ESCAPES DEATH
IN TRAIN CRASH
Guy Slade Escapes Terrible
Death When Ford Car
Is Demolished.
HIT BY FAST TRAIN
ST, Paul Crossing at Truesdell
Almost Claims Another :s
Victim.

Guy Slade, Route 2, Box so, had a
slight Irritation with death Friday
night about ten o'clock when the Ford
car which he was driving on the
Geneva road was struck by a south
bound Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
train at the Truesdell crossing.
Slade was rushed to The uKenosha
hospital where, for a time, it was
thought that his injuries were quite
serious. He was discharged, how
ever, this morning.
Dangerous Crossing.
Slade was driving his car west on
the Geneva road and evidently failed
to heed the warning signal. Train No.
Id on the st. Paul line, with c. AL
bright as conductor, bore down son the
Ford car from the north as 1t was
passing over the tracks. @''1*s''ss y I
The car was completely demolished,
and Slade was thrown to the side of
the tracks. Members of the train
crew picked up the unconscious body
of the man and called the sheriff S
Office. Sheriff Willems, together with
Undersheriff Joe Kneipfer and several
deputies, answered the call: The
Mischler ambulance was also sum-
moned and Slade was carried to the
Kenosha hospital where Dr.. A, j.
Randall attended him. His injuries
were not as serious as were first
thought, and he was allowed to re-
turn to his home this morning.
Remnants of the car were strewn
along the tracks for several hundred
yards. The automobile was so badly
smashed that it was hard to ascer-
tain whether the car was sedan
or touring car.
Recall Gate Order.
1t is recalled that the Wisconsin
Railroad commission recently ordered
the Chicago, Milwaukee and. st. Paul
Railroad company to erect double
gates on the crossing following an
investigation and hearing in which
Highway Commissioner John Herzog
and Coroner Joseph Friend of Keno
sha county were the leading agitators.
The commission ordered that gates
be installed on the Trusedall cross
ing at the Geneva road by September
/. The railroad company declared at
the time that the orders of the COM
mission would be complied with. To
date, however, there has appeared no
indication that any work is being
done on the crossing that looks like
gate construction.

GREAT CROP
ISPREDICTED
BY OFFICIAL
Ward Believes Yield Here
Will BE Greater Than
Last Season

This years crop in North Dakota
will far exceed even last years
bumper harvest if nothing unforeseen
arises to interfere with the present
excellent condition of wheat and
flax. The flax fields alone will
yield from 100 to $50 per cent more
crops than in 1924.
c. f.. Ward, deputy commits ione r
Of agriculture, is the authority for
this, statement which he made today.
Farmers throughout the state are
preparing for large harvest, he
said, and his office is preparing to
handle hundreds of inquiries for
farm labor. If present conditions
continue it is expected that about
600 men from out Of the state and
Canada will be employed during the
harvesting season which lasts from
the middle of August to the middle
Of October.
In about six weeks it will be
known definitely whether a large
crop can be expected. BY that time
the extent of ravishes by rust will
be known as we'll as the effects of
rainfall. An average Of more than
a inch Of rainfall has been reported
from all parts of the state with three
inches in the eastern section and
so far no lack of rainfall to prevent
the full growth of crops has been
anticipated, said Deputy Ward.
Wheat has been reported as excel
lent in all sections Of the state,
Ward said. This is encouraging in
view of the fact that reports from
other states do not give promise of
q large CROP The grain states are
particularly hard hit and it is said
that the demand by farmers for labor
in grain districts is considerable
less than year ago.
The farm wage this fall will hold
its own with that of previous years,
said Joseph M. Devine, immigration
commissioner. Men employed by the
month are usually paid from $45
to $50 and keep except in the harvest
season when wages jump to IS a
day in instances where floating la
Dor is employed and the farmer
wants his crop harvested in hurry.
