MRS. AUSTIN BADLY INJURED.
Mrs. W. D. Austin, wife of the deputy state treasurer, was quite badly burned Saturday morning while she was working with a cleaning solution, the base of which was gasoline. The mixture exploded and Mrs. Austin was quite badly burned around the face and one of her arms. Her face was blistered in one or two places and the arm badly burned. The wounds were dressed at once and aside from the inconvenience and pain she will be none the worse for the accident.

WOMAN HIT ON HEAD WITH A BEER BOTTLE
Mrs. Roy Heinert is in a hospital in Mandan, after being struck on the head with a beer bottle by John Sagmiller, a man who was helping celebrate the wedding of Mrs. Heinert's brother, Peter Schook, Jr.
Schook was united in marriage to Miss Christine Matz, and a celebration was held at the Schook home. Sagmiller became rather well saturated and tried to pull up a few yards of fence in the front yard. Mrs. Heinert was real fond of the fence, and objected, Sagmiller said that it was too dark for them to tell who was doing the work, so Mrs. Heinert used a pocket flash-light. Sagmiller then wielded the beer bottle.

ARM THAT WAS CRUSHED SAVED BY GOOD SURGERY
R.S. Armstrong of Steele was in the city today exhibiting a fairly good specimen of a right arm. Several weeks ago his right arm was wound around a pulley in his feed mill at Steele, crushing all the bones, and straining every tendon. It seemed that amputation would be inevitable, but Bismarck surgeons saved the member, and Mr. Armstrong hopes to have the use of it once more. But for this accident the Steele man now would be at Long Island, preparing to embark for France with the North Dakota troops, as he had enlisted in Co. A First regiment only a few days before he was injured.

A gang of horse thieves seem to have been operating in the southern part of this state, and in South Dakota. F. S. Ward and T. Amunson of
Wolsey,
Beadle county, lost two horses in September stolen from their pasture. The animals were traced 150 miles north and found in the passession
{sp} of
LaMoure county residents who had bought them of a stranger. Messrs Ward and Amunson say this same man is believed to have made three trips into this state from South Dakota, each time driving a bunch of horses picked up out of pastures en route. Several horses are at
Dickey awaiting claimants.

Linton extension, got a piece of wood in his good eye and may lose that.
