Mules KICK CAUSES
LOSS OF LEFT LEG

Luther Isbell, "a prominent
young farmer of the Baldwin Sec
tion, had his left leg amputated
above the knee at the Gibson
hospital Wednesday night as a
result of a serious fracture of the
limb sustained when he was kick
ed by a mule at his home about
noon. Mr.. Isbell had just taken
out the team which he had been
working all morning, to feed
them, when one, of the animals
began kicking at him>in the stall
after he had given it some corn.
A terrific blow stuck him above
the knee cap of his left limb, caus-
ing him to fall to the ground, hut
he rolled away from, the mule and
out of further danger.
One of his little children found
him soon afterward, lying on his
face, half unconscious from the
fearful pain. The, injured man
was brought to town as quickly
as possible. Every effort was
made to save the injured leg, but
it was found that the bone had
been so fearfully shattered by the
mules iron-clad hoof that moth
ing could be done for it, and as a
last resort it was found necessary
to amputate the limb just above
the knee. Mr.. Isbell, stood the
operation well. it is said this
morning, and unless complica-
tions develop, will recover nicely
it is believed.
Mr.. Isbell is. 80 years of age
and has wife and two small
children. He is a brpther of iAmby
Isbell, of the Newby section, and
of Mrs. Wilbert Howard, of Cot
tonburg. He has many warm
friends who deeply sy1npathize
with him in his trouble.

HUNS BARRED FROM
LEAGUE FOR PRESENT
(By Associated Press)

Austria's attitude toward the
allied peace terms have not Of
ficially been made known to the
allies. Vienna advices, however,
indicate official dissatisfaction
and the chorus of newspaper dis
appreciation that apparently the
people were lethargic.
Completion of the treaty, sew
eral clauses of which are missing
is not likely this week.
Meanwhile notifications of the
terms of peace with Germany
seem approaching a definite form
Alterations, it is said, are-pdanne6
not to make the terms lieAter fol
Germany but to render their ex-
action easier. Apparently there
is a disposition on the part oi
Lloyd George and Clemenceau to
fix the German indemnity at 2:
billions dollars, with the first in
stallment of five billion to be paie
within four years, instead of two
years, as now stipulated.
The terms relative to Silesis
and the Sarre region also may b
altered.
There seems a general agree.
ment that Germany will not bs
allowed to enter the League ol
Nations at present.

CUTTING KANSAS
BIG WHEAT CROP
(By Associated Press)

Topeka, Kan. June 5e1arveSt-
ing of the big Kansas wheat crop
estimated at 218, 10000 bushels,
is expected to start today and to-
morrow in southeastern counties
and reach the great wheat belt of
the southcentra1 counties by June
20. J.C. Mohler, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, esti-
mated that the crop will be far
greater than that ever produced
by any other state in the union.
Federal department of agricul-
ture estimates indicate that Kan
Isas will harvest nearly one-fourth
of the total winter wheat crop of
the nation. Nearly 100000
acres were planted and the condi-
ton last given by the state board
of agriculture was 98 per cent
the best condition and the largest
acreage ever recorded. Based on
the governments fixed price.
Kansas wheat growers bid fair to
realize nearly half billion dol
lars.
Statisticians say the average
man consumes a barrel of -four a
year, and that the Kansas wheat
crop will make enough -four te
feed half the United States for a
year. Millersl estimate it takes
four and a half bushels of wheat
to make barrel of flour (1ot
lpounds).
Converted. into bread ON the ba.
isis Of sixty 1oaves to each bushe
Tof wheat, the estimated Kansas
crop would make 13,115,O0(
loaves. At ten cents loaf, the
consumer would pay from two
and half to three times for the
wheat in the loaf that the farmer
receives for the original grain
tstatisticians point out.

crop, on the governments basi.

FLAW IS FOUND
IN BONDING ACT

Bismarck. N. D., March 31.-The
>etate bonding act has produced sit.
'uation which is puzzling some of the
counties. County Auditor Schlecher,
of Sheridan county, in from McClus-
ky yesterday, reported that the bond
of their new county treasurer Brad
ley Wageman, has been fixed at $780,
900. Under the state bonding act not
more than $4,000 of this can be car
ried by the state. Several old line
bonding companies have been asked
to assume the $4,000 balance, and
each has refused.
Sheridan county's sinking fund,
checking fund and other deposits av.
erage about 100000, and as a result
of the attitude of the stock bonding
companies, the county has protection
for but half of this amount.

Tower City, N. D., March 29.-"It is
time to make the Nonpartisan league

a meeting held here Thursday.
Mr.. Kositzky was greeted by an
audience about two-thirds Of the mem
bers of which were members of the
Nonpartisan LEAGUE, who came to hear
the officials story Of affairs at Bis
marck, and to hear his explanation of
the taxation scheme which was
brought into being through the work
of the league bureau.
Mr.. Kositzky declared he still was a
league supporter, but he said he was
absolutely opposed to the printing
and educational bills, as we'll as GER
tain other measures
His record of IA years public SER
vice, said Mr., Kositzky, was open to
inspection He declared, too, that
there are enough capable men and
honest men to make laws and en-
force them without importing from
other states and countries men to do
those things. The declaration was
cheered wildly. '''='@7
Mr. Kositzky declared his readiness
