Collision of Speeders.

A collision of two gasoline
speeders belonging to the Tabor

a heavy fog, with the result that
the Tabor crew composed of Sec

badly crippled up. The Tyndall
crew escaped without injury by
jumping from the speeder in time.
Section Foreman King was max

rail to replace a broken one and
the crew form Tyndall were to
meet them with the new rail. Both
speeders had front lights, but a

APPLIANCE LIFTS BABY BUG
GIES UP AND DOWN CURB
INGS IN STREET.

In the windows Of the Brown fur
niture store today is a baby go-cart
TO which is attached an appliance for
letting the cart down a curblng or
raising it without the necessity Of
stopping or without danger to the oc-
cupant It is the invention Of c. E.
Roosevelt Of this city and he Is ap-
plying for a patent upon it.
The attachment Is in the shape Of a
a pair of runners, the lowest point Of
which is about an inch above the
tread ofathe wheels As the wheels
leave the curb the weight of the cart
is trown upon the runners and tho
cart descends gently without jar.
The same principle applies in raising
the cart.
Mr. Roosevelt has been working
upon the device for some time, his
ideas being born Of observing the in
convenience to which mothers are
put in raising and lowering their
carts on the paved streets. Mr.
Roosevelts invention is also arranged
to prevent the cart from tipping
backwards Those to whom It has
been demonstrated are satisfied that
the inventor should find a ready mar
ket for It.

zone about England These vessels
include the Red Star liner Lapland

ports are in the region of the war zone
and in view of the great activity dis
played by the submarines in the past
As hours, considerable uneasiness Is
felt in shipping circles. The Lapland
is expected to dock at Liverpool to-
day. The White Star liner Baltic
sailed from New York on Wednes-

Wife WOULD CAST HIM OFF
IS THE HUSBANDS STORY
HELM FARMER FILES ANSWER
TO DIVORCE COMPLAINT
FILED BY MATE.

Having worked for fourteen years
for his wife, before marriage as la
borer and since as manager of her
property, having aided in increasing
her fortunes until now the property
in her name is valued at $4,000 and
now having reached a time when he
is in danger of being a permanent in
valid, his wife and her children by a
previous marriage would cast him
off. This in substance is the story re-
lated by Clarence ". Orton. Helix
farmer, in his answer to the divorce
complaint filed recently by his wife,
Prudence Orton.
Mr.. Orton alleges that he worked
for three years previous to their mar
riage for his wife, accepting no re-
muneration except a living. that her
property then was not worth more
than $500 and that he not only
worked hard to help her clear it but
advanced $3.50 in money. They wf,-e
engaged at the time, he states. and
WV AiioA LSu III 4sVfs since lnEn the
farm holdings have increased until
now they are worth $4,000 and in his
wife's name are several lots and a
house in Pendleton valued at $4,000
besides personal property worth So
400.
Ii has always been understood be-
tween them, he alleges. that they
would share equally in the property.
Recently he declares. he has become
afflicted with an ailmeut which ply
sicians advise may leave him perma-
nently an invalid Knowing this he
charges, his wife's children have pois-
oned her mind against him and have
induced her to try and cast him off
so that he will not be a burden when
he can no longer be an active help

If Major swartzlander, agent on
the reservation, carries out his inten-
tons, as announced to this paper this
morning, there will be no trouble be-
tween the city and the agency office
over irrigating the agency campus.
The major stated he wished no con-
troyersy with the city and so would
discontinue irrigation If asked to do
so.
At the same time Major Swartz-
lander insists the agency has a right
to use water for this purpose and fur
thermore is not using enough water
to cause any shortage here. He a1-
mits there are six three-fourth inch
hs drants running most Of the time
but declares the amount Of water
used is inconsequential to the city.

<tzLander Offers to
Stop Erigating Agency
Campus if SO Requested

Major Swartzlander returned home
this morning.
Hayes Thinks Different.
On the other hand Frank Hayes,
water superintendent Is positive in
supporting his estimate that the ir-
rigation Of the agency grounds Is TAX
ing 129,0OO gallons Of water daily.
He has verified his figures and says
his estimate is very conservative.
AS the natatorium holds but 225,-
600 gallons 1t may thus be seen that
without the irrigation at the agency
there would be more than enough
surplus water here TO fill the swim
ming tank every other day. At pres
ent the flow is just enough to meet
all the regular needs Of the city and
keep the reservoirs filled. So there IS
nc surplus for the natatorium.

HARVEST FIRE THREATENS
TO BURN STACKED GRAIN

One of the most serious harvest
fires Of the season in this county
burned several hundred acres of stub
bic on the Marion Hansell place near
Athena yesterday afternoon and for a
time threatened to spread into fields
where a great deal Of sacked grain
was stacked.
The fire is said to have started
from a passing engine on the O.-W.
r. & y. line about 2:30. The stubble
was high and the flames spread rap
idly. The train stopped and sum-
moned a section crew by blasts from
the engine whistle and soon farm
crews and many people from Athena
and Weston arrived by auto. Plows,
sacks and backfiring was used in
fighting the flames but it was an hour
and half before they were extin-
guished. Only by backfiring was the
fire kept from spreading to a corner
ing field where a large quantity of
grain was stacked.
The fire burned over a half section
of stubble and some wheat left in the
field, was destroyed.
Let's be of good cheer, remember
