COLLISION CAUSES LAWSUITS
Three Follow Clash Between Auto
and Horse and Buggy
Some Excitement.

Fergus Falls.-Some excitement has
been created in the northern part
of the county by a collision between
an automobile, alleged to have been
driven by Ray and Roy Jardine OF
Winnipeg and buggy driven by Rolf
Tones of the town of Dunn. The Jar
dimes, with their cousins, Ernest and
Richard Brock, and other relatives
are spending the summer at the lakes
in Dunn township. Tones claims he
was driving quiet horse along the
road when the Jardines ran into him
with their auto. He brought suit for
$1,000 damages for personal injuries
and $275 for the damage to his horse
and buggy.
Fearing that the defendants would
return to their Canadian home, he at
tached the automobile. Sheriff Bill
ings seized the auto and placed it In
the barn of Charles S. Marden, the
attorney who is bringing the suit.
Yesterday word came that Ernest
and Richard Brock had taken forcible
possession of the auto and were head
ing lOT Sdudud. Su6TlH blllluSS d.
once went after them, but they went
only to Detroit, where the sheriff, who
had been notified, again took posses
sion of it. Sheriff Billings arrived
on the scene soon afterward and ar
rested both of the young men. They
claimed the machine belonged to
Nora Jardine and, as she had made
affidavit of ownership, they thought
they had the right to take it. Their
fines and costs here amounted to $50,
and Shelf Billings again took pos
session of the machine, chained it and
locked it up, and took out the start
ing key to prevent a second attempt
to get away with it.
Meantime, Mrs. Marden claims that
Ernest and Richard Brock treated
her roughly when she attempted to
prevent them from taking it from the
barn, and she has brought suit for
$1,000 damages. Counter suits for
malicious prosecution may also be-
started.

CUTS OFF HIS OWN FOOT
Bible Treatment Given Offending
Member by Aged Farmer-Con-
vinced 1t Had Sinned.

Canandaigua, N. Y.-After much
reading in the Bible to find the pun
ishment for the sin he was certain he
had committed, Isaac Bassett, a sew
enty-five-year-old farmer, living on the
italian hills" discovered the passage:
"If thine eye offend thee, pluck it
out" and, accepting the scriptural in
junction literally, proceeded to cut on
his left foot at the ankle, using no
other instrument than his jackknife.
Bassett, great churchgoer and an
ardent student of the Bible, never
knew what pain was. while physicians
were utter strangers to him. In dane
ing a little jig one day, to show sew
eral neighbors how lightly his seventy
five years sat on his shoulders, he
stubbed the great toe of his left foot.
The member soon began to swell
and became very painful, whereupon
the aged man, without any knowledge
Of the nature Of the ailment or OF
surgery, took out his knife and cut it
of.
But the swelling and pain spread
to the entire foot, aud the victim, now
fully believing that this was a punish
ment for his dancing, looked up the
"cure" in his Bible, then prepared for
the operation.
Washing his foot, the old man got
out his knife, cut into the ankle bone,
disjointed this, then finished the work
of severing the member. doing the
job almost as cleanly as surgeon
would He now hobbies around free
from pain and is convinced that he
has atoned for his sin.
