BOY STRUCK BY AN AUTO
|FIVE-YEAR-O CARL SANDELL
SERIOUSLY INJURED IN ACCI-
DENT ON REDWOOD PARKWAY.

Carl Sandell, a 5-year-old boy whose
nome is in Amery, Wis, is in Asbury
hospital in a serious condition from
injuries received last night when he
was struck by an automobile on Ken
wood parkway. The physicians have
not yet determined whether or not his
skull is fractured.
The little boy, who was visiting at
the home Of Carl Sabel, 1905 Kenwood
parkway, was standing in the street
with number Of playmates. The big
auto came around the corner just as
the lad unexpectedly started to run
across the street. He struck the side
lamp Of the machine and was thrown
violently to the ground.
The chauffeur did not stop, but
little later Theodore Anderson 1854
Bloomington avenue, went to police
headquarters and gave himself up,
saying that he was driving the ma
chine at the time of the accident.
To-day the boy Is resting easily
and the hospital authorities expect
him to recover.
After staying in Central station all
night Anderson was brought into
court this morning and discharged,
no complaint having been made
against him.

w AS IT A ST. PAUL AUTO?
POLICE DISCOVER A PROMISING
CLUE IN THE WALL AUTONIO-
BILE MYSTERY.

What seems to be a promising clue
is being investigated by detectives who
are trying to discover what chauffeur
ran down Deputy Sheriff Wall early
yesterday morning. All day yesterday
a disabled Rambler automobile, bear
ing the number 10, stood on Calhoun
boulevard near the wreckage of
Wallis buggy. 1t broke down on
Thursday evening and was not re-
moved till after dark last night. The
police are inclined to believe that the
repair shop men who came with a
large heavy car to haul away the dis
abled rig, might tell something Of the
accident.
The number of the disabled ma
chine indicates that it's owner carries
a st. Paul license. The police believe
that repair crew was sent up from
st. Paul for 1t the same night, and
that if it was this party which was
responsible for the accident, they
quietly returned to ST. Paul. When the
machine was finally removed the
chauffeur in charge seemed to take
pains to conceal his identity.
Meantime all the garages in Mime
apolis have been carefully inspected
by detectives, looking for broken
nosed automobile.

Twin City Commercial Clubs Wan
University Avenue Improved.

That University avenue should be
paved and boulevarded from the
paved district of Minneapolis to the
paved district in St. Paul was the
unanimous opinion of the joint COM

two cities, which met last evening in ST.
Paul. 1t was admitted that wide, we'll
paved traffic street between the two
cities was essential and as University
avenue was the shortest direct thoro-
fare, the cities should concentrate
their energies to improving it toward
the common boundary line.
It is wide enough for street cars,
business traffic and pleasure driving
and should be made splendid high
way without delay. Trees should be
planted along the whole course and
efforts made to make it attractive in
appearance AS we'll as a good high
way No definite action was taken,
however. -.a

Mr.. Chaplain Resigns.

At the meeting Of the Board of Di-
rectors ofthe First National Bank, held
on Monday last, Mr.. a. G.. Chapman,
cashier, presented his resignation which
was laid on the table until the next
meeting for consideration.
Mr.. Claphamis determination was
heard with great surprise and regret.
During the three years Of the First
Nationals business here, MI. Clap
ham has Snowman unflagging interest
in and distinctly marked ability for the
important dutles Of Cashier until to-
day the wonderful adyahcement Of
that institution IS the marvel Of all.
Our people generally will regret tn
learn Of Mr.. Clapham's decision TO re-
move from their midst. He will go to
Washington, a broader field wherein
the opportunities for the work for
which he is 80 peculiarly fitted, will be
greater. Farmville is 10th to lose such
a business man, and while there will
no doubt be found a successor faithful,
true and capable. the departing cash
ier's place will be hard to fiji by an
equal for securing results in the same
quiet, firm and agreeable manner as
that which characterized the daily
work Of Mr.. Chaplain.

Cameron,s Withdrawal.

An unexpected turn was gwen TO the
fourth district political situation last
Monday when Governor Cameron
withdrew from the race for Congress
man at Boydton. Ii had been ar
ranged for Hon. X. G. Southall and
Gov. Cameron to have a joint discuss
ion at that point, and an eager crowd
had gathered to hear the two gentle
men.
At the opening Of the meeting Cover
nor Cameron arose and announced his
determination to withdraw from the
contest, assigning a. a cause feeble
health and lack Of physical strength to
conduct through the period Of ten
weeks which yet remained before the
holding Of the primary, the kind Of
canvass which would be needed for a
successful organization ofhis following.
He further said that the sort Of canvass
needed to secure success against the
methods Of opposition pursued by his
critics would inevitably lead to a bit
terness in the ranks Of the party, Of
which he was unwilling to be the cause,
however innocently, in a presidential
year Of vital issues, when the rights
and interests Of his people demanded
DemOcsatic unity.
In the delivery Of these remarks the
Governor exhibited great feebleness
and at times was apparently on the
verge Of a physical collapse. tits said
that after the trip to Lunenburg, with
a ride Of fifty miles ove very rough
roads, he was utterly Frustrated for four
days. In this state Of things the with
drawal Of his candidacy was simply
unavoidable.
A Joint discussion occurred between
Mr.. Southall and Judge Yarrell. 1t
was opened by Mr.. Southall, who
charged that Judge Yarrell resided in
Washington. d. G., and was not a
citizen Of Virginia. Judge Yarrell re-
torted by saying that before Mr.. South
all spoke it was his intention to follow
Gov. Cameron'sexample and retire from
the contest, but that Mr.. Southalls
remarks had caused him to change his
mind, that he should remain in the
fight and give his opponent pretty con
elusive proof now, as heretofore, he is
a citizen Of Virginia.
