Auto Turns Turtle without
Hurting Occupants.
George Archer and Williams
Boy Were in Car.
WERE WOMEN ALSO IN PARTY?
WOman'S Shoe Found on Ma
chine After Accident.
Heard Asking for Archer Tele-
phOning to Garage.

| George Archer of 1921 North Mon
roe street and a boy by the name OF
| Williams were in Archer'S sautomob bile
when it turned three somersaults over
an embankment several hundred feet
north of the Central avenue bridge
about II O'Clock last night. No one
was seriously hurt. The machine was
damaged to the extent of $100- The
injury by clinging to the seats. The
machine is a thirty horsepower Jack
| son car.
This morning a woman's shoe was
found on the top of the overturned
auto. This, Mr.. Archer says must
have been placed there as a joke, as
no woman was in the machine. The
Williams boy, whose first name he
says he doesn't know, was the only
other occupant of the auto. Archer
is now a single man about 40 years
old.
However, the people in the J. w.
Reed house from which he telephoned
to the garage, heard women laughing
and talking in the road. One of the
women came to the door of the house
and called for Archer. He told her to
go back and wait for him.
That the party escaped serious in
jury if not death seems almost mi
raculous Indications are that the
auto was headed north and going at a
rapid rate. The two front wheels left
the embankment. The machine turn
sault or two from the way the road
was plowed up. Archer says that the
occupants of the auto held on to the
seats in the car until it quit turning
over. The engine ran for about five
minutes after the accident.
The radiator and wheels this morn
ing when the machine was taken to
the Williams garage were mass of
mud. The lamps, fender and body of
the automobile were wrecked.
I'VE were going to drag another
larger machine out of the mud" said
Archer this morning. "A boy by the
name of Williams, whose first name /
don't know, was with me. We were
the only ones in the car. We were in
the front seat. A little north of the
Central avenue bridge the front wheels
left the bank which is pretty steep
there. The auto rolled over on its
side. We hung to the seats until the
auto quit rolling. We weren't even
bruised. No woman was with US.
Some one put the shoe on the machine
for a joke

Won Big Barley Prize.

Word was received this week by VIM.
VonBargen from the secretary of the
American Land l. Irrigation Show, re-
Gently held in New York, to the effect
that he had won third prize for the
best barley. This is quite an honor as
there were exhibits at the show compet-
ing for this prize from all sections of
the country. The barley upon which
Mr.. Won Bargen was awarded the prize
was some that went through ten days
OF rain and as not an average quality
by any means. Last year, it will be re-
called, the same gentleman carried off
first money for the best barley exhibit
ed at the American Brewers exhibit
held at Chicago.

DECISION FAvoRS FARMERS
Supreme Court Holds Grain Contracts
Not Binding.

Attorney G. w. Tanhahill of Lewis
ton Monday received advices from
Boise to the effect that the supreme
court has handed down decision ia
voring the defendants in the case Of
M. A. Houser VS.. Hobert ct al. The
case is Lewis county action and was
before the supreme court several
months ago at which time an opinion
favoring the farmers was handed down.
Later a rehearing was granted and the
case was argued during the recent term
of the court here.
The action was instituted to collect
damages alleged to have been sustained
by reason of the farmers failure to
deliver their 1911 grain crop to the
plaintiff in accordance with the provis.
ions of contrsct entered into earlier
in the season. The court held that the
contract was drawn in such manner
as not to be binding upon either of the
parties involved.

hundred feet from where the house
stood. Not sign of the cook stove,
which was not as near the explosion
as was the doctor, can be found.
1t is looked upon as miraculous that
he was not killed outright from the
force of the explosion. When he re-
gained consciousness he was lying on
the ground where he had stood when
the explosion occurred and the whole
of the house, which was one-story
structure As feet long and proportion
ately as wide, was completely demol-
ished by the explosion. The floor
ioists were eight-inch cedar telephone
poles and these were broken and scat
tered for radius of over 100 feet
from the place where the house stood.
Mr.. Green believes the fire must have
started in some manner from the largo
fireplace, as the greater part of the
flames at the time the fire was discov-
cred, were in that part.
A series of bad luck seems to have
followed DR.. Green for three or four
years past. He had accumulated snug
little fortune in the practice Of his pro-
fession at Grangeville, and had retired,
going into the sheep business on largo
scale. This proved to be a financial
failure and he then came here -
principal of the local school last win
ter. He filed on the homestead where
the disaster occurred with view Of
getting hold of a portion of his own
range, having again decided to embark
in the sheep business. The failure
before was brought about in largo
measure by the inability to secure
suitable range at reasonable rental.
The personal belongings of lifetime
of collecting were all lost in the wreck
and fire, among which was one of tho
finest libraries in this part of the state.
The Doctor was brought to town
Tuesday morning and is at home with
his family very little the worse for his
experience so far as appearances 60.
He is suffering from several slight
burns, none of them considered serious,
and from two ribs which were torn
loose in front, and he is badly bruised
from head to foot. His feet are bruised
and swollen from his barefoot trip
through the snow and rocks. If moth
ing unforeseen happens, he will be up
and saround in few days, and ready to
attend to his dental practice.-Salmon
