SECTION HANDS
ARE INJURED
AND HANSEN, HURT
WHEN HANDCAR AND AUTO
COLLIDE IN GREAT MISERY.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 4.-Information
from a local hospital this morning
was to the effect that Jack McGibbon
and Emil Hansen of Sioux Falls, who
were injured Saturday night when an
automobile and a Milwaukee railroad
gasoline handcar, on which they were
riding, collided at a grade crossing,
were suffering considerable pain.
McGibbon received a broken leg
and nose, numerous cuts and bruises
and possible internal injuries while
Hansen's injuries were chiefly eX-
ternal. consisting of numerous pain
ful cuts and bruises.
Lars p Larson and Soren Hanson
also of Sioux Falls, other passengers
on the handcar, were cut and bruised
but not seriously.
The accident happened about dusk
at a grade crossing near the Loonan
farm, five miles southeast of Sioux
Falls
The handcar with its crew of four
men, all among the list of injured.
was speeding to Sioux Falls from
Canton. Neither the driver of the
automobile nor Soren Hansen, fore
man of the crew, who was plotting
the handcar, were aware of each 9TH
er's approach. AS a result the ma
chimes came together with a crash at
Ihe crossing.
Soren Hansen was thrown clear of
the wreck, but the other three work
men were hurled against the side of
the automobile with considerable
force.
The automobile was badly dam
aged The occupants, farmer and
his family, the name of whom could
not be ascertained, were uninjured.

rushed to local hospital in car be-
longing to Frank Barnett, of Sioux

VILLA HAS NOT
YET GIVEN UP
BANDIT LEADER FAILS TO AR
RIVE AT TORREON-THINK
HE Is UP TO OLD TRICKS.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 4-Failure of
news TO arrive here that Francisco
Villa, bandit chief, has reached Tor
reon to complete his surrender to
the de la Huerta government has
caused the belief to spread that Villa
may not intend to surrender after
all and is making the government the
object of another trick
1t was pointed out today that on
scores of previous occasions the rebel
leader has misled the government
and many Americans and MeXicans
here, who are well posted on MeXi-
cos affairs, have never believed that
Villa intended to lay down his arms
and retire to private life.
To bear out their statements that
Villa has not agreed to a complete
abandonment of his military objec-
ton, these persons declare that even
should he decide to settle down on
his ranch it will require a large per-
sonal body guard and a system of
sentry approaches to protect him
from the hundreds of his personal
enemies.
And they add significantly that
Villa has never yet been caught off
guard.

Thrifty Farmer Has
Profitable Mud-HOle

Pierre, Aug. Auto drivers on
the road in Faulk county between
Redfield and Faulkton complain of
farmer near Zell who owns the land
adjoining a large mud-hole or pond
across the highway.
He has no crop on the land near
the pool, but keeps his son stationed
there to collect SO cents from each
auto driver who wants TO drive
around the home.
The only option is to go back for
several miles and drive on lines
which will carry the traveller around
the water in another direction.
The drivers who are being held
up" are making a roar which is loud
and long, and their language should
soon dry up the pool in the highway
if the rains would let us for short
time.

BLOCK LIMESTONE NEAR FOR

MORE THAN CENTURY OLD.

Pierre, Aug. A footprint in
stone is put up by an Iowa town as
cause for more than usual notice of
the world.
But Forest City, opposite Cheyenne
agency, SO miles up river from this
city, can go the Iowa town one bet
ter in their showing of Medicine
Rock" a gathering place for the In
dams before Lewis and Clark came
up the Missouri more than century
ago.
This is a block of limestone about
5 feet long and seven or eight feet
wide, which bears plain imprints of
five different tracks of a large bare
foot.
Two of these point down hill, and
show deep indentations of heel marks
and light toe marks. Three point up
hill and show deep indentations of
toe marks and light heel marks. The
indications are that the deep heel
marks were made by running, and the
steps are far apart, and the others
while going at slower pace, as they
are nearer together.
The slab lies a short distance ur
the hill from the river valley and
presents plainly the marks of the
tracks.
Plaster casts of these tracks have
been taken and are on exhibition in
the state historical department. Just
how these marks were made no one

labor.
With DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, of
New York, the senator discussed the
possibility of establishing a depart
ment of health in the federal govern

for higher salaries for school teach
ers and clergymen.
Representative F. C.. Hicks of New
York, just back from a trip through
the west. reported rising Harding
sentiment in western states.
Senator Harding sent the following
message to Mrs. J. Frank Hanly, In

tured the event in 2145 seconds, which
was good time as the race was run

HELLO, SUMNER!
Hello, Summer!

Hello, summer!
There never was another summer
like you, young 'un.
The fish in the Ozark creeks were
never Just the same sizes they will
be this summer. Fishermen will see
more of Nature and fewer and small
er fish this year than ever before
YOU see, "bait" is being given exclu-
sively to fishes.
While we are on the subject, that's
another reason, Summer, why you
are sure to be different from all the
rest. There win be less recreation
imbibed from glassware and more
from the landscape.
You will see more money made and
spent in this country than was ever
made and spent in any summer since
Priscilla went blackberrying with
John Alden. Pessimists say there Will
be more money spent than earned
and more goods bought than produced.
Don't worry too much about that
Summer. Just give us day after day
of sunshine to pull the cornstalks tall
and now and then throw in a rain to
keep them green. Just attend to that
and well manage to be alive to well
come the Summer that comes after
you.
OF course your heat will make many
Columbians forget to fill up their
Easements with coal until you've gone.
But then probably the neighbors, or
the church, or Providence will let
them come in and keep warm until
spring.
Oh, yes! Please be kind to the poll
ticians, Summer! They must do loads
of work-telling every man and wom-
an in the county about the best man
for each office. But make them
sweat. Their work is worth sweating
over.
