broke under the weight of the car.
Altho the machine was running at but
twenty miles an hour the car turned

appearance of the ground the machine
turned over several times. All the oc-
cupants were caught under the car
The girls easily removed themselves
but the boy was pinned down. The
sisters after some effort affected his
release.
At this moment Albin Carlson who
was driving on the road arrived and
the car was righted. Mrs. John Dick
son,later driving past, took the girls
and the boy to the picnic grounds
where the parents were shocked to
hear of their experience. The parents
had been driving about half a mile
ahead of the children in the Ford and
did not realize what had happened
until the story was told at the picnic.
= AlY the children were somewhat
scratched and bruised. Ella, who
drove seems to have sustained sew
ere bruises but no serious injuries
befell any Of the occupants.
The car was badly crushed, wind
shield broken and other damage done.

CROOKSTON CONVENTION A
VERY PROFITABLE OCCASION

The City Of Crookston entertained
the delegates of the League of Mime
sofa Municipalities in royal style last
Wednesday and Thursday Nothing
was left undone for the comfort of the
visitors. Bands were on hand to meet
the incoming trains and to head the
procession from the convention hall
to the luncheon bot days, the latter
being served to all delegates in body.
A banquet was served Wednesday
night at the Northwest Agricultural
School of which C. G. Selvig is the
superintendent. This is a wonderful
institution which now has over 1900
alumni most Of whom are located on
farms in the famous Red River Val
ley of which Crookston is the metrop-
oils on the Minnesota side. The dele
gates from other sections Of Mime
sofa were inoculated with the spirit
of the valley and carried home an in
tensified favorable impression of this
bread basket portion of our great com
monwealth. The sessions of the con-
vention were filled with earnest dis
cussion of municipal problems and
state questions and were Of practical
benefit to all delegates who were in
most cases the mayors and members
Icf the suppression of crime the pro
posed state police or constabulary was
the most strongly contested point, The
convention went on records as being
absolutely opposed to any such estab-
l;shment. To judge by the expressions
made by the delegates the big majority
of Minnesota cities are thoroly pro-
gressiye in spirit, which BODIES we'll
for the future state when false barriers
which now divide the people are clear,
ed away. -.M III
Mayor Charles P. Booth Of Crock
ston and assistants are to be congrat-
ulated on the success, Of their efforts
to handle this convention. The Will
mar delegates are under great obli.
cation to Mr. S. M. Sivertson, formerly
OF this county, and brother of Mrs.
J. S. Sanderson of this city, for court
estes shown them.
One of the unusual features at
Crookston is a large municipal swim
ming pool built of concrete in a park.
Together with the bathhouse in con-
nection the expense to the city was
$4,000. The city has no lake within
or adjoining its borders, but the Red
Lake river, formidable stream, flows
thru it and furnishes much valuable
power. The treachery Of the river
currents has. proven fatal to so many
bathers that the swimming pool was
built to keep them out of the river.
