The man who has never developed
u taste for hunting ducks and grouse
is missing one Of the favorite sports
offered in North Dakota. Many a
North Dakota woman is able to 60 and
get her limit of birds, too. There's
no more healthful recreation offered
under the sun than that obtained in
the hills southwest of Minot where
there are ducks galore. One can
leave his desk at five o'clock anv at
ternoop and within Is minutes be at
his favorite duck pass in the hills.
An hours shooting is certain to net
fair sized bag Of mallards, teal,
spoonbills. blue bills, or gadwehs, to
be found in such profusion in the
numerous lakes in. this vicinity. One
doesn't have to be an expert shot in
order to get all the sport there is in
ammunition goes to waste. You have
led the duck trifte too much, or you
have shot just behind it or perhaps
the bird was out of range after all.
You blame your luck, you blame the
.auality Of the shells you are using
or perhaps it's the gun. 1t can't be
that your eyesight is growing dim or
that you are losing your cunning.
About the time you have decided that
:yon are a pretty good marksman,
along comes big bird, hardly within
range and you conclude that you'll
waste one more shot anyway. A shot
hits some vital spot, the wings col
lapse and your duck strikes ground
with thud that is such a delight to
the ears of hunter. You forget all
about the poor shots you have made
and as you examine your bird, you
swell out your chest and regret that
the whole world was not at hand to
witness your prowess. Your friends
will tell you that it is just one of
those lucky shots that happen once
IN n while with even the most ordin-
AIRY hunters, but you know better. Let
those who will waste their time with
golf, but considering the fact that you
aive in North Dakota, and that there's
"A long winter ahead, don't pass up an
to go out into the hills
and get your share Of ducks. Well
show you how.

Andrew Miller the creditors posted

Fred Shuman, laborer, onr0ute Ia
Minot, in Ford car, with three other
laborers, was perhaps fatally injured
liz miles south Of Minot, when the
Ford car in which the four were rid
ing ran into an open culvert, which
had not yet been completed.
The car which was travelling 20
miles an hour, landed in the excava-
ton whicheis about four feet deep,
and wide enough to contain the en-
tire car. Shuman was thrown clear
of the car and his head struck a
small pile of concrete on the high
way, resulting in conclusion Of the
brain. The injured man was brot to
Minot by E. R. Smith, who lives in
that locality and he has since remain
ed in an unconscious condition at the
Trinity hospital, where it is feared
that he cannot survive.
Shuman was accompanying Matt
Burkhard, Leon Engel and another
man known as "Blackie'', from Rog-
ers, N. D., where they had been work
ing and they were on their way to
Canada to work. Engel, who was
driving the car, held to the steering
wheel and was not badly injured.
Burkhard was thrown 80 feet and bad
ly bruised. He received black eyes,
cut under one eye and scalp
wound.
1t is said that a plank had been
placed across the road, warning tour
lists Of detour, but just before the
Rogers men arrived, someone had run
into the plank, knocking it down and
failed to replace it. The tire tracks
could be plainly seen, where the form
er car had backed away.
The Ford was badly smashed. The
radiator and front spring were
broken.
States Attorney Herigstad made
trip to the scene of the accident early
the following morning to. determine
if there was negligence on the part
Of the man in charge of grading the
road.
Mr.. Herigstad found book belong
ing to Shuman and found Lawler, Ia,
as one address written in it. He i'm
mediately wired the chief of police
asking if Fred Shuman is known
there and late Wednesday afternoon
received wire from A. Shuman, evil

Shuman was worse, q wire should be |

man at Dassel, MINI. Accordingly |
Mr.. Herigstad wired them that night |
and it is expected that they will reach I
MinOt soon.
Shultz & Co., were the contractors
in charge Of the grading and they
let the contract to build the concrete
to Rue & Sons of Bismarck.
Undoubtedly number of damage
suits will result from this accident,
against Shultz & Co., Rue and Sons
and probably Ward county.
One of the victims has employed
Fun e & Eide, attorneys, and has al
ready started an action for damages.
1t has been determined definitely
