ThTeshers Eligible
Compensation Act
State Workmans Compensa.
ton Act Gives Protection
Threshing Crews.

A special telegram from Fargo
this forenoon at the hour of going
to press from the Publishers Nat
ional Service Bureau states an i'm
portant ruling has just been made
by the Workmans Compensation
Bureau which provides that all
threshermen except farmers thresh-
ing their own grain must come
under the workman's compensa-
ton fund and threshers pay pre-
miums for workmen employed on
their outfits. The law shows that
this act does not intend to include
thresning under the compulsory
feature Of it's provisions. It comes
under the agricultural class of
work, but is optional. Thresher-
men on machines operated publicly
and not privately will be given
compensation protection where .ap-
plication is made of the Bureau at
Bismarck.

Four Horses Die In Barn Fire

Only meagre details are obtainable
of bad fire loss sustained during
the forenoon hours of Tuesday at the
farm of David Patterson in the Elk
wood and Mazda settlement, along
the boundary line seventeen miles
north of Langdon.
The loss includes four head of
work horses in addition to a large
frame barn and its entire contents.
How the fire started is only conjec-
ture, but generally laid to smouId-
ering spark which in the dry tinder
may have lain for some hours before
famed into flame
At an earlier hour there would not
have been any chance to have stopped
the spread of the fire to other build
ings, perhaps even including the Pat
terson home. In spite of the fire be-
ing discovered shortly before noon
the high wind had the fire beyond
control before help could be summer
ed. To what extent the loss is cover
ed by insurance has not been learned

visited by Henry Myers, who since he
was last here has had thirty seven
months service in the U. S. Marines,

since Nov. 1918, when the arm istic
was signed, been with the army of
occupation on the Rhine and was later
given his discharge owing to total dis.

resulted from the. hardships and ex-
posures in action Twic. while in ac-
tion he was sent to the base hos
lpital with wounds. His discharge

engagements on the battle front. At
the time of his enlistment Myers was
working on the e. Wienecke farm at

Three Little Girls
Die in Fire Trap
Charred Bodies of Rivard's
Little Ones Are Taken
Ruins of Home

When the small white casket that
contained the charred remains of the
three little ones of MIR. and Mrs.
Ed. Rivard were lowered into a
grave in the Olga cemetery on Sun.
day afternoon the closing chapter was
reached of one of the saddest trage-
dies that has been enacted in Cava-
lier county in several years.
The fire in which the Rivards lose
their home and all it contained also
was fatal to the extent that three of
the family of seven children were
burned, the bodies being charred be-.
yond recognition when recovered from
the smoking ruins of the home.
The victims-three little sisters,
the FIVE month old baby, Dorisse, and
her sisters. Lucille and Viviume,
aged five and one-half and three
years old, respeetively-were in the
upstair room of the Rivard home on
8 rented farm in Hay township, about
half way between Osnabrock and
Olga. 1t was Saturday about noon,
and Mrs. Rivard had left, the home
going to see what detained the return
Of her husband to the midday meal.
At distance of about half a mile
she turned to note that the house was
in flames. On her return she found
that neighbors had saved the four
older children who had been left in
the living room downstairs, but had
not known of the others being left i'll
the room ups tairs, 1t is likely that
they succumbed to suffocation by the
smoke before the flames reached
them and thereby saved the torture of
being burned to death.
\ From what could be learned from
the children saved the fire evidently
started in the room downstairs. The
oldest of the four children saved is
/ Homer, boy of eight and his sister
Jeanette about six and one hall
years, also the four year old twins,
a boy and girl Emil and Liliennne.
It would seem that the boy of the
four year old twins had got at a boz
of matches and was playing with then
on the floor, the ignition causing the
explosion Of an oil stoye that was
standing near by. Every thing being
dry as tinder it was but a few sec.
onds and the whole house was afire
The funera. followed from the Ca.
tholic church at Olga OH Sunday af
ternoon and was attended by vast
concourse of friends Of the Rivardt

since the sad tragedy purse of up
wards ST, 900 has been raised to aie

they have sustained.

Crawls Out of Auto Upset

Alex. McFarlane was in b ad
mix-up while driving his car to town
Thursday evening from his farm in
the Harvey Center settlement. 1t was
while nearing the fair grounds on the
road north of town that Mr.. McFar.
lane lost control of his car, which
swerved to the side of the road and
smashed the radiator, wrecked the
top and Windshield and in otherways
gave the car severe shaking up.
1t left Mac under the car, from which
he managed to crawl in a dazed condi.
tlon to find that he had escaped with
scratches, bruises and flesh wounds
from an accident that in many cases
is attended with either serious or
fatal results Mr.. McFarlane had
been shocking all through the day,
the intense heat had almost played
him out and he quit at the point of
exhaustion. After supper, feeling
somewhat better he came to town in
his car for binder repairs and says
that at the time of the accident he
felt himself losing consciousness and
that everything went black in front
Of him After that he knew nothing
until he crawled out from under the
car and saw what had happened. Nc
dodbt his collapse was due to heat
prostration as he has been similarly
affected by hot weather since his Sc
we're illness of about two years ago.

Oil Well Is Found
On Farm at Olga
Spectators Investigate Rich
Flow of Oil Lately Dis
covered at Olga

Charles LaRoque last week showed
the Mountaineer man sample of oil
taken from the farm of Roderick
Beauchamp, one mile and half east
of Olga.
For the past year or more Mr.
Bauchamp has been unable to use the
water from his we'll, which is about
fifty feet deep and was used when
first put in, for drinking and house
purposes. But it soon mad an oily
taste and finally got 80 that only the
stock could drink it-and now it is
getting so bad that even the cattle
will not touch it unless forced to
from thirst.
The oil seems to seep in fro.n the
bottom and rises to the top, formisg
a scum from half an inch to two
inches deep and when thrown on the
ground leave. it black and greasy.
The sample shown burned freely,
producing bright flame with intense
black smoke. The sample was in a
bottle, Just as it came from the. we'll
!, and fire was set to stick simply
dipped in the mixture. Mr.. Beau
champ has had couple of very
enticing offers for his farm from two
producing companies, but he is hold

experts before selling.

Why Langdon Draws Trade?

Autos parked on Third street last
Saturday evening and the crowd of
busy shoppers that gathered here
from over the county from six o'c lock
in the evening until after midnight
gave Langdon quite a metropolitan
appearance. People from all over the
county are alive to the fact that they
can come to Langdon on Saturday
evening and do their shopping at
stores that carry stocks equal to any
to be found this side of the Twin
Cities and Chicago. and at prices
that challenge the competition of cat
alog houses and mail order firms.
It pays to trade in Langdon and the
people for miles around take advan-
tage of doing their weeks trading
here when Saturday night comes.
