WEATHER FORECAST for Kansas:
Partly cloudy and cooler tonight
and Sunday
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-08-02

The family did not know of the fire
until neighbor awoke them an hour
later. A mighty crash awoke Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcintyre about two-thirty, but
thinking the bolt had struck some dis
lance away, they merely commented
on the severity of the shock and
went to sleep. Their bed room was
one farthest from the barn and the
windows therefore could not reflect
the light of the fire. Furthermore
both parents had been up for several
nights with their son, who had been
ill, and were so fatigued that they
slept very soundly.
Four horses, three calves and 20
tons of hay, one granary, 800 bushf/;
of barley and all the harness was des-
troyed. The total loss was estimated
at $4,000 which was partially covered
by insurance. The insurance agent
was on the scene Tuesday and the al
lowance was made as follows and will
be promptly paid by the North Fork
Farmers Mutual Insurance Co. Barn.
$7O0; granary, $58; harness, $50; hay,
$40; barley $79; a horses, S33336;
8 calves $24. Total s1,248.36.

The people of Sank Centre are
mighty glad of the opportunity to en-

this splendid organization will do
more to advertise the beauties and
possibilities of Minnesota than can be
accomplished in any other manner.
The business meeting will be an In
formal affair and the citizens of Sank
Centre generally are invited to attend
and enjoy the discussion and plans for
the future. Undoubtedly there will be
an opportunity to become actively
affiliated with the Minnesota Scenic
Highway Association.

FaUoritism Will Not Be Alloued
BAD AUTOMOBILE AccI-
DENT ON TREAcHEROUS
GLENWOOD HILL FRIDAY

A terrible accident occurred Fri
day at GlenwOOd, when the large
automobile bus with a seating ca
pacity of from fourteen to sixteen
passengers tipped over while GO
ing down the Northern Pacific
hill. The eight year old girl of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Beal, who was
playing near, was struck across
the forehead by the fender and
the impact of the blow almost cut
off the top of her head. She died
instantly. This leaves the father
and mother childless, their boy
having died short time previous.
The family are well known in
Sank Centre and the news is
sheck to each friend. The driver
was the only one in the bus who
was injured. His injuries are
painful, but not necessarily SER
ious. The cause of the accident
has not been determined. I'm
doubtedly it was just one Of those
mistakes that might have come
from familiarity with surround
ings, and a blind trusting to
luck; while it is just as reasonable
to suppose that all the careful
driving in the world could not
have hindered the tragedy. .
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-08-02

In less than sixty hours the Herald's
"Profit-Sharing Club" campaign will
come to a close, and at least five men,
bers who have worked throughout
the campaign will receive bonuses
ranging in value from SIS to 1885
and all will receive a SIS salary in
addition.
The race has been an unusual one in
the fact that all who are finishing
have at some time or other in the
campaign held the largest number of
credits including reserve, but even
now those who are leading with a
slight advantage refuse to believe
they have a chance while some who
will have the hardest kind of battle
to win are working their hardest.
When the judges make the final re-
port of the credits issued during the
campaign several candidates who are
likely to lose the car by single sub
scription or two will catch their
breath and wish they had taken warm
ing and put their whole force into the
work.
Today's list of the members who
will finish the work represents but
little as any member with two possible
exceptions may win the Ford car.
Certainly all have much better
chance for the larger bonuses than
they themselves believe and in spite
of all the encouragement the manage
ment can give a number of the So
licitors who have the highest stand
ings are reluctant to believe they
have real opportunity.
A few rules are mentioned here
which will govern the closing of the
campaign.
All subscriptions must be accom-
panied by the cash to balance.
All reserve credits must be deposit
ed in the ballot box before 9 p. M,
Saturday night, but candidates, who
are in the Herald office before nine
o'clock will be given chance to turn
in their subscriptions regardless OF
the time it requires. Credits issued
during the campaign are not trans
ferable, and there is no way for any
solicitor to secure credits unless they
have been issued to the candidate di-
rectly for subscriptions turned in.
Positively all members of the "Proft
| Sharing Club" must be in the Herald
office at 9 p. M, in order to be given
chance to turn in subscriptions. II
these regulations are kept in mind
there will be no chance of misun-
derstanding.
Two days work will practically de-
eide who wins the Ford car. A Ford
for two days work is chance of q
lifetime.

