Dickinson.—"Mutt," an Airedale puppy belonging to little Vivian Lavine, rushed as if to rescue her when he saw her about to be caught under a pile of falling railroad ties. The child, apparently warned out of the way, jumped in time to save herself but the dog was caught and crushed.

BOY INJURED IN WINDMILL
Young Son of Rolette Farmer Climbed Tower, and Got Clothing in Machinery.
Rolette, N. D., Sept. 10.—The young son of Mr. and Mrs. August Schultz, living two miles north of this city, met with a very serious accident that might easily have proven fatal, when he climbed into the tower of the windmill and his clothing became twisted in the machinery.
On the windmill the pump shaft revolves, instead of working up and down as others do, and while standing with a foot on each side of the shaft, the lad's clothing became twisted around the shaft. His hold was loosened from the frame and he was whirling around within the frame of the tower with such force that, when a sudden gust of wind would come, his head and upper part of his body would strike the heavy timberwork of the frame.
His screams, as he realized the deadly shaft was breaking his grip on the framework, quickly brought him aid, but not before he had been seriously injured. In being whirled around his head struck the heavy timbers of the tower and his skull was fractured, besides numerous other cuts and bruises about the head and face.

LAKOTA WOMAN AWARDED SUM.
Lakota, N. D., Aug. 2.— The last case to be tried in the term of district court just closed in Nelson county, was that of Susie Pickle vs. John Anton. The plaintiff, suing for $20,000 damages for breach of promise, was awarded $5,780.
The plaintiff alleged that she had kept house for the defendant for several years on his farm, and that a marriage agreement had been entered into some weeks ago. It happened, however, that last March Mr. Anton had met and suddenly married another woman, a certain Miss Ella Minden.
The jury arrived at a verdict in a very short time.

JOHN ANTON'S AFFAIR WITH MISS PICKLE EXPENSIVE VARIETY
Devils Lake, N. D., April 2.—It has thus far cost John Anton of Dallon, {sp} Nelson county $12,000 for discarding the sweet affection of one Miss Pickle now of Walsh county but formerly Anton's housekeeper. A jury in Lakota last week gave Miss Pickle a verdict of $6,000 in her suit against Anton for false imprisonment. Two years ago Miss Pickle collected $6,000 from Anton after she sued him for breach of promise.
Miss Pickle came to Anton as a housekeeper. They became engaged to be married, but later Anton married someone else and had Miss Pickle confined in jail as being insane. She spent about six days in jail, and was released after the Insanity commission found that there was nothing the matter with her mind. She sued Anton for $15,000 on the breach of promise suit and another $15,000 on the false imprisonment complaint, collecting on the two $12,000. Fred C. Cuthbert was Miss Pickle's attorney in both cases and Tracey Bangs of Grand Forks appeared for Anton.
