BREAKS LEG I'M JUMP
FROM BLAZING WAGON

Wolf Point, Sept. Jack Heser,
McCone County farmer, suffered
BABY fractured leg in an exciting
threshlng machine accident on the
farm OF Linder Hanks. .Heser was
driving loaded bundle wagon past
the engine when sparks SET the load
on fire. In the excitement that
quickly ensued Heser jumped from
his load and fell in front of the
wheels and his team started to run
with the wagon but broke themselves
loose. Members of the crew, at
tempting to extingulsh the fire and
save the bundles, began pitching off
the load and in doing so covered up
the injured man whom they did not
see on the ground. He was nearly
smothered before he could call. at
tention to his plight.
Heser was brought to Wolf Point
where an X-ray OF the injured leg
revealed serious fractures OF the
knee and lower bones The fire as7
the threshing rig was extfnguisbed,
without serious damages.

First Campaign
Talk Of Season
Democratic Nominees Fire Opening
Guns Here Wednesday Evening.

The first candidates seeking state
office to visit Circle in the present
campaign was the Hon. ]. e. Erick.
inee for Governor of Montana, and
Mr. C g. Carlson, of Bozeman, the
democratic nominee for Attorney
General of Montana, who paid Circle
a visit on Wednesday evening, and
made a breif address here.
Local democrats were unaware of
their coming at this time until they
received word on Tuesday afternoon,
consequently there was only a small
turnout at the meeting, while no
doubt many would have welcomed
the opportunity to meet these gentle
men.
Mr. Carlson is a brilliant young at
torney and an orator VINO can del
yer the goods. He spoke briefly su
national issues, while Judge Erickson
confined his remarks to affairs OF
the state. Both made things look
pretty tough for the republicans,
and showed up the wonderful things
accomplished by the democratic ad-
ministration. We have not time to
go into details.
Mr.. Erickson stated that he had
been resident of western Montana
for about 80 years, but that this was
his first visit to section of the
state, and expressed himself as sur
prised to find it the splendid country
that it is. He predicted a graf fu-
ture for this section, and glad of the
opportunity to see it first hand.
Eugene Kirchner had the honor of
acting as chairman of the meeting,
and introducing the gentlemen.
The gentlemen were given a fine
reception here, as all candidates
should be, regardless of party.
The next state candidate to give |
us some dope on the state issues will !
probably be a republican and then /
we will get the other side.
