AUTO EXPERIENCE
CLOSE CALL OF SIOUX FALLS
PARTY RETURNING HOME
FROM MADISON.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: IAN
automobile party consisting of Mr..
and Mrs. c.. G.. Coats, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Scott and Mrs. c. II. Place, ar
rived home this morning from a trip
to Madison. The return trip fur
nished all the thrills that any of the
party wanted and in fact was a little
too strenuous. On the return trip,
Mr.. Coats who was driving his new
Cadillac, got from the regular road
from Madison to Sioux Falls and the
party found themselves headed for
Dell Rapids. When about twelve
miles west of Dell Rapids they ran
into a section of country that had
been visited by a tremendous down
pour the night before and the roads
were, in poor shape. Finally they
reached a narrow stretch of road that
was on a dump about five feet high,
with ponds of water On each side.
Approaching a mud puddle in the
road, Mr.. Coats put on extra power,
believing that he could get through
all right. The car skidded and came
near going over the bank. When the
car was stopped one hind wheel was
over the embankment and the front
wheel on the same side within a few
inches of the edge of the bank. Aid
was secured and it was impossible to
get the auto out with the aid of three
teams of horses. The entire party
was forced to remain at a nearby
farm house over night, and this
morning it required the aid of a
housemoving outfit to get the ma
chine out of the mud and onto firm
ground.
Had the machine gone over the
embankment ii is likely that al
| would have lost their lives as the tor
| was up and there was about five fee
of water in the ditch on the side
| where the automobile skidded.

BARN RllRhfn.

The large barn Of j. D. Ora bill, bi
North Main street, was burned last
Saturday about noon. They were
shredding fodder at the time. 1t is
supposed that the fire was the result
of gravel passing through the ma
chine and blow pipes. The barn at
the time was filled with dust which
ignited like powder and spread the
flames almost instantly over the
upper part of the barn. The fire COM
pany was on hand promptly and by
their efforts saved the lower part of
the building, in damaged condition
and prevented the fire from reaching
other buildings close to the barn.
Besides the building, some i've or six
tons of hay, 3 hay-fork and guam
tity Of fodder were destroyed.
At the time, the fire was first dis
covered, there were ten head of mules
and horses in the stables, but they
were promptly gotten out before the
fire reached that part OF the barn.
The loss is partly covered by insur-
ance in companies represented by M,
w. Magruder.
The foresters and students Of Massa-
nutten Academy rendered valuable
assistance.
In spite Of the fact that the hay and
corn fodder were Inundated with water,
fire broke out on Sunday morning at
6 O'Clock, on Monday at noon and on
Monday night at IL O'Clock.

Proclaimed Them to Be the
: Cause of Consumption.
Bears Emulsion Builds Up Body
Keeps Germs from Getting
in Action.

III ACtiO0s
Being discovered some years ago
by Robert Koch, distinguished Ger
man scientist, that consumption was
caused by the action OF a typical germ
that is breathed into the body of any
human being, and that it can only
stay with those that allow their sys-
ITEM to run down by the action of some
other disease. When you are il the
weak state is the time the germ is
most effective. No appetite, loss OF
sleep, nerves in bad condition, pains
ali through the body, then it is time
to take Bears Emulsion which will
build up your system ard take it from
the ravages of this germ. Even the
little hacking cough Or tickling in the
throat often means much more than
one would think. Don't neglect it,
one OR two bottles of Bears Emulsion
offers complete relief. One or two
consumption germs will give you con-
sumption and if you don't watch you
will be added to the list that GO to
make so many deaths in one year.
Bears Emulsion is only one dollar
bottle or SIX bottles for five dollars.

Let Us Have a Well Organized
Fire Company.

Great uneasiness about the condi
ton of the hose, while a barn was
burning, last Saturday was manifest.
The hose now on hand, it is said
have been in use longer than the time
for which they were warranted. The
fire department need new hose and the
town needs new fire department. We
should have we'll organized COM
pany under the charge of officers who
would be quick to perform their
duties. The town council, we are in.
formed, is ready to make the neces-
sary appropriation, when the matter
is properly presented by the officers
Of the fire department.
We have fairs and benefits for other
objects, why not get the ladies in.
terested in having large bazaar for
the benefit of the Fire Company Ev-
erybody would be interested and feel
that he would be a beneficiary.
Our success in fighting fires is due
in great measure to our excellent
water system, which with its pressure
of ITO lbs. to the square inch is always
ready to do its part.
Some members of the fire company
are excellent fire fighters and do good
work at every fire but if they were
supported by a good organized com
pany when only those having author
ity would be permitted to give orders,
their efficiency would be greatly in
creased.
1t matters not how efficient are our
fire fighters or how excellent is our
water works or how great is the pres
sure, if the hose are not kept in per-
feet condition, our town is liable to be
destroyed by fire.
