BIG TRUCK DASHED
 THROUGH FRANKLIN SQUARE
Plueky Driver Stuck to Post and
 Averted Serious Accident.

Franklin square was the scene of a miracle Monday afternoon at 445 o'clock when a two-horse runaway team loaded with furniture came laundering through at a mad rate of speed and narrowly escaped hitting an automobile in which there were sev- eral women. At the time of the run away the square was filled with cars and many people.
 The truck, which is owned by Hart ley 6 Brown, and driven by Earl Lewis, was coming down Cliff street with a load of furniture when the whif1etree gave way, striking the heels of the horses, frightening them. They started on mad plunge down the hiN, with Driver Lewis tuggine at the reins.
 A horse and wagon standing near Disco Bros.' was nearly struck. The truck gained speed and the load, swaying from one side to the other; came near falling off. When in the center of the square Driver Lewis saw the automobile standing on Main street near Perkins candy store and with renewed vigor managed to guide the frightened animals away from the machine. On striking the frog on the trolley track near the Wauregan house the speed of the truck was checked, and Traffic Officer Henderson and Felix Callahan grabbed tle horses, bringis g them to a stop.
 MT. 1ewiS stuck to lis post bravely and through his cool heapdedness avert ed a serious accident.

nesOta, Will Manage Governors
Campaign for Election.

St. Paul, April 27.-J. S. Arneson
has been selected campaign manager
for Governor j. A. A. Burnquist, &C
cording to announcement made yes
terday by Mr.. Arneson. He will take
up the work in conjunction with the
voluntary committee of friends of the
Governor, who has opened campaign
headquarters at the Merchants Hotel
in St. Paul. John Sanborn, State
Senator John Jackson, and Represen-
tative Albin Bjorklund have been in
charge of the preliminary work of the
campaign.
Mr.. Arneson is at present secretary
of the State Boxing commission, and
his resignation has been presented to
the boxing commission.
The announcer emit made by Cover
nor Burnquist Monday that he would
probably name new private secre-
tary following the primary, in case he
is named as the Republican candidate
for governor, coupled with the an
nouncement made by Mr.. Arneson
yesterday that he will take charge of
the campaign of Governor Burnquist
has led to the assumption that Mr..
Arneson is slated to succeed c. M.
Andrist as private secretary to Cover
nor Burnquist after the primary, and
to remain in that position if Cover
nor Burnquist is elected in November.

OSAKIS. GAMES CALLED OFF

Sank Centre high school has broken
baseball relations with Osakis high
school for this season at least. Osakis
was scheduled to come here last Sat
urday to play the local boys for the
opening game of the season. The
game had been arranged for weeks
before and the local boys were to
play return game on May at Osa-
kis. However, Osakis telephoned last
Friday night that the team could not
come the following day. No reason
was given for breaking the agree
ment. Saturday afternoon was ideal
for early spring baseball. A goodly
throng drove or walked out to the
grounds to see the "opener" and get
a line on the local lads-only to be
turned away at the gate with the an
nouncement of "no game" The Osa-
lis funk came too late for the high
school athletic association to inform
the fans. Peeved by the treatment
accorded by Osakis, Manager Alexan-
der of the athletic association, has
called off the game scheduled to be
played in Osakis. However, the local
lads may be seen in action this COM
ing Saturday afternoon at the ball
park when they will line up against
the fast Alexandria high schol team.
The cancelled May 6 date has not as
yet been filed.

Plans for 1916 commencement week
of the Sank Centre high school are
formulating rapidly. Friday, May 49,
has been set as the date for the SEN
ior class play; May % as Raccalaur-
cate, and May % as Commencement
day proper. DR.. J. E. Freeman of ST.
Marks Episcopal church of Minneap-
oils has consented to deliver the COM
mencement address. He is a power
full and compelling pulpit and plat
form speaker and his effort promises
to be treat. Decision has not been
reached as to who will deliver the
baccalaureate sermon. The senior
class play will be "Snow Ball." by
Sidney Grundy. It is a comedy in
three acts. The lie is given for a
joke. It grows bigger and bigger like
a SNOWFALL, is finally exposed and
more trouble follows, all ending hap
PLY, however. The play will be given
at the Caughren theatre and the men,
bers of the class who will be in the
cast are rehearsing diligently. This
years class will number thirty-nine,
the largest ever graduated from the
high school.

