Woman Dies Following
Auto Accident TUESDAY,
WAS on Wedding Trip

An automobile accident which pro-
we'd fatal to one OF the occupants of
the car resulted when an Oakland
Six, driven by VIM. Kirk, of Effing-
ton, S. D., failed to negotiate a
turn six miles west of Sank Centre.
Mr.. Kirk with his wife and three
other ladies left home at New Eff
fington, S. D., about week ago to
enjoy an auto trip to the Twin Cities
and return over another route. The
party passed through Sank Centre on
Tuesday evening enroute to Alexan-
dria, where they expected to spend
the night. They followed the state
road west and were making good
time, although not speeding, two of
the uninjured ladies told the Herald
representative, when they approach
ed the corner where the accident oc-
Cured. The widening of the state
road was completed some time ago
up to this point on the road leading
by what us known as the Haham
school six miles northwest of this
city. The road leading west from
this school house corner is also a
state road we are informed, but has
not been widened. Mr.. Kirk was
driving along at a good travelling
rate and was not aware that he was
approaching a turn until too late to
make it with safety. In attempting
to keep to- the road he was so I'M
fortunate as to swing out too far and
his car with its occupants went too
far to the north, leaving the road,
which was graded up about three
feet at this point but not "banked"
on the turn, and they collided with
a pole which is used as brace to
the telephone pole at that corner.
The right front fender was stripped
off, as was also the wheel, running
board and rear fender on that side.
The U-bolts which held the spring
and the front axel together gave way
and the axel was forced back, twist
ing the spring and bending the frame
on the right hand side as we'll. When
the car came to halt, Mrs. Kirk,
young wife of the driver, was pinned
in her position by his side in the
front seat. She was badly crushed
and pleading for the others to release
her, which they made vain attempts
to accomplish. The front wheels of
the car were useless and it was i'm
possible for the two ladies' and one
man to move the machine. The oc-
cupants of the wrecked car besides
Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk, were Mrs. Pearl
A. Beebe of Hankinson, S. D., and
a lady friend from St. Paul who had
joined the party at that city.
A car load of people who were in
the same party was not far behind
the unfortunate car. This machine
was driven by G.. Beeto of New Eff
fington, S. D., and also carried Nat

NATIONAL CAPITAL GIRLS
ON LONG HIKE

Mildred and Marion West of
Washington, D. c., clad in kah-
XII, hob-nailed boots and KNAPP
sack, hoofed it into the city on
Saturday afternoon of last
week enroute for the Yellow
stone National Park.
Mildred stated to the Herald
that they left Washington 8
weeks before with the sole
idea of living outdoors for the
summer, and visit the Yellow
stone park. They walked when
necessary and "speared' rides
in automobiles when possible.
Miss West said that they had
been most kindly treated en-
route and had ridden many
miles, but not by train.
They expect to reach Yellow
stone within a month and re-
turn to the nations capital late
in the fall. They will return by
the southern route.
The girls carried a "pup"
tent and other camp parapher
MALTA with them and looked
phyhically vt to complete their
journey.

TURNS IN ROAD SHOULD
BE MARKED

Mrs. Vim. Kirk is dead, from
injuries received when the car
in which she was riding failed
to negotiate turn in the road
and collided with brace of a
telephone pole.
From all information that we
can gain, the car was travelling
at a safe speed for the average
road.
Mr. Kirk, who was driving,
was unable to keep the road on
the turn because he was not
aware that he was approaching
corner until too late.
We have inquired of several
Sank Centre motorists who fire.
ugent this route and are in
formed that this particular cor
ner is bad because the road
leading north has been widened
while the one going west is still
narrow grade.
Motorists can be warned in
time by simple and inexpens-
i've means of placing two posts
with a board reaching from
one to the other, painted white.
Several truns in this vicinity
should be market in some way.

MOURN DEATH
OF Willis HOW

fOSTERED SAUk LAKE PARK
DR.. J. A. DUBOIS HIS CO-WORK-
Err IN PROJECT, PAYS
TRIBUTE

The announcement of the death OF
B. Willis How, for many years a
resident Of Duluth, has profoundly
touched the hearts of the people OF
Sank Centre; as MUCH, / venture to
say, as though he had always remain
ed an integral part of our own COM
munity., He had reached the age OF
Sc, and yet he has ever Deen to US
one of our boys. Such was the I'M
mortality of youth which he possess
ed
His keenness, his resoluteness, his
shrewdness LED him early into the
business ranks, and as a business
man he attained the success that his
faithful application deserved. Trivial,
however, would be- such a tribute to
his memory had his character been
stamped by these qualities only. But
willis was of a sensitive nature; and
a kindness. of disposition, quick
sympathies, and an inherent ge1ler-
osity of spirit supplied him with those
features lacking which a successful
business man becomes in reality an
absolute failure.
His natural inclination led him be-
yond his own personal interests, and
in rare degree he possessed what
we call public spirit. Such men al
ways leave an lndelible impression
upon the locality in which fate places
them. More than to any man OF the
older Sank Centre we are, indebted to
Willis How for our beautiful little
lake shore park. For it was his en-
ergy and youthful enthusiasm winch
succeeded in Transforming as resol-
ate and ruinous a spot as the earth
contained into a thing of beauty, and
a permanent source of recreation TO
MANY generations of our +nwnspeople-
Let this restful place remain ms
material monument at Sank Centre
speaking eloquently with its velvety
sod and swaying trees to those Oh
the future who shall enjoy it's quiet
when the memory of Willis How
shall have passed away with the ones
who knew him on this earth.-Dr. >.

