AUTO DRIVER CRUSHED TO
DEATH.
Instantly Killed When Car
Goes Over a Bank,

Milwaukee, Wis, July 20. 49, Lewis
Strang, the automobile driver, who had
driven in races in various sections of the
United States, was instantly killed to-
day near Blue River, village about 20
miles from Richland Center, while pilot
ing the machine of the technical com
mittee on the Wisconsin Automobile as
sociations' annual reliability run.
Early reports were to the effect that
Strang was going along at good speed
and that in endeavoring to avoid a
collision with passing team the car
plunged over an embankment, pinning
him to the ground. Later adWces,
however, indicate that the car was
running at only about four miles an
hour and the team was going in the
same direction. Strang turned aside
but the bank suddenly gave way. The
car slid down the embankment and
turned turtle, and Strang, reluctant to
jump, went under to his death. The
embankment was scarcely more than
five feet high. Strang's body was
taken to Blue River.
Strang broke an arm about the middle

Three others in the car jumped and
escaped practically uninjured. The
others in the car were Jaegersberger

Strang was 26 years old and was born
in New York, but had been connected

BELIEVE sTRANG INVITED DEATH.
Lacrosse, Wis, July 20. That Lewis
Strang was deliberately inviting death
on the present state reliability run was
the opinion of his associates on the tour
when the party left here this morning.
After leaving Milwaukee on Monday
Strang is said to have been so reckless
that some who started in his car re-
fused to ride with him. Strang was
recently sued for divorce by his wife. -

New York Tourist in Indiana Makes
Present to Boy.

Hammond, Ind, July 20. Cecil Han
cock, y years old, who lives on his
fathers farm in Jasper county, Indi-
ana, got $4,000 touring car as a gift
from an eXasperated New York tourist
who met with an accident near the
Hancock farm.
The tourist refused to give his name,
but the automobile license was No. $500,
N. Y.
While descending hill near the farm
the New Yorker, who was going to
Chicago, and who was the only occu-
pant of the car, lost control of the ma
chine when a steering knuckle broke
and the car landed in a ditch bottom
side up.
Young Hancock helped the owner out
of the wreck, though the air was blue
with language.
Il will give that car away for any
thing to get rid of it," said the New
Yorker.
"Give it to me" said the boy.
Take the damn nuisance and well
come" replied the owner.
He then hired the boy to drive him
to the nearest railroad station where he
could get a train for Chicago. Han
cock sold the car to an automobile
dealer for good price and will invest
the proceeds in college education. -

NATIONAL PARKS.
Glacier Park 60 Miles Long.
Washington letter to indianapolis
News
Continued.

(Continued)
The Glacier National Park, in north
ern Montana, on the Canadian border,
is the newest of the parks controlled by
the federal government. This park has
an area of approximately 9l5, 600 acres,
and has a maximum length of 60 miles.
1t has been well called the top of the
continent, for within its boundaries is
situated the great continental divide.
At one point in the park a tourist may
take a cup of water and cast the con-
tents to one side, whence it will find its
way to the gulf of Mexico, to another
side whence it will find its way to the
Pacific ocean, or in a third direction
whence it will find its way to Hudson
bay.
The park obtains its name from the
numerous glaciers which glisten in
dazzling white in the saddles between
the high peaks. tits well supplied with
streams and lakes that have been
formed by the damming of the valleys
by the great mass of debris left by the
continental glacier. The lakes are all
long and narrow, and in places wooded
slopes which are covered with thick
growth of pine and fir lie close to the
waters edge, while at other points pre-
cpitous cliffs form the border of the
lake, and rivulets pour their waters
over the sides.
AS less than two years have elapsed
since Glacier Park was created, little
progress has been made in the con-
struction of roads and trails. The
traveller visiting this park must be pre-
pared to travel on horseback. Those
looking for comfort only had better go
elsewhere, but those who desire to see
Nature in its widest mood or to travel
through the resinous forests of pine and
fir, or to escape the common Injuries of
travel, will find no place in two con-
tinents that will be the equal of this
park
The great waterfall in this park, how
ever, is Yosemite falls. This is a
stream 80 feet wide, and in the spring
and early summer, when the snow is
melting on the high Sierra, its roar can
be heard all over the valley and the
shock of the descent rattles the windows
a mile away. This fall is conceded by
all critics to be one of the most wonder
full and beautiful cascades in the world
Its first fall is about 1,60O feet sheer
drop, then come series of cascades,
partly hidden, in which the fall is more
than 600 feet, and finally a vertical
drop of 400 feet.
From the cliffs surrounding the valley
the scene is one of remarkable inspira-
ton and beauty. At the foot OF the
traveller lies the valley floor the green
trees and meadows and the winding
river, giving the effect of a rich velvet
carpet over which line of silver has
been drawn; here and there one gets
glimpses of the foaming white waters
hurting themselves to the valley below;
on both sides of the valley rise the great
walls of rock sculptured in the glacial
period into various fantastic shapes and
