FORD COUPE ROLLS
DOWN EMBANKIMENT

While coming down the P'wood-Sco-
hey road in a Ford coupe, three miles
east of Archer. Wednesday evening
about 700 o'clock, H. H. McCone OF
Devils Lake and Baker Nelson of
Plentywood, ran off the approach tc
the steel bridge, when the lights on
their machine became disconnected
because of a defective wire.
The front wheel Of the machine
caught the railing of the bridge, strik-
ing the hub and the coupe rolled down
an incline, turning completely over
and not content with this performance
again continued its roll, landing in a
creek at the bottom of the hill.
Baker Nelson crawled out Of the top
of the car after the machine lay quiet,
through a hole which had been
made when the car went on its wild
journey. He ran to the top Of the
hill and stopped a car which was go
ing by and the auto went for help
to take the men to Plentywood. In
the meantime McCone had extricated
himself from the wreck and the two
gentlemen were brought to this city.
Outside of a few bruises, Nelson
and McCone were not injured, but
the body of the Ford was almost a
total wreck, and the chassis eff the
machine was badly twisted.

MARKUSON STORE
BURNS AT DOOLEY

Dooley.-This town was again Wis
tied by a disastrous fire last Friday
morning at 200 o'clock which wiped
out the Markuson store.
The people of the village were
aroused by the alarm of fire only to
see huge flames leaping high into the
sky as the dry wood of the building
housing the Markuson store burned
like tinder.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it is thought that the fire start
ed from an overheated stove or a
defective stove pipe.
This is the third big fire to visit
Dooley and it is hard blow to the
village as one by one the business
houses have been consumed by fire.
The loss is a severe one to Mr.
Markuson, although fortunately he
had the property partially covered by
insurance. 1t is not known at this
time whether or not Mr.. Markuson
will rebuild and put in another line
of merchandise.
