John u. Rockefeller, Jr., vas in
Grand Forks for q few minutes this
noon. and a Herald reporter went
walking with him. He vas en- route
to New YORK. from the Orient, With
cr he had gone to formally dedicate
the medical school, ~dispensary and

Picking by the Rockefeller Institute.
He and his party were travelling in Mr..
RockCfeller's private car attached to
Great Northern Passenger Train No.
4 from the Pacific coast.
AS soon as No. 4 pulled into the
station, MIR. Rockefeller stepped down
out of his car to get a little exercise.
He vas stopped by the reporter, but
was not TO be cheated out of his walk.
Yes, I'm Mr.. Rockefeller" he said.

And n walk he gave! Up and down
the platform OF the depot, he led the
way for some ten or twelve laps,
turning sharply at each end of the
walk, but not losing a bit Of his
velocity in making the turn. The re-
porter trudged along, firing questions
the while.
"One cannot go to the Orient said
Mr.. Rockefeller in reply to the first

TRUCK OF LUMBER
GOES in BAYOU PIERRE
w. w. Hubbard, Riding on Truck, Suf-
fered Broken Leg and Other Injur-
les; Young Miller Driver, Escapes
Injury.

An accident which came near result
ing in the death Of two well known
men, occurred last Friday when
truck carrying trailer loaded with
lumber plunged through the Bayou
Pierre bridge between Hermanville
and Pattison. The driver, Roy Mill
er, son Of DR.. and Mrs. J. w. Miller
of Hermanville, escaped injury, but
W. w. Hubbard, well known BUSH
ness man of that place, suffered a
badly broken leg and other minor
injuries.
The truck had passed over the last
span of the bridge and the trailer was
still upon it when decayed eye beam
which had become weak from rust
broke, causing the entire span to give
way at that end and fall to the piers.
The traitor went to the bottom Of the
bayou, distance of twelve or fifteen
feet, landing upon. its wheels. As it
went down it pulled the rear Of the
truck back Of it, and the truck turned
turtle as it went down, falling bot
tom up on top Of the traitor. At it
went over, Mr.. Hubbard jumped in an
effort to catch the upper structure Of
the bridge. He barely reached the
frame work, but his hold was not
sufficient to sustain the weight Of his
body, and he fell to the bottom Of the
stream, tearing his hands as they
were forced away from the banister
Of the bridge, One leg was badly
fractured below the knee and the 9TH
er was injured,
Mr.. Miller remained In the seat,
and when the truck settled over him,
there remained Just sufficient room for
his body, and he crawled out uninjur-
ed. His escape was miraculous.
Mr.. Hubbard stood his injuries well,
and the last reports indicate that he
