SOUTHARD DIES
ATDAYTON OHIO
FORMER WILLISTON LAND MAN
MEETS DEATH AT WRIGHT
PROVING GROUND

Dayton, Ohio, May 21.-Failure to
heed the warnings Of his instructors
led Frederick J. Southland, an aviation
student of Minneapolis, to his death
on Simmons field today. Six minutes
after Southland had risen in his first
flight alone his motor stopped, the
machine turned turtle and he plunged
100 feet to the ground. He was
crushed under the wreckage Of tho
aeroplane.
Mr.. Southland was killed in his own
machine. After several weeks of in
struction he had purchased the ma
chine of Wright Brothers. Wright
aviators had taught him, but he had
never flown alone and he had been
forbidden to fly unaided until he had
further instructions
Warned of Danger.
His ambition got the better of him
and, rising at 6 a. M. today, he went
to the Simmons station, where the
flights are conducted, in company
with a mechanician. The mechani-
clan advised him not to attempt .
fight, but he forced open the doors
of the hangar and took out the aero
plane. He took his seat on the ma
chine and started the motor.
The aeroplane rose, but when 100
feet in the air turned turtle and
plunged downward. Southard was
killed instantly.
Orville Wright, explaining the acci-
dent, said Southard had risen too rap
idly and that the ascent had stopped
the motor.
GraphicSpecial
Minneapolis, May 21.-Fred J. Sou
thard met death in aeroplane acci-
dent at Dayton, Ohio, at a. m. today,
machine turning turtle while 100 feet
in the air. Southard was crushed be-
meath machine and killed instantly.
He was making his first flight alone
against instructions Of Wright Bros.
Interment at Benton, Michigan. Mrs.
Southard has left for Dayton.
The above telegram received Tues
day evening was the first news re-
ceived by this city Of the fatal ending
to the aviation efforts of it's former
citizen. Southard came to this city
in 1906 and resided here, doing land
and loan business, until the spring of
1911 when he removed to Minneapolis.
swell good bye Fred, this will be
the last time l see you if you are
entering aviation" "Not much, I'll fly
into Williston from Minneapolis one
of these days see if l don't" The
above conversation took place be-
tween Fred Southard and a Williston
man then in Minneapolis about the
first of April when Southard was
starting Off Ohio to begin the first
lessons in aviation.
Southard at that time went on to
say he had purchased one of the best
makes of Wright machines at the cost
of about four thousand dollars and ex-
pected to make flying regular busi-
ness.

SOME CARNATIONS
H. w. Buckbee and Wife Of Illinois
in the City

H. w. Buckbee and wife Of Rock
ford, Illinois, were in the city this
week, Mr.. Buckbee coming on one of
his regular land inspection trips to
look over the dirt he owns in this
section.
He is the proprietor of one Of the
largest seed houses in the world which
is located at Rockford. Some idea Of
the magnitude of the green houses
may be gained from the statement
that few days ago the company put
out 10000 carnations. Forty acres
in California is devoted to the grow
ing of sweet peas for seed alone for to
supply the demands Of this seed house
Mr.. Buckbee will make another trip
here in about month.

FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT

FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT ,.
The Finance Committee of the State
Firemen's Tournament must raise $1,000
within the next ten days to defray the ex-
pense of entertaining the State Firemen in
the city the 18th, 18th and 18th of June.
Five hundred dollars of this amount is
necessary for the required prize money
guaranteed in order to secure the tourna-
ment. The balance is needed for barbe-
cue, band contest prizes, bronco busting,
automobile, horse and other races, tents,
halls, cots and sleeping accommodations,
advertising, ball games, banquet and Fire
mems Ball.
In making this appeal to the people of
Williston, the Finance Committee draw at
tention to the following facts:
The firemen of Williston have, given
years of faithful service in fighting fires.
These services have been given absolutely
without pay In l8 below zero weather
they have fought fire all night in order to
save and protect the property of others.
They have now invited the fremen of the
State to spend three days here as their
guests. In aiding them to do this we are
simply making small partial payment for
services rendered. This much for the
Firemen.
Never before, with the exception of the
Editors convention, has Williston had such
an opportunity to show its, advantage to the
people of North Dakota. To have 1900 or
more of the young men of the State here
for three days is a big thing for the City of
Opportunity. It is an opportunity we must
make the most of. To have them return
home with friendly feeling toward our
city is the biggest advertisement we could
have. Williston has state wide reputa-
ton for hospitality which must be main
tained And there are many other reasons
why the fremen should be supported by
every citizen in the city and why the city
itself should make the tournament the
most memorable event held in the State.
The way to do this is to help the Finance
Committee in their work and give what
ever your circumstances will allow. Give
it gladly and with good wish for their
success

Wheat Likely To Go Higher
In Price.

As the days go by and it is learned
from different sections of the country
that the fly has done damage not only
in Maryland, but in various other parts
of the country. it begins to appear that
wheat will command a phenominally
high price before the crop has been
distributed to the elevators.
One thing seems certain; the Ameri-
can population has grown faster than
the available acreage of wheat. while
at the same time. as is pretty generally
we'll known, the European acreage has
no possibility of increasing outside of
Russia.
Delegates at the Baltimore Conven-
ton brought reports from the west to
the effect that the fly in several States
there had materially damaged the crop
of wheat, and that the yield will not be
as large as usual. If these reports be
true, short crop both east and west
will certainly mean high prices.

Old Magistrates Step Down

The Court of Appeals decided We'd
nesday that the justices of the peace
appointed by Governor Goldsborough,
but who were not confirmed by the
Senate, are entitled to hold Office.
The opinion sets forth that the terms
of the justices Of the peace are for two
years, that those of the old justices ex-
pired at midnight on May last and that
the Governor is given power under the
Constitution to fill vacancies.
The case was brought under mandamus
proceedings by James ID. Feldmeyer and
Dennis Claude, who were appointed as
magistrates Tor Annapolis to succeed
John ~ Davis and John b. Wells: and
Frank Wolfram, appointed to succeed
John T.. Potee. at Brooklyn. The County
Commissioners of Anne Arundel county
and DIR. George Wells. clerk of the
court, were made defendants.
The Anne Arundel County Court de-
cided in favor Of the old magistrates,
but this decision was oyerruled.
When told of the opinion Governor
Goldsborough said
II am pleased that my course has
been sustained. Before taking my stand
studied the law and Constitution bear
ing upon the question and was convinced
that had the power to name justices
of the peace in all cases where the SEN
ate did not confirm or reject my appoint
ments. Acting under this decision every
man who was appointed justice and
whose appointment was not acted upon
by the Senate will now take up his
duties.
The difference between the appoint
ment of Magistrates and the appoint
ment of Members of the School Board
or Election Supervisors, is that the
Magisterial Office is created by the Con-
stitution and the powers of the Cover
nor are defined. In the other cases the
Legislature created the places and has
the power to name the method of APP
polntment.
