A PECULIAR ACCIDENT
AUTOMOBILE GOES INTO DITCH
REFUSES TO KEEP ROAD
WITHOUT STEERING

When returning from trip to Long
Prairie Monday evening by automobile,
Frank Kiewel and Andrew Kron beck,
met with peculiar accident which
came very near being more than
serious. The accident happened about
four miles from Swanville. After going
down hill and over a bridge, which
stopped it from going down a sharp
incline.
Mr.. Kiewel, who was driving the car,
cannot account for the accident, as he
says that he does not remember going
down the hill or over the bridge nor
does he know anything Of what hap
pened until he came to, and that he
must have fell asleep or had fainting
spell.
Mr.. Kiewel received a cash on the
scalp and Mr.. Kronbeck has a badly
lacerated lip. The front axle of the
car was badly twisted and the wind
shield was broken. A team Of horses
was procured to pull the car onto the
road and they managed to run the car
to town.

| SUCCESSFUL FAIR
ATTENDANCE WAS GOOD-STOCK.-
JUDGING INTERESTING AND
INSTRUCTIVE ,~r =. -.

The county fair held in Little Falls
last Thursday, Friday and Saturday
was successful one. The cold weather
OF Thursday was rather discouraging,
but with the weather moderating the
attendance on Friday was very good,
and Saturdays attendance was probab-
~ as large as at any other "doingsv
in the city. =;
The judging Of stock was very in
teresting, and visitors stated that this
alone was worth going many miles to
attend.
All the committees and the citizens
and especially Secretary Bergheim, are
to be congratulated on the successful
outcome of the fair.
We had thought we would be able to
print the winners of prizes this week,
but will be unable to do so until our
next issue.
We inadvertently omitted mention
OF the showing by Jchn Vertin of many
products Of the farm that were in
cluded in the exhibit at the state fair,
Which landed second prize. It was a
fine showing.

BEFORE TAX COM
MISSION

L. W. Vasaly and John Vertin re-
turned Wednesday from st. Paul, where
they appeared before the state tax
commission in regard to raise the
commission ordered in the state tax Of
25 per cent on real estate throughout
the couny. It was thought, that the
raise would apply on all taxes, but this
is an error, but would only apply on
that tax levied for the state. Messrs.
vasaly and Vertin state that they
were received, and that possibly a re-
duction would be made in the city, but
by the records Of the counties of the
state shown by the commission it is
not likely that reduction will be al
lowed in the county outside Of the
city.

Finally, to his relief, the teacher

what he had done. In certain tribes
of the Sioux Indians all a man needs
do in order to get wife is to induce
a girl to uncover her face. The agent
had proposed in the usual way-and
been accepted.
In vain did the agent plead that he
already had wife in the east: there
was only one way to get out Of it.
It cost him the equivalent of fourteen
ponies to persuade the Indian girl's
father to take her back again.
