ON COUNTRY
HIGHWAY FOR HOURS
Predicament of An Autoist Who
Took Wrong Road to
MankatO
From Fridays Daily.

To be stalled on country road
without food for nearly forty eight
hours, fearing to leave his disabled
automobile, wherein was a satchel
containing money, was the experience
of buyer of fiax-straw from Western
Minnesota, over in Nicolfet county
about eight miles north of Mankato.
The man was at the Mankato po-
| lice station yesterday afternoon. II
was liquor, more than anything else
| that made him SO helpless in his
predicament.
He had been in Minneapolis, where
he bought Ford. While there he
drank pretty heavily. His last meal
prior to his mishap, was about noon
Tuesday. He started out about that
| time from Minneapolis to run his Ford
all the way home. He figured on be-
ing in Mankato by evening and get
ting his supper here, but he did not
choose the roads just right. He ran
into hilly piece of country on the
other side of the river, and came to a
rough piece of road, where his engine
gave out.
He waited there all that night and
all the next day in the hope that some
body would rescue him. Like the un-
fortunate traveller on the road from
Jerusalem to Jericho, he was passed
by by several who went that way in
automobiles. 1t was not until yester-
day morning that the Good Samari-
TAM" neighboring farmer, came to
his rescue and furnished him with
food and drink. He was in that predi-
cament for two nights and a day. He
was out in Wednesday nights rain
storm, and his only protection was the
top that his auto fortunatelvs had.
A telephone message yesterday
reached the Mankato police station
and some of the officers went out to
the place in an automobile and
brought the man to Mankato. Ar
rangements were made to have the
disabled auto brought ALSO
| When found, the man was in very
nervous state, partly from the effects
of liquor and partly on account of the
bad luck and exposure that he had
undergone.

ZETTLER BEATS DETHLOFF
Tennis Tournament Has Opened ir
Earnest; Nice Crowds.
From SATURDAYS DaiIv


From Saturdays Daily.
DR.. Walter Zettler, playing like a
veteran, won the feature match of the
preliminary round by defeating Otto
Dethloff, who was regarded by many
as one of the probable prize winners.
The scores were 6-3, 1-6, ga. Zettler
won the first set by taking advantage
of Dethloff's errors. In the second set
Dethloff's drives and fast service were
too severe for his opponent whom he
allowed only one game. The third and
deciding set was repetition of the
first. Dethloff was unable to control
his speedy shots and Zettler's greater
steadness won him the match, GA.
F. Crowley showed the large crowd
of spectators how to come back with
strong play by defeating E. Silber 2-6,
7-5, 81. Silber looked like an easy
winner at the start, but Crowley who
was nervous regained his poise and
played wonderful tennis. The speedy
play of R. Seivert was altogether too
much for G. Schaefer whom he de-
feated 60 and 81. William Brink
man put up game fight against John
Butter one of the favorites for top
honors, but finally lost GA, and GA
Henry Stein drew a bye and H.
Dodge defeated Bratz by default.
Matches scheduled for today: at

Single Handed He Repulsed
German Back Attack
ROLE OF THE GUNMAN
Plays An Important Part In
Battle; How Deed Was
Accomplished
From Fridays Daily.
HENRY WOOD.


Paris, June 1O.-[By Mail. Emile
Alexandra Bigorne, machinegun op-
orator, has just been awarded the
Legion of Honor, the highest mill
tary decoration France can give to
an ordinary soldier. Bigorne won the
mark of distinction by repulsing
singlehanded a German counterat-
tack.
Not less than 500 Germans were
killed, wounded or put to flight.
Bigorne's exploit demonstrates to
some extent the role the machinegun
has come to play In the present war
where it is without question the most
formidable weapon now known. It's
death dealing effects far exceed thoco
of heavy artillery and are probably
only approached by the "Soixante-
quinze" guns of the French.
Following one of the French ad-
vances in the early part of the pres
ent offensive Bigorne found himself
holding down German trench in
company with dozen other machine
gun men. The Germans had kept
them isolated all night with a bar
rage fire and early in the morning
had shown indications of preparing
counterattack.
With the gradual increase of the
morning lights the Germans fire be-
came more accurate with the result
that one by one Bigorne's comrades
were killed. Orders had been given
to hold the trench at all costs. When
Bigorne found himself finally the
sole survivor with heavy German
counterattack preparing a few dozen
yards in front of him he gathered to-
gether the machinegun belts of his
dead comrades. Altogether he found
himself in possession of about 1000
cartridges.
Fed Gun Himself
Adjusting his gun and placing the
cartridge belts near where he would
be able to feed them in himself, he
waited until the first Germans were
close in before opening his deadly
fire. The Germans began falling.
First one by one. Then as they
crowded to the attack, by fives, then
by twenties and fifties Bigorne never
wasted a shot. Yet, as the Germans
went down by the score, still others
leaped up in their places.
In the end Bigorne found himself
with a last cartridge belt and
whole column of Germans still
swarming to the assault He fed the
belt in and then took a last, long
sweep across the entire front of the
approaching Germans. 1t was his last
cartridge but it proved sufficient, for
under his deadly aim, the entire col
umn broke and dashed back to its
trench.
For two hours Bigorne continued in
his position, waiting to see what the
Germans would do. Finally, he was
relieved before another attack was
launched, and on being conducted to
the rear he was greeted by his gen.
eral who announced that he was to
be recommended for the Legion of
Honor.

LIQUOR ENTERS INTO FIGHT

Washington, June 23.-Only fight
over the wet and dry issue can pre-
vent the food control bill from being
rushed through the senate. There is a
split, however, between the brewers
and distillers and it is not thought
probable that the liquor forces, can
unite in congress. However, deter
mined element of opposition has de-
veloped that may succeed in delaying
the passage of the bill by both houses
beyond July 1. This element is max
ing a fight for bill that will merely
curb the food spectators, and will
not seek to regulate the food problem
in any other way.
