TWO ARE KILLED
FOUR INJURED
OF :. P. Wards Base Ball Team
While Returning From q
a Game In Colorado
OSCAR RINDERMAN And WIFE
Also Have a Marrow Escape FROM
a Serious Accident at Same
Place and Time

The Ordway, Colorado. New
Era of last Friday contains an
account of fatal accident that
occurred near that city in which
two members of L. P. Wards
base ball team lost their lives and
four others were injured.
1T all happened after the game
was over and Mr.. Wards team
was returning to their homes in
autos. The car in which Mr. Ward
and his family, and his wife's
father and mother. Mr.. and Mrs.
oscar Rlnderman, recently of this
City. also had very narrow es-
cape, put fortunately they were
not injured.
The New Era says the autos
had just left the ball grounds,
starting for home when a pass
enger train on the Cheraw branch
OF the Santa Fe dashed into one
OF the automobiles. of which
there were six in all. The car
driven by Homer Bryant and car
rylng II. P. Ward and his family,
and his wife's father and mother.
was Just ahead. and as it was
crossing the railroad track the
driver and passengers saw the
train bearing down upon them
and Mr.. Ward waved back to the
car behind. but it was too late. In
an instant the car following had
struck the crossing and was in
stantly dashed to pieces by the
or rushing train.
Two OF the occupants, Reube,:
linn. one of the best known
young men of Ordway, right field
player in the team, and "Tony''
Peters, a printer. foreman of the
m1echanical department of the
New Era office, were almost in
stantly killed, and their bodies
and limbs horribly crushed and
Drulsed. The, injured were Chas.

SWIMMING POOL NEEDED
Dangers From Bathing In River
Makes One Necessary

The frequent sad ending of the
lives of persons bathing in the
river here seems to make it not
only advisable but necessary that
Wahpeton should have a public
bathing place. or swimming pool,
which could be looked after and
cared for at public expense for a
small fee that would make it self
supporting. Too many precious
lives are being lost in the river
to take chances on its further use
for bathing purposes, and no fur
ther chances should be taken for
the mere pittance that a public
bath house would cost.
is almost as natural for boys
ana young men to want to go
swimming where there is. a river,
as it is for a duck to do so. and
our river is too treacherous and
dangerous a stream to be used
for that purpose, as the long list
OF lives already lost in it will full
ly attest.
It would be so easy to have a
public bath house or swimming
pool that the wonder is that we
did not have one here long ago.
Island P ark offords an excellent
SPOT for one that would be con-
venient to both cities. and the
cost would be small. Trihing fees
for those who use the "bathing
beach" would sustain it and think
OF the benefit to health and the
saving. of lives. In case Brecken-
ridge does. not care to go in with
US in establishing place Of this
kind. then let us have one of our
own on land that belongs to the
city, down in Horseshoe Park.
dhls is certainly a matter of suf-
ficient importance to be discussed
by the commercial club and it
should be brought before it at
once.
Some safe and convenient place
for public bathing is almost a ne
cessity and is Of equal import
ance to the people Of both cities.
Gentlemen of the Commercial
Club. what do you say?

WAHPETON WINS
BOTH BALL GAMES
Taking Saturdays Game From

From Wheaton
SATURDAYS GAME GOOD One
sut Sunday Was an OF Day and

urday's game from the Indians hv
score of 8 to 1. and Sundov,ss'
game from Wheaton by a score
~ - TO no: Saturdays game was
the the real tillng. much better than
llle score might indicate, but
eaa.iiuay s,a. game was considerably
on color: 1t makes no difference

ana then have its off days and
alpeton was troubled that wav
last sunday. But if you missed
saaurdays game you missed
The Indians were without tbo
services of Jordan, their star
catcher, who was doing the re-
celvlng for Wahpeton, but thew
put up a stubborn fight and had
me breaks of the game been a
iittle more partial to them, there
might have been a different story
10 tell. selke, who was in the
box for Wahpeton, was in his us
ual good form, getting twelve men
ON the air route, besides fielding
MS position perfectly.
Root Gilles at third had a yerv
Sood day except for one bad peg
70 1lrst, stopping several bad
throWS to his position by blocking
cleverly.
The game Sunday between
Mheaton and Wahpeton was a
slugfest mixed with errors and
bad Judgment. Wheaton's team
was composed mostly of high
school players from that town
and therefore We're no match for
the Wahpeton team, although
they scored ten runs off of Mar
um. The only feature of this game
was the hitting of Red Holman.

RIVER CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Little Frank Gordon Goes IL
Bathing at tho Deep Sandbar
And is Drowned
BODY CARRIED 10 MILES
Away BY the Swift Current and
Not Recovered Until Four
Days Afterwards

The deep sandbar Just off the
east end of Horseshoe Park was
the scene of another tragic event
last Wednesday evening Just af-
ter the Times had gone to press.
Little Frank Gordon, the nine
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. L.
z. Gordon. who reside on Utah
ave.. had gone to the river after
his dismissal from school and in
company with several other boys
OF near his own age had gone in
bathing. But he had not vet
learned to swim, and neither had
any of his companions, and get
ting beyond his depth the swift
under current at that point quick
ly carried him off his feet and he
disappeared from sight, never to
be seen alive again.
HIS little companions being
unable to be of any assistance
themselves ran with ali their
rie and Sheriff Budack. with a lot
OF other men hurried to the spot
and diligent search was at once
instituted for the body, but it
could not be found. The search
was continued all night and next
day but to no purpose. Nets were
spread in the river, it was thought
lar, enough down to catch the
body If it reached them, but the
current was swifter than was
supposed and the body appears
to have been already carried be-
low. Not until Sunday afternoon
was body discovered, floating at
the top of the water opposite the
vculek farm four miles north of
the city as the crow flies and per-
haps fifteen miles away following
the bends of the river. II was ta-
ken in charge by an undertaken
and conveyed to the city.
The Gordon family only last
fall came here from South Dako-
ia. having bought farm north
east of Breckenridge. but resided
in this city in order to take ad-
vantage Of our schools for their
children. The home was on
Utah ave., but at the time of the
sad accident the father was at
work on the farm and had to be
notified by phone and messenger.
while the. mother almost craZed
with grief at the home mourned
deeply over the sudden loss of her
bright little boy.
The funeral took place from
the CONGREGATIONAL church Tues
day afternoon and was attended
by a deeply sympathizing people
and the whole city feels very
deeply for the parents i'm their
hour of deepest sorrow. The fun
eral sermon was preached by Rev.
Mr.. SeWrey.

teams.
Keep Your Lights Burning
After sunset you must
have two lights in front and
one behind. Don't overlook
this.
Turning on the Street
Turn only at the intersec-

they shine. No one has
right To use a light so strong
that it intcrferes with other

Make the City Safe
Observance of these re-

The city government does
not want tO interfere with the

Citizens can help in the
work by calling the attention

Faith and Patience Lead to
Perfect Love.

Affliction supported by patience
and surmounted by fortitude, sives
the finishing stroke to the heroic
and virtuous character. The dark
cloud presents all the beauties in
the bow of virtue. Moral grandeur,
like the sun, is brightest in the day
of storm, and never is SO sublime as
when struggling through the dark
ness of an eclipse. Everybody lives
by faith, saint, sinner, and every
body has faith in almost everything
they do. Faith is linked on to pa
tience and perfect love, / mean love
to God and 10 our fellowman. Job
had great faith and unbouEded pa
,ience. After all of his property hal
