ACCIDENT HAPPENED NEAR WIN
DOM; NO ONE INJURED.

Sioux Falls, s. d., July 25.-Auburn
Car No. 3 furnished most of the eX-
element in the second days run of.
The Dispatch Trophy Tour. When 60
ing at a rate of eighteen miles an hour
near Window, Saturday afternoon, the
car left the road, ran into often and
turned turtle. J. c. Appleton, Mime
apolis. the driver, was thrown twenty
feet into the weeds, and Morris Froe-
Itch, Walter Ranger and MILFORD Chap
pei, the passengers, landed at the head
of the road. Ranger narrowly, escaped
being pinioned under the car. Aside
from slight bruises, no member of the
party was injured.
Attempted to Clear Roadway.
Appleton was trying to make room
for No. /, the Reuben Warner car, to
pass him. He went too close to the
edge of the culvert and the accident
followed. The engine of the car con-
tinued to run, although all four wheels
were in the air. Members of other au-
tomobile crews righted the machine
and it continued on it's way
Sioux Falls was in holiday attire
Saturday night in honor Of the tour
lists. Every business house and pub
lie building had flags futtering from
the windows and bunting strung from
ceiling to roof. The Dakota club and
the Elks' club gave a big reception
and the ears parked near the Cataract
hotel We're surrounded by a crowd of
people which a dozen special officers
were trying to hold back.
Sunday the automobile club took
the hundred tourists to the Coun-
try club for big picnic. City Off
Gals delivered addresses of welcome,
and Reuben Warner, Jr., DR.. c. E. Dut-
ton, G.. n. Phillips, and others spoke
for the tourists.
Luverne Greeted Members.
AT Luverne Saturday afternoon May
OF Wright welcomed the little Glidden-
ties, and lunch was served on the
lawn across from the court house. Fiji
ty automobiles left for Sioux Falls
with the contestants.
Both Luverne and WOrthington had
immense banners of welcome stretched
across the principal streets, and as in
the case of the first days run, every
village and cross road was decorated
with flags.
That the trip is an important good
roads factor is evidenced by the fact
that of the $50 miles of the outgoing
trip more than 300 miles of the road had
been put in repair especially for the
purpose. And the interest that is be-
ing aroused in the good roads move
ment cannot be estimated.
Schedule Is Most Strenuous.
The route and schedule is the most
strenuous that has ever been attempt
cd in the northwest and the cars are
beginning to show the strain. Many
penalties will be announced when the
cars get to Minneapolis. With the
exception of one car, however, the road
records are all clear.
In addition to keeping its perfect
score the big Halliday car, owned by
Governor Eberlart, Saturday pulled a
farmers car out of the ditch near Ma.
della, MINI.
The pilot car got water in her gaso-
line Saturday and had to abandon its
official position for the day, the Corbin
pacemaker assuming the double duty
of spreading the confetti and making
the pace.
One hundred and two automobiles
from this and surrounding cities lined
the road between Sioux Falls and Lu
verne this Afternoon. All the occu
pants waved flags and cheered the cars.
