TRAIN KILLS TWO BISMARCK
MEN
Mandan, N. D., Aug. 2S.--Blinded
Martinson, 26, single, barber, and
by the Durham Lumber company,
juries, both dying within an hour,
were riding was struck by N. P. train
No. 7 on the main line crossing of
the Bismarck Mandan highway just
west of Mandan Sunday.
The car, driven by Martinson, was
thrown so feet from the crossing
when struck squarely, and was liter
ally torn to pieces, sections being
thrown $50 to 200 feet away. Other
autoists who witnessed the accident
picked up the badly mangled men,
rushing Wimovsky to the Deaconess
hospital in Mandan, and Martinson to
a hospital in Bismarck.
Witnesses to the accident declare a
heavy dust cloud had been caused by
the scores Of cars on the road, and
the men apparently were endeavoring
to cross the track but because of the
dust could not accurately guage the
distance of the train. Neither re-
gained consciousness after the acct
dent.
The body Of Wilmovsky, prepared
for burial here, will be taken to Russo,
N. D., where his parents reside. Mar
tinson will be buried at Bismarck.
The crossing where the car was
struck has been condemned by the
federal government, and will be eli
minated when the new highway be-
tween Mandan and Bismarck Of
which the new $2,O0O,00O bridge is a
part is completed. Northern Pacific
engineers, United States war depart
ment, bureau of roads, and the state
and county officials cooperating,
have already prepared plans for a
subway under this and other tracks.

to ride bucking broncho and that
desire was filled to overlooking Mon
day. He borrowed pair of chaps, a
lassoo and six shooter from one Of
the ranch hands and set out to cap
ture coyotes. The cayuse he was rid
ing soon became aware Of the fact
that he was carrying an inexperienced
rider and threw him to the ground. He
then added injury to insult, kicking
and bruising one Of his legs. Jones
got out of this predicament in some
fortunate fashion and in the afternoon
wanted to gain a brand new exper-
fence in the harvest field. He was
given a team to drive and turned
them too short in going down hill,
upsetting a load Of bundle oats. His
other leg caught in the rack and his
ankle was sprained. Mr.. Jones was
assisted to the house and a pair of
crutches improvised for him. He has
returned to the city and is able to
hobble about with the aid of his sticks.
Mr.. Jones and daughters, Pauline
and Margie, accompanied c. r. Truax
to the ranch, and Mrs. Truax who has
been spending several weeks there,
returned with them.

Hog Feed Trials Begun at A. C.
Feeding trials for the purpose of
determining the effect of different
amounts Of tankage on hogs are be-
ing started at the experiment station
here, according to J. H. Shepherd,
chairman of the animal husbandry de-
partment.
"Tankage, when fed in the self
feeder so that the hogs get all they
will eat averages a gain of 1915 lbs.
more head, but the cost Of the
tankage when freely fed was 50 great
that $17.16 less profit was made per
hog, in our experiments last year."
said Mr.. Shepherd.
The trials this year consist Of four
lots with IL hogs to each lot, with
each of the four breeds, Poland China,
Duroc, Chester White and Yorkshire
! represented in each lot. Each lot of
hogs is given 7/8 acres of white
flint corn to forage.
Hogs in lot No. l will have all the
tankage they can eat in addition to
the corn. Lot No. 2 is limited to a
pound of tankage per hog a day,
while lot No. is given no tankage
but is allowed to forage one-half acre
of alfalfa. Lot No. gets nothing
but corn.
Hogs in the cornfeld with free
| fed tankage ate an average of 8 ID.
tankage day over the 56-day period
of the trial last season. Experiments
show that pasturing alfalfa with corn
replaces tankage and is less costly.
