Lost!!!
Somewhere between Bismarck and Fort Lincoln, Lieut. Josiah Chance, of the Seventeenth Infantry, who left this city Wednesday morning, since which time he has not shown up. His disconsolate brother in law will pay a liberal reward for the return to The Tribune office, and for the conviction of the felons who are supposed to have stolen him.

Don't worry about Josiah Chance; although I found nothing more about his disappearance and suspected kidnapping, he won the Louisiana Lottery in 1883.

WAHPETON MANAGER FELL IN ELEVATOR
Wahpeton, N.D., Mar. 13—Edgar E Waite, who runs an elevator in this city, while the machinery was in motion, as usual, went to the working room and stepped over the conveyor. He tried it once too often today, however, for his foot slipped into the conveyor and his right leg was broken above the ankle.
The machinery made so much noise that his shouting for assistance was not heard, and he laid there in terrible agony for more than half an hour before he was found, and then he was so wedged in the convey that he had to be sawed out.

Harvey—For the second time in five years the city water tower fell, badly damaging nearby buildings. The first fall was occasioned by freezing in 1917, and the recent one by a fire which weakened the supporting structure.

A Swede by the name of Chas. Larson fired seven or eight shots from a revolver, on Fourth street, Sunday night, one of the bullets going through the door of Hall & Co's sample room. He holds an old grudge against Louis Peterson, swearing he would kill him at sight. He is also mad at two or three others. Larson was not to be found yesterday.
