WARDS Off BOYS
DEATH WITH HAND
Samuel Jaffe Sustains Pain
full Injury, But Accom-
plishes Much

Samuel Jaffe manager of the Par
thcnon theatre is nursing a sore finger
with the light heart of man who was
prepared to sustain a broken leg and
escaped with a sprained ankle.
When Jaffe put his hand out OF the
Chicago Heights bus saturday afternoon
he didn't know whether he would ever
be able to use it again or not. And SO
he considers badly bruised and par
tally crushed finger TO be the minimum
injury to have been expected
The Chicago Heights bus in which
Mr Jaffe was riding had started south
on Holman street ana was at the inter
section of that thorou ghfare and Clint
on street when Alfred Schoenfelder,
year ola son Of a West Hammond violin
teacher. started to run across the street
in the path of the automobile. The
driver swerved to the left and the front
wheels barely missed the little fellow.
Mr. Jaffe. looking over the side. could
see that the contact would come just be-
meath his seat. He put his arm over
the side and laid his hand against the
body of the bus so that instead OF hit
ting the wood the boys head hit his
hand.
The boy fell back and rolled on the
pa vement. escaping with a few painful
bruises. Mr.. Jaffes finger started to
swell like a toy balloon but he didn't
mind.
Spectators said that Mr Jaffe saved
the boys skull from being fractured.
They crowded around the bus and in
sisted on shaking him py his sore hand.

Alfalfa Seed Growers
Handle Own Product

Pierre, Aug. 1.-THE Western
South Dakota Alfalfa Seed Growers
exchange, with headquarters at Rap
id City, now claims to have l,00O.-
0O0 bushels OF seed In sight for the
crop of this year.
They will hold a meeting at Rapid
City soon to decide as to the advis-
ability Of a manager outside OF the
officers OF the exchange. The pur-
pose of the exchange Is to keep the
handling of western South Dakota
alfalfa seed in their own hands, and
not allow it to be handled by dealers.
The exchange will give a certifi-
cate of purity with all the seed they
handle, and guarantee to be as claim
ed. and to do this they feel that they
must do the selling themselves and
not allow IL to be handled by outside
dealers.
They have their field agents out
listing UP the growers as rapidly as
possible and hope TO get the growers
of the western and central parts OF
the state solidly back OF the ex-
change.
