FAMILY HAS NARROW
ESCAPE IN AUTO CRASH

WILMINGTON, n. c., Jan. ca
That Robert Ruark. prominent at
torney of this city, and his wife and
three children weer not all instantly
killed in an accident which wrecked
their automobile Sunday afternoon Is
little short of marvellous. With his
family, Mr.. Ruark was enjoying a
spin, when his machine ran full speed
into rapidly moving suburban troll
ley car. AT the first impact Mr.. Ru-
ark and two children were hurled
from the front seat, which saved their
lives, as the auto was in the twink
ling of an eye a mass of splintered
wood and twisted metal, yet from the
wreckage Mrs. Ruark and the third
child were taken out uninjured. save
for being bruised. With the excep-
ton OF Mr.. Ruark and one child be-
ing badly cut none of the party was
seriously hurt.

Seattle some days ago to give birth

she came to Seattle as the guest OF
her friend Mrs. Frederick H. White,
of 1914 Spring street, and was finally
accouched at the hospital.
President Taft has just telegraphed
his congratulations and it has been
decided to name the child Charles

BEMIDJE, MIMI, Aug. 2-Sitting
upright in his chair with 5000 rifle
between his legs was the manner in
which Coroner lbertson OF Bermidji
found the body of Dan Robinson, Sc
years old, who committed suicide
about $3.50 Friday night at his home
three miles east of Hines, this coun-
ty.
As soon as the suicide was discov-
cred, Coroner Ibertson was notified,
at Eemidji, and when the coroner ar
rived on the scene only shee had
been placed over the body. the corpse
having been left where it was found.
Il have never seen such sight"
said the coroner upon his return to
Bemidji this morning. The head,
from the mouth up was completely
torn from the rest of the body and
laid at various places about the room
while the body remained in an up
right position as though the old fell
low was sleeping. He had enough
money in his pockets to pay for his
own burial. Robinson had often spok-
en- of having been member Of Nor
gans raiders during the Civil war"
After viewing the body Coroner
lbertson decided that no inquest was
necessary and ordered the remains
inferred at Hines.

MAKING A VACATION PAY

The best investment that many men
make during the year is represented
by the expense of their vacation.
They are paying out money and earn
ing nothing, but they are putting
themselves in superb condition for
great business on their return. They
are overhauling their physical and
mental machinery, renewing, restor-
ing, lubricating, polishing the delicate
bearings and putting them in con-
dition to run smoothly and noisedess-
ly the rest of the year.
There is no investment which pays
such great dividends as keeping ones
physical condition up to standard.-
