Humboldt.--Mat Evans, druggist
of this place, started out for an auto
mobile trip, having in his new car Mr.
and Mrs. Lon Merigan, Miss Mint and
Ed Masters, the little son of the pub
Usher of the local paper. When the
party arrived at very steep hill
about six miles southwest of Hum.
bofdt, and when about half way uE
the steep grade, Mr.. Evans evidently
undertook to change his car from
high to low speed, but being new at
the business, the engine stopped and
the car started backing down the
grade. This hill is one of the worst in
the county, besides being very long
and extremely steep. 1t is graded up
just like railroad grading and only
room for one vehicle.
Merrigan, saw that an accident was
bound to occur, so grabbing the little
boy he threw him out and he went
rolling down the grade, % to 80 feet
and was was uninjured.
The car turned over three times
with the other four passengers III it.
Mrs. Merrigan was badly injured and
when she was extricated was uncon'
scious. The others were bruised but
nothing serious.

Brothers DISAGREE.

okings.-Referee Thomas Law
of Clear Lake is hearing the evidence
in one of the most complicated civil
suits ever tried in Brookings county.
The litigants are three brothers, the
PLAINTIFF being Henry Handwerk of Eu-
reka township, in Brookings county,
and the defendants Frank Handwerk,
also of Eureka township, and Charles
Handwerk of Morris, Ill. The suit
is for an accounting of partnership
affairs. The Handwerk brothers start
ed in business as hardware dealers at
Morris, ILL.,, in 1888. They prospered,
and their enterprises have extended
into many lines of effort among their
possessions being six quarter sections
of fine farming land in different parts
Of South Dakota. Disputes have
arisen among the brothers, hence the
suit instituted by Henry Handwerk.
The amount involved is between $4O,-
600 and 100000.

held the aldermen in their hands;
that In their close alliance with the

Gormly had made one blunder; but
like brilliant soldier he had sue
ceeded in turning 1t to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another. The Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company was made the subject Of
scathing criticism and bitter attack
Of which the Sachem society and the
party In power came in for a large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about 1t.
In previous campaigns the party out
OF power had been led by series Of
Gsorlorn hopes, men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause of reform
and not noted for much Of anything
else. The leaders Of the outs took mo-
tice Of Gormly. Inquiries began to
be made about him; his business
methods were investigated; mis- re-
sources we're discussed; his character
was analysed; his career made the
subject Of study From being merely

Of the great personalities of New

incidentally, he did not lose In the
estimation Of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation Of himself, which he. had
SO cleverly managed that no one
dreamed It was due to his own motion.

which Miss Haldane moved, which are
