EXTRA FREIGHT PICKS
Up AUTO At PENNoCk
-Four Persons mIracu|oush Es.
cape Death or Severe
Injury.

An accident in which four persons
might easily have lost their lives, and
yet In which they escaped with compar-
atively slight injuries, occurred last
Thursday afternoon, on the grade cross
ing just this side of the village of Pen
mock. The persons in the car were Mr..
and Mrs. L. F. Meyers and two children,
daughter about eight years Of age,
and a son about four, Of Rosholt, S. D.
They were travelling in Ford touring
car, with the top and side curtains up,
making it impossible for them to hear
or see the train that was approaching,
as they neared the crossing on the state
road, a short distance east of Pennock.
The train. extra 34s, consisted of an
engine, a few freight cars and ca
boose. They were headed for Benson,
and from thence out on the Watertown
branch. At the time the collision oc-
Cured, the train was travelling about
thirty miles per hour, and the auto
about fifteen.
AS 1OoU dIlu Id41EOdu track run SIDE
by side for some distance before the
former turns. and crosses the tracks,
but owing to the closed-in car and the
wind which was blowing a gale, none Of
the occupants Of the car were aware of
the approaching train. In fact Mr.
Meyers had no inkling Of any danger,
until his wife screamed. just before the
engine crashed into the car.
The auto was picked up bodily by
the pilot Of the engine and carried
about q hundred feet. That none of the
occupants Of the car were killed or even
seriously injured seems a miracle. They
were taken at once to Kerkhoven,
where no doctor could be found, so it
was necessary to bring them back to
this city, where they were taken to the
Bethesda hospital, and given medical
attention. The little boy was the worst
sufferer of them all, the other three be-
ing bruised to some extent. The auto
was badly smashed.

Arrangements Under way to Make
This Annual Event . Popular One.
The committee appointed to arrange
for the annual poultry show at Will
mar have their plans we'll under way.
The premium list has been compiled,
and is in the hands Of the printer. 1t is
liberal one and is sure to draw a
splendid exhibit of birds. The import
ance Of the poultry industry is usually
underest timated by the average person,
and many people who raise dunghin
scrubs Of all sizes and of miscellaneous
colored plumage have yet to learn that
1t costs no more and pays much better
to raise good birds Of uniform size and
color.
1t is planned to make this years
show great popular demonstration Of
what is best in the line of poultry, and
for that reason the show will be open
and free to anyone who cares to come
and study the birds and learn the points
of advantage of the different breeds.
The cost of putting on the show will
be met by a popular subscription among
the business men, and the premiums
will be paid by State appropriation.
Watch for further developments regard
ing the big Poultry Show Of 1917.

concert at the Willmar Opera House on
Tuesday evening of next week, Decem-
ber fifth. The concert will begin
promptly at eight fifteen, and no one
will be seated during a number. Mile.
Barnolt will appear in costume for her
numbers Leo Murphy of Minneapolis
will accompany the singers, and he has
made a splendid reputation wherever he
has appeared. Both Miss Barnolt and
Mr.. Griffee will take their grand opera
numbers from Carmen"
In speaking Of Mile. Barnolt's voice,
the Minneapolis Daily News said:
Louise Barnolt, prima donna con-
tralto, gave a most artistic and sue
cessful recital in the Women's Club au-
diorium last evening. Her voice is of
appealing quality and remarkable range,
and her work is characterized by an un-
usual degree of dramatic power, which
was especially marked in her flawless
presentation of the aria from Carmen.
She was forced to respond to many en-
cores.'
The Capital Journal at Pierre, S. D.,
has the following to say of Mr.. Griffee:
"Mr. Griffee sang the much loved Tor
eador song from Carmen" and reused
the audience to much enthusiasm. This
number was followed by two groups
from the German, old English and
French schools, which entirely capti-
waited the audience. When Jan Hal Grif-
fee returns to Pierre, the house will not
be large enough to accommodate all
those who wish to hear him."
Tickets for the concert sell for twen-
ty-five, thirty-five and fifty cents.
