Chief corriston has ordered all po-
lice officers to pull down election signs
which they find on telegraph or tele-
phone poles or on trees. c. NJ. Lor-
ing is given credit for starting this
crusade. For the past week he has

Minneapolis police received a mes
sage from an undertaken at Aberdeen,
S. D., Monday night telling Of the
death there Of Daniel Lavell Of this
city. Lavell, who was fatally injured
in threshing machine accident, died
last Sunday. and just before he passed
away made a last attempt to tell
where he had lived in Minneapolis
The address, as recorded by the at
tendant, was 721 Main st. n. e., where,
Lavell said, he had a trunk containing
a Modern woodman insurance policy,
which he hoped might help out his
family. The policeman sent to this
place, however, reported that there
was no such number and the trunk
could not be found. Late Monday
night Lavell's mother was located at
1911 Washington st. n. e., where she
was living with a relative. She had
not seen her boy for two years, and
the shock when she learned Of his
death was a severe one.

of the second accident, o. F. Bergman,
900 Monroe st. n. e., was working
on the wrecked Hart auto at the bot
tom Of the embankmcnt, and just goS
out Of the way in time when the Sec
ond machine tumbled over the decliv-
ity. Ryan, who tried to avoid the ia
tai sand, turned out too quick with
the result that his machine skidded
into it, and from there on over the
embankment He probably owes his
life to the fact that he stuck to his
seat in the auto as Mrs. Hart was
killed by striking her head on stone
while trying to Jump. Ryan and the
friend who was riding with him sus-
tanned slight injuries.
