CROSBY man KILLED.
BY LIGHTNING

ft. Crosby Journal: Louis Thomp-
son, q farmer living about three
miles north of town was killed
Tuesday evening during the severe
electrical storm that passed over
this place. The bolt apparently
entered the chimney, tore thru the
side Of it and went into the floor.
Thompson who was in an adjoining
room, was killed by the shock it is
believed. No indications were
found on his body that he had been
hit. His son who was in another
room was badly shocked, and his
left leg and foot were affected. He
was sitting on the edge OF his bed
taking off his shoe when the bolt
struck. He was thrown violently
backward on the bed. When he
regained consciousness, he called
to his father and asked him 1t he
was hurt. The father replied that
he was. He then managed to
crawl out of his room and he again
called to his father and asked him
If he could get out, but this time he
received no reply.
+ When the news reached the city
a number of people went out there.
They found Thompson lying on his
left side in manner that leads
them to believe that he had at
tempted to- get up, or had at least
moved after his shock. s.a
% Thompson and his son have been
living on the farm alone for the
past few years. Mrs. Thompson
died few years ago at the state
tuberculosis sanitarium at Dun
seth. 1851 S$

SWEEPS
BURKE COUNTY

There is hardly a place in Burke
county but what was damaged to
some extent by the tornado which
started last Sunday night at about
eleven O'Clock and lasted for about
an hour. 1t took in practically the
whole Of Burke county, and while
it was worse in some places than in
others, it seemed to have hit the
Powers Lake and Battleview coun-
try hardest Very few windmills
were left standing, and granaries,
machine sheds, barns and all out
buildings were leveled. People
who came from the south end of
the county tell US that nine barns
out of every ten in the Powers Lake
and Battleview country were level
ed, and a number of houses also
went. ..i
It would be next to impossible to
list all the damage done here by
this storm. It is safe to say that
not single farmer in the county
got away without suffering any
loss, and that the loss at various
places runs all the way from $50
for small shed to many hundreds
of dollars for larger buildings.
There are very few, If any, wind
mills left standing anywhere, and
very few buildings Of the smaller
size
AS far as we can learn no one
was injured in the immediate vi
cinity Of Bowbells, but learn that
quite a number of people were in
jured in the southwestern portion
of the county where a large num-
ber of houses were destroyed. At
McGregor, we are told, practically
everyone received some injuries,
though no fatalities have been re-
ported. z. A.. .
The damages in Burke county
caused by this storm will run into
many thousands of dollars. Many
structures which had been put up
only few years ago were Destroy
ed entirely, and are good for abso-
lutely nothing except ktndhng
wood. In most cases the owners OF
the buildings are fixed financially in
such a way that they will not be
able to rebuild the structures this
year, and will be compelled to get
along the best way they can until
a big crop is raised here. In some
cases the buildings were insured
against loss by tornado, but in most.
cases the farmers will have to stand
the loss themselves. = g.
This Is the worst tornado that
ever struck this great Bowbells
country, and covered a larger ter
ritory than any other that ever hit
Burke county.

