Under the new marriage law that goes into effect on July 1st. every man and woman must first procure a certificate from a physician before they can get a license to marry. This is to prevent the marriage of persons afflicted with insanity, tuberculosis, epilepsy and similar hereditary diseases as well as contagious maladies. Women over forty-five, or men who are marrying women over that age are exempt from this rule.

David Blackey, a well known mining man of
Garnet, Mont., has been killed as the result of a somewhat singular accident. He had just purchased a horse and was riding it for the first time when a dog dashed into the roadway and snapped at the animal's heels, causing it to become unmanageable. Blackey was thrown violently to the ground and died soon afterward.

Cavalier was found lying in the railroad ditch near his farm week ago Tuesday. Mr McConnell was engaged in fixing a ditch to keep water from overflowing from the railway ditch on his farm. He was subject to epilepsy. There was about two feet of water in the ditch and he was lying on his face. He was working alone and was discovered by the hired man who was made anxious by his long absence. He was dead when found. Mr. McConnell was for many years a resident of the
Bruce neighborhood and settled there in 1880. He moved to Cavalier about twelve years ago. He was well-to-do. He was a member of the
M. E. church and was highly respected. Alex. and William McConnell and Mrs. E. Renwick of Bruce, Thos. G. McConnell, J. A. McGonnell

BOY WAS KILLED AT GARRISON
john peters shot rudolph steinmund in the forehead today.
TRIED TO SCARE HORSES
Wounded Boy Taken to Garrison But Efforts to Save Him Were In Vain.
Garrison, N.D., July 4.—Rudolph Steinmund, age 18, a son of John Steinmund, a prosperous farmer living a few miles east of this place was shot in the forehead by John Peters and after lingering for five hours died. The accident occurred about ten miles southwest of this place on the banks of the Missouri river, where three Steinmund and the Peters boys had gone to gather June berries.
Shot to Scare Horses.
Peters, who is 17 years of age, had a twenty-two calibre rifle with him and when a bunch of horses began to bother the team he fired a shot into the bushes to frighten the horses with the noise and was not aware of the whereabouts of the boy at the time. The bullet fired lodged in the boy's forehead and it is presumed it entered the brain.
Run Horses to Town.
The other two Steinmund boys placed the wounded boy in the wagon and almost killed the horses in driving them to town in order to consult a physician. They made the drive in about half an hour but their efforts were futile as the doctor could do nothing to save the wounded lad, who expired a few hours after reaching here.
Peters Boy Not in Town.
There was an inquiry to develop the whereabouts of the Peters boy. He had possibly staid {sp} behind on account of fear when the others went to town. Other reports state he had taken to the timber along the Missouri and that he is in hiding.
Coroner Notified.
Coroner Schulstad of Dogden was immediately notified by telephone. An inquest will likely be held to determine the exact way in which the boy met his death and ascertain if there had been any negligence on the part of John Peters.