The annual business meeting of the
Gradatim Club was held on Wednes-
day afternoon of this week at the
home of Mrs. Theo. Dock Nearly all
the members were present. The usual
business was transacted and plans for
the future were discussed. The line of
study for next year was left in charge
of a committee, Miss Sprague, Mrs.
Frank Parker, Mrs. Halverson ard
Miss Linton. There was strong feel
ing on the part of the club members
to take up Bible study. The civic
work will probably be done along the
lines similar to last year. The Club
expressed willingness to cooperate
with the city in whatever was thought
best. The Stockade memorial and
urns for the front of the Library will
be the two things that will occupy
the first thought of the club. Officers
for the next year were elected, as fol-
lows: President, Mrs. Theo. Dock;
first vice pres, Esther Sprague; sec
-ond vice president, Mrs. Geo. Rein;
recording secretary, Mrs. H. S. Hal
vorson; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
c. E. Bohall; treasurer, Mrs. Z. J.
Lewis; custodian, Mrs. Tobey.
The club was pleased to have as a
guest at the meeting Mrs. Sinclair
Lewis. After adjournment Mrs. Dock
served refreshments which came as a
surprise, but were fully appreciated by
all. On account of lack of Herald
space this week the very excellent an
nual reports of the secretary and
treasurer, and the Rest Room commit
tee, were crowded out, but will be pub
lished in full next week.

FAMED WRITER VISITS HERE
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Sinclair Lewis
Will SOjOurn in Sank Centre
During the Summer.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry (Sinclair)
Lewis arrived Monday evening for an
extended visit at the home of Harry's
parents, DR.. and Mrs. E. J. Lewis. 1t
was the first visit home of the bril-
liant young author in eight years and
he has been kept busy receiving con-
gratulations of his hosts of old friends
on his successful climb up the literary
ladder. Mrs. Lewis is a native of
New York City and this is her first
visit here.
Mr.. Lewis last fall gave up his POI
sition with the New York publishing
house with which he had been connect
ed and with Mrs. Lewis passed the
winter in Florida, most of the time at
st. Augustine where they had cot
tage and where Mr.. Lewis devoted
himself to writing. For the last six
weeks they visited in Chicago.
1t is probable that the couple will
remain in Sank Centre during the en-
tire summer and continue on next fall
to California for the winter. While
here Mr.. Lewis will devote his time
on new novel which he will publish
in the spring.
In the last few years Mr.. Lewis
has gained recognition as one of the
most compelling young fiction writer's
in the country. His magazine conteri-
buttons are invariably gems of short
stories, while his latest book, "The
Trail of the Hawk" is among the
years best sellers.
Besides having time to gain fame
as an author, Mr.. Lewis has also trav-
eled extensively. He worked at the
newspaper game on the Pacific coast
for more than year and journeyed as
far south as the Panama canal. In
recent years he has been continually
in New York City except for occas-
ionaln trips through the Souther
states.

trip over the town roads with the
board. AS result many minor re-

Commissioner Ellering also examined
the roads in the town of Ashley and
will recommend extensive repairs on
those highways.
With the building of the Brooten
highway and the extension of the
state road to the north county boun-
dairy next year, in addition to the
present state road from Melrose and
extending on to Osakis, Sank Centre
will have a splendid local road system.

OLD SCHOOLMATES REUNITED
Meet in Sank Centre After Parting
Twenty-three Years Ago In
Rome, Italy.

Twenty-three years ago, Rev. FIR.
ART and F. Duffy clasped hands in
farewell at Rome, Italy. They had
been students together in the Appoli-
marie and Minerva Universities, knew
every stone and niche of the famed
city, had tasted freely of the student
life which only Rome knows. A few
days later, Father Art came to
America, direct to the diocese OF St.
Cloud. Twenty-Five years ago last
Tuesday he was ordained as priest in
the Catholic church. Eighteen years
ago he came to St. Paul's church in
this city as pastor and has been here
since.
Duffy took other trails. He "did''
Austria, Russia and Greece and then
veered off into Palestine where he
passed two years searching out histor-
ical spots. He drifted down into South
Africa just in time to enlist with an
Irish brigade in the Boer war, taking
up arms against England, though he
was reared on irish SOd.
In one of the big actions he was
sorely wounded and taken prisoner to
Ceylon, India, where he was detained
two years, finally being released
through the offices of the late Car
dinal Parrochi, whom he and Father
ART had known as students in Rome,
and who was vicar general to Pope
Leo XIII and Pope Plus x.
From Ceylon, Duffy journeyed to
Italy and then to Mentone, France,
where he was the guest Of Dom Paul
Kruger, former president of the
Transvaal, who sought Mentone as his
refuge in exile. From Mentone, Duffy
continued on to his old home in Ire
land, finally deciding to come to
America. He located in Chicago and
went into business.
He had kept Father Art in men,
DRY and last week when the walls of
the loved university in Rome rose into
view in a day dream he packed his
grip and set out for Sank Centre He
arrived Tuesday and naturally took
Father ART greatly by surprise when
he called at ST. Paul's parish. Duffy
could only remain few days but it
was a period full of Renaissance for
the old school mates and many toasts
were offered to "dear old Rome"
