CLOSE TO HER DEATH
MISS ETTIE HAMMOND ESCAPED
BEING CRUSHED BY AUTO.
She Was Accidentally Knocked Down
By Car and Fortunately She
Escaped the Wheels; Had Been
Receiving Treatment for Nervous
Disorder; Driver Not to Blame for
the Unfortunate Occurrence.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Miss Elite Hammond of Madelia,
who has been in the city for a cou
pie of weeks receiving treatment for
a nervous disorder of several years
standing, was knocked down by an
automobile at about dusk Saturday
evening at the corner of Second and
Cherry streets. She fell in such a way
that the wheels of the machine pass
ed on each side of her, and she for
tunately escaped serious injury. She
was slightly bruised, and the princi-
pal i'll effects consisted of nervous
shock.
Ladies Crossed the Street
Miss Hammond was with two other
ladies and had just crossed the street
when Theodore Just came up Cherry
street in his car intending to turn
down Second. The ladies had cleared
the street, he saws and he anticipated
no trouble and thought it unnecessary
to alarm them by sounding the horn.
When he was about ten or twelve
feet from the crossing, Miss Hammond
Unexpectedly started back across the
street and ran Immediately in front of
the machine, so that both met on the
crossing. Mr.. Just states that he was
going up the street on slow speed,
at about four miles an hour. When
Miss Hammond was thrown down by
the impact of the machine and fell
between the wheels, he guided the
machine over her and stopped. He then
assisted her into the car and took her
to her stopping place, Mrs. Peterson's
home 223 Grove street, and summoned
DIR. w. H. Bedwell, who has been
treating her. DR.. Bedwell examined
her and found no physical injuries,
but that the shock had been bad
effect upon her nerves, already weak.
She was bruised somewhat
Had Been in Runaway.
1t appears that Miss Hammond was
IN runaway four years ago, and that
since then has suffered from nervous
trouble. Saturday evening, just before
the accident, it is said that she was
frightened by horse that SHE'D out
at something, and was in this ner-
Vous state when she saw the automo-
bile coming, and started back across
the street.
Mr. Just, who purchased car early
III the spring, has been known as
careful driver, and the accident ap-
pears to be one of those unfortunate
ones where no blame can Justly be
cast upon anyone.
Miss Hammond is in such a nervous
condition that she can not remember
how the accident happened.

A GREAT SUCCESS
"MAID OF ORLEANS" PRESENTED
IN HARVARD STADIUM.
Miss Maud Adams Is the Recipient of
Many Compliments for Her
Fine Acting

Cambridge, Mass, June 23.-The
experiment Of producing Schiller's
"Maid of Orleans" beneath starrS
skies with close approach to the his
toric detail surrounding the bright
figure of the Fifteenth century was
carried out with success in the extern
siVe arena of the Harvard stadium by
Miss Maude Adams and company
numbering about 1900 persons. The
performance was undertaken for the
Harvard and the greater part of the
working force of the Frohman syndi-
cate was actively engaged in the pro-
duction.
More than $4,000 persons, massed
tier on tier, saw the performance.
The beauty of Schiller's lines and
the magnitude of the plan of reproduc-
ton combined to make the few hours
in the stadium a period of intense
pleasure. The historic perspective
was skilfully maintained throughout
from the little pastoral scene in Jo-
hanna's fathers home with the flocks
of living sheep and actual trees of
the forest, to the splendor of the
French court, the clash of the English
and French arms, the coronation pa
gent and the death scene in the ca
thedral.
The motley crowds of serfs and
Wallets were made up of Harvard stu
dents. Men of the state militia
marched as archers and spearmen in
the French and English armies.
Miss Adams was accorded an ova-
ton at the end of the performance.

SEEK FEDERAL HELP
UNCLE SAM MAY EXTEND AID
TO MINNESOTA FAIR.
Congressman James A. Tawney Is In
teresting Himself in Plan to Sc
cure Money From the Government;
Probably Will Have an Exhibit at
Big Show; Conferences With Sec
setary James Wilson.

Washington, June 2l.-A government
exhibit for the Minnesota state fair of
1909, and permanent federal recogni-
ton of the big northwestern exposition
are likely to result from negotiations
now under way between Secretary Will
son of the department of agriculture
and the officials of the state fair.
Letters were sent yesterday to Hon.
j. j. Furlong of Austin, vice president
of the state fair association, by Con-
gresham Tawney, VINO has had two
conferences with Secretary Wilson. As
roughly outlined at present the plan
contemplates the probable establishment
at the fair frounds in September of
the model plant for making denatur-
ed alcohol, operated by the govern
ment last year at the corn exposition
at Omaha.
Has Become Northwestern Exposition.
Vice President Furlong, with whom
the plan for governmental co-opera ton
had its beginning, submitted to Sec
rotary Wilson, through Mr.. Tawney, a
detailed report to show how thoroughly
the Minnesota fair mad become north
western exposition.
The attendance records, the perma-
nent investments, made by the state
of Minnesota and the character of the
exhibits were submitted to the secre-
sonally favorable in every way to the
project.
An exhibit at the Minnesota fair
would be the first move of that kind
ever undertaken by the department of
agriculture. Whatever is done, in the
opinion of Secretary Wilson, should
be along the line of practical exhibits
which will be of benefit to northwest
ern industry.
Model Exhibits at Fair.
Congressman Tawney stated yester-
day that he believed Secretary Wilson
is satisfied that model exhibits at the
Minnesota fair would be of more prac-
tical benefit than the exhibits made by
the government at the Portland Seat
tie, Omaha, Atlanta, Memphis and other
eXpositions, where from $250,OOO to
100000 has been provided by an APP
preparation of congress
The Minnesota fair has outgrown
the state and county fair class, and
is an annual exposition of the high
est character.
Two years ago Congressman Taw-
ney was prominent in a plan then dis
cussed to make the Minnesota fair a
northwestern Industrial Exposition"
1t is not unlikely that the same plan
will be revived, and in the event that
it is consummated, government APP
preparation for a permanent building,
and permanent government participa-
ton would undoubtedly be secured.

