Youngster Has Nothing to Say About Accident
Lidgerwood, N.D.—May 26—The seven-year-old son of Charles Hruby, east of the city, is saying little these days. The youngster has five stitches in his tongue, which he bit through and left hanging by a shred when he fell from a riding plow which his father was driving. The boy probably will be able to tell of his experience some weeks later.

One of the Schultz boys of
Bowbells denies the reports circulated at his old home at
Paynesville, Minn., that he had frozen to death. There are about nine thousand more North Dakota people who find it necessary to deny similar reports.
It was reported at Paynesville, Minn., that when seven teams hauling wheat to Bowbells arrived, it was found that the drivers were frozen stiff. This had lead the drivers to send in strenuous objections to such reports.

BROKE OUT 26 WINDOW PANES.
A one legged stranger who no doubt was full of dope, entered the big white house near the G. N. depot, unoccupied, and owned by N. J. Coddington, and proceeded to make night hideous for those in that neighborhood by breaking out the window lights with his crutch. Judge Murray was notified and securing Deputy Sheriff Dan Dougherty, went at once to the house, arriving in time to see the fellow knock out the twenty-sixth and last window pane. The fellow then barred the doors and hid in a closet. Murray entered the dark room, and with difficulty opened the closet door. The fellow struck at him with a crutch but missed. Murray, who was unarmed, aimed as tho {sp} he had a gun in his hand and told the fellow to step out or he'd kill him. Murray held a big rock in his hand. The fellow came out, and stood against the outer door. The Judge saw the fellow, who was very powerful was about to attack him and threw the rock close to him. As he opened the door, Dougherty grabbed him and they placed the fiend in the auto. Believing there were others in the house Murray went back to search, and the fellow broke loose from the auto and went across the street with his one leg faster than an ordinary man could have with two. He hid in another house. It took five men to over power him when he was landed in jail.
