STRUCK BY TRAIN

A copy of the Mason City, Iowa,
Daily Times, of September 4 reaches
us telling Of an accident that befell Mr..
and Mrs. L. E. Hintz, who the paper
says, are residents Of Brookings. No
family Of that name are known here,
but they may live in this county. The
Times says:
"Mr. and Mrs. L. e. Hintz and baby,
Ell route by automobile from Bookings
S. D., their home, for a visit with rela-
tives in Charles City, were struck on
the high graded crossing near Nora
Junction by the Rock Island s o'clock
evening passenger, bound north, when
the engine Of their car stalled, with
the front wheels on the path of the ap-
preaching locomotive. Mr.. Hintz had
removed his wife and child from the
car as the distant toot-of the engine
foretold the oncoming train, and in
the meantime worked and tugged 70
push the machine from the tracks, be-
ing unable to liven up the engine. The
train shrieked down upon him, the en-
gineer signalling frantically, while the
air brakes were set to check the mo-
mentum as much as possible. Hintz
took the one chance too many. He
was standing near the rear of the car
when the locomotive plowed through
it, casting up a shower Of splintered
parts. The train slowed down and
drawn by the creams of his wife, the
crew picked up the unconscious form
and carried him to the C. H. Batter
son Junction restaurant. DR.. Hennely
was called from Nora Springs and
succeeded in restoring the man to con.
seriousness. He was in oblivion for
some thirty minutes. Fortunately the
smash did not leave a very deep i'm
print IN the sole victim, for outside a
cash over one eye and a badly sprain-
ed and bruised side. skinned knuckles
and minor s~brasions, he IL intact from
his experience with the train"

is nearly twice as wide as the one in
the opera house down town and there
will be no handicap in putting on large
productions. In front of the stage is
the orchestra pit, a roomy place for
the musicians where they will not
interfere with the view of the audi
ence. The view of the stage from
every part of the large room is excel.
lent, as there are only four small steel
posts and they are in the ear of the
room. The floors of both the main
auditorium and the gallery are slop.
ing. The acoustic properties have
been tested and found to be excellent.
Fire escapes are provided on the north
and south, on both the main floor and
the gallery.
A space has been provided north OF
the stage for the $4,000 pipe organ
which the alumni will present to the
institution.
Off of the stage on the north are six
small class rooms for the music de.
partment.
On the third floor are the zoology
department and museum and several
large class rooms
The roof of the main building is o.
gravel and tar and the roof over The
auditorium is covered with asbestos.
On the roof a large platform has been
erected and the government has been
asked and will very likely, establish
a weather bureau there.
The contract for the building was
given to the Void & Johnson Com.
pany of Brookings, which is now the
Void Construction Co.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL

Coach Dillon Of the high school
squad has his boys working hard every
evening and they are rapidly getting
into shape. Quite a little new material
has come in this fall and Mr.. Dillon
tells us that he Is going to have a
good team, one that will give any team
in the state a tussle. Mr.. Dillon is
very popular with the boys and they
are naturally working hard for him.
Mr.. Anderson. principal OF the eighth
grade department, is also a foot ball
man and Is rendering valuable coach
ing assistance.

$1,000 WILL Be PAID IN PREMIUMS
SOY Way" the Night Pike on the Fair
Grounds, viii be a Feature-Come
and Enjoy Yourself at the Fair

Brookings county is this year going
to have the greatest fair in its history.
This county is just harvesting one of
the greatest crops in years, in spite OF
drouth and consequent poor crops In
other parts of the country, SO our peo-
pie should feel in the mood to cele-
brate 1913. They ear do this by CON-
ing to the Big County FairS and they
should bring along some samples of
the bountiful harvest. Many strang-
ers will be within our gates during
the week and all this newspaper talk
will not noun to much unless we
have the goods to back 1t up. And we
have the goods to back 1t up, so don't
wait for your neighbor to bring the
stuff in or don't think that the fair Is
nothing but an. amusement venture,
but bring in some samples of your
years labors. The fair association
offers $1,000 in cash premiums, twice
as much as any fair around here, and
you might just as well have a piece
of this money as not.
Don't stay away for fear that there
will be nothing but pigs and pumpkins
for you to look at, for this year Sec
rotary Riley is offering the most stu
pendous, the most alluring, the most
gorgeous line OF attractions that have
baan aun, oatharnd tn0nthnr ttndar
one tent in Brookings county. The
naughty hooche-kooche has been barr
ed, but there will be some other good
things, so maybe we won't miss 1t.
There will be tent shows galore on the
"Joy Way" the big night pike that
starts each evening on the fair grounds
and runs until the crowd beats 1t for
home, 70 you can stay as long as you
like. Bookings Is a goody-good town,
but We have the promise of the cops to
keep both eyes closed and everyone
will be out for a good time. The last
night there will be a masquerade, on
the pike and you can go as far as you
like.
Among the good things offered in
the way Of free attractions are Rollo,
the Limit, who runs down an incline
Of seventy feet on roller skates and
loops the loop in mid-air; Link
Brothers, rough riders; McPhee e
Hill, the great comedy artists; Crazy
House and other good things. There
will be a big bowery dance In a tent,
52x11O, novelty races, fast harness
races and a general good time for
everybody.
The premium lists were late in get
ting out, but it is hoped that it will
not deter the people Of the county
from bringing in their exhibits. Presi-
dent Rudolph wishes us to correct a
couple Of the most glazing errors In
the book. Under the rules and regula-
tons on page Is it says, that all ami
mails or articles for exhibition must
be delivered to the superintendent of
the department before two o'clock p.
m. Tuesday, September IT," The fair
does not start until the 23rd, 81 Of
course this should read September %.
In the ad on page SO telling Of the
drawing for the Sexauer wagon it
states that the drawing will take place
September 20, but this should read
September &c, which is the last day
of the fair.

