STOLEN MACHINE
DEALS OUT DEATH
WRECKED NEAR ELK POINT
THE DRIVERS NECK
Is BROKEN

Sioux City, June 15.-Berli w.
Messick, 20-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John E. Messick, 2607 T nth
street, was almost instantly killed,
when the automobile in which he AMI
Raymond Beard, 321 Douglas street =,
were riding, turned turtle about two
and one-half miles east of Elk Point
S. D., Saturday night about 1890
o'clock
Messick, who was driving the car,
apparently was unacquainted with
the road. A short distance west of
the Milwaukee railroad crossing, the
road makes sharp turn. Messicl
did not make the turn and struck Il
small rise in the road about two feet
high. The right front wheel crushed
and the car turned over, pinning both
of the two young men under the ma
chine.
Beard, who sustained a fracture of
the right arm, and body bruises, sue
ceeded in eXtricating himself and
then pulled Messick from under the
other automobile and were taken to
Elk Point. Messick, whose neck was
broken, died a few moments after
being taken from under the wrecked
car. Persons who witnessed the ac-
cident, estimated the speed of the
car at fifty miles an hour.
The young men were on their way
to Sioux Falls, where they planned
going to work in a grading camp
They didn't have sufficient funds to
pay their way on a train so they de-
cided to make the trip by automobile
A large touring car, belonging to C.
M. Walters, of the Grandview apart
ments, at Twenty-first and Pearl
streets, which was parked at Sixth
and Pierce streets, was taken by the
men. The machine was completely
demolished.
Beard was taken to the Jail in Elk
Point, where his injuries were dress
ed He was brought to Sioux City
by Deputy Sheriff Henry Duhaime
yesterday and removed to the county
Jail. He is being held for investiga-
ton. He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur l.. Beard, of Yakima, Wash,
who formerly conducted grocery
store in Sioux City. Young Beard
had been working at the Union Ad-
vocate.
Messick, who had been employed
at the Iowa Broom works, had not
lived at home during the last two
years. His father will go to Elk
Point today to claim the body. Fun
eral arrangements have not been
completed.

HOGS MARKETED
DESPITE WEATHER
FARM TRUCKS PLAY IMPORTANT
PART IN BRINGING LIVE
STOCK TO LOCAL
MARKETS

Sioux Falls, June 15.-Another
strong argument for the farm truck
is making itself heard these hot days
as load after load of hogs are brought
into the Sioux Falls markets via mo-
tor truck, to be placed upon the block
under the prevailing high prices. A
conservative estimate is that there
have been an average of between
so and rs loads day brought to the
local markets since the completion of
corn planting and the first really hot
weather. They come from points
within a radius of IL to IS miles
and show no effects of the trip or
any appreciable loss.
Formerly, it is pointed out farmers
who lived any distance from town
and had hogs ready to sell at this
time of. the year were simply "out of
luck" To attempt to bring them
in in a springless wagon drawn by
hoTses was a long tedious task and
usually proved fatal to at least one
or more of the cargo no matter what
precautionary measures were taken.
If he did not get the stock to market
the breeder ran the chance of losing
the fat hogs in his yards for it is Il
well known fact that marketable
hogs cannot stand excessive heat. In
the case of the man who had to have
ready money at this time of the year
TO pay for his help or other neces-
sites it worked a double hardship.
The packing plants and stock yards
are glad to see these hogs come to
market at this time as it aids in
keeping a continuous flow of stock
going through their hands and over
comes the necessity of laying off eX-
ira hands.

ton campaign manager for Senator

Collins Case
Now Adjusted

Groton, June 15.-The people in
this vicinity have just learned of the
settlement of the matter of the Col
Inns defalcation.
The amount claimed by the state
was $4,000, with interest for about
Is years.
The shortage took place while G.
B. Collins was a resident of Groton
and was state treasurer, and it con-
sisted of the appropriation by Collins
of interest funds to his private use.
This had been a common practice
at that time but the court ruled it
was illegal and ordered the deficien-
cy made good.
This he failed to do, SO the burden
was placed on his bondsmen, many
of whom were residents of this COM
munity. The matter was so arranged
that each of the local parties was
forced to pay but 1926.

ORPHAN BOY At
CANTON BROWNS
WHILE SWIMMING WITH OTHER
BOYS IN SIOUX RIVER LAD Is
VICTIM OF HIGH WATERS

Conton, June 15.-Henry Peterson,
an orphan boy, was drowned Friday
noon in the Sioux river, while In

current, the lad drowned near the
chautauaua grounds. Henry and

Dakota with some other orphans
from New York and were placed in
homes at Pierre. The homes not
proving satisfactory, Miss Anderson,
the matron from New York, came
west this week and brought the boys
to Canton Thursday where they were
temporarily staying at the Dan Thof-
son home, and they were to be placed
later in good Canton homes. The
bows had obtained permission to go
fishing and upon seeing several local
boys in swimming the temptation
proved too great.
The younger brother aged IA
years was overcome almost as soon
as he went into the water being
swept away by the swift current. HIS
brother Henry rushed to his assist
ance and after a hard struggle to
save his brother sank beneath the
water and was drowned. Dick Ever
hart of Canton rushed to the scene
and saved the younger brother. The
body was not found until three hours
