RIVER POWER
CANAL ACROSS LOOP AT GREAT
BEND CONSIDERED BY
ENGINEERS.

Mitchell, Nov. 11.-"Drive a canal
across the loop at Great Bend, install
a power plant there and you can de-
velop 10000 horsepower which could
be changed into electrical energy and
sold at about one-fifth the present
rate charged by electrical com
panies."
This statement was made by John
l.. Nelson, formerly county surveyor
of Dawson county, after making two
surveys of the big loop at Great Bend.
seventy-eight miles northwest of here
and a short distance south of Pierre.
This gigantic loop i'm the Missouri
is caused by a chain of $50 hills
which forces the river to make a cir
cult of twenty-eight miles. coming
back TO within a mile and three-quar-
tiers of where the loop starts.
Mr.. Nelson says: IF a canal was
put in across the neck OF this loop.
one could easily create a 22-foot head
of water. According to the river
gauging station at Bismarck. the flow
of the river is 10. 900 feet minimum.
which would give at this point more
than 10000 horsepower, which could
readily be turned into electrical cur
rent at one-fifth of the cost o re-
CURED by the expensive means re
CURED to develop power in this
state"
On several occasions companies
have looked into the proposition OF
developing this power. but the large
initial expense has caused all prof
ects 10 be abandoned. The newly or.
ganized Mitchell Street Railway q In.
terurban company is looking into the
feasibility of putting in a plant al
this point, intending to market the
surplus current to surrounding towns
if it should decide to develop the
proposition.

TORNADO HITS
HARTFORD
FOUR MEN HURT AND LIGHT
PLANT DEMOLISHED WHEN
STORM STRIKES.

Remarkable for its ~suddenness OF
attack. d tornado late yesterday aft
ernoon hurled its fury in the town
OF Hartford, about thirty-five miles
southeast of this city, ~wrecking the
new town electric lighting plant there
and seriously jnjuring four men.
News of the storm was brought TO
Madison in dispatches and by per-
sons who passed through Hartford
this morning. The men injured
were.
John Wilder, retired farmer, arm
and leg crushed and body bruised.
ole Brunsdahl, superintendent of
the lighting plant. injured about the
head and body.
Emil Carlson of Sioux Falls. prob
ably fatally hurt by being buried be-
meath the wreckage. Carlson's head
and body were badly bruised and in
ternal injuries are feared. He was
unconscious when found. and it re-
ouired nearly two hours to revive
him.
Slight injuries were sustained by
O. Betterhouse, a laborer of Cotton.
The lighting plant was of brick
and was just being completed at a
cost of about $4,000. II will be nee
essary to reconstruct almost the en-
tire plant.
A gale which quickly assumed the
proportions of a cyclone, came from
the southwest and was accompanied
by a heavy fall of rain. 1t struck
with it's full force shortly before 5
O'Clock.
A strange coincidence is the fact
that practically no damage was done
TO other buildings in the vicinity,
ever frail frame structures with
standing the blast.
An early report that one man had
been killed in the storm could not
be confirmed today.

WINTER MORNING
MADISON PEOPLE FOUND SNOW
ON THE GROUND THIS
MORNING.

Numbers who were beguiled by
this mornings bright suns rays into
starting down town without taking
extra p~recaution against the raw at
mosphere, generally travelled very
short distances before %retracing their
steps to don the overcoat they had
hoped to keep from bringing into
general use for a considerable time.
1t was the first really biting" cold
morning of the season. While Their
mometers registered only about 29
degrees above zero a brisk wind from
the northwest added sufficiently to
the discomfort to make it appear that
the tiny shafts of mercury had en-
tered into a pact with Old Sol to de-
ceive the nan or woman who must
hurry down town to work.
Although it had been predicted by
weather forecasters, the sudden drop
in temperature and accompanying
snow furry came as a surprise to
many. Rain which fell yesterday
! afternoon froze on walks. rendering

AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL
TRAVELLING Statesmen INTIMATE
THAT THEY WILL LAY Up
THEIR CARS FOR THE
SEASON.

The automobile as a means of gen
eral conveyance for travelling sales
men who cover this territory in mo-
tor cars during a large part of the
year, is practically a thing of the
past for the season of 1915. Com
mercial men, some of whom arrived
by auto today, predicted that last
nights cold snap had sounded the
death knell of the regular road car
for the year, and that the present
week would probably find most of
the gasoline buggies driven by trav-
elers housed in winter quarters.
While there is no record OF the
number of transients who regularly
visit the city in cars, it is estimated
that at least thirty drummers who
include Madison in their list of calls,
travel entirely in machines during
good weather. The number who do
not depend upon train service for
getting from town to town, after
about the middle of April and until
the first of November is increasing
every year, it is said.
Two travellers who drove over
frozen roads this forenoon expressed
a wish that they had left their cars
at headquarters. They say, however,
that under ordinary conditions they
will make many trips between towns
this year in local livery autos, which
will remain in service as long as the
weather permits.

SMASHES auto TO
save TOTS lives
John ]. Kelly Drives Car
Into Building, Escaping
Himself
CHILDREN WERE
CROSSING STREET

Realizing that by keeping straight
in his course he would run down two
small children. John J. Kelly, son of
Neal B. Kelly. of No. 1906 Market
street. yesterday afternoon, swerved
an automobile he was operating into
the wall of the drug store of Edgar b.
Fell, southwest corner Concord ave-
nue. and Monroe street, and the wall
of the home of Sharpless G. Handy,
No. 23O7 Monroe street, adjoining.
This action on the part of Mr.. Kelly
was all that saved him from running
down Walter Fulmer. aged one year,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Y Full
mer, of No. sos West Twenty-fourth
street, and Charles Gilbert. aged 9
years, brother of Mrs. Fulmer The
Fulmer child had toddled into the bed
of Concord avenue at Monroe street
as Mr.. Kelly came along in his auto
mobile, going west, and young Gil
bert. uncle of the small child, seeing
its danger. rushed into the street to
save II. As both reached the middle
of the avenue. Mr.. Kelly saw the chill
dren standing in the street.
The children appeared to be dazed
Mr.. Kelly, seeing that he must either
run the children down or drive the ma
chine into the building, chose the latter
course. The heavy car jumped the curb
and crushed into the walls of the two
houses, Just where an alley led from the
Handy home. The impact was heard for
squares, and a large crowd immediately
gathered. Mr.. Kelly, who remained on
the car seat, was uniniured, but the ear
was badly damaged. Even the founda-
tion stones in the Handy property were
! loosened. Had the car of Mr.. Kelly
crashed into the small alleyway between
the two properties few seconds later
il would have struck Ethel Handy,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Handy, who
was walking towards Monroe street in
the alley at the time.
It was at first reported that the
children had been killed in the ac-
4 cident. Those who witnessed the
accident were loud in their praise Of
the GOODNESS and bravery OF Mr.. Kelly.
who risked his own life TO save that
OF the children.
