About a month ago a soldier at
Fort Yates named Macanerly, having received his pay and procured his monthly supply of the joyful, thought he would gain fame and notoriety by swimming the Missouri, starting from a point near the fort. He was not seen or heard of again until a few days ago, when his body was found on a sand bar about four miles below the post. The body had evidently been out of the water for some time, as the head, hands, and feet had been eaten by the coyotes.—Bismarck Tribune.

The one year old son of Jake Drauch, near
Midway, N. D., was killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of the little son's uncle, who came to the house to get the gun to kill a hawk. The entire charge struck the babe's leg and tore it completely off.

John Murphy, one of the feeders on Wm. McArthur's separator, met with the loss of his right hand this week. While feeding the machine he thrust his hand far enough into the cylinder to come in contact with the same, when the member was horribly mangled. Dr. Countryman found no part of the hand could be saved, so amputated the same at the wrist. Murphy is a middle-aged man and a stranger in these parts, his home being in Tennessee.—
