Tried to Cut An Officer.
Saturday night a man named Wiley or Riley, who lives on the river bottoms, came to the city and after filling up on conversation water tried to make a rough house on Fifth street. Chief of Police McDonald tackled him and found he had a good fight on hand, during which the man was pretty badly beaten up. As McDonald was taking him to the jail Wiley or Riley drew a pocket knife and tried to do a little killing on his own account, cutting the officer's coat in several places. It took several men to subdue the man who was insanely mad, but he was finally gotten behind the bars. He may have to face the court on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

LITTLE GIRL WAS BADLY INJURED
RHAME, June 26—Ruth, the little two-year old daughter of Frank DeKleinhan, was accidentally run over by a wagon at the ranch 25 miles southwest of town. The driver of the wagon was passing near the ranch and a little boy came out to get a hammer of the wagon, and while the driver was talking to the boy, the little girl came up on the opposite side of the wagon unnoticed. When the team started the driver noticed that the front wheels struck something, and looking back saw the little girl, the wheel had passed over the head and it seems strange that life was not crushed out of her instantly. She was brought at once to the Rhame Hospital. Dr. Ewbank is attending her and there seems to be a prospect for her recovery.

Skin Grafting a Success
Grafton.—Because his uncle, Ed. Wamben, of Lankin, N.D., a member of the North Dakota house of representatives, and several other relatives submitted to the removal of skin that his own body might be covered, Amond Flaton was able to leave a local hospital and will live. Several weeks ago Representative Wamben allowed physicians to remove a large amount of skin. The grafting operation proved very successful. Flaton was burned in the explosion of a gasoline engine.
