Buffalo County Farmer i'm Runaway
Experience.

Kimball, Aug. 4.-Henry Klindt,
a very prosperous and well to do
farmer living about twelve miles
northwest of Gam Valley, Buffalo
county, the next county north of
Brule county, had a very close call
from instant death. Mr.. Klindt was
unhitching his team from a moving
machine and in some way his team
became frightened and ran away,
catching the unfortunate man in such
a manner as to break n of his legs
in several places, cutting a cash in
his head and cutting an ugly cut I'M
der his chin. Klindt finally got
away from the machine, possibly by
being thrown and dragged himself to
the shade of his wagon, a distance of
forty rods and lay without medical
attention from 8 a. M, until 5 p. m,
when John Wells, in an auto, passing
close saw Mr.. KIindt gently wave his
hand. Medical aid was summoned
from Gam Valley and DR.. McManus
reached the injured man in twenty
five minutes by auto and dressed his
wounds and he was brought to Kim
ball and his folks will take him to
Mitchell for treatment. The team,
after the accident got tangled up and
also had to stand from the time the
accident happened until towards
evening.

salt that sells for about " cent a
pound in bulk.
o. S. Jones, the Sioux Falls seeds
man, arrived in the city last evening
by automobile, returning home today
accompanied by Mrs. j. w. Moffitt.
Mr.. Jones bought the same property
forty acre farm neal the south city
limits of Sioux Falls for a considera-
ton of $500 per acre. Two years ago
Mr.. oJnes bought the same property
at $3.50 per acre. This forty acre
farm has been used by the seed COM
pany, but a 400 acre farm in Mime
haha county has been acquired by the
company and in addition to raising
seeds for their house, Mr.. Jones will

NEUTRALITY
WILL Be OBSERVED
Administration Ready to Help
Out in All Difficulties Due
to Crisis Abroad.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President
Wilson has appealed to the people
of the United States to remain calm
during the war in Europe. He de-
clares the United States owes 1t to
mankindn to help the rest of the world
during the present crisis.
A proclamation of neutrality, Mr..
Wilson said, will be issued as soon as
it can be completed by the state de-
partment. He does not believe there
will be any necessity for congress to
remain in session because of the sit
uation in Europe.
Presiden Wilson told callers the
United States had not made any of
fer to s it's good Offices to bring
about peace In Europe. He said he
had not heard of a suggestion by the
queen of Holland that the United
States unite with her country to Of
fer mediation.
The president declared the United
States could gain great and perma-
nent glory during the present trouble
providing no one lost his head.
The president urged that nothing
be done in America TO add to the ex.
element of the world. There Is sure
to be inconvenience to the financial
institutions of the country, he told
the callers. but he added that the adj
ministration Is fully prepared to help
out all dincuities. He urged that no
oredence be given to unconirmed re-
ports of a sensational nature.
The president declared there is
no cause for any serious alarm In the
United States. The administration
is bending every effort, he said, to-
ward getting ships to carry the food
stuffs and other products of the Unit
ed States to all the world and to bring
home Americans stranded in Europe.

THE FIRE FIEND
Work Horrible Havoc i'm the Burning
of c. NJ. KIotzbach's Livery Barn
Two Men and Twenty-Seven
Horses Cremated.

At 1910 this morning Marshal
Davis rang the fire alarm which call
ed Madison citizens to the worst con-
%flagration which has ever visited the
city. The fire was in the livery barn
of c. M. KIotzbach, and had a big
start in the hay loft when discovered
by Marshal Davis. The firemen quick
ly responded to the call and the water
from the mains vas turned on, but
as these were not in proper working
order no force could be obtained. So
quickly did the fire spread to every
corner of the great barn that nothing
could be done to save it.
The saddest and most horrible fea-
ture of the whole catastrophe was the
loss of two human lives-that of
James Darby and Isaac Bitworth-
the employees of Mr.. Klotzbach in
charge of the barn at the time. The
men. as their remains afterwards
taken out would indicate, had been in
bed in the northeast part of the barn
on the ground floor and when aroused
by suffocation, Darby apparently
made an effort to escape with a blan-
ket over his head, but fell in his
tracks before reaching the room door,
while Bitworth probably never awoke
as lie lay with his limbs drawn up
where the bed had burned down.
So far as the origin of the fire Is
concerned it is still a mystery. AS
the whole east end interior was
afame when first discovered and in
stantly TIE entire interior, it is dif-
ticult to say where the fire startec.
Some think the southwest corner, but
others who tried to reach the men
first mink il must have started in the
east or southeast part. A team had
been returned to the barn about
1870 D. m, by Rev. j. p. Jenkins
and another at 1915 a. m, by some
one else, which the stablemen a
attended to, and within half an hour
of putting up the latter team the
barn was ahame and the men had
lost their lives.
At a time when the men could not
be reached at the east end, several
men had cut loose and were trying
to get the horses out at the rear or
west end of the barn, but the animals
were stupid or unmanageable n
only one out of the twenty-eight in
the barn could be saved. A span of
mules and two horses in the small
barn to the real were gotten out.
Mr.. Klotzbach estimates his entire
loss by the fire at a little over
i 5000, on which he had not a cent
of insurance.

SEE AMERICA FIRST.

When it is said, by Enos A. Mills,
appointed forest agent by President
Roosevelt, and one Of the most earnest
of conservati0nists, that the country is
neglecting its opportunities in this par
ticular, the statement must not be
taken altogether literally If he
means, however. that the most has not
been made as yet out Of the magnii
cent national domain. he is simply stat
ing fact. Many of the great national
parks are still in their wild state.
Large parts Of them are not accessible
TO visitors OF the ordinary type. There
are stretches in practically all Of the
national parks which can lie safely
penetrated only by the skilful explorer
On the other hand really wonderful
progress has been made in some of
them in the matter of opening 40 trails
and roads and providing shelters and
hotels. The youngest and one OF the
widest and most picturesque Glacier
park-aifords a striking example of
what may be done through combination
between public and private capital.
Mr.. Mills is right, ana those who
speak for him are on firm ground when
they insist that scenery in other parts
of the world which attracts tens Of
thousands Of visitors annually is often
not to be compared with that upon
which citizens of the United States in
search Of natural beauty are prone to
turn their backs. Mr. Mills has added
10 the dictum See America First the
amendment. "Get America Ready to
BE Seer. Doubtless there is wisdom
in this.
Thousands OF tourists send vast sums
OF money annually cross to Switzerland
from the United States because, in ad-
dition to its beautiful scenery, SwitZer
land also offers certain tourist refine
ments and comforts; the United States
has scenery to offer equal to any to be
found elsewhere on the globe, but il
has not yet provided all the access
series demanded by tourists. 1t is
working rapidly 10 this end; it has
done wonders in decade; in another
decade at tie present ratio of progress
il will have done for the Businesses of
the Rockies all that Switzerland has
yet done for the Alps. Christian