LADY KILLED ! {: !. IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

Minot, North Dakota. July 8
A horrible accident occurred IN
the coulee a half mile west of Des
Laos, N. D., about midnight last
Thursday night, resulting in the
death of Mrs. Clarence Snyder, wife
Of a prominent farmer residing IL
miles south of Berthold, death oc-
curing the following afternoon at
one o'clck.
The Snyder family had come to
Minot that day to attend the state
Grange convention and the Townley
meeting and had started home in
the evening in their large six-cylin-
der Empire touring car. One Of
the Snyder boys was driving and
the engine stopped as the car was
going up the steep hill, just after
crossing the coulee bridge. The
brakes failed to work and the car
darted% backwards down the. hill.
The driver attempted to keep the
car in the road but it left the grade
just before reaching the bridge, 60
ing down over a. 20-foot embank-
ment, turning turtle and pinning
all members of the family under
the heavy car. Mr.. Snyder and
son Jacob managed to extricate
themselves from under the. car and
tried to lift the heavy machine off
the others, but failed. E G. Holli-
day, w. w.. Wixer, J. l.. Van Blus-
kirk and Levi Leifson, who were
following close behind in cars, ar
rived at the scene of the accident
about four minutes later and seeing
the bright lights of the car in the
coulee, Investigated. These cars
were JAIL loaded with neighbors of
the Snyder family and Mrs. Snyder
and the two little girls were pulled
out from beneath the wreckage.
Mr.. Van Buskirk took Mrs. Snyder
in his car to the home of DR.. Hal
vorsOn in Des Lacs, where she was
given all the attention possible,
but she was so seriously crushed
that death followed the next day.
Mrs. Snyder was 49 years of age
and she is survived by her husband
and nine children, four boys and
five girls. One of the daughters
is the wife Of Henry Brocher who
lives near Berthold. Jacob, a son,
had just returned from Camp Dodge
Jacob received some bruises and d
sprained ankle, but will recover,
Mrs. Snyder was an active mem
Der of Prairie Grange No. 43 and
was, the very best of neighbors.
Both Mrs. Snyder and her husband
had worked hard to rear and edu-
cate their fine family and her death
is q source Of great regret to all.

TWO ] BOYS B | DROWN ||:| }
IN COAL mine

Beach, N. D., July 8. Sunday af-
ternoon Clarence and Joseph Strom,
aged 9 and 13 years, sons Of C. j.
Strom, q farmer living near Thelan,
were drowned in an open coal mine
near their home, and 15-year-old
sister nearly died of heart failure
while running to a neighbors home

The younger u boy took of his

water when he dropped into hole
20 feet deep. Seeing the danger
the older brother jumped in with
his clothes on to help him, but
neither being able 60 swim, both
drowned. Another boy. named

pended on state roads.
To date 70,572 licenses have been
issued as against total of 71,671
last year. Mr.. Luehrs estimates
that there are 10000 cars yet to be
licensed in the state. The average
license fee, in spite Of the new bas-
is of registration is running $1.10
higher than last year. This Is ac-
counted for, states Mr. Luehrs, by
the fact that rs per cent of the cars
registered are Fords, and of these
about 60 per cent are old cars which
take advantage of the minimum fee
of IS. Under the old act Fords
paid a fee of 81 for each of the first
three years of their operation. I'm
der the present law the fee de-
creases each year after the first,
when the rate on a new Ford is
$7.65, until the permanent mini
mum of SIS is reached. Eighty per
cent Of the new cars registered in
North Dakota this year are Fords,
says Mr.. Luehrs.

WEAR.u.WELL AGENCY
ESTABLISHED HERE

The people OF Bowbells and VI
cinity will be more than glad to
learn that a Wear-U-Well agency
has been established here, and that
footwear of this popular brand may
be purchased right here in the city.
John Schmidt, our popular shoe
maker, made arrangements to ham
die this line several weeks ago, and
the fore part of this week was ship
ped his first stock Of shoes. His
initial shipment, while quite large.
does not near represent the entire
line which he will carry as soon a.
he gets nicely started. His stock
will include everything from the
cheapest to the best grades In all
cOlors and lasts, and the most ex-
acting people will be able to find
what they want In his stock. II he
happens to be temporarily out OF
any size he will gladly order 1t for
you, and delivery will be made in
only a few days. The Wear-U-Well
factory agencies have proven great
money savers in other cities where
they have been established, and
there is no reason why the agency
here should not save our people
money. Mr. Schmidt is proud of
his stock of shoes, and gladly shows
it to all people who will take the
trouble to drop into his place and
see what he has. There may be
other shoes just as good, says Mr..
Schmidt, but he defies anyone to.
show him. shoes selling for the
same money that are Just as good.
We predict very good trade for
Mr.. Schmidt as soon as our people
become acquainted with his line.