Municipal Court for Several
Years-MOved West in 1917

Word was received in Sank Centre
Monday of this week of the death of
Judge Carey Diehl, which occurred
at Long Beach, CAL, Thursday, July
Ia, 1921.
Mr.. Diehl and family were resi-
dents of Sank Centre for several
years prior to 1917 when they moved
to California on account of the de-
clining health Of Mr.. Diehl. For a
number of years prior to moving out
west, the deceased was the munich
pal judge of Sank Centre. He was
an active Mason being affiliated with
the Blue Lodge, Royal Arch, Council
and Knights Templar bodies as well
as Naomi Chapter, order of the Eas-
tern Star, of Sank Centre. He was
one Of the directors and promoters
of the Masonic Building Association
at the time the Temple was erected
in 1916.
About the middle of the summer
in 1916, Judge Diehl accompanied a
large number of good road enthusi-
asts to Wadena in an endeavor to
land the jefferson highway for this
city. While at Wadena he suffered
a slight stroke of appolexy, and

tie Dahl and Alice Burdick, also of
New Ellington.
When they arrived on the scene,
Mrs. Kirk had been pinned in her
painful position for some few minu-
ces and all hands endeavored to move
the Kirk car, even hooking on the
Beeto machine in an attempt to use
motive power, but to no avail. Short
ly afterwards another car arrived
which contained two men and with
their assistance the lady was releas-
ed and placed in the back seat of the
Beeto car. Her husband and another
of the ladies accompanied her.. Mr..
Beeto made all haste possible in
reaching Sank Centre, where the lady
was taken to doctor. This was
about eleven-thirty Tuesday night.
The injured lady was given every
attention while Mr.. Beeto returned
to the scene of the accident and
brought the others of the party into
Sank Centre where they spent the
remainder of the night.
Mrs. Kinks condition was so seri-
Gus that it was decided to take her to
a hospital in the Twin Cities on the
four o'clock morning train. Her in
juries were of such serious nature
that she succumbed to them enroute,
death taking place between Clear
Lake and Minneapolis.
The deceased was bride of only
a few months, and was the second
wife of Mr.. Kirk, his first mate hav-
ing died. in the summer of 1920.
rney had not taken trip at the time
OF their marriage and this was their
delayed wedding journey.
Information that the Herald re-
porter was able to gain from many
people who have Travelled this road
frequently, leads to the belief that
this is an extremely bad corner even
at moderate speed. 1t is said that
Mr.. Kirk was not travelling too fast
for ordinary roads. This condition
of the road should be looked after we
believe and steps taken to make it
=
safe.
Mr.. Beeto and party left in his
carT Wednesday morning to complete
their journey to their home,

Paul were taken to Glenwood where
they boarded the 500 train for the
formers home. at Hankinson, S. D..

HEADLIGHT LAW EXPLAINED

Automobile headlights do not need
to be equipped with ground glass len
ses, according to an opinion given H.
r.. Olander of Deerwood by Assistant
Attorney General Markham. In his
opinion he states that the law re-
quires that where the lamp is so con-
structed that some rays rise above
the filament level, the upper portion
the lens must be so ground or obscur-
ed that the light above the filament
level shall be free from brilliant lus-
tire and so that it will not "blind" a
driver of another vehicle coming from
the opposite direction.

HIGH Court RULES

APPEAL TO U. S. TRIBUNAL is
LONE CHANCE TO KEEP
OUT OF PEN
CASE REARRANGMENT DENIED
NONPARTISAN LEADER MUST
APPEAL IN 80 DAYS OR u
GO TO JAIL ITs,

A. C.. Townley, president OF the
National Nonpartisan league, has but
one chance of escape left in his fight
against serving a 90 day sentence for
conspiracy to obstruct enlistments in
the wal-an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. Saturday
the Minnesota supreme court denied
a petition for the rearrgnment of his
case, terminating a bitter three year
fight in the courts Of the state to es-
cape a penalty.
The United States supreme court
already has upheld the Minnesota
+sedition law in the one instance IN
which it has passed on that law, on
an appeal by Joseph Gilbert Of the
conviction in Goodhue county for
which he is now serving term in the
Goodhue county Jail at Red Wing.
Failure of Townley to win freedom
from his conviction and sentence at
Jackson will mean like failure for
Gilbert, co-defendant in that trial.
Gilbert, if the United States supreme
court does not act, will serve 81 days
in Jackson county with Townley after
completing his year at Red Wing.
