A Narrow Escape.

A serious accident was narrowly
escaped when Mrs. Celia Rodlun was
run down by an automobile, the same
of whose driver has not yet been
learned. The accident happened at
the corner near the Spieer Land Com
pany's Offices. Mrs. Rodlun was cross
ing Ltchf1eld Avenue when she sud-
denly saw the car turning around
the silent policeman and before she
could turn back the machine struck
her down and the two left wheels
passed over her lower limbs. The
driver was unable to stop his car be-
fore he reached the Ohsberg, Selvig
& Co.'s hardware store but when he
had done so, he returned and rendered
what assistance he could. Mrs. Rod
lun was dazed by the shock so had to
be- driven home in a car by Robert
Thompson, who lives east of town.
Altho bruised and slightly SCARED,
Mrs. Rodlun believes as well as those
who witnessed the accident that she
had lucky escape.
The accident occurred on Monday
of this week.

LESS SERVICE FOR

Demand of Government For Me-

to Close Nights.

On the request of the U. S. Govern
ment all garages are expected to cur
tail their service to the public very
materially, in order to release me-
chanicians for the army. After July
1st garages will be expected to close
at six o'clock every evening and all
day Sundays. No night shifts are to
work and no gratis adjustments what
ever are to be made. This on the
theory that car owners must learn to
work on their machines and make
small repairs themselves. The North
western Trade association of garage
men will meet at Minneapolis July l.,
to discuss the situation. The Willmar
garage men seen by the Tribune ex-
press themselves ready to cooperate
in making the new rules effective.
