HURLED TO DEATH YOUNG MEN BUSY
Fred Ware Instantly Killed In An
Automobile Accident
HIS FAMILY ESCAPES
Machine, While Running Twenty
Miles An Hour, Turns Turtle and
Mans Neck Is Broken

Fred Ware of Clark, S. D., wa:
instantly killed Sunday afternoon
about O'Clock, near st. Martin, this
county, in an automobile accident.
Mr.. Ware, accompanied by his wife
and three little daughters, was or
his way to Minneapolis when the
fatal accident occurred. They arrived
in Sank Centre Saturday night and
staid over night at the Palmer House
Sunday morning, a little after
O'Clock, they started on their way to
Minneapolis. A rain storm came up
and they returned, as some supposed
on account of the rain, but really
owing to some battery trouble. Mr..
Ware had the trouble remedied and
about 1880 took another start.
Before leaving Sank Centre r. L..
Palmer gave him directions as to the
road to st. Cloud, advising him to 60
through Melrose and follow the route
OF the railroad. Mr.. Ware either got
off the road or else took advice from
others to make detour to the south
and go through St. Martin.
1t appears that when a mile and a
half south of the village Of St. Martin,
at the farm of George Weier, while
running down a hill and approaching
small bridge, the machine suddenly
swerved, ran into ditch and turned
turtle. Mr.. Ware was pinne, under
the seat and his neck was broken by
the fail. Mrs. Ware and har three
young daughters were hurled through
the air some distance but sustained nc
injuries further than shaking up.
Mrs. Ware tried to help her husband
but he was pinned under the machine
and she was compelled to walk to Mr..
Weier's house. Mr.. Weier and
Bernard Nordmann went with her to
the scene OF the accident. When they
arrived they found p. A. n. Nreyans
vice president of the State Bank of
Richmond, and William Moening
cashier, at the spot. The four men
working together finally turned the
machine over, but Mr.. Ware was dead.
His neck was broken and death was
probably instantaneous.
The body was taken to St. Martin
and prepared for burial. Monday
morning it was taken to Paynes-
vile and sent to Clark, the home of
ths deceased. Mrs. Ware was we'll
nigh flantic over her loss.
1t is not known what caused the
accident. Mrs. Ware says they were
running down grade about twenty
miles an hour, when the machine
gave a jump and ran down the turn
pike some five or six feet, and turned
over. Something may have been the
matter with the steering apparatus.
Mr.. Ware was a prominent banker
in his home town and brother of J.
E. Ware, cashier in an East Mime
apolis bank. The latter was informed
by wire of the accident and arrived at
St. Martin Sunday evening to take |
charge of the remains.
The three young daughters of the
deceased were beautiful children and |
attention at the Palmer
House. When the party left here
Sunday morning the trio sat in the
rear seat of the big auto, happy and |
smiling, one of them carrying a
large doll. All were in good spirits
Is Mr.. Ware drove away, little think
ing that in few hours his life would
suddenly be blotted out.

Quite a number are now wearing

Friday evening, Sept. -, eight
young men net at The Herald office
and voted to organize a Baraca Bible
class, signing an agreement to that
effect. They then completed a partial
organization by electing A. F. Strebel
president, F. z. Quist secretary, and
A. NJ. Welles teacher. 1t was voted to
hold the first regular meeting at the
Congregational church at IL O'Clock
on Sunday, Sept. %, to complete the
! organization and get ready for regular
class work. On the latter date IA
men were present.
The printed constitution provided
by the National Baraca organization
was adopted with few amendments
and the list of officers was completed
as follows: A. J. Hartley, vice presi-
dent: Glen Cooper, assistant secretary;
Everett AIcGibbon, treasurer: Albert
Bishop, librarian; Paul Fish, press
reporter.
The choice for assistant teacher
fell on DIR. Henneman, and that
gentleman signified his willingness to
accep: the office.
As the organization is undenomina-
tional the class will alternate in meet
ing at the different churches. The
schedule for meetings at present pro-
vides that during the remainder of
September and all of October the
class will meet at the ngregational
church, at the Methodist church in
November and at the Episcopal church
in December The hour of meeting
is from II to 1 each Sunday.
The class is planning to organize
male quartet, an orchestra, a debat-
ing club, social entertainments and |
possibly will enter the athletic arena
next summer. These things, how
ever, are all "side issues" systematic
bible study being the prime object OF
the organization. A number of men
In addition to those who attended on
Sunday, will come into the class. All
young men Is years old are eligible.
Baraca is an international organiza-
tim, enrolling in its membership
over 100000 young men. 1t had it's
origin in Syracuse, N. Y, where
Marshall A. Hudson, a busy BUSH
ness man, thought the plan good
one to adopt for his bible class. The
idea spread until it has reached it's
present proportions. There are
Baraca bible classes in nearly every
state in the union, and in the
British Provinces.
The Baraca Union of America
holds an annual convention at which
notes are compared, reports from the
states received, officers chosen for the
coming year, and other necessary
business transacted. The World
Wide Baraca, monthly paper, is the
organ of the organization. 1t is a
bright, breezy paper and contains
matters of interest to all Baraca

