Three People Badly Hurt
In Auto Collision Monday
S. P. Hansen, Sr., and Children Wit
ness Accident Near Sank Rapids
Responsible Party Escapes

Monday morning S. P. Hansen ac-
companied by his daughters, Mrs.
Ann Biglow, and Isabel, Mrs. Percy
Hansen and son Jack, took Dwight
Hansen to St. Cloud where the lat
ter. caught bus for Minneapolis and
has resumed his work with the
Northrup King & Co., after having
been called home by the death of his
brother, Loren.
Returning to Sank Centre the Han
sen party came by way of Little
Falls and when about three miles
northwest of Sank Rapids on high
way No. 27, they came upon most
serious automobile accident in which
"a Ford touring car, driving east was
forced into the ditch and turned over,
pinning the occupants, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. B. Scarvin of Clearbrook, and
Miss Theresa Scarvin of DEBORAH, Ia,
underneath. The unfortunate victims
were eXtricated from underneath
the smashed car by motorcycle po-
liceman. An ambulance was called
from St. Raphaels hospital, st.
Cloud where the three unfortunate
people were taken and the numerous
cuts and bruises cared for. The
women were unconscious when they
were picked up. Scarvin was driv-
ing at speed of about 80 miles an
hour when another car moving at
a high rate of speed overlook them
and in passing cut in too close. lock-
ing wheels with the Scarvin car,
throwing them into the ditch, the man
responsible for the accident speed
ing away leaving his victims to their
plight.
Reports from the hospital at st.

Mr.. Coolidge is assured of great
strength in these territories but the
Democratic spokesman insist that Mr.
Davis will win sufficient number OF
electors to his side in these contested
territories. It is conceded that the
LaFolltte candidacy will attract cleo
tors from the northwestern and some
Of the western states, although po-
litical conditions are in such a tur-
mol that nobody ventures predictions
as to the vote which a third party
will poll in November.
AS the political imbroglio becomes
more distinct the Importance of the
fictitious college will be more ap-
parent as it is three principal con-
testants.
The term college" is perhaps mis-
leading as it is intended to apply to
the meeting of electors but is no wise
a constitutional designation. The law
specifically requires that the electors
shall meet in their respective states on
particular day for the purpose of
balloting on the candidates for the
Presidency, and when their votes are
duly cast, listed, signed and certified,
the Constitution requires that they
be submitted under seal to the Pres
ident of the Senate. This duly being
ended, the college ceases to exist for
anothr four years.

silver sheet, is Tom Moore in the
role of Jimmy Donovan, the leader Of
the Car Barn gang on New York's
lower East side. 1t is doubtful if
Moore ever had a more appropriate
role. Edith Roberts, whose recent

finds her in greater popularity than
ever, plays the feminine lead. Then

"Big Brother" is penetrating
story of the lower East side, realist-
ically and adroitly done. In Jimmy
Donovan the author, Rex Beach has
painted a character humane and low
able. The story concerns the resolu-
tons of the gang leader to correct
his ways after his lieutenant had
been killed by the bullet from the
gun of a leader of a rival gang. In
dying the lieutenant had asked his
chief to take care of his little broth
er and to bring him up different.

trlct.

ing interests in Iowa, and has in one
way or another devoted his life to

A VALUABLE RELIC

Last Saturday as George Rice was
working on the grounds of the old
Stockade, corner of Birch and 7th
street, he unearthed a five franc sill
yer piece which had undoubtedly lain
in the ground since Stockade days in
1862 when a number of French took
refuge there during the Indian out
breaks. The piece is about the size
of silver dollar; perhaps trifle
lighter. On one side is the figure
five, then the word "francs, 1891"
This is in the center of scroll of
wild flowers. On the other side is a
large picture of Louis Philippe l.,
with the inscription "Roi DIES Fran
Gals. This very interesting relic
Mr.. Rice prizes highly.
