a. bad automobile accident occurred
six miles south of Tyndall last Sun
day afternoon ebout FIVE o'clock. A
large car from Sioux City was speed
ing toward Running Water and was
going at the rate Of fully sixty miles
an hour. As they were passing a
corner Ford car driven by Miss Luz
lu Curl of Tyndall, and occupied by
herself, her sister Emma, and Miss
Glare Turnbull, came around the COR
ner. Miss Curl applied the brakes
and attempted to dodge the big car,
but the rear ends of the two cars coll
lidsd. The big car was rolled over
two or three times and the driver
Bert E. Hooker, of Sioux City, was
so badly injured that he died in about
an hour. Paul Gard who was in the
front seat with him was badly and
perhaps fatally injured. but three
other men vino were in the back seat
were only slightly injured. The Ford
car was also rolled over, but FORUM
ately the girls escaped with only
slight injuries. Mr.. Hooker was the
manager of the Everready Taxi Com
pany at Sioux City. Mr.. Gard is a
detective and has been working 70 To-
cate some stolen autoes which have
been taken by an organized band with
Headquarters in Sioux City. He had
succeeded in locating some of the
stolen cars at Bonesteel, and, accom-
panied by their owners, was rushing
to Running Water to take the boat
across the river, in the hopes of get
tine the cars and if possible appre
hend the thieves who are said to be
in hiding in that vicinity.

From the lynda ] Register.
S. j. Heitgen purchased the lot in
the east part Of town from H. l..
Taplett. This is fine lot and has
good foundation laid. The considera-
ton was four thousand dollars.
Miss Anna Kirk received an ele-
CANT present this week that is GER
tainIy dandy" An old Indian
lady friend of Miss Kirk sent her a
fine saddle. The saddle is covered
entirely with beads, red, white and
blue, with numerous Indian designs.
1t shows wear, as some of the beads
are worn off, no doubt has been iz
possession of the tribe for z great
many years. The work on the saddle
shows that it must have taken years
to make it. Miss Kirk has been off
cred $3.50 for the saddle. She says
that she will get divided skirt and
a pony and no doubt she will be fa-
miliar sight riding the pony around
Tyndall.

The claims of labor shortage do
not appear to be justified by ccndi-
tions in this state. The labor demand
for the harvest fields has as usual
been overestimated and overeupplied.
The result, according to reports from
the employment agencies, that there
are idle men in nearly every town,
unable to get work. Men who few
weeks ago would scorn SO cents an
hour are now ready to accept 30 cents
or even less. Many Of them are leav-
ing the harvest fields and working
back south to find employment in 9th
er lines The organization for regu-
lating the labor situation is far from
perfect. Besides the state labor bu-
reaus there are innumerable private
employment agencies. each run for
the money there is in it, and there is
no effectual method Of preventing
congestions.

"Cyclone' Davis in his Cbautau.

Cyclone" Davis in his Chautau-
qua address, defended the league pro-
vision turning over the Chinese prov
ince of Shantung to japan. on the
grounds that Japan is only taking
over rights that formerly we're held
by Germany. and was therefore taking
nothing from China. Literally this
is true but what title had Germany to
this province? Her title was simply
one of conquest, and to transfer the
spoils to Japan is simply giving en-
dorsement to the right of conquest,
one Of the things that the league is
supposed to condemn. Germany held
Aleace-Loraine by the same title
Suppose that Great Britain or Ameri-
ca should claim title to portions of
Alsace-Loraine on. the grounds that
they had taken it from Germany.
Would the league have sanctioned
such claim? The peace council
justly held that these provinces we're
stolen goods and rjghtfuily belonged
TO France. The same argument would
give Shantung back to China. The
only difference is that France is a
strong nation while China is weak.
While pretending to defend the rights
of the weak the league is in this case
bartering the rights of weak China in
order to court the favor of Japan
which is strong.
