Color of Stra.u Same
As That of Roadway
Cause Of Auto Running Into Rear
End Of Wagon, Madison
- Lake Highway

Because the straw was OF the
same color as the roadway and was
not distinguishable in the Light
from his auto lamps, John Dancer,
driving a car owned by Henry This
sen of the Madison Lake road, ran
into the rear end OF Joseph Dauk's
farm wagon loaded with baled
straw Saturday evening about eight
o'clock and from tina: point things
moved with considerable accelera-
ton for a few minutes. The team
was driven by Mr.. Dauk's son. Inc
boy with his team and load was
proceeding toward Mankato and
Dancer, farm hand at the Thissen
farm was also going to Mankato.
Dancer was driving at a speed
estimated at twenty miles per hour
when he suddenly collided with the
rear, end Of the Dauk wagon. The
reach of the wagon broke and when
the horses jumped, they tore loose
the front wheels and with this light
load they set off at a gallop toward
their home hangers.
+ Dancer scrambled out of the car
fearing that the driver OF the wagon
was buried under the baled straw,
began throwing the bales about at a
lively clip, all the time calling to the
driver>-to ascertain his whereabouts
Dauk was later discovered standing
beside his tumbled load, unfnjured
as was Dancer.
The car was smashed in the for
ward end, the radiator, fender ana
one wheel taking the brunt of the
shock.

Parties Conducting
Open Dances Enjoined
Judge Meighen Of Albert Lea Puts
Matter Up To Court For Trial
On Merits.

Albert Lea, September 25.--About
q month ago a restraining order was
issued by I. Z. Ingebritsen, Court
Commissioner Of Freedom County,
restraining the conducting OF dances
at what is known as the Lakeside
Pavilion, in the town OF Albert Lea,
unless the proprietors should first
obtain q license from the town board.
The hearing was fixed and the de-
PENDANTS were orderd to show cause
before Judge Meighen on September
Is, 1922, why temporary injunction
should not issue against them.
The matter came on for hearing
before Judge Meighen on the 18th
of September. J. o. Peterson, coun-
ty attorney, represented the Town Of
Albert Lea and Norman f. Peterson,
the defendants. The position OF the
county attorney being that the town
board had been granted authority by
the state legislature TO regulate
dance halls within their town and it
would necessarily follow that there
must be some way of enforcing such
ordinance when adopted. The legis-
lature net having authorized the
the only way TO enforce such ordin-
ance was b. injunction N case IL
were violated.
The position taken by the defend
ant was that the proceed ding was
criminal and that the state having
failed to fix penalty. the town
board could fix none, and that such
ordinance could not DE in force.
Judge Meighen, however. after
having the matter under considera-
ton for week granted a temporary
injunction against the defendants,
Clarence Nelson and Gilbert Dahl,
but not against the defendant ~ x.
Nelson on the ground that ". K. Nell
son denied that he was in any way
connected with or the owner of the
dance hall in question and further
that he would not attempt to operate
any dances at the place.
