BRADDOCK BREVITIES.

Shipments of water-melons through

make one's mouth water.
It would seem to lie about the time
of year to do something to better the
condition of the roads leading into
Braddock.
Prof, C. A. Moorman has disposed
of his homestead southeast of Brad
dock to Fred Heath, local agent for
the Merrick Lumlier Company.
Word has come from the Bismarck
hospital that owing to the extreme
heat the condition of S. E. Coover is
some worse, and his daughter, Mrs.
Fred Oberg, is at his bedside.
Owing to the dry weather, the
promoters of the farmers' elevator
are letting the matter rest for the
present. It may or may not be built
this year, but the matter will not be
entirely abandoned.
Farmers from different sections of
the district put various estimates on
the crop, but it is safe to predict that
the general average will lie about two
thirdffof a normal yield. However,
the thrashing-machine will tell the
story.
.1. G. .Jagd has rctuned from an ex
tended trip east along lie Soo, down
Merricourt way. He reports the crop
there generally good, which informa
tion brings to mind the fact that
last year that saine district was where
the five-bushels-per-acre people lived.
This office is officially notified that
the Independent Telephone Company
has completed its line and made con
nections with McKenzie, and that
it's time to "dig up" for live shares of
the company's stock. Poor fellows:
they'l have to wait till we thrash
our flax.
According to its size more farmers'
teams regularly visit Braddock than
any other town in the state, and the
luestion of hitching-room on Mitchell
street especially on busy days, is a
serious one. The expense of providing
hitching-posts or bars would be a
small item, and they should tie pro
vided.
The steel-range peddlers are mak
ing their headijuai tcis at Braddock
just now, and we are told the gold
brick artists are doing considerable
business. It is about the thinnest
Montgomery Ward Co. game pos
sible to imagine. The inducement
they have to offer is the time they
give on their goids, and, when you
considerthat the obligation must lie
liquidated some time, with added in
terest, that is really no inducement,
and, any how, your local dealer usually
extends credit. The peddler sells you
a cheap, inferior article, which, like
the Yankee's razor, "is made to sell."

SAVED BY MOTHER.
Dickinson Woman Makes Wonder
ful Rescue of Child Prom
A Well.
Dickinson Post: Death was robbed
of a victim Wednesday morning l.y a
narrow margin only through the hero
ism of a inot her, rs. Joseph Peters,
wife of a Northern Pacific employ e,
who in some iiiyst rious manner
which she cannot explain, owing to
tfie high tension at, which her nerves
were strung at lie time of the inci
dent, rescued her three-year-old son
from drowing in the well at the rear
of the Peters' south side home
The little boy, while playing i.ear
the well, fell in. Mrs. Petes wasdis
tracted for a few moments, but re
gained her presence of mind in time
to rii-.li to the bnnk of the well and
call W Ihe lil' le fellow to hold to
the bucket, which, suspended from
the windlass, was floating on the
water. The child did ,but, the
mother was unable to draw him to the
surface. S 'veral times she succeeded
in raising him hall way, but in every
case he weakened and fell back into
h- *ater. Whit follows Mis. Peters
declares s'le cannot rem-mb'.!r. except
hat somehow she got lie child and
with him in iier arms made her way
to tlie top. Inasmuch as the well is
walleij with stones that offer no hold
whatever, the most plausible explaria
tion for the esctpe of the mother
mil hahe, according to neighbors, is
that Mrs. Peters descended and as
cended by the windlMs rope.

Natural ia» in Ward County.
A Minot dispatch of Aug. Hth, says:
According to Mohall people in the
city to-day, another big gas find lias
been made in the viciuity of that town,
and lie conclusion reached by gas ex
perts some tIme ago that gas underlies
this whole territory is almost con
firmed.
On the farm of L. P. Stromswold,
while sinking an artesian well, twen
ty-five pound pressure natural gas was
discovered at a depth of 200 feet, and
tiie flame at the top of he pipe, when
lighted, measured nearly three feet.
On the farm of Fred Dietes, near
by, another gas well was found at
about the same dept h, and the people
of Mohall arc having visions of sudden
increased prosperity and au intfux of
capital to develop the fields.
