MISSING
Man in CANADA

Hettinger, N. D., July 22.-Andrew
Z. Warsla, a former Adams county
business man who suddenly disappear
ed from these parts early last Febru-
airy, has finally been located, through
the aid of the Burns Detective agency,
on the farm OF N. H. Murray near
Lethbridge, Alta, where he Is employ
ed as a laborer.
Speculation was rife after the disap-
p~earance Of Warsla and SO many stor-
les were atloat that it led to an inves-
tigation by States Attorney Moen.
When seen by the Burns Detective
agency man, Warsla stated he was
contented to remain in Alberta and ex-
pected to do so.
A satisfactory explanation was made
of his disappearance which clears up
a peculiar situation in the minds of the
authorities. He left his business here
at the time in a very unsettled condi-
ton n that will now be settled.

capped death at s o'clock yesterday

scaffold suspended from the root of J.

with the rope hanging below to the
ground, drawing the scaffold suddenly

Paris Finds Accidents Due to Diversi-

hSO NITuS OF SlSHdiSs
New York, July ga cable dis
patch from Paris says that two-thirds
of the street accidents there have been
attributed by experts to the diversity
of sounds used as automobile warn
ings; and that a movement is on foot
to standardize the signals used for
this urpos
Charles Thaddeus Terry, general
counse for the American Automobile
association, and one Of the highest
authorities in the country on auto
mobile legislation, in commenting on
the movement in the French city said
that similar action by. the state legis-
latures Of this country is of the great
est Importance in order to prevent
the rapidly increasing number Of auto
mobile accidents.
"Automobilists generally" said Mr..
Terry. "are convinced that something
must be done in the near future to-
ward the adoption Of a statute which
will require the use of a uniform
signaling device Of a character which
would prevent accidents. 1t Is gen.
orally admitted that many Of the peo-
pie who use the streets are needless
of their w safety, and their atten-
ton. is not now aroused by the many
and divers signals which are used up
on motor vehicles. A statute Is need
ed which will require a uniform signal
which would be easily recognized as
an automobile signal, and one at the
same time which is sufficient to ar
rest the attention Of the needless
pedestrians, without emitting an I'M
reasonable. sound or becoming a nuis-
ance. I personally feel that a statute
which would require as a uniform
signal upon motor vehicles, something
which would emit a sharp, unusual,
broken or ragged sound, staccato and
s~yncopated, which, at the same time Is
not unreasonably loud or long con-
tinued, which could be easily placed
in judging distances and directions.

bushels Of grain that was just being
prepared to be shipped, burned to the
ground Tuesday morning, Manager
krueger and his assistant, Dave Files
worth, of the elevator, barely escaping

OF a lantern held by Kruger who was
looking In n Of the grain bins pre-
paratory to shipment. Although the
town fire apparatus was rushed to the
scene Immediately the blaze was too
well under way to be controlled.
Within an hour the elevator was a
pile of debris as were also two adjacent
coal sheds. The elevator was one of
the first Of it's kind in the state, lum-
Der being imported from Mandan for

storm near here wrought much havoc
On the farm Of Feldman brothers,
