Managing Editor Brewer of The

hunting trip down the Mississippi river.
He joined a houseboat party at Cairo,

number of deer, ducks, geese, wild tur

JUST SUSSED DEATH
Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 7.—H. K.
Geisi had a narrow escape yesterday
aftornoon on North Third street when
the big team of horses owned by the
Hotel Dacotah literally ran him down
as he was driving his automobile
truck. Mr. Gelst steered his machine
into hydrant in an effort to get out of
the way of the horses which by that
time had become Infuriated with pain
and, was thrown out of the automobile.
He struck on his shoulder and side.
Fortunately he suffered no more se
rious injuries than a severe shaking
up.
The accident was one of the
strangest that has happened in Grand
Forks for some time. Mr. Geist was
driving the automobile truck owned by
the company of which he is the head
and was coming south on Third street.
The truck is provided with the usual
box similar to that on a delivery
wagon. As he cama up the street Mr.
Gelst noticed the team of black horses
hitched to a delivery sled standing in
front of a house several doors north
of the woolen mills. Approaching
closer he noticed the horses and at the
same time his attention was called io
the fact that the horses were nervous.
Accordingly he slowed clown his ma
chine until he passed them and then
increased' his speed. What was his
horror to glance around a moment
later and see that the horses had
turned and were running wild almost
up to the* automobile. The heavy
hitching weight did not interfere with
their inclination to run and they came
on with increased speed. One of the
horses was on the rear truck when
Mr. Geist tried to turn in on the side
walk to escape. He struck a hydrant,
was thrown forward and scrambled
out of the way.
When he turned to look, both horses
were on top of the delivery tryck and
one of them had fallen in such a way
that the team could make no further
progress. A crowd T)f men quickly
gathered and the horses were extricat
ed. One of the horses was badly hurt
as a result of the runaway.
The automobile truck presents a
strange appearance. The box waa
practically converted into kindling
wood and only the gas tank and steer
ing apparatus Is left, in speaking of
the accident Mr. Geist said that he
was confident that the only thing that
saved him from death or at least se
rious injury was the hydrant. The
shock of hitting the obstruction lit
erally threw him out of the way of
the infuriated horses. The team *i» a
splendid pair of big blacks and had
never before »hown a# inclination to
run away.

MAC FLAQG FORMERUV OF MA
PLETON 18 SUPPOSED TO HAVE
PERISHED IN CANADIAN BLIZ­
ZARD CANADIAN MOUNTED
POLICE 8COURED COUNTRY.
a' Casu ©two ftffy who
resided with his parents at Mapleton
up to a year ago, and then left his
home with Henry Lang and two Waid
ruff brothers to take up claims near
Gull Lake, Alberta, is missing. It is
feared by his friends that he lost his
life in a blizzard, that while making
a trip over to his friends' cabin, he
lost his way and fell into a gulch and
was snowed under.
Flagg's homestead adjoined that of
Lang's and about three weeks ago.
Lang secured Flagg to take care of
Lang's cattle and homestea4 while he
rode sixty miles to town to get mar
ried. Lang left the place in the care
of Flagg and was gone three days.
When he returned he found that his
cattle and chickens were almost
starved and were suffering from the
cold. Lang then made a hurried trip
over to Flagg's cabin but no traoe of
Flagg could be found.
The Canadian mounted police to*
get her with the inhabitants of that
district have searched the surrounding
country for three weeks without re
sults. It is the belief of the police
authorities of that country that Flag*
lost his way while making a trip
from his home over to Lang's place
and waa caught in a blizzard and
perished.
Quiches are numerous in that coun
try said are from thirty to seventy
feet deep and usually filled with snow.
3t is the belief of the police that he
fell into one of these gulches.

ON TRIAL TODAY
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO AID PR08ECUTI0N OF
0LENVILLE RIOT 8UIT8.
Albert Lea, Minn., Fob. 7.—District
court convened here yesterday. The
actions that arouse the most interest
are what are known as the Glenvllle
riot cases, which originated when sev
eral men seized Dr. J. P. Freemen,
threw him to the ground as h© was
leaving his drugstore In the village
of Glenvllle, and rubbed tar in his hair
and poured It over his face and body.
Inflicting such Injuries that he was
under the care of a physician several
days. This caused much exci^ment in
the village of Ulenville, an^i It has not
yet subsided.
Dr. Freeman is here to give evidence
against his alleged persecutors, while
a large crowd is attending court in
order to hear the trial of the cases.
The case against Frank Flusek.
who was indicted as .one of the mob.
is the first, as that w«s the action
tried before when the jury disagreed.
Many thought the disagreement would
end all the trials, but County Attor
ney Peterson has secured the assist
ance of Assistant Attorney General
Janes and will make a stronger elfort
than before to convict.
There are eleven of the defendants,
and it is understood if they are con
victed Dr. Freeman will begin civil
action against them to recover for
damages to his business, as well as
the indignity and injuries he suffered.
