miles from town, young tornado was
making things fly for few minutes.
On the farm of Andrew Drogsvold,
Just below the Dunkirk bridge, a silo
was blown down and hay rack was
blown from the wagon and tossed for
some distance, while on t. O. Tofsland
] place, little further south, the wind
| tore bundles of oats from the stack and
sent them flying through the air.

Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Roberts, Brook
| Ign, have recovered their Overland car
which was stolen in Madison June n.
The car was found at Merrisville, Ind,

barn at that place and as the owner
did not return for it, the Overland peo-
pie were notified. Records showed
that the car had been sold to L. J.

While blowing up'' tire on REQ
car, Saturday night, Ray Hyne, of the
Frank Hyne & Son garage, received a
severe injury when the tire exploded
and piece of the rim struck him be-
tween the eyes. Tracy" as he is
better known, had placed the tire on
the car, but did not notice that the in
ner rim was not properly fitted. When
he had put rs pounds of air into the
tire it let go and the projection of the
inner rim permitted the outer rim to
be blown against Tracy" with such
force that it made wound that re-
quired seven stitches. He was render
ed unconscious, but after being carried
into his home upstairs and medal aid
summoned, he regained consciousness.
AS Charles Carmen, a Madison
blacksmith, was driving from Madison
to this city late Friday afternoon, he
was the victim of an unusual accident
as he neared the corner known as the
Standish farm. At this place the road
makes very sharp turn, and Mr.. Car
men, who was probably driving at
fairly good speed, failed to make the
corner, driving into the bank, smashing
the front wheel, running board, fender,
windshield and springs of his large
roadster. Mr.. Carmen was so injured
and cut from the broken windshield
that he was unable to move until a
passing car brought him to this city,
where he received medical attention.
He was able to go to GAINESVILLE, how
ever, Saturday, and the car is under
going the needed repairs at the local
garage.

ON COMMUTATION

Judge Says Legislature Should
Amend Law to Give Some
Discretion Z

That he mas considered the indeter.
inmate sentence law unconstitutional,
but has bowed to the decision of high

granted until the minimum sentence
has been worked out, and that the gov,

sentences, is the opinion of Circuit
Judge G. w. Ashford as pointed out
In statement given the Star-Bulletin.
Judge Ashford says. he feels that
the legislature, if welded to the idea
of a parole system, should so amend
the law as to vest the discretion in
the executive officers to grant the
parole at any time after conviction, ir-
respective of the length of the SEN

"In my opinion" says Judge Ashford,
''the governor has and had no au-
thority to commute that sentence, and
it follows that the prisoner should
either be hanged or pardoned. | sin
cerely hope that the legislature will
look into this case and into the gen,
