THEIR AUTO WAS UPSET

Owatonna, October 12.-Walter
Kasper received sprained ankle
and perhaps cracked small bone
in said ankle, and Chester McCrady
was badly shaken up and bruised in
an automobile upset which occurred
near the Winship farm Thursday
afternoon of this week. The two
young men, in a large touring car
belonging to the Zamboni garage,
were starting out of town and were
just turning the corner and going
I, up the sharp rise between the Win
| ship and Thompson places when the
rear axle broke, dropping the rear
! wheel on the right hand side. Then
before the car could be brought to
a stop the spindle of the right front
, wheel snapped under the strain, and
: the car gently turned over, landing
| bottom side up.
! Mr.. Kasper jumped as the car roll
ed, but was tripped by the gear lever
and thus his sprained ankle. Mr..
a., McCrady fell clear of the car but
pretty hard.
Examination of the break showed
] that both the rear axle and front
, wheel spindle were badly crystalized,
this, caused by vibration, being what
, happens to steel in an automobile
sometimes after long use. The car
/ was an old one which has seen many
thousands of miles of hard livery
use and as some one remarked,
"had right to be crystalized" The
windshield was broken in the turn
over but otherwise the car was un-
harmed aside from the original causes
of the upset.
Owatonna, October 12.-Arthur
Nelson of Brownsville, the motorcy-
clist, who, in passing the team driv-
a., en- by Mrs. r. P. Nelson at Bloom
| ing Prairie on Monday of this week,
indirectly caused Mrs. Nelson's
tragic death, was tried in municipal
court Friday, on the charge of vic.
lating the law in that he drove his
motorcycle past the team at a speed
greater than four miles an hour.
Nelson himself testified that he
was running from eight to ten
miles per hour, but declared that
when he passed, the team was no
more frightened than the majority
of teams and he went on uncon-
scious that any runaway had been
caused.
Witnesses in rigs, that had passed
Mrs. Nelson and were further down
the road stated that Mrs. Nelson
was not thrown from her buggy, as
it at no time was tipped sufficiently
for that, but that she seemed
to fall from the buggy, which leads
to the belief that she tripped or slip.
ped in trying to get out of the buggy.
That Nelson was greatly to blame
was not thoroughly established by
the testimony, but as his violation
of the law was plain by his own
admission, the court imposed fine
of $40 and costs, amounting to
S42.S4, which was promptly paid.

FoRGER ESCAPES JUSTICE.

The Indian, L. F.. Jones. who forged a couple of checks on Mesa people and was held to answer by the justice of the peace, was released when taken to Phoenix, as it was found that instead of being an Oklahoma citizen. he was 4 reservation Indian, hence a ward of the United States an Indian is evident ly deemed incapable of committing forgery, and there is no provision un- der which he can be prosecuted 1t was on this ground that Jones es- capped just punishment. as he confessed to the forgery. Being a ward of Uncle Sam, it is an offense to sell him whis- key, and Jones confessed to the au- thorities that a colored bootblack, who was with him in Phoenix, had SUD- piled him with enough booze to make him drunk. The bootblack is now held to answer to the charge of selling liquor to an Indian, and will probably go to Florence. It seems too bad that there is not some way that the Indian can be handled to cover his offense.

Ross daughter, and then went on north. It was hard trip and the climate there was so diff ferent from what she was used to that she wrote friends in Mesa a short time before she died that she had been cold ever since she got to her destination. Mrs. Ross had many friends in Mesa and vicinity.

TEMPE
CITY MARSHAL HAS
 HIS OWN TROUBLES
Water Users Neglect to Come Around
 and Pay Up on Time

City Marshal NJ. C. Browning re- ports that he is experiencing cOnsid erable trouble in the collection of the water bills due the city for the month of August. For some reason or other the patrons of the water system seem to think that it is the marshars place to look them up and also in some in stances to wait a few months for the payment The marshal does not take this view of the matter, though, and possibly others won't if they are forced to abide by the ordinance in regard to the matter. A previous mention of the fact has brought a few around to the office to settle up but he rest the marshal will either have to let them go or pay them a special visit. For the benefit of those who are not thoroughly posted on the mat ter the city ordinance is given below, and the marshal is wondering if he will have to enforce it:
 Ordinance No. GA, Section 36. Wa ter rates are due and payable in ad- vance at the office of the water de- partment between the hours of a. nj. and 4:30 D. m. pn the first day of each month, and if such rates are not paid on or before the tenth day of the month in which they may be- come due. an additional charge of ten per cent of the amount thereof shall be added thereto, and if the same is not then paid with such additional ten per cent on or before the twenti- eth of such month, the service or SUD- ply will be turned off without notice and shall not be turned on again un- til such rates and percentage, together with the charge of one dollar, the fee 1 for turning such supply or service off and on again, shall have been paid in l full.
 No consumers permit for the use of water shall be issued for less thar | one month"

w. c. Lemon, manager of the Mesa Steam Laundry, has announced that he will be ready for business on Monday. It has taken him several days to get the plant cleaned up and put in first class shape for turning out good work. Messrs w. A Beller and J. H. Baw- den, the two partners of MT. Lemon, were up from Phoenix yesterday and the papers were signed up by MT. J. R. Blakely and the laundry company and the plant turned over to the latter. The new firm asks that the people of Mesa give them a fair trial, believing that they can save considerable money to the town by doing the work here in- stead of sending it away.

MESA
DRY LAND FARMERS
 ID DEVELOP WATER
Committee of Those Interested Recon mend the Establishment Of lndi-
 vidual Pumping Plants.

The meeting of the dry land farm CTS, held in Mesa Wednesday after noon, went into the question of secur- ing a supply of water for their lands in thorough manner. In addition to the figures given by Engineer Paul F.. Fuller, who has made a special study Of the irrigation problems of this sec- tion, Attorney NJ J. Dougherty also gave some valuable hints as to the leg al phases of the district irrigation act. At the close of the meeting both Mr. Fuller and MT Dougherty were given a vote of thanks.
 The object of the meeting held We'd neSday was to decide whether the indi- Vidual pumping system or a central pumping plant and canal would be the most available and least objectionable plan. The committee finally decided to recommend to the district irrigation association that the individual system would be the best for a proposition covering so large an extent of territory as proposed And. by the way. that is another problem that must be worked out by the association before proceed ing any further. The dry" area ex- tends from Granite Reef on the north
 to Higley on the south, making a very large acreage and being nearly twenty miles in length. That this will be too large for one association to handle is believed by some: but that can be de- termined by the land owners. The w s. DOrman holdings are at one end of | the district, those of w. H Knox at the other
 At the committee meeting it was explained that the individual pumping l system would not exclude parties ot 1 three or four joining issues provided 1 that their lands were contiguous anG i installing one plant that would pumT water for the combined tract of land l That would be optional with the indi- viduals: but an lands would be as sessed the same for the purpose of Op- 1 erating the system. That question vii | of course have to be taken up in . general meeting and decided The very important question to be first de | cided is that of getting the boundarie;
 of the proposed district definitely de 1 fined, and getting all the land owner: in the district to sign up. When tha
 is accomplished. estimates can then b' arrived at with a degree of accuracy that will enable the association to Tak' up the matter of financing the propo
 sition and getting the work started The land owners are an enterprisins
 set of individuals and it is more thai
 probable that they will speedily wOrl
 out their plans and get the association
 on a solid basis

The knee joint and also the hip joint were both thrown out of place. The fall was a very serious one and places her life in rather a dangerous condition. Her eldest daughter, living in California, arrived here Wednesday night in answer to a telegram.
