A terrible accident occurred near
Kenmare last week when Noalia, the two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Harris was run over by a wagon. Mr. Harris had just returned from Kenmare and the little tot ran out to meet him. He picked her up and drove into the yard. He then put her down and after unloading, started up thinking the little one had gone into the house. He noticed something blocking the wheel and upon looking down was horrified to see his little girl under the wheel. The baby was taken out and taken to town but died shortly after arriving, from internal injuries.

Choosing a tree to crash into as an alternative when they found their automobile on the brink of the
Pembina river, the members of a
Hanna motor party were badly injured. They had reached the river bank on a blind trail leading from the main traveled road, coming onto it in the dark.

Man Mangled By Train at Eckelson
Stranger in State Ground to Death Under Cars Of Train Saturday.
Porter Hussan, of Muncie, Indiana, was horribly mangled and killed Saturday afternoon at Eckelson, when he was run over by a west bound freight train.
Hussan, who it appears, from papers found on him, was in the state for the harvest season, attempted to board the train about two o'clock in the afternoon, just as it was about to pull out of Eckelson.
As he attempted to swing himself onto the cars his hand slipped and his body swung under the wheels. The body was dragged for several hundred feet, and before the train could be stopped was horribly ground and mangled.
Relatives of the man at Muncie, have been notified, and it is probably the body will be returned there for burial. It is said that he had a brother with him on the trip, but this report could not be verified.
