Girl Dies In Effort To Save Young Brother
Minot, N.D., Aug. 5—Ida, nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Boisch of Sawyer, two stations east of Minot was instantly killed and her two year old brother, whom she was attempting to save, suffered internal injuries from which physicians believe he will not recover, when they were struck by the Soo line train number 106 eastbound.
The little boy had wandered on to the railroad tracks and was playing there when the train came into sight. The girl rushed to his assistance, but the train struck them both, hurling them to the side of the track and inflicting a crushed skull to the girl, fractured legs and other bruises and cuts.

Farmer and Wife In Hospital As Result of Automobile Spill
Little Henry Rambled Into Horse and Latter Had Best of Argument
As a result of an automobile accident which occurred on the Red Trail highway about one mile east of the George Daily farm, Mr. and Mrs. Bahm are in the Mandan hospital receiving treatment for bruises sustained. The Bahm automobile is in the garage being repaired.
George Ahren was driving home in a buggy and leading a horse behind Mr. and Mrs. Bahm and son were in a Ford car driving home from Mandan. When a considerable distance away the horn was tooted for Ahren to turn out of the road to give them room to pass. Agren drove up along side of the road bank, but the horse behind the rig did not get far enough out of the way to give enough room for the auto to pass. The result was that the driver, the Bahms boy, became confused, and the auto ran into the horse. The machine turned turtle and Mr and Mrs Bahm were thrown out and badly bruised and shaken up. Young Bahm escaped injury. The horse also escaped uninjured.

A Bad Case.
Jamestown is now agog over a operation in which Helen Barden, formerly of this city, and one Andrew Johnson are the prime factors, and Dr. DePuy of Jamestown the one who occupies the most dangerous position. It appears that the girl, who is 22 years of age, became pregnant through intimacy with Johnson, and left Bismarck in search of a doctor who would perform an abortion. Dr. DePuy did the work for $50, and now he is in court and will undoubtedly be convicted. The trial is in progress, and the Jamestown Alert contains the evidence in full. It is a most unfortunate mistake of Dr. DePuy as well as the girl and her unfriendly friend.

"My Dog," Says County Auditor
Bowbells, N.D., Aug 5.—"That's my dog," exclaims Deputy County Auditor Lawrence Kopriva, when he was presented with the hide of an animal which J.W. Moore had taken for a coyote and shot.
The dog was a purebred Scotch collie. Mr. Moore noticed the animal several rods away and, getting his Winchester rifle, shot it.
He had it on display in front of a local store for a time, and then decided to collect the bounty on it from the county auditor.

Kind Neighbors Tell Mother Her Son Had Been Killed By Train
Mother Answers Phone Patiently, Knowing Her Boy Was Playing in the Yard All the Time.—Others Worry Over Tragedy.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs Frank McCormick, 209 Tenth street, was called to the telephone and a friend sympathetically and gently advised her that her little son, Emmet, had been run over by the train near Apple Creek.
During the afternoon the phone rang many times, and numerous people asked, in soft and mournful tones, about the poor boy and condoled her in the moment of great grief. Tears flowed freely from the reciever of the telephone.
The friends had the little boy dead, mashed up, and the remains on the way to Bismarck. The undertakers got a whisper of it and beaming rubbed their hands together in that way they have and ordered the hearse oiled up for use.
At the court house, where all the gossip of the county settles, the chief topic of the day was the death of the boy.
The mother meanwhile was quite happy, except it bothered her quite a little to have to keep answering the telephone.
Her son was in the back yard, happily playing, and hadn't been away from home all day, to say nothing of being at Apple Creek.
Investigation shows that some person claiming to have seen a boy run over at Apple Creek thought he resembled the McCormick boy and spread the word around town. Up until this noon no definite information could be obtained as to whether any one was really hurt at Apple Creek or not. At any rate it was not Emmet McCormick.
