Dripping, disappointed race fans, un-

and their desire to see the 500 mile
race at Indianapolis Monday. have
been lowering about Richmond today.
Many have gone on to indianapolis

ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.

Last Thursday afternoon an auto
mobile party of Lancaster people, who
had been in Bloomington attending
the fair, were returning home. In the
car was Dick Willis, driving, Mayor
Bailie. w. P. Richardson and Walter
Austin. The party had reached the
turn in the road at the Grant river
and were climbing the approach to
the bridge. Mr.. Willis was unable to
see ahead or across the river on ac-
count of the rise and the high weeds
at the roadside, but sounded the horn.
While the car was practically coast
ing. at the rise it was necessary to
put on additional power in order to
get up to the bridge. Just as they
came to this point they were Mortified
to see a big five-passenger car COM
ing full speed from the other isde.
The bridge is too narrow to allow
cars to pass and it is necessary for
one car to wait off the bridge to al
low passing. Mr.. Willis put on the
brakes, as did the driver of the strange
car, and they stopped with the tenders
almost touching. The other car car
ried four. ladies, besides the man driv-
er, but they were all strangers to the
Lancaster party.
There was fortunately no harm done
but there is a grave possibility of ac-
cident any time at this point.

CARL BRUSS KILLED
BY JERSEY BULL
Is Stamped to Death While
Tying Animal.
Accident Happened at Noon Saturday
Mr.. BrusS An Old Resident of
Grant CO.-Burial Today.

Carl Bruss, an old resident of Grant
county, residing on farm four miles
west of Lancaster, met his death in
terrible manner last Saturday noon.
Mr.. BruSS made his home with his
son, William and family, and was the
care-taker of a 6-yearOld Jersey bull,
belonging to his son. Mr.. Bruss had
long been in the habit of leading the
bull around, and although he was
cautioned several times, seemed to
have no fear of the animal. Saturday
about noon while the family was hav-
ing dinner, Mr.. Bruss discovered that
the bull which had been staked out
in the barnyard, had gotten loose, and
went out into the yard to faSten him.
Very shortly after this the family
heard a noise in the yard, and going
out were Mortified to find Mr.. Bruss
lying on the ground grooming, and the
bull standing over him. William
/ Bruss, the son, who had been in Lam
caster, returned about this time and,
driving the animal away, carried his
father to the house. The old gentle
man seemed to be conscious and free
from pain, but died in about a half
hour after the accident. An examina-
ton showed the bones in the chest
had been crushed.
Little is known as to just what hap
pened, but it is supposed that the bull
turned on the old man and knocked
him down and then stamped him with
I it's forefeet.
When picked up, Mr.. Bruss was still
holding the ring in the animals nose.
! Carl Wilhelm Bruss was born III
Pommern, Germany, in 1885, being at
his death, eighty years, four
months and twenty-five days old. He
was formerly the owner of the farm
in Little Grant, where he resided with
his son at the time of his death. He
is survived by three sons, William and
Herman of this city, and Frank, OF
Mississippi, and eleven grandchildren.
He was married in 1865 to Wilhel-
mine Schneider, who preceded him in
to the Great Beyond number OF
years ago. He came to America III
April, 1884.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence in Little Grant at nine
o'clock today, thence TO the German
Evangelical church in this city, and
the body will be laid to rest in Hill
side. Services will be conducted by
Reverend Harberts in English, and
Reverend Schmidt in German.

Editha HasSel Brown.

Lancaster people were greatly
shocked when the word was flashed
here last Friday night that Mrs.

Brown was, before her marriage to

HOW is THIS FOR POTATOES?

Otto Behncke, who lives north of the
Hurricane, called at the Herald office
Saturday, and exhibited some potatoes
that are remarkable. Mr.. Behncke
purchased three years ago, twenty
four eyes of the variety known as the
Early Fortune He planted them that
year, putting an eye to the hill and
only four hills bore. Out of these
four hills he realized a three-gallon
pail of potatoes. The next year he
planted the total amount and realized
at the end of the season sugar barrel
full of the tubers. This year he
planted most of the barrel on
about a quarter of an acre OF
ground and expects to get about 15O
bushels There were sixteen pota-
toes in hill that he dug up the other
day and six Of these weighed five lbs.
Next year, at this rate-well you fig
ure it out. We would like to hear from
the next man.

Tommie ZakcZski, of Lancaster
drove Sir Conan Doyle at the Bloom
| ington races and showed great class
in his driving. Sir Conan Doyle is
fine animal and a universal favor
| ite with Lancaster people, as he is
owned by Joe Mccoy of this city. He
started in a field of 10 at BOscObel
| last week, without the hobbies, and
made 1873 in the 2:18 pace. The
time made in the three heats was 1914
i171b and 1714. Conan Doyle would
have undoubtedly made a better show
| ing at BoscObel had the hobbies been
worn, and at Bloomington, Mccoy put
them on, with the result of winning
first money. This animal is six years
old, runs like clockwOrk, and seems
to be able to get the lead at the start
and keep ahead of the field.
White Get, an Illinois horse, delayed
the running race at Bloomington
Thursday and Friday for half an hour
while she cavOrted around evidently
unable to break evenly with the other
horses in the race In the last heat
she threw her rider, dragging him
for quite a distance, and ran all the
way home alone.
Roy Wilkes, the Minnesota PAGER,
who raced against the record at
Bloomington has record of 2:6A
This horse is fine animal and, given
a fast track, could have undoubtedly
permanently lowered the record at
Bloomington. The best he could do,
however, was even with running pace
makers, 2:1515,
-Vintara, the two year old trotting
colt owned by w. B. Dyer and Lee
Wright, made a remarkable record at
the Mineral Point fair last week. On
Wednesday this horse broke the track
record for two year old trotters MAX
ing the half mile in 1:13A. This
breaks the state record for two year
olds also Spriggan held the win
ner of the $4,000 stake race at San
Francisco. He won second money in
the race at Mineral Point. This horse
will race at Darlington next week and
POSSIBLY at the Lancaster fair. We
hope so, anyhow.
