Several stitches were taken in the boy's head but the injuries were not as serious as feared, and he was to be taken home today by his parents.

Local Men Arrested On Serious Charge
Late yesterday afternoon warrants were issued for the arrest of two of the prominent business men of Valley City charged with a statutory offense against Bertha Boneen, daughter of William Boneen, living on the east side of Valley City.
Both men furnished bonds, in the sum of $2,000 each, in the court of I. J. Moe, and will have their preliminary hearing next Tuesday.
The arrest is the culmination of rumors regarding relations, alleged between the two men and the girl, which have extended over a period of several weeks, but which many thought would be dropped.
About an hour after the warrant was sworn out Tuesday, the father of the girl left the city with his family, and drove by wagon to Oliska {sp}. Neighbors who saw them leave the city notified the states attorney, and when Northern Pacific train No. 8 reached that place, and the family were about to board it, the deputy sheriff stepped off and placed the girl under arrest.
This morning, according to States Attorney Englert, the girl explained that they were going to their former home in South Dakota, by way of Fargo. Later the Father stated that they had intended to go only as far as Fargo, and explained they did not go from Valley City for fear it might be thought they were leaving for good.

YOUTH PUTS DYNAMITE IN OVEN AND WRECKS THE HOUSE
Mandan, N. D., Dec. 27.—James Ellis, aged 18, placed two sticks of dynamite in the oven of the kitchen stove at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ellis of New Salem, to thaw them out. The residence was almost entirely demolished with the resulting explosions, and young Ellis, who had just cleared the outer door by a few feet, was thrown to the ground but not injured. There was no one in the house at the time. The dynamite was being used in blasting coal, and had failed to go off.

Body Cut To Pieces.
Montana papers give details of a railroad accident near Summit of which the victim was Oscar Funtz of Spokane. A crew was engaged in cleaning out cuts and, the weather being intensely cold, the fan constantly froze and clogged. Funtz went up to the plow to clean out the knives. While thus engaged steam was turned on and the train went ahead, but Funtz did not return to the cab. The engineer found that he had been caught in the machinery and thrown into the knife which cut and slashed his body into strips, which wound themselves around the knives, and made a mass of gore and flesh, which rapidly froze and stopped the working of the rotary. The crew tried to remove the terrible mess, but had to give it up, and the snow plow with its ghastly contents, was run to Kalispel {sp}, where it was thawed out by steam.
Funtz was 23 years of age, unmarried and had recently taken out a life insurance policy in favor of his widowed mother.
