Robin Doss, who lives about a mile
west of Pennington, has reason to
remember Tuesday nights storm
most unpleasantly, as fine three
year-old Jersey COW was struck by
lightning some time that night in his
COW lot and killed. Ten other cows
were in the same lot, and Robin is in
clined to be thankful that only one
was killed, though it is serious ,loss
to him.
Miss Ella A. Day, who is surgical
nurse in the Boone County hospital,
located at Columbia, had very Sc
rious accident last January. While
boiling test tubes, they exploded and
about 200 pieces of glass entered Miss
Days face and eyes, the effect being
that the right eye ball had to be re-
moved. Three weeks ago Miss Day
went to st. Louis to consult an eye
specialist, who gave her permission
to visit her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
E. Day. She returned to st. Louis
Monday and has since written her par
ents that her doctor assures her that
her condition is as good as could pos
sibly be expected, but it will be some
time yet before she will be entirely
recovered.
The Times is authorized this week
To present the name of Hiram G.
johnson, of Bismarck, as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Representative from St. Francois
county. In a recent suggestion Of Mr..
Johnson for this place, The Times
spoke of the fact that he was now
about finishing a legal course Of
study, which would perhaps add to his
efficiency as a member of the law
making body of the State, though
personally he appears to need no fur
ther qualification to creditably repre-
sent our people than what he already
possesses. He has extensive infor.
nation on the needs of our people, and
apparently he has also the ability to
work intelligently to such an end,
which he assures US will be his chief
ambition If selected for that place.
While he is now in business in Flat
River, his home continues to be in
Bismarck.
J The Times would suggest to all au-
to owners that fhe time has arrived
when 1t will be advisable for them to
have their cars properly equipped, il
they propose to continue to use them.
Sheriff Hunt has notice in this is
sue, in which he states that after next
Saturday, April 9Th, all automobiles
must be equipped with two license
plates, two headlights, both of which
must be lighted when running at
night, as well as red light at the
rear; also that the dazzling head
lights, now so common, must be re.
placed with ground glass or a dim.
mer. Continued ignoring of any Of
these things after the above date will
subject violators to arrest and fine
in accordance with the law. And We
will further state that Sheriff Hum
makes speciality of doing just what
he promises to do. So you had better
take warning, if your car is not nov
equipped as-the law provides.
Friends of r. C. Tucker for som,
time past have been using persuasive
powers in an effort to get him to an
nounce for Prosecuting Attorney, sub
ject to the action of the voters at thu
Democratic primary. Finally Nh
Tucker has promised to make tn,
! race, and has requested The Times t.
present his name this week to GU
readers. Some of the reasons givei
for the insistence on Mr.. Tucker max
ing this race are that there is crying
need, just at this time, for vigorous
enforcement of the law against al
kinds of criminality, which at leas
is compliment to him, as it is an &C
acknowledgement that those who hav
been instrumental in persuading Nh
Tucker to enter this contest. hav
confidence in his honesty. ability an,
integrity. 1t is really a fact that Nh
Tucker did not seek this office, blu
now that he is in the race he propose
to fulfill his part of the agreement b,
making the race in earnest.
