HUNTERS HAVE THRILLING
ACCIDENT EXPERIENCES

party consisting of Noble Holyig. q
Adamek, G. A. Robbins, Charles Car
rison and Weston Penor had a narrow
escape from serious injury when tha
automobile in which they were riding
became unmanageable through an ac-
5cident to the steering gear, ran into =
wire fence, collided with a post and
turned over, pinning two men under
the car and hurting the other three
headlong and with great violence to
the ground.
All the occupants were stunned ex-
.cept Noble Helvig, who gained his
feet Immediately after sliding along
the roadside for several rods. The
sight which met his eyes as he got IN
and looked about him was far from
agreeable. The car was bottom side
up with wheels still turning; Robbins
was lying motionless on the ground
with blood pouring from his nostrils:
Adamek lay PROSTATE beside the car;
Penor was pinned beneath it with head
and arms visable. His eyes were
bulged and rolling and his tongue
hung out. Garrison was completely
under the auto. Helvig spoke to Rob-
bins, but received no RESPONSE; then.
fearing the car would take fire with
the two men helpless beneath it, he
ran to the machine and, with the aid
Of Adamek, who was now able to help,
righted the heavy car and freed his
companions. The other men soon re-
gained consciousness and, with the ex-
ception of Penor, who may be injured
internally, all escaped serious hurt and
came into Meadow in the battered car.

possible world tour of the New York
Giants and the Chicago White Sox
baseball teams, which is to be held i'm
mediately after the worlds series this

end in view G. S. Mcdonald, of this
city, wrote Charles Comisky. owner Of
the White Sox, asking for particulars
and in reply was informed that a
guarantee Of $1,000 would be required.
1t is thought such a guarantee could
be secured and it is virtually certain
chat the gate receipts at the game
would Justify making the guarantee.
The proposition is still in the en-
bryo as the tour has not been definitely
decided upon as yet and even if it is

COMMISSION HAS POWER
TO CLASSIFY PROPERTY

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 27.-Attorney Cen
eral johnson has ruled that the tax
commission has the power and au-
thority, and it is the duty of Che conf
mission to arrange and classify the
items for all property in such groups
and classes and from time to time
change and separate or consolidate the
same as it may deem advisable for Sc
curing more accurate information con-
corning and more perfect listing and
valuation of all property of the state.
The holding is on a short sentence
in chapter 352, section 8 of the 1917
tax commission law. and Johnson fur
ther states this statute is the last ex-
preston of the legislature on the sub
ject and its provisions are plain and
unambiguous. Insofar as prior statutes
are in conflict with it they are re-
pealed." The matter came up from
kicks to the commission from various
parts of the state concerning some OF
the old code provisions, which are APP
parently in conflict with portions of the
new tax commission law, and upon
which some citizens took issue with
the commission upon their rearrange-
ment of items to secure this years val
uation on property.
