impromptu and informal parades
that have been going on almost con-
tinuously since Sunday.
Led by one or more Of the 100
bands and drum crops available the
marchers last night trooped through
hotel Hobbies and the streets without
discrimination. The cavalry" frol-
licking, footsore infantrymen who
leased tiny Mexican burros for
mounts; followed in the wake Of each
assemblage.

Peculiar Auto Accident. Z
On Street Monday Morning
Car Bearing Missouri License
Backs Into One From Fari-
bault-Damage Settled

Monday aftrnoon a peculiar &C.
cident occurred on Main street in
front of the Model when a Buick
Sedan was rammed into by a car
backing out from a parking place
short distance away. A Buick
touring car bearing a Missouri Ii
cense backed out into the street
and instead of being stopped when
clear of the other parked cars
ahead it continued to back at con-
siderable speed until the rear end
collided with parked Buick sedan
belonging to L. E. Murrey, of Fa-
ribault. According to the driver
of the Buick touring car the
clutch refused to operate and when
shifted into reverse the clutch
would not release, thus causing
the trouble. The sedan was
struck with such force that the
left rear fender was bent against
the tire causing it to puncture. The
left rear bumper was also bent
and the car was pushed against a
car parked alongside causing the
right rear fender to be denied up
considerably. The damages were
estimated and settled for soon af-
ter the accident. The driver as
serted that he had never before
experienced such a predicament as
having the clutch stick on his car
| while driving it.

Eastern Stearns Co. Growers
Melted Trifie Over 5000 an
Acre For The 1927 Crop

In a few years Stearns county
may become one of the largest to-
bacco growing centers in the mid
die west.
This crop has been grown sue
cessfully in Eastern Stearns for
several years and has brought the
farmers raising it snug net sum
per acre each year.
Ben Otte, one of Sank Centres
progressive farmers, has watched
the success of the Eastern Stearns
county tanners for a number OF
years. He has talked tobacco in
and out of season and largely thru
his efforts Charles Lien, the pion-
eer and eminently successful
grower of Eastern Stearns has
made several talks in this section
advocating the growing of tobac-
co.
In order to grow tobacco with
real profit in any community there
should be at least carload to at
tract buyer.
Nine farmers in the territory
adjacent to Sank Centre are rails
ing % acres of tobacco this year.
Nick Bromenschenkel has the lar
gest field, 10 acres; Arthur Rog-
ers is raising three acres; Ben Of
tie and Alex Botz each two acres.
The following each have one acre:
Alfred Kruger, Hugo Vessel, L.
Herzog, H. Thierschafer and Adam
Orth.
To get the best results the soil
should he medium heavy. The seed
is first placed in wool sock. I'm
der normal conditions it will sprout
in four days after which it is
planted in hot bed with a sprink-
ling can as soon as the ground is
ready in the Spring. This year the
plants were transplanted about
June 10th in rows 80 to 80 inches
apart with about 18 inches be-
tween plants. This can either be
done by hand or with a specially
made machine. Four of the farm
ers of the Sank Centre community
purchased a machine for trans
planting.

on-Butter Prices Promise
to Keep Up to Standard

Live and dressed poultry mar
kets are firm at present time. The
movement of poultry has been a
little short, especially on heavy
weights, and with the supply of
poultry in storage limited, the de-
mand has been very good.
Broilers and medium weight
spring chickens are moving in
slightly increased quantities. The
tendency is for the market to work
little lower.
The egg market remains I'M
changed. Receipts are decreasing
and quality is rather mixed. There
is only moderate demand, indi-
eating that the consumption of
eggs at present time is being in
fuenced somewhat by the large
supply of fresh fruits in the mar
ket, condition whi.1 adversely
i-fiaences the consura G demand
for eggs.
General indicati ons point to
st-ady or firm market, with posi-
bi; ty of an advance n the next
few weeks.
Butter market continues firm.
Geleral feeling among the large
dealers is that the market is full

FATALLY INJURED
IN RUNAWAY AUG. 9
Wagon Loaded With Grain
Passes Over Body of Wal
ter Cheney 20 Years Old
DIED In THE HOSPITAL
Accident Occurred on FentOn
Parker Farm-Funeral
Held Monday Morning

Walter Cheney, 20 year old
young man of this community,
was the victim of a fatal accident
last Thursday morning, August 9.
He was driving a team and hay
rack on the Fenton Parker farm
six miles west of Sank Centre
when the tragedy occurred. The
rack had just been loaded with
bundles and he was ready to start
for the threshing rig. When climb
ing to his position on the front of
the wagon, his footing gave way
and he was thrown to the ground
directly in the path of the wheels.
The commotion frightened the
horses and they started before
Walter was able to extricate him
self from beneath the wagon. AS
a result one front wheel of the
loaded rack passed over his body.
With desperate efforts he managed
to crawl from beneath the vehicle
thus escaping the effects of the
rear wheels. He was Immediately
taken to Sank centre and given an
examination which prompted at
tending physicians to advise his re-
moval to st. Cloud at once. He
was taken to st. RaphaePs hospital,
that afternoon, where a thorough
examination was made and an
X-Ray taken. Conclusive evil
dence Of major internal injuries
were prominent in this final exam
ination and it was deemed neces-
sary to await further results. On
Thursday evening word came to
the parents, MIR. and Mrs. A. C.
Cheney, that he was resting easier,
but this hopeful news was soon
darkened, when at three o'clock
Friday morning word was received
that his condition had taken turn
for the worse. The parents hast
ened to his bedside and at 1880
o'clock Friday morning he passed
away.
Walter Cheney was born Jan
uary 10, 1908, at Melrose, MINI.
At the time of his death he was
twenty years and seven months
old. His childhood days were
spent at Melrose and he received
his education in the Parochial
school of that city. When the
family left Melrose they moved
to farm near West Union, where
they were located for nine years.
Three years ago they moved onto
the farm one-half mile west of

Her Perish - Two Children
Also Lose Lives.

Sandstone, Mimi, Aug. 10 :
While the bodies of a woman and
two men lay in an undertaking es-
tablishment here today, searchers

early yesterday.
The bodies recovered were those

quet, mother of six children; her
father, William Lundholm of Maxi
iowa, Mimi, and John Ness, a pho
tographer of Cloquet. The chill
dren were Irene Linden, ID, and
Hillard, 10.
The tragedy occurred when the
children apparently became ex-
hausted while bathing. Their
screams for aid brought their mo-
Their into the water, and when she
fioundered beyond her depth, the
two men attempted rescue.
Divers recovered he bodies OF
the adults about noon, but their
search for the children was unsuc-
cessful, and dynamite was resorted
to in an effort to bring them to the
surface.
Four other children of Mrs. Lin
deem, ranging in age from 2 to IL
years, stood terror-stricken on the
shore as the cold waters Of the
springfield lake claimed the vic
tins. They then notified residents
along the lake shore who spread
the alarm and started a search.
