AUTO WENT OVER BANK.
Driver Jumped; Machine Was Smashed I;
Another Auto and Team Saved

Oregon apples and nursery cucumbers
are scarcer than farmhelp, according to
market reports. but the thoughts of
Il. Mcpherson Laws, proprietor of the
New England Fruit store, were not
largely concerned with the price of sea-
sonable green stuff, fulvid plums or sue
culent persmmons as he came down
Wellington street hill in Stanley run
about Saturday afternoon at l 80 O'clock
Mr.. Laws was bowling along the incline
at comfortable rate when he spied
an automobile posted at the head of
Elm street at the base of the hill. and
coming mp Summer street was a team.
After hastily reviewing the theory of
chance, MIR. Laws decided that the mild
est of chances evil dispensations would
bring his machine into direct and sud
den contact with one or the other of
the two vehicles in his path.
Shouting to the man in the automo-
bile below to clear the track, the driver
did his level best to avert the immineney
OF collision by vigorously applying the
brakes. Fortuitously, some functional
mechanism of the machine refused to
respond and Mr.. Laws was presently
aware that his last attempt to slow
down was unavailing, for the reverse
brake also resented pressure.
Exerting the little control possible
over the velocity OF the mercurial ma
chine, Mr. Laws frightened his grasp
on the level used in place of wheel
to steer the runabouts and whisked it
to one side of the road and near the
brink of the bank which skirts the hill,
seven feet high at that point. Just as
the car shot out over the edge of the
granite wall, the driver who entertained
small desire to figure as the principal
in a Microscopic examination, jumped
from his position at the lever. Almost
in that moment the machine struck the
ground, and when Mr.. Laws picked him.
self up. took stock of his injuries and
found them negligible. he went to the
il-starred car and discovered that one
of the rear wheels had been shattered,
while the front axle was badly bent.
Yesterday the owner of the car stated
that $50 would cover the loss. Persons
who witnessed the misadventure. say
that direful accident was almost in
evitable had the car reached the base of |
the hill, and no one attempted to gain |
say the wisdom of Mr.. Laws quickly |
formed plan to forestall serious col
ision and probable loss of life.

Oct. MADAM schumann- Heink.

If you are a habitual concert goer,
says The San Francisco Chronicle,
you must have noticed that there are
two great classes of public performers,
those VIII step out on the platform
with all their intended effects prepar-
ed beforehand, and those who allow
their moods to develop spontaneously
before the audience. The artist Of the
cut and dried type usually ignores the
audience as much as possible and cul-
tivates q certain aloofness. The spon-
taneous sort carry IN a sort of music
conversation which has a personal ap-
peal to every one within hearing.
Madame Schumann-Heink manages
to establish the charming atmosphere
OF intimacy between the stage and the
stalls which allows every ticket hold
err to indulge in the illusion that music
is being made for him. The coming of
Schumann-Heink to the Fargo opera
house next week marks a distinct
epoch in the musical history of our
city. 1t is always difficult to write of
this woman with the "God-given"
voice and magnetic personality, but
the foregoing probably more than
anything else which has been written
about this marvellous vocalist explains

The Chocolate Soldier was at the

that 1t a been seen in Fargo on
two former occasions accounted no
doubt for the rather limited audience.
The presentation was generally ac-
ceptable. The Chocolate Soldier
abounds in tuneful and catchy music,
but 1T lacks action. The first act is
especially dull in this respect. Miss
Rena Smith succeeded admirably in
the leading part. She has a very
