Rochester, Mimi, August 15.-More
than five hundred farmers, of Ohm
sted county voiced protest against
the proposed construction of roads in
this county under the Elwell law at
public hearing held at the court
house, yesterday. Prior to the off
cial meeting, the farmers gathered
on the court house square to out
line plans of battle
They are backed by organizations
in practically every township and
have employed legal counsel to as.
sist them in resisting attempts to
construct roads.
Senator Elwell, father of the FL
well law, was present at the hearing
and advised the farmers. answering
volley of questions fired at him.
The entire day was spent in hearing
the expressions of the farmers.
It was alleged that four of the
signers of one petition had with.
drawn their names, making that petit
ton without the legal requirement.
During the day remonstrance
against the construction of the pro-
posed roads was presented with O.
200 signatures.
The proposition to construct high
ways under the Elwell law. fostering
a movement for the construction of
a concrete road from Stewartville to
Rochester and then to ST. Paul, has
created intense feeling in the county,
and the farmers have worked dill
gently to prevent any effort to bond
the county.

When az big touring car he was
driving pitched over fifty-foot en-
bankment near the state hospital at
late hour last Saturday night, L.
R. Durant, a Minneapolis chauffeur,
had miraculous escape from death
says the st. Peter Herald. He was
whirled about like puppet as he
chung to the machine, which turned
over several times in making the
descent, but he escaped literally
without a scratch. A perfectly good
straw hat he wore was ruined, but
this was the extent of the damages
to Durant.
The car was the property of Mrs.
F. A. Anderson of Minneapolis, and
she and her aunt were the only pas
sengers. They were enroute from
Minneapolis to Mankato. Leaving st.
Peter, by reason of their failure to
understand the directions given
them, they failed to make the turn
at the Kasota road, and continued
on past the state hospital.
Had Lost Their Way.
AT the foot of the hill south of
the hospital Durant, who was. driv-
ing the car, turned to the right, but
when he discovered that another
hill was directly ahead he became
convinced that he had lost his way.
1t was then decided to return to ST.
Peter, but Durant advised the ladies
to alight before he attempted to
ascend the hill, which they did.
He had partially completed the
climb of the hill, which is a short
distance from the dwelling occupied
by Peter Borsch, head farmer at the
hospital, when his lights went out
and in the darkness he ran the car
too close to the edge of the bank. 1t
gave way under the weight of the
machine, and the big car rolled to
the bottom of the ravine. Arriving
there, Durant calmly crawled out
from under the wreck, rejoining the
ladies, and with them walked to st.
Peter to. report the accident.
j.. M Wheels In The Air.
John Dondelinger was engaged to
recover and repair the car, and when
he drove to the scene of the acct
dent Sunday morning he found the
machine lying at the foot of the de-
clevity with it's wheels in the air. 1t
was righted after some difficulty,
and brought back to the city. The
Car, which was sixty-horsepower
Mitchell, was considerably damaged.
Both of the wheels on the left side
were bent and twisted, the wind shield
and top were torn off, the steering
| wheel broken and the. body scratch
ed. The, owner had expected that
it would be found a total wreck, and
, was somewhat surprised to learn
that it could be repaired.
