Dog Jumps—Girl Falls on Glass.
J. V. Thompkins' dog which was tied back of his home jumped playfully at the little three-year old Baby Dollen, of Granville, Sunday afternoon. The little girl fell and struck her forehead on a piece of glass cutting a bad gash in it. Dr. Crokat dressed the wound. The little girl was visiting at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Nic Rustad and got in too close proximity to the dog.

A trio of friends—W. V. Wade, P. Brickley and W. McIntyre—soon after rising yesterday morning, proceeded to each take an eye opener and as 'chasers' they asked to be given seltzer water. Among the bar bottles was a soda water bottle containing ammonia which had been obtained for cleaning windows, and the bartender, ignorant of its having been put there, poured out ammonia in place of soda water. The men tossed off their drinks and the 'chasers' followed. In a moment there were loud calls for doctors and antidotes. Mr. Wade and Mr. Brickley swallowed but little of the stuff and they are not much worse for their experience, but Mr. McIntyre's mouth and throat were badly injured. He is in charge of Dr. Brown who considers his case rather serious.

AGED WOMAN IS FATALLY SHOT

A 5-year-old grandson came in and laid a shotgun on the couch. The small boy got off his grandmother's lap, walked over to the gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.
Mrs. Nelson was brought to a Jamestown hospital, and Dr. Holt performed an operation in an effort to save her life, but she died Thursday evening. Her intestines had been penetrated by the shot. Funeral will be in Crosby.

KENMARE LIGHT PLANT BURNED
City will be in Darkness for two Months—Fire Started Mysteriously—Did the Same Parties who Slugged Manager Amsler, Fire the Plant?
Kenmare's electric light plant was burned Sunday morning at half past nine o'clock. The fire started mysteriously, all of the employes {sp} being away from the plant, which is located at the entrance of the Diamond coal mine a distance east from the town. The firemen had no chance to save the plant as the water works do not extend so far out.
In consequence of the fire, Kenmare will be in the dark for a couple of months, the worst in the year for holdups and darkness generally. The plant will be immediately rebuilt. A box car near the plant was burned, as was also the lodging house. A fierce wind was blowing which endangered the mine.
Three weeks before, the manager of the plant, Frank Amsler, was slugged by parties unknown. Perhaps the same parties set fire to the plant.