The central idea of the Baraca Or
yanization is to get young men to
work for each other. Each class has
officers of its own, elected semi-an-
nually. The president presides at all
sessions of the class. There are
committees appointed to

oH1o's BRONZE PERcHERoN.

[Bronze figure of Percheron horse lately
presented to the Ohio State university
by the Societe Hippique Percheronne of
France. The gift was made in recogni-
ton of the part Ohio men have played
for over half century in importing
Percherons to America. Since the day
when the great stallion Louis Napoleon
was brought to Ohio in 1851 citizens of
this state have led as importers and
producers of this valuable breed. The
figure has a total height of twenty-five
inches and is representative of a perfect
Percheron horse.l
that will develop into good drafters.
He takes pride in his horses; he. loves
them. 1t seems to come natural to
him. He takes good care of the brood
mare, works her and feeds her care
fully, and here lies one of the main
factors that has brought the breed to
the high degree of perfection which it
holds today. When the colts are about
eighteen months old he assigns them to
some light work. They are hardy
and soon become accustomed to it and
enjoy it. They are abundantly fed,
and with this exercise they acquire a
strong, healthy condition.
The Percheron has been bred in this
district for many centuries. In 1882,
when the French defeated the Sara
Gems, they captured their horses and
brought them to their country, and to
these historic Arabian horses, so noted
for their superior symmetry. quality
and intelligence, the modern Percheron
owes it's origin. The use of these beau

Yorkshire boars get over 70 per cent
white pigs, which speaks well for their
breeding propensities. The Yorkshires

tried them to make great breeders and

Light Hogs Leave the Pedestal.
Hog market antics have been amaz-.
ty-four hours in advance is well nigh
impossible. Just what packers mean
is hard to divine. One day they want
nothing but light hogs; the following
session finds them clamorous for cheap
stuff. One thing is certain-light hogs
are about to leave the pedestal, and
within a short time the premium WI
be awarded to medium weight bar
rows, 22O to 260 pounds, barrows that
now cut but little figure in the move
ment. Light hogs have had their day.
Eastern growers are cutting them loose
freely. and a big crop of spring pigs
is coming along in the west. Old corn
being scarce, new grain will be used
to force them, and cholera scares will
send them at light weight to the stock
yards by the thousand. Already the
yards have been flooded by sixty to sew
enty pound pigs that were sacrificed for
no other reason than fear of mortality.
If the big run of sows which has been
in progress for several months past
should suddenly stop, weighty hogs
would sell much higher, concludes the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
Less Quality, More Hog.
During the last few weeks we have
given considerable attention to the
study of the swine exhibited at sew.
eral state fairs in the great central
west. We observed closely the kind OF
hogs that carried away the premiums,
and we also took some pains to inquire
into the type of hog which was most
keenly in demand, says Iowa Home
stead. The demand that comes from
the average farmer who is looking for
pure bred males to use on grade herds
is for hog that shows little more
ruggedness, rather greater length and
with heavier bone than those that
have been winning at some of our fairs.
We found that men who had for sale
rather large, growthy young stuff were
disposing of their surplus much more
rapidly than those who We're offering
hogs of the finer type. When you go
with your refinement beyond certain
point you are bound to injure the pro-
life qualities of your foundation stock,
and that is why the rather larger,
coarser type is so popular with the
farmer trade.
