LIGNITE IS PLENTY
Prof. Leonard of the Unlve rsity
Finds Abundance of 9oa*
In Billings County
Grand Forks, Aug. 21.—Dr. A. G.
Leonard, who has had charge of a United
States geological survey party in Hillings
county the past two months, is home for a
few days. The party has been making a
detailed study of the coal beds in an area
lying north and south of the Northern
Pacific railroad, the strip of territory cov
ered being twenty-four miles wide and ex
tending west from Medora to the Montana
line. The lignite seams were found to be
much more extensive than formerly sup
posed. some being traced twelve to fifteen
miles and more.
Dr. Leonard will return this week to
the western part of the state to continue
the work for another month in Billings
county. He will take two university stu
dents with him, Jay Bliss and W. J. Smith.

PETER CHRISTEN KILLED.
We learn of a double tragedy occurring
at South Heart Tuesday afternoon. Peter
Christen, of Sparta, Wis., who was well
known to many Beach residents met his
death there at about 2 p. m. He was re
turning on a freight from Diflcipson where
he had been to close up a land deal. An
engine was sent after a couple of cars that
were moving down the track and it is thot
that he was standing on the platform of
the caboose and. being unable to see the
approaching engine, was not prepared for
the bunt the cars received when the coup
ling was attempted. He was thrown oft
the platform beneath the wheels of the
cattle car and at least one pair of trucks
passed over his breast, death being instan
taneous.
M. Teal, head brakeman on the above
mentioned freight, was thrown from the
top of a car to the ground and seriously
injured. He has been taken to a hospital
at Brainerd.

caught out in a hard rain and the measles
settled in my stomach and bowles. I had
an awful time and had it not been for the
use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and

lived but a few hours longer, but thanks
this remedy. I am now strong and well

Mrs. R. Pickering has had a large fam
ily monument erected on her lot in the
cemetery, and a foot stone has also been
placed at the foot of each grave. The
monument is a beautiful one and very large

band and four children.
Suit has been started in Billings county
to correct an error in the title of lots re
cently sold to the county for court house
purposes. It seems that an error was
made in the description of lots when W.
T. Denniston transferred the property in
question to Mrs. J. S. Snyder, and, as he
does not seem willing at this time to exe
cute a duplicate deed, the matter will be
taken into the courts. The Snyders will
of course see that the title to the new
court house property is straightened out
and for this purpose have retained Attor
ney L. A. Simpson. —Press.
