A McKenzie county farmer lost a four-horse outfit and a large load of grain, and barely escaped with his life while crossing the Missouri river on the ice last week. His loss is estimated at $1200.

Has To Be Genuine.
One of the well known farmers of Burleigh County called at the county auditor's office Thursday afternoon with a hide for which he wished to receive the regular state wolf bounty. County Auditor Healy recognized it as a red fox skin, however. The farmer was much surprised as he had been sincere in believing it to be a wolf, and there was a good laugh at his error. There have been an unusual number of bounties paid during the past few months but they have all been genuine wolves.

Whiskey Luck
A man, name unknown, fell out of the window of Soo train No. 105 Tuesday morning just west of Kensal. The train was running at full speed when the man, who was drunk, pitched out of the window and fell into a pool of mud and water. One of his friends told the conductor and the train was backed up a mile and a half and there they found the man sitting by the roadside, unhurt except for a scratch on the face. That he was not killed is a great wonder, as there are large boulders along the right of way at that point.

A man of the name of J. A. Gebus, coming from Neillsville, Wis. and on his way to Portal, N.D., where he was to meet his brother, was run over and badly mangled by Soo train No. 105, which arrived in the city this evening at 9:15.
Gebus was standing on the Soo platform in this city when the train approached. Piled up in front of him were bundles and bales of all sizes and pushing past him were people hurrying to the ticket office.
The light seemed to blind Gebus, or a slight shove overcame his balance, for with but a clutch at the empty air he fell across the tracks not eighteen feet from the incoming train.
Two bystanders jumped to his rescue and at the risk of their own lives attempted to pul him up from the rails.
Their efforts however, were awarded by but a movement of the body, turning it so that the feet and not the head lay across the rail. The engine passed over the left leg at the knee and the right foot at the ankle.
Gebus was conscious all of the time and appeared to be suffering agony from his injured limbs.
The injured man was taken to the hospital where it became apparent that both legs would have to be amputated and that there would be little chance of his recovery.
Gebus is a man of 24 years of age and was on his way to Portal, where his brother, J. L. Gebus is a machine collector. His brother was wired last night by Chief of Police Hagan and expected to arrive in the city today.

Little Child Gored By Bull
Gackle, May 15. Possibly one of the most terrible misfortunes that has happened in this community occured at the home of John Rath, four miles northwest.
The 8-year-old son, together with some other children, had gone out to the pasture to drive in the cows, when the little fellow was attacked by a large bull that was in the bunch. The horns of the bull made many wounds on one side of the boy's body, necessitating sixteen stitches to close them up. The boy was at once brought to town and placed in the care of Dr. Sturgeon, who labored faithfully to save him, but only preserved life 24 hours when he succumbed to internal injuries.
