MEETS DEATH
in RUNAWAY
Mrs. Emma SWenS0n Instantly
Killed While Trying 10 Es-
cape from Runaway.

Mrs. Emma Swenson jumped
from a platform buggy last Friday,
in a runaway on the road near l. l.
Berg's place northwest of the city,
and was instantly killed. Such was
the shocking news in brief that
spread thru the city last Friday af-
ternoon. The victim Of the sad &C.
cident was widow living in Sec. 10,
Dovre, on the Mamre line, who was
riding to town with a neighbor
and wife to do little trading.
1t was Andrew Olson who owned
the rig and with whom the unfor-
tunate woman was riding. Mrs.
Swenson and Mrs. Olson sat in the
back seat of the vehicle, Mr.. o.
son sitting in the front seat and
driving. Among other things with
which the buggy was loaded were
two cases of eggs, one of which be-
longed to Mrs. Swenson. All was
we'll the first six miles travelled, :,
but as the party neared Willmar
on what is known as Helmer's Hill,
one of the bolts which held the
tongue frame to the buggy axle,
loosened and fell out. The team
became unmanagable as soon as
the wagon run sideways against
them. Mrs. Swenson became des-
perately frightened and first pitch
ing out her case of eggs onto the
road jumped out of the rig with
the result hat her neck was broken
in the fall. Mrs. Olson says that
she tried to hold the terrified
woman in the seat without success.
Had she remained in the rig she
might possibly have escaped with
only slight injury. AS the horses
continued their wild chase, the
buggy was upset and the second
bolt holding the tongue was broken.
This freed the horses from the
wreck and they run as far as the
brickyard without doing much more
damage. Mr.. and Mrs. Olson es-
capped with a few minor bruises.
The remains of Mrs. Swenson
were taken to Peterson's undertake
ing rooms. The funeral took place
Sunday afternoon. The deceased
was member of the Swedish Bap-
list church, and Rev. Carl Oberg
officiated at the obsequies. A large
number of Willmar people Joined
the funeral cortege, which proceed
ed to the Lundby church, where
services were held. The interment
took place in the adjoining church
yard at the side of the grave OF
Sven Swenson, the husband, who
died in 1901. A large number OF
mourning neighbors and friends at.
tended the sad gathering. The
pallbearers were the following: Pc.
ter johnson, E. N. Nelson, A. Johr
Anderson, 0. H. Ekdahl, P. E. Par.
son and Renius Swenson.
The deceased was born in XII
parish, Varmland, Sweden. 81
years, lacking one day, before he1
death. She was considerabl,
younger than her husband, who wa.
73 years old at the time of hi.
death. A son, sixteen years old
Sven Swenson, Jr., is the only i'm
mediate relative known to survive
the deceased. The boy, left alone
in the world by this terrible acci
dent, has the heartfelt sympathy 0:
all in his loneliness and sorrow.

VERIFYING Is in preparation at

championship races to be held

are known all over the world are being

mile course daily. In accordance with
the policy OF a fair apportionment of

scene OF the national stock chassis road
races, held last year at Lowell. Mass. The

Association awarded the national races
for 1910 10 the Chicago Motor Club.
which. In conjunction with thu Elgn Road
Racing Association. will conduct the meet
over the circuit at Elgin. I'll. Races for
stock GLASSES for varying piston displace-
ment from 16l to go cubic inches have
teen provided for, the first day, with
valuable trophies and cash prizes TO driv-
ers. The second day will be devoted to
the big race of 300 miles for the Elgin
national trophy for stock chassis. 800
inches and under. minimum Weight 900
pounds. The course Is now being rapid
ly prepared, and was opened for practice
last week
Those four races will afford an oppor-
tunity for competition OF bona fide stock
chassis of all classes, registrations of
which have been duly made and accepted
by the contest board of the A. A. A. as
fully complying with the requirements of
the 1910 stock chassis rules. All Of the
essential factors necessary for the hold
Ing of a successful road race are to pe
found at Elgin; an excellent, fast and
safe course Of eight ane one-half miles
without road crossing, with but four
turns, adequately guarded by the LIST
Regiment of the Illinois National Guard
and a large number Of fiagmen. As the
Elgin course is closely adjacent to the
great western metropolis of Chicago, with
excellent transportation facilities, those
stock chassis races will be easily ac-
cessible to half a million Of people, and
will be truly national in scope and char
acter.
The Eighties have undertaken the task
of furnishing a road-racing circuit that
will be. second to none in the country.
There is TO reason why they should not
succeed, for they have all the natural ad-
vartages at hand IN the circuit that is
at their very doors. The course Is located
one mile from the very heart of Elgin
and street car lines run almost to the
eastern leg. The circuit as officiaIly
measured last. week shows a distance OF
eight miles =, 40 feet, and is further fea-
tured by having only four turns. all of
which are easy to negotiate. The road
itself will average twenty feet in width
and at many places there Is room for
three cars to run abreast. The corners
also are easy, and experts who have in
spected them declare that the Mcqueen
and Udina corners can be taken at the
rate OF forty miles an hour. A slower
pace will be necessary at the other two
turns, which mark the beginning and
ending Of the hairpin. and here II will be
necessary to cut down to eighteen and
twenty miles an hour. Ohicials Of the
Chicago Motor Club visited the course
work that has been going on under the
direct supervision of General Executive
Charles +. Root.