ACCUSED TODD COUNTY
OFFICER RESIGNS HIS
POSITION UNDER FIRE

The taking of testimony in, the
case of the State of Minnesota
; against Victor s. Knutson, for the
past eight years superintendent
of the Todd county schools, came
to an abrupt close Tuesday morn
ing when KnutsOn rendered his
resignation to the board of Coun-
ty Commissioners, and the same
was Immediately accepted.
Knutson was charged with
malfeasance and nOnfeasance in
office, and his petty populations
covered period of time. The
amounts in each individual case
were too small to permit charge
of grand larceny to be placed
against him. County Attorney
Wood had multiplicity of reli-
able evidence and was not
through examining witnesses
when Knutson threw up his hands
and resigned. The hearing lasted
for 10 days. The going to pieces
of KnutsOn was something of
surprise as he was looked upon
as enc of Todd COunty's high
grade citizens.

SAUK CENTRE LADY
MORTALITY INJURED
LIFE OF MRS. I'll, G.. VENNEWITZ
HANGS BY THREAD AS RE-
SUIT OF FALL.
JUMPS FROM AUTO in STORM
PLEASURE RIDE ENDS IN
TRAGEDY---GIVES UP LIFE
TO SAVE BABE,

The terrific wind storm that broke
in Sank Centre about nine o'clock last
Sunday evening, besides leaving loss
of property in it's wake, caused a
tragedy that has saddened the hearts
of Sank Centre people since the news
of the occurrence spread. Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Vennewitz and family,
accompanied by Mr., and Mrs. Leo
Held of Browerville were riding
through the city streets in the Venn s
WITT car, when the storm broke
were near the Chas. Miller residence
on Pine street. Some one shouted
"Cyclone," Mrs. Vennewitz, who was
holding the baby, became very much
alarmed and told her husband to stop
the car so that they could find shelter
in some home. Mr.. Vennewitz immed-
lately shut off the power, but in her
nervous haste, his wife did not wait
until the car stopped, but holding the
baby, jumped. The others got out OF
the car and rushed back to find out
if she were hurt. They found her
lying on her back motionless. Think
ing that she had tainted, her husband
carried her into the Miller home and
summoned doctor. When the physic-
ian arrived Mrs. Vennewitz had not
recovered consciousness and an ex-
animation brought to light a serious
case. The base Of her skull was frac-
tured.
The exact cause of the accident can
not be determined, but the SUPPOSE
ton is that in her efforts to save the
child, Mrs. Vennewitz, was unable to
break her own fall and in some way
struck her head, presumably on a
stone. Another physician was called
Immediately and after consultation it
was agreed that she could not live.
At this writing "Wednesday Mrs.
Vennewitz is still alive, but has not
regained consciousness. It is there
fore hard to tell what her condition
really is and until consciousness re-
turns it will be uncertain what the
outcome will be.
Although the storm put the tele-
phone system out of commission, Mr..
Held drove at once to Browerville, the
home Of the parents of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Vennewitz. They and other rela-
tives have since been in Sank Centre.
The sympathy of the Herald, to-
gether with all Sank Centre goes out
to the husband and relatives. Believ-
ing in the old saying, "While there is
life, there is hope" people are wait
ing for good news.
Later-Just as the Herald goes to
press word from the bedside of Mrs.
Vennewitz conveys the information
that her condition is extremely
critical.

MEDICAL EXPERTS ARE COMING
Infiantile Paralysis Victims Will Have
Opportunity to Receive Advice on
Improving Their Condition.

The Minnesota State Board of
Health are putting forth every ct
fort to stamp out infantile paralysis
in the state. To this end Clinic ot
eminent specialists will be held at the
Public School building, Sank Centre,
August Z, 8, 9, 10 and II.
All those having had infantile par
alysis should get in immediate touch
with City Health Officer DR.. y. +,
Moynihan, who is cooperating with
the State Board to make the Sauk
Centre gathering success.
Besides patients from Sank Centre
those from Morrison, Pope, Todd and
Douglas counties will come to Sank
Centre for examination. Patients will
be examined any time between 10 a
m, and o'clock p. m. The Heralc
understands that patients able to pay
will be expected to do so, but If yor
are not in position to pay for the
service do not hesitate because the
service will be at your disposal with,
out charge.
The work of the clinic is largely
of an educational nature. Patients
are examined and the weakened
muscles are discovered. Proper ex.
ercises are then recommended te
the parents. It has been found from
experience that persistence practical.

Notes of the Storm.

Mrs. E. Schroeder of Long Prairie
fell from her carriage when her horses
became frightened and ran away dur
ing the storm Sunday. When found
a little later, she was lying at the
side Of the road. The physician who
was summoned, found that her neck
had been broken.
Several barns and silos were blown
down or partially wrecked in the
windstorm on Sunday evening. Among
others were the Kane, Conzak and
Winnege barns. Most of the loss is
covered by insurance and work will
begin on new barns at once. In the
city, no special harm was done ex-
cept for the loss of many trees. The
towns, northwest Of Sank Centre were
not as fortunate.
