BISMARCK HAS REAL SLEEPING SICKNESS CASE Attack-of Malady Suffered by R. W. Booton, Prayeling Audi- tor, Said to Be Typical HAS SLEPT FOR FOUR DAY: Bismarck has a typical case of the sleeping disease now more or les prevajent in America. It so been diagnosed by four Bismarck physi- cans, and the malady seems to be tak- ing the course common in all of these; eases. The victim is R. W. Booton,| 221 Eighth street, a traveling auditor) for the Northern Pacific. He has been} asleep and practicallY unconscious since last Saturday. The sleeping | sickness has been slowly coming on, however, for more than a month. Mr. Booton is a man of 33, is mar- ried and has a family. four! About weeks ago an abscess appeared on one| eye. This was lanced and the opera-| tion was followed by a very severe headache, Then a slow-creeping leth- argy developed. Each day the sut- férer appeared to grow a trifle duller, his perceptions became a trifle less keen, and he was more and more prone to drowse when opportunity of- fered. ‘A week ago today Mr. Booton walk ed from his_home to the Northern Pa-} elfic station and bac When hi reached home again he sank onto his bed exhausted, and from that moment to this he has, except for an occasion- al moment of wakefulness, been lost in.a dead sleep. He appears unable.to recoznize Mrs. Booton and other| members of the family. He is in no pain. He merely cannot resist an in- clination to sleep. , “The case appears to be very typ- ical of” other cases of sleeping sick- n@ss as We have seen them described,” said the physician in attendance to- day. “The trend of the disease seems| to be following the normal course of these cases,” Cleaning Up, Plowing or remov- ing rubbish, call Wachter,:Phone WANTED—Chamber maid at Grand Pacifié Hotel. 4-18-tf RY BEING, ‘CASH 1ER TOT OR A NEWSIE FOR A” iF REST YOU 6 “T WONDER CouLD INT ~_ Much smoother t (Second Instalment.) We passed on through the village in the direction of our objective, but none too soon; the Germans began pouring shells into the village, think- ing we had taken up permanent resi- dence phere.

I counted elev- B en of them out of commission. As we neared tht shell-torn road we were swept by machine-gun fire again and ain. Sudde one of our sergeants raised his and fired into the branches of a large tree on the other side of the road. At the creck of the rifle down came a German machine gunner with a crash, his comouflaged helmet rolling to the middle of the road. We examined the location. Jerry had taken an old cellar door up into the tree for a platform for his light machine gun and, disguised | it with branches. He had a deadly fire on the road and got many of our boys .as they thied to cross. This road had proven fatal to the Germans also; it literally strewn. with dead Germe where they had. been caught in our barrage while retreating down it. We now established a line, using an old German trench, which we repaired. We remained here the rést of the day, . We ate our reserve drank the last’of the One of our airplanes came over, flying low, and shot a rocket of three stars, meaning “where are you?” We all arose and waved our rifles; he answered with a single star, “under- stood,” and back he went to inform the artillery. There was no further infantry action that day, although the big guns kept hammering away «i each other most of the time. We kept concealed as much as possibie.’ The men of the automatic rifle squ: had shot away most of their ammunition. These rifles were of French make, and shot only French ammunition. There swere several German light machine guns lying about with plenty of am- munition and the boys gathered them up and soon mastered the operation of them, and used them later, too. That night, those of our officers safe, stranghtened us out as best they could, getting us back to our proper company and distributing ug, evenly along the line. We'kept @ patrol out in front to prevent a surprise by the enemy. A while before daylight the word was passed down the line to be in on the posts; the Germans were coming. The fog had not yet lifted, but. we-could dimly see the gray uni- formed Germans’ coming up a ravine.| We opened on them with rifle and ma- chine-gun fire; “their own machine guns. They gould not face it, but broke and run. We looked aqone an- rations ail Seat other and grinned. After a féw min- utes we started over, but. were met with such a galling machine-gun ‘fire were falling fast, it was simply sui- cide to stand up, so we were ordered to lie down.

French troops ‘came to our support*and we hung out till morning. We-thdh pushed on till farther’ protected by a heavy ‘bar- rage, the Germans shelled us some but with few losses-to us. A piece of shell cut through my cartridge belt but did not touch flesh. We kept on through a wooded ravine and. dug in as soon as we came to open ground on the side nearest the Germans. There was a railway embankment between the enemy and us and we were sheltered. from the shell-fire they, sent over, as loug;as we stayed down. There was a small creek;which ran through th paving where one could fi Snes: citikéen“at-the risk of beig “humped off” as it was exposed to the enemy fire The Germans knew that we were in-ther and kept shelling us.

Aj lieutenant’ a few feet from us was go- ing down into the earth Wike a ‘bad- ger; the tresh earth from the digging showed much more than ours, but he stopped digging long enough to say: “You fellows must- camouflage ghat fresh dirt.” I answered, “yes sir,” as I had learned by experience not to argue with an officer. We cut some branches with our bayonets and cov- ered the fresh dirt and also covered our dugout. There was just room for the two of us to sit in our new home and we felt pretty safe, and compli- mented each other on our good work, although every time a shell would strike om;the railway the dirt would rate down the bank and into ‘our dugout..and down. the back of our necks, = The German jators soon got ‘busy. dropping hom’ Thesé looked like baseballs when seen from a distance, but they tore things up when tney struck.

In that ravine, with a steep bank,on eith- er side the noise was deafening. I held my hands over my ears ‘to’ relieve them. Tais heavy fire was kept ‘up all the rest of the day. There were at least half a dozen enemy planes cir- cling over us all the time, dropping their loads of bombs and goihg ‘back for more. My réom mate and I stuck close to home, you* may well believe. A piece of shrapnel came whizzing into our house and ‘buried itself inj the sand. My room mate picked it up, ‘but he dropped it mighty suddexly— it was almost red hot.. The trag- ment ‘struck the bank right “between us, and thy partner bawled ‘be out for not selecting. a safer place. From the door of the dugout we could see some men removing the wounded from the trees and carrying them to a safe place near the bank where the shells could not strike. They would dart into the wood-and come back with a, wounded man, or sometimes two men would bring in a fellow who had been hurt in the leg: they would have the wounded man be- tween them and run as fast as tuey could, the poor fellow hopping along as best he could onyhis good: leg.
