FOUR KILLED
IN AUTO
WRECK
We're Prominent Members
of Order Of ElkS and Had
Been at Club.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, Sept.
ia powerful racing automobile, oc-
cupied by seven prominent Elks and q
chauffeur, and built to hold but three
passengers, while running at terrific
rate, crashed into q. telephone pole at
the bottom of the West Hurfando
street hill here early today and was
wrecked. Three OF the occupants were
killed outright, a fourth was fatally
wounded and died shortly after; the
others were more or less seriously hurt.
The bodies of the three dead were
mangled almost beyond recognition.
They were w. Fl. Ralston, a dealer in,
electrical supplies; H. Winnal, John
S. Grey, formerly of New York, and
Britton L. Graves, druggist. James
English, George Buckley, F. H. Ward
and A. w. Markscbeffel were injured.
The men were returning from the
Elks' Clubhouse at Manitou in the six
climber, 40-horsepower machine. The
car with it's merry, jesting passengers,
crowded in the two seats, on the hood
and on the steps, plunged at a terrific
clip down the hill. Markscheffel, who
was driving, in some manner lost con-
troll of the wheel, and the machine,
swerving from side to side across the
car tracks, ran into the gutter.
For fully fifty feet the heavy car
plunged onward, the right front and
rear wheels running in the gutter and
the left wheels a foot higher on the
curb. Suddenly the right front wheel
struck some object, and the machine
turning around was thrown a distance
of about forty-five feet down the hill.
The car probably would have been
whirled down the hill for a still great
er distance but for the telephone pole
which barred the way, and 1t was this
pole that probably caused the death of
two and possibly three of the victims.
Grey was precipitated out of the car
and jammed against the telephone pole.
The entire left side of his face was
flattened and his skull was laid open,
the impact tearing the top of his
head almost in two.
Ralston evidently was thrown against
the pole or against the board fence on
the other side Of the walk. His skull
was fractured, as was that of Winnal,
who was hurled fifty feet.

COAL IS GIVING OUT.

States has already reached the maxi.
mum Of its yearly hard coal output,
and from this time on the amount OF
anthracite mined will decrease year
by year, and the price naturally will
soar until this fund becomes an abso
lutte luxury.
I'VE have found it entirely feas-
ible' said Mr.. Randall, ito abate
smoke in power plants, but it is next
to impossible TO stop it among resi-
dences burning soft coal. Therefore
IL would seem that the logical thing
to do would be to utilize the rapidly
waning supply of hard coal for the
homes and use the soft coal in the
factories and power houses.
The real problem before the east
is the abatement of smoke from soft
coal. New York is now showing that
this can be done in the experiments
conducted by the New York Edison
company.
"The burning of soft coal by inn
proved methods in large central heat
ing stations, in place of many small,
poorly conducted plants, is one of the
promised solutions. In several cities
these mammoth plants have been in
stalled and are doing good work.
Another method is to convert the
fuel into gas and coke at big
plant, selling the gas and coke (both
of which are smokeless) to the con-
sumer.
Still another method is the es-
taGlishment of great gas producers,
gas engines and electric generators
at the coal mines, the gas producers
operating the engines and the latter
in turn the generators, sending the
electricity into the cities for power,
light and heating purposes. Elec-
tricity can be sent in this manner $50
miles. II is also hoped that in the
near future the railroads will use
such power in operating their lines
This would do away with big part
of the smoke nuisance"

PIGS AS DAIRY ROBBERS.
Cow Secretly Adopts Invaders as Her
Own Family.

Doe Run, Pa.-Walter T. Wood. ol
this place, runs a dairy farm, where
he has a herd of 81 cows. Amons
these are 10 which he raised himself
each of which gives a daily supply on
from 40 to 60 pounds of milk. One
evening recently, when the cows were
brought into the stable, Mr.. Wooe
noticed that one of them had little
milk, and he made some observations
the next day,
In the barnyard he had eight shoats,
weighing about l50 pounds each II
did not take long to solve the mys
terry as to the thieves of his milk. The
largest shoat hunted out this particu
lar COW, stood under her finally, and
sucked the udder completely empty.
Mr.. Wood put the COW back into the
stable. and the next day, when re-
leased into the yard, the shoat per.
formed the same stunt. Other shoats
Learned the trick, and finally there
were three OF them. Mr.. Wood then
ran into the house for his camera.
Mr.. Wood got his pencil. after the
picture had been made. and, figuring
at four cents quart for milk and
$3.50 per 100 pounds for pork, he con-
cluded that II was not profitable
transaction; so that the cow is now
tied in her stable and the shoats have
to go on skim milk.

VIKINGS EVER IN MINNESOTA?
Finding Of Ancient Anchor Thought
to Be Proof OF Presence.

Crookston, Minn.-Photographs have
been taken of the ancient Morse an.
chor found on the state experiment
farm the other day, and copies of
these will be sent TO the Swedish
and Norwegian governments in the
hope of ascertaining the true histor-
teal value of the discovery. The an.
rhor itself will be sent either to the
Smithsonian institution or some mu-
scum, and efforts will be made to
connect It with the supposed visit of
the Norsemen to the continent of
North America centuries before the
discovery by Columbus.
According to tradition, Lief Erikson
left a party of 60 men when he
touched on the North American coast,
and II is possible that this anchor Is
n relic of that little band, of whom
nothing ever was heard afterward.
The anchor is light, weighing not
more than 30 pounds. II consists Of
n rather heavy cylindrical center
piece and from sockets on either side
prongs project, the prongs swinging
on iron pins through the center of the
cylinder.
From the nature of the stratum Of
clay in which the anchor was found
II is certain that the earth had not
been disturbed for centuries. as the
clay was not mixed with the least
particle OF black dirt, The depth at
which the anchor was found and the
fact that It was imhedded in solid clay
probably accounts for its good state
Of preservation.
Efforts are being made to discover
other evidence of the Norsomen's
presence in this part OF the country.
