"Injured In Action." Little Girl Doing Her Bit, A Heroine
Woodworth, N.D., Sept 26—Little Hazel Edwards, aged ten, is the first girl volunteer of Woodworth to be injured in action. Miss Edwards' jaw was broken in three places and several teeth were knocked out when a singletree on a hay stacker which she was driving for her father broke, and the bar snapped back and struck her. She is a daughter of H. B. Edwards, who proudly declares her one of the best men on the place.

A Close Call—A tragedy was narrowly averted at the store of Jahr and Eastman at Wilton Thursday afternoon, says the News. A customer was looking at a Winchester shot-gun with a view of buying. Like all guns in the store, this gun was not supposed to be loaded, and the customer pulled the trigger to try its action. There was an explosion, a charge of shot caromed down the store, through the hardware department, and some lodged in the office. John Oszust was in its wake, but he happened to be stooping over, which was all that saved him from being badly hurt.

Thrown Under Binder.
Souris.—While Frank, the 14-year-old son of John Oxton, was driving a binder, one of the other teams hitched to a binder ran away, and running in front of Frank's team frightened them and they broke away, separating the binder from the truck. Frank tried to catch his horses, and in the attempt to do so, the horses knocked him down, trampling on him and striking him with the truck wheel, which cut a bad gash in his forehead and otherwise bruising him.
