ligion in order that they might fleece
the people out of their good money.
The report from Colby says:
Harry SERVER and Mrs. Grace
Farris, travelling as church lecturers
and billed to give addresses in Colby
ON uplifting the community, were sur
prised together in the hotel here,
fined in justice court, given so cents
each and tickets to Kansas City and
put on board the train.
Mrs. Farris is said to be the wife
of the advance man flor SERVER. In
court Server said he had been hv-
ing with the woman for more than
year and half and that the people
in towns where they had lectured had
given them recommendations.
Money had been collected here for
the lecturers, which were to be given
in local church, that the meeting
might be free to the public. Other
nearby towns where they have been
billed were informed today of the ac-
ton against them. SERVER and Mrs.
Farris have Iectured in Colorado"

BAD AUTO ACCIDENT
Ed Ruud Narrowly Escapes Death in
Wild Ride Down Mountain Side

From the OWyhee Avalanche, pub
lished at Silver City, details are
| learned of the auto accident in
which Ed Ruud was seriously in
jured. The Avalanche story follows:
Ed Ruud of Mountain Home had
a narrow escape from death yesterday
morning while coming up Whiskey
Hill grade on the Murphy-SilVer stage
road in his new six-passenger REQ in
company with his brother, Henry
Ruud and Jim Fletcher OF this city.
AS result of the accident Mr.. Ruud
lies at his brothers home in this
city with a deep cash three inches
long across his right temple clear to
the bone, requiring six stitches to
close, a double compound fracture OF
right forearm and hand dislocated at
the wrist, a small cut on forehead
and other minor injuries.
In coming up the long grade on
intermediate gear the top was nearly
reached when the engine died and
the car began to go back. The
brakes were applied but failed and
the car sped on its downward course
for a distance of several hundred
yards before leaving the road where
it turned completely over, landing on
its wheels. Mr.. Ruud was at the
wheel and kept the car in the road
during it's mad rush but the momen-
tum had become SO great when it
struck high point on the upper
side of the road it made complete
somersault. Messrs Ruud and Flet-
cher jumped from the running board
on the lower side just before it |
turned over, thus escaping injury, but
the driver was unable to make the
jump to clear the machine.
Mr.. Ruud rushed for the doctor, u.s.
ing three horses on the trip, and
likewise Lutte Gardner made a rec
ord drive down the mountain side to |
reach the scene as soon as possible
with the doctor. The injured man
was unconscious but a short time,
and after receiving temporary treat
ment, reached here about p. m. At
first it was thought he was most Sc
verely injured on the head, but later
it has developed to be flesh wound
with NO injury to the skull. Both
bones of the arm being broken, this
will prove a most serious injury ON
account of his advanced age, being 63
years old. The arm Is being per
manently set today and from last re-
ports the patient is resting easily
In speaking about the accident last
Dight DR.. Schuyler said during his 80
years of army and private practice
he had never seen man display
more nerve in case of this kind
than Mr.. Ruud. With the bones OF |
his arm sticking through the flesh
le allowed two strong men to pull

strength in order to set the bone tenn /

.FIfTY-NINE KILLED IN
AIR RAIDS ON ENGLAND

London April with the excep-
ton of the big air raid of Jan. 81
when the casualties were sixty-seven
persons killed and III injured, the
Zeppelin raids of Friday and Satur-
day nights caused greater loss of life
than any previous aerial attacks this
year.
The total casualties for the two
nights. according to an official report,
were ffty-nine persons killed and Ice
wounded
AS some compensation for this sac
rifice OF life however, the British
public finds satisfaction in practical
proof afforded of a great improvement
in the defensive methods dealing with
aerial incursioEs. For the first time
since the inception of this method of
warfare on the British coast not only
has one raiding Zeppelin been brought
down and its crew taken prisoner,
but the official report recounts an ex-
citing aerial fight between Zeppelin
and a British airman, Lieutenant
Brandon, who, mounting to a height
of 5000 feet, flew over the raider and
dropped several bombs on il with ef-
feet.
