WISE MIR. FOX

MIR. FOX had not the least idea
Ava why he carried off the old cart
wheel from Mr.. Mans barnyard, but he
was so cross because he could not get
in to pay a visit to the poultry that he
wanted to do something, and so he
trundled the old wheel off to his home.
I'll just place it in front of my
doorway" said Mr.. Fox when he
reached home. 81 need not be so care
full about closing the door, with this
old wheel in front of it. The spokes
will keep folks out and 1 can get some
air."
This was all Mr.. Fox had in his
mind when he left the old wheel by
his door, and he was not in the least
to blame for what followed. But it
proved to be such a good scheme that
he afterward Dragged to all the wood
folks about how he "fixed'' Mr.. Dog.
MIR. Dog had not started out to find
Mr.. Fox. He knew nothing about his
call at the farm, but as he was run

INDIANS KILLED
AT RAILROAD CROSSING

The following more complete story
of the Mondak grade crossing acct
dent, mentioned last week, is from
the Valley Tribune of Bainville:
Two Indian women and a little
boy about seven years old were in
stantly killed at Monday about II
o'clock last night when train No. 27,
west bound, known as the fast mail,
struck them while crossing the track
just east of the Monday station. The
two men of the party escaped, one
slightly injured and the other unin-
jured.
The Indians, five in number, were
from the Fort Peck reservation, and
were eastward bound. They passed
through here yesterday and had evil
IDENTIFY gotten into Mondak during
the afternoon and had stopped there
for a brief rest before continuing
their trip. 1t is said that "frewater"
played a most important part in their
detention and that when the acct
dent happened all were "mooned
up"
Coroner Art Gustafson of this
city was Immediately notified and
,ogether with John Hagen and Dick
Iessner left at once for the scene
If the accident and viewed the place
md removed the bodies. The Indian
gent at Poplar was notified and is
expected to arrive on No. 2 today,
vhen the inquest will be held.
That there was something wrong
5 attested to by the fact that one
a full view for a couple of miles
own the track to the eastward with
ut obstruction of any kind, when
pproaching the crossing from the
orth side, and that they should not

The wagon was struck about the

others, and then somehow he seemed
to get all tangled up between those
wheel spokes.
Mr.. Dog pulled out a leg, only to
put it between two other spokes, and
the first thing he knew he was rolling
down the hill in front of Mr.. Fox's
doorway with the cart wheel around
his neck.
Mr.. Fox had heard the noise, of
course, and was peeking out to see
what was going on, and now that Mr..
Dog was on his way down the hill he
came out to see how it ended.
When he reached the foot of the
hill Mr.. Dog jumped up and, without
stopping eve to give himself a shake,
he started off home on the run with
his tail between his legs, and he did
not stop until he was inside his house.
"Well, you should have seer how
my trick worked" said Mr.. Fox when
later he was telling his neighbor, Mr..
'Possum, about it. "You should get
yourself a cart wheel, friend 'Possum,
and 1 will wager Mr.. Dog will run a
mile without a stop when he spies it
by your doorway.
II really should be paid for think
ing up such good schemes to protect
us wood folks" said Mr.. Fox, looking
very wise; "but 1 am so fond of my
friends that 1 have to share all the
good things 1 discover with them"
Mr.. 'Possum was not a very wise |
creature, but he knew Mr.. Fox pretty
well, and he did not feel at all GER
tain there was not some trick about
the new scheme hat would get him
into trouble and benefit Mr.. Fox. Any
way, he did not see any use in trying
a cart wheel to keep away his enemy
when he lived in a tree, where Mr.. Dog
could not climb.
"Going to try it?' inquired Mr.. Fox,
who saw cart wheels hanging from
.rees all through the woods.
NO." replied Mr.. 'Possum. at may
oe all right for you, who have a tail
,nly for show, but with a tail like mine
ind a tall tree to climb 1 think I had
