WITH SERIOUS AOOIDEMT
A distressing accident occur
red at the OermanLutheran school
south of Lidgerwood, the fore
part of the week, by which a son
of Fred Hoefs will lose the sight
of one eye. Young Hoefs, in com
pany with Herman Franz's son
and a Kachman boy, were playing
in the building when one of them
produced a rifle cartridge and
placed it in the stove. The Hoefs
boy remonstrated-with his play

that were made sport of by the
others. That his fear was welljous stock farm in Northern Rich

"Numerous young girls from
14 to 17 years of age, are declared
to have been enticed and encourag
ed to enter dens of vice, for the
paltry sums of money which they
©ould give to the proprietors. The
^jnditions were made known in
preliminary statements in the
state press early in September, in
connection with the arrest of two
men at Harvey, N. D., charged
with traveling over the state, tax
ing money from the earnings of
two young women. It is hoped
that the revelations made ih court
in this case will at least have the
effect of temporarily closing out
some of the vice ridden resorts
along the Red river, that boundary
line between Minnesota saloons
and North Dakota towns, which
has become notorious for many
crimes and the assemblage of
vicious characters on both sides
of thp stream.'
