SENATOR A. S. LARSON
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Pinned Under Car in Auto Acct
dent Near SUNRISE Also
in Mix-up.

Senator Adolph S. Larson of Sand
not serious auto accident, last Sat-
urday evening about $50 while re-
turning on the Center City-Sunrise
road from the good roads meeting at
Lindstrom. He was driving in a
Ford sedan with his son, Adolph,
and on approaching a crossroad near
Sunrise, heavy truck coming from
the left suddenly appeared on a
crossroad almost in front of the SEN
ator. Had the Senator been moment
sooner, the truck would in all prob
ability have struck his car, demol-
ished it, and with results fatal to
the Senator. AS it was, both cars
were moving rapidly and the Sen
ator's car hit the truck directly in
the side, showing it over, badly in
jured the sedan and turning it over
with the Senator lying on his sto-
mach underneath suffering with cuts
on the shoulder and back. Fortunate
ly other parties returning from the
good roads meeting were but short
distance behind and with strong
hands lifted the car off him and
took him to Pine City where he re-
ceived medical care. He was shortly
brought home and put to bed. On
Monday he was able to be up and
around although still lame and
bruised.
Just how the Senator and his son
were thrown out of the car, he does
not know. The son came through
with a cut on the hand, while the
Senator's remarkable feat of saumer-
saulting out of the car and under it
with one bound is worthy of trained
athlete.

STATEMENT GIVEN
OUT ON ACCIDENT

The report on the. automobile
accident near Willow River,
which proved fatal to John Stat
ford of Bruno, as published in the
American last week gave but one
version of the sad affair, Mr..
Weekly's report. The American
gives space this week to a state
ment by Mrs. Stafford, which
reads as follows:
Inasmuch as Mr.. WYE, fieldman of
the Askov American came % Bruno
and got the report of the accident
which resulted in the death of my
husband, John Stafford, and then
deliberately ignored the report and
obtained one which he published as
Mr.. Weekly's report, l wish to give
the report so that the readers of the
Askov American may know how the
accident occurred.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Rodenberger,
Mr.. Stafford and / were coming from
Duluth to Bruno and we were about
two miles north of Willow River
when | saw car zig-zagging from
the south. l heard a click of the
fender of the on-coming car and I
said to Mr.. Stafford: THAT car has
hit Rodenberger's car" and it was
no more said than l saw a glaring
head light climbing onto the left
corner near the driver of our car.
knew nothing more till a man
opened the door of our car by me and
said: Are you hurt?" That aroused
me to consciousness and I looked
at Mr.. Stafford and saw the wound
which knew would cause his death.
l do not think he ever knew what
struck him as he did not regain
consciousness. The man, whose name
l do not know, that had opened our
door kindly accompanied me to the
bus that was waiting to rush us to
medical aid, while Mr.. Rodenberger
assisted by other men, took Mr.. Stat
ford out of our car to the bus. We
were taken to the home of DIR. Ehmke
in Willow River but found he was in
Sandstone. The man who had so
kindly cared for Mr.. Stafford left
us there and Mrs. Linsley of Willow
River, very kindly cared for Mr.. Stat
ford till we arrived at the Sandstone
hospital where Drs. Boiling, Dredge,
and Ehmke were called. Mr.. Stafford
lived about % minutes and the doc
tors dressed my wound.
The accident occurred on a wide
level gravel road and the Rodenberger
car was on the extreme right hand
side of the road, going south as was
also our car and car driven by
Mr.. Erickson behind us. No ether
car was passing either way, except
the car driven by Mr. Weekly. The
way in which the Rodenberger car
