CANTON GIRL:K KILLED
SELMA KNUTSON SMOTHERS
WHEN AUTO SLIDES INTO
DITCH, PINNING HEAD
IN SOFT GROUND.

Canton, Dec. 2.-Selma Knutson,
Is years old, at $3.50 o'clock last
night lost her life In a peculiar auto
mobile accident, which occurred On
the government road about one mile
from Canton. The young woman was
smothered to death when an automo-
bile overturned and pinned her in
some soft ground. She was dead
when friends went to her rescue.
With F. Sand. Of Doom. Ia, and
Agnes Henry, OF Canton, the young
woman started on an automobile ride
to the insane asylum a few miles
west of here. The road along the
point where the accident occurred is
very narrow, there not being enough
space for two automobiles to pass.
The road is also graded to a high
level at this point.
All three were sitting In the front
seat. Sand guided the machine off
the road into a farm yard to permit
an automobile coming from the OPP
posite direction TO pass. He started
to back out, but the e ground gave
way and the machine slid into a
ditch. All three OF the occupants
were thrown out. Miss Henry and
Sand succeeded in jumping to safety,
but Miss Knutson failed to escape
and was crushed under the machine.
A portion of the machine rested on
the back of her head and buried her
face In the soft ground.
Miss Knutson Is an orphan and was
employed as a clerk in one of the dry
goods establishments here. She has
a brother and sister living in Center
Vile. They have been notified of her
death. Miss Henry Is a bookkeeper
In the same establishment. Sand is
visiting friends here.

every hundred specimens submitted to
the Survey are found to be CONNER
cially valueless. Such an inspection
or test however, Is widely different
from an analysis complete analy-
sis Of a rock that is composed OF many
different minerals may require the
more or less continual attention of
chemist for month or six weeks. and
such work is done by the Survey only
in connection with its own scientific
Investigations. An assay. on the other

determine the exact metal content OF

A DIPuTHRRIA SCARF.
Death ef Man at Logging Camp Has
Caused Much Fear.

.s Alpha had diphtheria scare dur
ing the week that has given the ON
cials OF Mastodon township and the
health officers OF Alpha village much
concern. Il started by report that
one OF the young men who was taken
sick last week az the Sawyer Goodman
a co. camp near this village had died
at Marinette and that the doctors pro
nounced his affliction to be diphtheria
in its most malignant form, commonly
known as black diphtheria."
The report proved to be partially
correct and Immediately the matter
was put TO the health officers OF the
township with the demand that some
thing be done 10 safeguard the health
OF the people of the community.
The township board met and placed
a quarantine upon the whole camp
which contained 7O-men. There were
some men III at the camp and II was
claimed that they are not ailing with
diphtheria. However, the public is
suspicious and nothing but the strict
est measures OF protection will answer
the demands.
The company is now being consult
ed in a proposition to burn the camp
but until the company can prepare
another place for their men, this plan
cannot be carried out.
DR.. Edwards, the health officer OF
Alpha village and OF Mastodon town
ship, says that every precaution Is be-
ing taken TO prevent the spread OF
the disease, The men who are i'll arc
isolated in another building where
they are being closely watched. These
men are suffering from diphtheria
without any doubt as several physi-
clans have been consulted and all of
them pronounce II diphtheria. The
township maintains guard about the
camp and no one is allowed to visit
the place or leave Il.
DR.. Edwards says that the only way
