the new association. should it

The cash value of the business

at 80 cents a bushel, is estimated
at $4.800.0O0 a year.
The gross membership on jan
uary was 6,792. and was grow.
ing at the rate Of more than 150
contracts a day. A lull in con.
tract receipts is expected until
January 10, due to the fact that

BRUNO FOLKS IN
AUTO MASH-UP
Four Members Of Brei!and
Family Severely
Injured.

Special to the American. -.
While returning home in auto
mobile from a visit with relatives
in Minneapolis Monday afternoon
Mrs. Nels Breiland and her three
grown-up children. Albert. Clar-
ence and Marvina. living south
east of Bruno, were severely in
jured in a head-on collision with
another car which occurred near
Rush City, resulting in many
severe cuts and bruises.
The accident happened late in
the afternoon about 5 o'clock.
Two men occupied the other car
but they were little hurt. All
four of the Breilands were rem
dered unconscious from the
heavy impact, Miss Marvina be-
ing the first to regain conscious
ness which was evidently soon
thereafter as the first thing she
noticed was the occupants Of the
other car busy carrying away
some small boxes from their car
instead Of helping the injured
ones. One of the Breiland boys
was pinned under the engine of
their car.
The county sheriff and others
came to the rescue Of the Brei-
lands taking them to a hotel in
Rush City where they were inn
mediately cared for by a local
physician, the wounds being
dressed which also necessitated
several stitches. Both boys were
badly bruised about their mouths,
several teeth being knocked ont
on both and the upper lips cut.
IL is expected that Marvina and
her brothers will be over the eff
feet of the crash in couple Of
weeks but Mrs. Breiland may be
hurt internally and she is not
out of danger. After stopping
at the hotel that night they con-
tinued the journey homeward by
train Tuesday and are now all
resting at home.
The sheriff who saw the cars
after the mash-up said that he
had never before seen a car so
badly used up as was the Ford
used by the Breilands. 1t was
just literally closed up, the rear
portion being up against the en-
CINE. The Sheriff added 1T was
a wonder that nobody was
killed" So far as could be learn
ed by the American the Breiland
car was on the right side of the
road.
