SERIOUS ACCIDENT AvERTED

An automobile accident which
might have resulted more seriously
occurred on the streets Friday eveA-
ing. A little Ford roadster was driv-
ing on South Park in the miGdle of
the street in front of the Jensen
Bakery while another car following
closely behind. AS the Fcrd turned
in, the driver following also turned
too short, hitting the little Ford in
the rear with such momentum as to
force the Ford oat into the street
beyond. Joe Sweeney was driving
along in his big Hudson. as the Ford
was struck. AS consequence, the
Ford, rsmmed into the Hudson, bad
ly scratching it and otherwise dam
aging the body. When the cars
were separated, the Ford seemed to
suffer the worse as 1t had all tenders
demolished, tie rear of the car dam
aged and the radiator badly pune
tured. The rear car was somewhat
damaged but not so seriously as the
other two.
The cause of the accident was
simply tbs driving # cars 100 close
together. and a green driver in the
rear car attempting to show off and
using no judgment. 1t was another
of those accidents resulting from
carelessness. Some will not try to
learn except thru experience. This
experince may prove costly by the
time all three cars are fully repair
ed

ALMOST HAD A FIRE

Tuesday morning about four
o'clock. John Roth was awakened
from his sleep by the gas from burn
ing wood. He searched the house
and found the smoke coming from
the basement BY the presence of
mind and the assistance of a hose
connected to hydrant in the base
ment, he quickly put out the fire.
The fire resulted from an over
heated electric iron. Earlier in the
evening, Mrs. Roth and some ladies
visiting there went into the basement
and in some way, turned on the cur
rent to the iron. The iron was set
ting upon its cooling base Of ashes
tos which holds it about two inches
above the table. 1t took several
hours for it to heat thru and become
hot enough to set fire to the cab
met in which 1t was placed. The
damage Is slight. not exceeding $40
or $50. The chief losss is in the
clothing that was burned. Luckily
the fire had not succeeded in reach
ing the winter clothing hanging in
the cloak room of the basement near
the ironing cabinet which was burn
ed

Hereford cattle at the stock pavilion
at the fair grounds in this city, and
he has an offering that will make
them all sit up and take notice. 1t
is an offering that is bred in the pur-
pie and he has drawn on some of the
very best he has in his herd for this
sale. The Larland herd of j. A.
Johnson has long since been recog-
nized as one of the very best in the
West Certain it is that no breeder
in the West has brought better
foundation stock and he now comes
before the public with his second
annual offering, and it will compare
with any that will be sold this fall.
Fifty head are listed-44 females
and S bulls. twenty calves will sell

attractions in the bull line is his
three-year-old herd bull. Pens Beau.
He is son of the famous Beaumont

good a cow as will be offered in any
sale this fall. She is the dam of his
present herd bull. Sunday Fairfax,
that cost him $4,000 as a calf. She
is we'll along in calf to Pens Beau,
and she is a mighty good cow for
any breeder to place in his herd.

PENS Beau. This cow is the dam of
the great bull that heads the w. II.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT
THE MASTERSON SALE

Masterson G. Sons sale is in pro-
gress today as we 60 to press. The
crowds are big and there are many
bidders and buyers from distant
states who are making things go live
ly and selling the fine stock rapidly
The cattle are in fine condition and
make a very good showing in the
sale ring. The auctioneers are full
of ginger and pep and the crowds are
responding to the call for bids.
AS we go to press We have no way
of determining the average of the
sale as it was not half thru when we
were last on the grounds in the pa
Wilton. At the time we were out.
the females were being sold and the
time was 5000. We did not get to
stay for the final bid on her but to
all appearances, she was going to
bring much more. Up to the time
we go to press s1sr0 was the highest
Northwestern carried special pull
man this morning to bring the buy
ers and stock men to the city from
the north. How many there may
have been We cannot say but there
were several hundred STRANGERS in
the sale pavilion and more were COM
ing. Many came by automobile. The
cars lined up around the grounds
would remind one that special state
fair was being held. Everybody was
feeling good and com Portable tho the
dav was cold and chilly.
The good looks of the cattle were
somewhat bedimmed because the
high wind tore the tent down that
sheltered them and filled their coats
with dirt. dust and chaff. The man
ayers of the sale brushed them up
somewhat as the cattle were brought
into the ring. But the fine gloss
was effaced and the hair was not of
the condition that shows its quality.
These conditions could not be helped
however because of the high wind
storm. One day earlier in the week
when representative of this paper
was out to see the stock. they were
shining like a big-eight headlight
on a clear night and were in the best
appearing condition. In spite of the
disadvantage caused by the inclement
and disagreeable weather, everything
was going along very nicely.
