MEDICINE LAKE man 4
RECEIVES BAD BURNS

James Miller from near Medi-
cine Lake was brought to Wolf
Point Saturday for care at the
General Hospital. He was suffer
ing from burns received Saturday
morning when some gasoline with
which he was working ignited,
presumably from cigarette.
1t seems that Miller, who was
working for farmer by the name
of Tom Moore, was transferring
nsome gasoline from a barrel to a
tractor. In some way the outlet
faucet became broken and some
gasoline poured out onto the
ground Miller held his hand
over the outlet and got gasoline
over his clothing and hands before
he was able to close up the open
ing.
The gasoline on the ground
caught fire, but the men were able
to extinguish it. Then it was no
ticed that Moore's truck was afire.
He drove it away from the gas
barrel and he and another man
put out the blaze. When they had
finished this they discovered that
Miller's clothing had caught fire
and had burned completely from
his body. Miller's face and feet
were the only portions of his
body which escaped being burned.
While not deep the burns were ex-
ceedingly painful
Mr.. Moore brought him to Wolf
Point for care and at the last re-
port the young man was getting
along as we'll as was possible.

ACCIDENT LIST
WARNS DRIVERS
SPEED AND OTHER CAUSES
FILLING THE DfTCHES
WITH WRECKS

The greatest excitement that
comes out of the wheat threshing
and marketing rush, next after the
stories of sensational yields, are
the inevitable accidents to trucks
and cars and their drivers.
Near Vida George Mccartney
and John Kiester, driving at rath-
er high speed in an empty truck
belonging to Ed Schillinger, last
Friday evening struck the oppo-
site side of the ditch and the
truck turned end over end. The
men were both seriously injured
Kiester had two ribs broken and
Mccartney was badly cut around
his head and arms. The truck
was badly damaged.
Lucky Escape
Sid Scourey. residing north of
Volt. Friday afternoon was taking
home a load of lumber for the
new schoolhouse being built in
that neighborhood, when break
age in his truck caused him to
turn completely over 1t was no
easy matter for him and the man
riding with him to extract them
selves from the wreck, and then
they had lively work to extinguish
the fire which started from spilled
gasoline. Mr.. Scourey received a
broken rib and numerous cuts and
bruises.
Saturday morning Dean Her
man, driving a wheat truck for his
father. J. C. Herman, went off the
grade and his truck turned over.
Dean received a cut on the arm.
Sam Wagaman was driving his
brand new truck home, at night
and allowed himself the luxury OF
a short nap, and awoke to find his
truck in the ditch. A slight dent
in the fender was the only injury
to either truck or driver.
Other Causes
The son of Geo. A. Newton, the
rodeo performer, driving new
Chevrolet, put his car in the ditch
where it took a few turnovers
and crashed the glass and ruined
the Tenders. The accident hap
pened at the grade crossing on the
highway two miles east of here
when the driver applied his
brakes to avoid a collision with an
other car at the crossing. The

BANKS INSTALL
PRO-TEX TEAR GAS
INSURES VAULTS AGAINST
INVASION BY BURGLARS;
FED. GAS USED

George A. Didier, representative
of the Pro-Tex Corporation of
Chicago, was in Wolf Point last
week and installed their tear gas
protective system on the vault
doors of the First National and
First State banks here, thus max
ing these banks among the best
protected against burglary of any
in the state. Before coming here
Mr.. Didier installed similar sys-
TENS in the Fairview State Bank
and in the bank at Wibaux.
Practically InfaIIible
"Tear gas apparatus installed
by our corporation is as reliable
bank insurance as can be installed
today, stated Mr.. Didier," for it
is practically infallible. Tests
have proven it the most modern
and fool-proof of protective sys-
TENS. 1t is rightfully called the
challenge of the yeggmen' for
thieves will not do much robbing
of vaults after tear gas has been
liberated A blinded yegg will be
fortunate to save himself" contin-
ued Mr.. Didier." and that is the re-
suit of tear gas"

does it inflict any lasting injury

flood of tears. Hence the name
"tear gas. Gas masks are no pro-
lection and the unfortunate burg
