AUTOMOBILE SPILL CAUSES
DEATH OF ONE DRIVER

Glendale, S. D., July 24.-what de-
Veloped to be a serious accident oc-
CURED when an automobile driven by
j. G. Kfamm struck I. H. Hall. Like
most similar accidents, it is difficult
to determine how it occurred. One of
the parties is dead and the other can
only give one side of the affair. Miss
Ethel Preston, who was with Klamm at
the time, stated that the first thing she
saw was Hall lying beside the rear
wheels of the car when her escort had
succeeded in stopping the machine.
klamm says that he was not driving
over IL miles an hour when he saw
Hall on the curb. Hall, he says, stepped
off the curb with the evident intention
OF crossing the street, but stopped
when he saw the auto. Klamn had
also stopped, but when he saw Hall stop
he again drove forward. Hall sudden
ly changed his intentions and started
across in ron of the car. The injured
man was picked up and started to the
hospital, but he died on the way. The
Immediate cause of death was a deep
cut on the head extending from a few
inches above the right ear g. distance
of four or five inches toward the back
of the head. The right ear also was
bruised n badly discolored. Hall
died from conclusion of the brain.

THRILLING RESCUE AFFECTED

drowning in Pickerel lake, a summer

overcome while attempting a long dis
lance swim with South and a number
of other boys. McKibbon was sinking
for the second time when South reached
him. South had to dive to reach him.
Grasping the drowning boy by the hair
he succeeded in bringing him to the
surface. Then commenced a fight for
life, or for two lives, for the strain of
holding the unconscious McKibbon
was proving too much for the rescuer.
A boat finally reached the scene and
both boys were drawn from the water.
The thrilling rescue was witnessed by
scores of people on shore.
