DEATH OF SON OF MIR.
AND MRS. CHRISTINSON

Walter Albert Christinson, a son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto M. Christinson,
passed away on February 9Th at IL
D. M, of influenza-pneumonia. He
was one year and eight months OF
age.
Walter was an unusually bright and
beautiful boy, and to all appearances
a perfect specimen of babyhood, when
he was taken sick about three weeks
previous to his death, and everything
which loving hands could possibly do
for the little fellow was done, but to
no avail.
The funeral cortege left the Pet
erson chapel, for the Glasgow Gem
etery, where interment took place, at
2 o'clock Monday afternoon, and SER
vices we're held at the grave conduct
ed by the Rev. R. H. Stone OF the
Methodist church. The choir from
that church also sang.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christinson, who are
we'll known throughout Valley coun'
ty, have a wide circle of friends who
deeply sympathize with them in then
bereavement.

have cooperation. Alone he can ac-
complish little for the betterment of
farm life in the state and the nation.
No matter how great the effort that
is required, the farmer should strive
for .ever-increasing growth and i'm
provement of his cooperative organ
izations. He should not be d%iscour-
aged if, at times, progress is not as
rapid as he would like it, but rather
reflect upon the truth that without
cooperation his voice would be feeble
and his influence inperceptible.
The farmer should be the last to be
lured into advocating schemes of
state-ownership of industries, bank
ing, insurance, water-powers, rail
roads and utilities.
He has most to lose and socialism
once established would end with COM
mon ownership of the farmers lands.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT;
BOY WALKS A BLOCK
Young Culbertson Lad Shows Pluck
Although Dangerously Wounded
by Accidental Discharge of
Revolver.

About $3.50 yesterday afternoon Lin
del Stephens, the 14-year-old son of
Mrs. Frank Stephens of Culbertson,
got hold of his deceased fathers
white handled automatic revolver. He
thought he would have some fun shoot
ing tin cans, etc, so he stepped into
S. S. Moen's store and bought a box
of shells. Just outside the store he
loaded the gun and in some manner
shot himself. The ball entered Lin
del's body just below the center
breast bone and came out just be-
meath the left shoulder blade.
The young lad is nervy. He put
the gun in his pocket and went up
to DR.. Munch's office. His uncle, w.
T. Stephens of Scobey, was in town.
His mother and uncle were notified
and at nice preparations were made
to take the wounded boy to Willis
ton on the fast mail. DR.. Munich,
w. T. Stephens and his mother &C
companied him. He will be cared for
at the hospital in that town.
Your editor had an interview with
Lindel about half an hour after the
accident. He was not suffering much
at that time and talked freely about
the accident. The wound, however is
a dangerous one, and it will take
several days to determine the out

good the boy will pull through, as
he is we'll supplied with those quail
ties.
