub or burnig match on the
grass.

DIR. FERGUSON DECEASED
One Of mllbank's Well Known Physl
clans Gives his Life IN Service
Of bis Country.

Last week the Herald-Advance
published short item stating that
Mrs. w. j. Ferguson had been call
ed to the sick bed of her husband
at Quandaro, Kas. On Saturday
the 18th inst word was received Of
his death from pneumonia at $40
o'clock that morning.
William ]. Ferguson was born in
Minneapolis AZ years ago and re-
ceived his education in the city
schools and in the university Of
Minnesota, graduating from the
medical department of that insti.
tuition with the class Of 1896, and
practiced at Asbury hospital in that
city for more than q year. He
came to Milbank in 1900, and since
that time has been practicing
physician in this city until he en-
listed in the medical corps of the
U. S. army last March. He was
married June 19. 1901. to Miss
Matilda Reinhardt, Of Minneapolis.
At the very beginning of the war
Dr.. Fegruson took an active part
in the organization of the Grant
county chapter Of red cross and
was president Of the chapter until
his enlistment in the army. He
was also the examining physician
and member Of the draft board,
until called into the more active
service.
On receiving his commission in
the army he left for Ft. Riley, Kas. ].
but later was transferred to Quin-
daro, Kas and in addition to his
regular duties. owing to the many
cases Of influenza had been assist
ing in a camp at Kansas City, Mo-.
and it is surmised that these extra
duties and overwork had undoubt-
edly undermined his own physical
strength so that when he was at
taxed by the prevailing malady he
was unable to ward Of the fatal
consequences. The deceased is
survived by his father, Kenneth
Ferguson. Of Minneapolis. who is
we'll known as one Of the old time
engineers on the Milwaukee, also
his wife and son Kenneth, about
Is years Of age; also two sisters,
Mrs. Alice Overholt, and Mrs.
Frances Overholt, both of Mime
apolis.
The remains were taken from
the camp to Minneapolis for burial,
the funeral service being held last
Monday afternoon and the remains
inferred in the family lot in Lake.
wood cemetery.
DR.. Ferguson's eighteen years of
practice in this community, going
in and out of our homes as the FAM
lily physician, gave him a very wide
acquaintance, and his sudden TAX
ing off was great shock to all.
He was a member Of the Episcopal
church, and of the Masonic and
Knights Of Pythias orders. and for
q number Of years was q member
Of the board Of education Of the
city. With q fine voice and musi-
cal ability, his services rs a singer
we're constantly in demand for var
ious public and social gatherings
and these services were always
freely and kindly given at the in
Vulnerable calls upon him. There
are but few who do not feel indebt-
ed to the deceased man along these
lines, and in many Of the social
and civic gatherings he will be
greatly missed. The kindly SYM
pathy Of the old neighbors and
friends goes out to the wife and
son in their bereavement.
