Directly under our feet huge torpedo shot forward towards our ship which was of wood. We could see its white path under water as it started directly towards the middle of the big ship.
 There was a terrific convulsion or the water. The middle of the ship rose 1 5 feet clear, broke in halves and the bow and stern dropped back into the water first. I do not know why. but laughed as I saw my ship settle down by the bow, the stern rose 40 feet in the air and in about 30 seconds ,, disappeared from view.

TWO ACCIDENTS
MANS TEAM RUNS AWAY-AUTO
TIRE ENPLODES IN AN
OTHERS FACE.

While loading oil at an oil station
neal the tracks last night, the team
belonging to George Hide. living in
the north part of the city, became
frightened by an engine switching
nearby, and started to run. He was
unable to regain the reins for a time,
and when he did the wagon overturn-
ed, severely decorating his head,
breaking one rib. and bruising his
body. At first his injuries were
thought to be severe, but he recov-
cred later sufficiently TO be removed
to his home.
Ernest Wellman, living east of
Rutland, while on the road near that
town with his automobile, had some
tire trouble. In replacing the casing
on the rim. one side was not secure.
He was pumping air at the time, and
asked his wife, who was in the car,
TO ra tool to pry the refractory casing
back into place. The tire burst while
in close proximity to his head, tear
ing the scalp back across the whole
of his forehead. As there was no
rubber missing from the bursted
tire, and there was no other solid
material that could strike him, il is
thought that ii was the sudden pres
sure and impact of escaping air that
injured him. 1t was to all intents
and purposes an explosion in as far
as its effects were concerned.

FLOUR CASE
ALL UNDER BONDS-TWO OUT
|LENIENCY URGED BY
COUNTY OFFICERS.

Culver Frost was arraigned in
Justice Sponholz's court this morn
ing and waived examination. He was
placed under bonds of $500 to appear
at the October term of court. Bond
for neither him nor Sandman have
yet been furnished. Gilbertson and
nished last night.
The men have confessed every
thing, each and severally, officers
say. 1t is the policy of the author
tiles to deal leniently with them.
While they might now plead guilty
to the charge by appearing before
the court in chambers at Sioux Falls,
most of them have families, all have
those who are dependent on them.
and they will be allowed their free
dom this summer, both to supply
their dependents with some of the
immediate necessities and to demon
strate to the court that they can go
straight.
1t is thought that with evidence TO
show the court that they have con-
Quoted themselves with P~uritanical
rectitude during the summer will go
lar lOWdTu mitigating the severity Ol
a sentence which might be imposed
upon them. There is a chance, upon
the recommendation of officers, that
even the whole sentence may be held
in suspension, the men being released
upon parole, as it we're. In such
case any minor transgression or eve
misdemeanor would end their parole,
and they would be committed to
serve their complete sentence.
Another matter in favor of the
men is the fact that none of the flour
was offered for sale. All has been
recovered except the small portion
actually used by the families of the
unfortunate men. 1t was plain that
they were not taking the stuff with
a view to pecuniary profit, but took
it with the same view that formerly
improvident persons have held-that
of buying when it is cheap and hold
ing il for use against rising prices
only they did not kick in with the
cost price in the conventional way.

MERCHANTS MEET
FEED AND OTHER THINGS DIS
CUSSED-STORES CLOSE ON
MEMORIAL DAY.

The Merchants association met in
deferred session last night, with a
good representation in spite of the
sudden and dark storm. Many of
the large membership were unable to
be present both on account of the
rain, and for other reasons of bust
ness.

meeting by Vice President III. j.

place of President E. j. Sutton, de-

Secretary Rowland read letters

The registration of new members
was announced. Thos. Walden, one
of the new members, in response to a
request for a few words, expressed
himself as being pleased at having
been made a member. He also took
advantage of the opportunity 10 re
move some of the obscurity sur
rounding the understanding of the
new government Liberty loan. He
explained that the country was divid-
ed into districts. and that even the
counties held separate local organic
ations for taking applications for the
bonds. According to the valuation OF
the county. this county should sub
scribe for about $4,000. that being

Following the business meeting, an
adjournment was taken, and lunch

into debating units about the hall,
finally sitting out to their various
homes.
