CAUGHT UNDER HIS CAR
AUT0|ST IS BADLY HURT
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
G. f. Gamer, the autOist who was
so severely injured while engaged in
race at Blue Earth Thursday, is not
dead, as was reported yesterday, and
he has fair chance of recovery.
For the auto tournament at Blue
Earth, which was held Thursday and
which were largely attended, two pro-
fessional auto racers were secured,
who participated in the races at the
state fair, and who have taken part in
speed duels in different parts of the
country. The car that was wreck
ed, had record of 100 miles in
seventy-two minutes. In the adver-
tisements announcing the meet, the
races were described as nerve ting
ling, death-daring and spine chilling"
and these statements proved to be all
too prophetically true.
The unfortunate race participated
in by these two professionals occur
red in the afternoon, and was a three
mile race.
An Egg-Shaped Track.
The track. at Blue Earth is half
mile track, of egg shape, containing
two rather sharp curves. The acct
dent occurred as they were going
around the second time at the turn
on the home stretch.
At this place the track is graded
so as to constitute an embankment
about six feet high. Both of the
autos were going at rate of about
sixty miles an hour.
The unfortunate auto racer was a
little behind his competitor but had
just succeeded in passing him, but in
making the turn at the curve, he was
not able to turn his machine quickly
enough, or partly lost control of the
same, and the swiftly speeding racing
car went off the track, and went down
the six foot embankment on the out
side.
Turned Over Twice.
The machine in going down the
embankment and striking the ground
beneath turned over two times. The
driver was found on the ground at
the side of the machine. One arm
was broken. He had received ter
rifle blow in the jaw. There was a
bad cash extending from the upper
part of the leg along his side.
Gamer was give immediate medi-
cal attendance, and for hours he
lowered between life and death Yes
terday the report came from Blue
Earth that he had died.
Today a phone message from Blue
Earth was to the effect that Gamer
was better and there are now hopes
for his recovery. -

about thirty-fve years ago and his
father, who was P. C. Brewer of

Brewer stated that he had brothers

He was married and had one son,
who would be about twenty-three
wears of age now. He last heard of
his son ten years ago, and at that
time he was in Illinois. His wife is
dead.

horse trading and dealing in junk
He spent last winter in Iowa on a

SENDS 'JAGS' TO Cure
FARM NEAR W|LLhAR
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Judge of Probate Evan Hughes
| will soon assume other duties aside
from presiding over the estates oil
the dead and populating ST. Peter.
| A state Jag" farm will soon be
opened at Willmar and at that time
the probate courts of Minnesota will
be given new jurisdiction. 81
| The farm was legalized under a
1909 law. A tract of $40 acres was
purchased and the necessary i'm.
provements have been nearly conn
pleted. !,
The probate court of st. Louis
county expects to receive official
notice of the opening of the farm
about Nov. 1. Probate judges will
be clothed with new authority. !
The newly created Gag" court will
be a sort of aftermath of the police
court. Inebriates of all kinds and
descriptions will be dealt with and
if it is found advisable will be CONE
mitted. f-'
Will Be No Trial.
Unlike the police court there will
be no. trial. Examinations such as
are conducted in insanity cases Will
take the place of the trial and pro,
bate judge will pass upon the pris4
oner's mental or physical conditions
He will be governed largely, how
ever, by the recommendation on
findings of the examining board
The police welcome the changes

the city of an undesirable class of
people. 81
The confirmed drunkard under the
new condition of affairs will no
longer be burden to the police or
his friends and relatives, if he has
any.
Three Convictions Only.
Three convictions of drunkenness
in the police court will be excuse
enough for committing a prisoner to
this farm under the new law.
The "snow bird" or victim of the
cocaine habit, is also eligible to be-
come farm hand and every time he
is caught in the drift he will stand
a good chance of trip to Willmar.
Any citizen may file a petition of
inebriancy against any one suspect.
ed of being good candidate for
the jag" farm and an examination
may be demanded.
The coke fiend," the victim of the
morphine habit or any one addicted
to the habitual use of drugs, and
who yet maintains their mental
equilibrium may be committed to
the Willmar institution for treatment
by any probate court
