United States and Canada and It has
the record of having made two trips
from New York@to the Pacific coast
1t has earned a tremendous amount
of newspaper discussion and formed
the theme OF addresses from hun

KLENK BADLY HURT

While working with the tractor
the farm of his father, G. K1enk,
north of town in the edge of Graham
county, Monday afternoon William
Klenk- sustained a very serious acci-
dent and but for his presence of mind
and nerve it would have been more
serious.
He had been discing in the field
with the, tractor outfit during the day
and about O'Clock in the evening he
was visited by Merle Sites. Mr..
Sites left him and started for his
home. After he had gone about a
mile he looked back and noticed that
William was not making the progress
that he should be. He felt an impress
sion that he should return as some
thing might be wrong. When he
came to the outfit he found that Mr.
Aenk had in some way gotten caught
under the tractor bull wheel and be-
tween it and the disc in such a way
that he could not get out. It seems
he had reversed the engine for some
reason and as it backed up it caught
him. Fortunately he was within reach
OF the lever and had presence of
mind enough to shut off the engine
before he was crushed to death. DR..
Herrick and other assistance was call

liam was seriously injured. Arrange
ments were hurriedly made and he
was taken to the hospital at Hays
accompanied by his parents, DR.. Her
rick, w. J. Beardwell and Merle Sites
The examination showed compound
fracture of the right leg below the
knee, a badly injured great toe and
other bruises. He withstood the oper-
alton of dressing the wound very sat
isfactoryly and at last reports he
| seemed to be in first class condition
| with good prospects ahead.
Joshua Croft reports that a wrist
watch belonging to his daughter, Miss
Evelyn, was stolen from the dresser
| in her room about 5 o'clock Tuesday
evening. She priced the watch very
much as it was a present to her from
one of the schools she had taught. The

TORNADO NEAR BANNER
SUNDAY

The. people of this county in the
vicinity of Banner were considerably
disturbed last Sunday evening about
5 o'clock by the appearance of fun
mel Snapped cloud which promised to
disturb things considerably if it
should strike the ground. It did come
down for little while and played
with things on the earth while it
travelled few miles. Only the sparce-
ly settled country prevented there be-
ing considerable damage done. The
farm home of Walter Moreu was the
first resistance in the storms path
and the little old twister had consid-
cradle amusement while it smash
ed into kindling wood all the buildings
on the place but the house, killed a
horse, injured some others and killed
seven head of cattle. The course Oh
| the storm was from northwest tc
southeast which is very unusual, anC
the next buildings in its course were
| those of Carl Inloes. At his farm ths
house was completely destroyed bu
none of the other buildings were dam
aged much The tornado then con
sfnued ON its course to the southeas
for several miles but it did not strik
any buildings until it reached tn
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Luck where i
tore up some of the outbuildings, des
troyed some wheat and farm ma
, chinery. Considerable damege wa
done to fences and crops Presum

The girls of the Domestic Science
class of the High School gave a six
O'Clock luncheon and a handkerchief
shower at the home of Miss Mur1e
Munson Tuesday evening. The 1un-
cheon was in honor of Miss Weaver,
their instructor in Domestic Science,
and was complete surprise to her.
The house was decorated in the school
colors, and the table with Ii1acs Gov
ers were laid for the thirteen young
hostesses and the women members of
the faculty.
Those who were skeptica1 as to the
real value of Domestic Science, or the
ability of the sophomore girls should
have seen with what ease and grace
this dainty luncheon was prepared and
served.