OZONE MEN At MEET
WILL TALK UP AN INTERNATION-
AL WEATHER BUREAU.
Now For a Worldwide Forecasting
Movement; Vessels of All Nations
to Be Equipped With Uniform
Storm Signals; Prevent Disasters
at Sea; Statement BY Willis l..
Moore, Uncle Sans ''Old Probs."
Especial to The Free Press.l

London, June 2l.-An international
weather bureau, which will use the
wireless telegraph to fash around the
world warnings of approaching storms
and disturbances of the elements is
projected by the distinguished wealth
er men of all countries gathered in
London today at the initial session of
the international conference of me-
teorologists.
According to the plans for this
world wide weather forecasting move
ment all vessels of all nations will
be equipped with uniform storm sig
nails 1t is believed that this would
60 far toward preventing disasters
at sea.
The United States is represented at
the conference by Professor Willis L.
Moore, chief of the United States
Weather bureau. 1t is stated that
America will take a prominent part in
the projected international bureau.
Inaugurate Concerted Action.
A concerted movement will be in
au9urated to induce the principle gov
ernments to adopt uniform system
of wireless telegraphy marine wealth
Ell reports, and to reach an agree
ment so that all nations shall dis
play uniform marine storm signal.
If such an international agreement can
be effected it is believed that it will
be a great factor in saving life and
property on sea and land, and at the
same time be highly important in the
making of weather predictions.
Dealt With By Committees.
These subjects will be dealt with
by two committees, one on maritime
weather signals and the other on
weather marine telegraphy. The first
committee is composed of DIR. w. N.
Shaw, director of the British Meteor
illogical Office; Professor A. Augat,
director of the Central French me-
neurological service; the Rev. L. F.
Froc, director of the III Ka Wei OBJ
servatory at Shanghai, China; Rear
Admiral HiZ, director of the Dutch
Seewarte at Hamburg, Germany; Pro-
lessor H. Mohn, director Norwegian
Meteorological institute; Professor Will
lis L. Moore and X. Nakamura, di-
rector of the Meteorological service
of Japan. In addition to Augut, Hirz
and Moore, the other committee will
be composed of Lieutenant General
Rykatcheff, director of the Central
Physical Observatory of ST. Peters
burg Russia.
One of the principal problems to
be taken up by the conference" said
Professor Moore, SIS the question of
international agreement as to the TAX
ing of wireless marine weather re-
ports. The scheme is to secure the
adoption by all of the leading nations
of a uniform method of taking and
transmitting wireless meteorological OBJ
servations SO that each observation
no matter by what nation taken will
be comparable with the observations
taken by any other nation. There is
now no uniform system of receiving
and transmitting marine wireless
weather reports and exactly the same
things are not observed"

Will Remove the Walks.

The county board has decided to re-
move the two circular walks in the
lawn in front of the court house, that
are around the site reserved for a foun-
tain. The reason for this is that the
walks are not used and grow up to
weeds The stone curbng is being
hauled out. 1t is regrettable that the
original plan could not have been car
ried out and fountain installed in
the center. If the county could have
built the fountain, no doubt the city
would have furnished the water free.

SHOT HIS WIFE DEAD
FARMER NEAR PRESTON COMMIT
TED AWFUL CRIME.
Stays Woman in Cold Blood and Then
Attempted to Murder His Son, To
Whom He Related Details of Deed,
After Which He Sought Hiding
Place in a Cornfeld Where He De-
fed a Posse; Then Suicided.

Preston, Mimi, June 23.-Gust Ben
dickson, a farmer living six miles east
of this city, shot and killed his wife
and then tried to kill his eighteen year
old son, but failing in the attempt, took
refuge in a corn field, armed with a
shotgun.
Bendickson's son was working in the
barn, which is a short distance from
the house, when he was startled by the
report of gun, coming from the dlrec-
ton of his home. He hurried towards
the house and was met by his father,
who stood in the doorway armed with
shotgun. The boy asked his father
what he had been doing with the gun
and the man replied:
Killed Wife, Attempt to Kill Son.
Il have just killed your mother, and
now l am going to kill you,'' where
upon he leveled his gun at the boy
and fired, but the shots went wild and
the father, still keeping his gun, ran
toward the cornfeld, while the boy
hurried into the house, saw what his
father SAID was true, hurrledly re-
moved the other children to neigh
boris house and told his story.
Posse Seeks Murderer.
The report of the murder was
brought to town by Alex Mckay, with
whom the children of the murderer
had taken refuge. Sheriff BleXrud, Cor
oner Grinnell, County Attorney Hoppe
and Deputy Sheriff C. NJ. 'Strom left
here in an automobile shortly before
noon for the scene of the murder, and
it was reported that when Bendickson
learned of the approach of the officers
he fled into the woods where he threat
ened to shoot the first man who made
an attempt to arrest him.
Bendickson is about sixty nine years
old and is thought to be in moderate
circumstances. Neighbors incline to the
belief that the man is insane and say
that he killed his wife while in fit.
The murderer committed suicide just
as the sheriff arrived.