Mrs. Chas. Severson went to Mime
apolis the latter part of the week to
visit relatives for a week.
Dad Mix did not do very we'll at the
Flandreau races last week, breaking
badly and only getting fourth money.
However, he was in the 2:14 class,
which is pretty fast for a young horse
in a burch of seasoned performers.
H. G. Williams returned home Thurs
day evening from a trip to southern
Iowa, where he closed a deal for the
sale of the John Ross farm north of
quarter north of the college to another
Iowa man. Mr.. Williams this week
purchased the Irish half-section.
The stone work has commenced on
the new government building and the
structure will soon begin to assume
some shape. The work is progressing
slowly as a government inspector is
on the job and everything has to be
done exactly according to specifca-
tons or it has to be torn out and done
over again.
Prof. Albert ]. Willis, who takes the
position as professor of civil engineer
ing at the college, arrived here this
week with his family, and at present
they are staying at A. Glidden's, as
they are unable to rent a house. Prof.
Willis is a graduate of Lehigh univer-
sity, and highly recommended
in his profession.
Mrs. E. j. Steuerwald and daughter
who have been visiting at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.. L. Tree,
for some weeks, left last week for
Minneapolis, where Mr.. Steuerwald
met them with his auto and they went
from there to their home at Virginia,
Mimi. Mrs. Tree accompanied them as
far as the cities and spent a few days
at the fair.
President Rudolph and Secretary
Riley of the fair association, were over
to Flandreau Thursday to attend the
Moody county fair. They report a
splendid fair. with good exhibits and
fine free attractions. Most of the lat
ter will come to our fair and Mr..
Rudolph and Mr.. Riley also secured
a number Of good tent shows to come
here and show on u Joy Way"

whom he said had committed suicide
somewhere near Bookings. No man
of that name has committed suicide
around here, but it might have happen

any of our readers knowing of such an
occurance will confer a favor by notify
ing Mr.. Palmer.
VIM. Grinol's ensilage cutter burst

near White last week and one piece

over a hundred feet. The cutters of
the machine travel 1000 revolutions

or some other defective part they
just naturally rip things to pieces.

ABRAHAM LODGE BANQUET PROVES
 GREAT SUCCESS
Sheriff Hamburger And 9th CT Speakers Arouse Much Enthusiasm Among I. O.. B. B.

Surpasstng' in many ways, any of
 the banquets ever given under the
 auspices of the lodge in the past, the
 annual spring banquet of Abraham
 lodge, I. O. B. B., was given in the
 lodge rooms. in the Franklin building
 last evening, and proved a great suo-
 cess. The attendance was large, the
 menu excellent, and the speechmaking
 exceptionally eloquent. The guests of honor included Sheriff Julius liar
 burger, of New York, Secretary of State Eugene Phillips of Stamford, Rev. Dr. David Levy of the Temple Mishkan Israel, New Haven, Louis M. SagaI of New Haven, Herman Asher,
 first vice president of the order, of New York, and Attorney Benjamin Slade of New Haven.
 The guests who arrived in Bridge port yesterday noon were metsby the reception committee and were taken for an automobile ride around the city and through suburbs, the auto ride terminating at tsWest1awn' the sum ptuous home of Attorney Joshua MeItzer, in Fairfield avenue. Lunch was served here and after lunch the party proceeded to the lodge rooms where an informal reception was held.
 At the banquet which followed the informal reception Sheriff Hamburger was the principal speaker. He proved to be- 10S pounds of 1fve-wire en- thusiasm. and the way he treated his subject, which dealt with conditions coming under his notice. in New York city, fairly carried his audience off its feet. He proved to be most forcefuI speaker and certainly made his audi tors ''sit up and take notice
 Herman Asher, who was the frat speaker on the evenings program confined his remarks to the work be- ing done by the order, and Dr. Levy who followed him spoke of the pres ent day status of the Jewish race in America. Both speeches were excel lent and were listened to with atten- ton and interest. what the Jewish people have accom- pltsFed in the last few years in Con- nectfcut and predicted that they would go on in their work of progress.
 The last and one of the best speeches of the evening was made by Attorney Jacob B. Klein of this city. and he praised the work of the l. O. B. B. in this city and throughout the State.
 Attorney Theodore Stefber made a most efficient toastnaster and the success of the banquet was largely due to his efforts. The chairman of the committee and the l of the committee should be l given credit for the fine way in which l the whole affair was successfully car-i ried out.
 The committee in charge of the ban-l quet was made up as follows: BenJa- min G. Shalet, J. B. Klein, Theodore l Steiber Benjamin Steiber, Philip l G1asner, David Pour, Samuel Me11itz, l Joshua GTeltzer, Max Cohen, sigmund l Henry Greenstein, Max Stein, Harry J. Fox and Frank Ja- colby.
 While in this city, yesterday after noon, the guests were taken to the | county jail, being shown around the institution by Sheriff VoTl1ner and his wife. Sheriff Hamburger highly com pltmented Sheriff Vo1lmer on the way Iai1.
 The guests during their stay in Bridgeport stopped at The Stratde1d.
