When we speak of the folding egg

"Altho I have some fine fruit on my
land and others are growing the finest

there is very poor market for the
fruit and much of it lies rotting on the

BAD AUTO
ACCIDENT
At TACUS
PARTY ON WAY FROM DONNY-
BROOK TO TAGUS NARROWLY
ESCAPED BEING BADLY HURT.

Tagus, n. D., Oct. 9.--What might
have been a fatal accident occurred
Wednesday morning when an auto
containing seven people left the grade
on the road two miles east of Tagus
and lay on it's side in nearly two feet
of water. The party were on their
way from Donnybrook to Tagus, and
consisted of Henry Johnson, his wife
and three children, Mrs. l.. w. Wieman
and Mrs. S. c.. Watts. Where the acct
dent took place the road is narrow and
very soft and the heavy car soon sank
in the mud on one side of the road
turning on it's side and throwing the
occupants into the water. The ladies
and children were given dry clothing
at the home Of CLAUS Peterson, and
came to Tagus later in the day. The
ear was not injured. Had the car been
going at high speed it probably would
have turned completely over when it
left the grade and the people who would
have been confined under it would have
been drowned. This is the second car
to go into the ditch at this grade this
season.
