Fierce Hail Storm In
Antelope Area Tues.
FOUR CARS IN WRECK;
PASSENGERS UNINJURED

An automobile accident for which
it was nothing short of miracle
that someone did not pay with their
life, occurred on the Raymond road
Saturday night, which resulted i'm
the wrecking of new Chrysler Sc
dan owned by A. f. Mclean of Plen-
tywood and an old Ford touring car
belonging to Paul Bantz; Chevro-
let coach belonging to Fred Kjer-
rumgaard of Redstone, was also
quite badly damaged in the mixup
while Pontiac owned and driven by
Louis Mehl escaped damage only by
the driver suddenly turning his car
into the ditch.
Stories regarding the details of the
accident differ considerably, but it
seems very evident that the cars
were all travelling at high rate of
speed. Otto Kjerrumgaard was re-
turning from a dance at Raymond
and had just passed the Ford, which
was running without lights, but was
keeping well to the right side of the
road. Coming up over hill just af-
ter passing the Ford, the Chevrolet,
being on the left side of the road.
quickly swung to the right to miss
IN approaching car, which was the
Chrysler, driven by Jack Mclean
Mclean, also coming at fast rate
and noticing the other car at first on
the left side, evidently kept to the
left, thinking he would miss the Chew
rolet. He struck the side Of the car
however. The two cars struck broad
side, and, while with enough force tc
do considerable damage, the Chryslei
went on up over the brow of the
hill, narrowly missing the Pontiac
only to crash into the Ford, head-on
The small touring car was hoisted in
the air, and the front end of thu
Chrysler badly wrecked.
Aside from a few minor bruises
and cut finger or two, none of the
dozen or more passengers occupying
the three cars which collided were
seriously injured, which seems almost
miraculous.

BULLET ENTERING VICTIMS
HEART, KILLS HIM INSTANT
LY ON OUTLOOK FARM HOME.

While playing with a loaded rifle
at their farm home one-half mile
north of Outlook last Friday morn
ing, Martin Lux, aged -, shot and
killed his brother, Otto Lux, aged IA.
The parents of the two boys, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris Lux, were visiting at
Froid at the time of the shooting.
Two older sisters were in the house,
and younger brother was out herd
ing cattle, leaving the two boys a
lone in the yard.
According to the story told by
Martin, who did the shooting, the
two boys had climbed ON windmill
in their yard to shoot gophers. The
younger boy was on the platform of
the windmill, while his brother Otto
was on the ladder about four feet
below. He claims that at this time
the gun was in some manner acci-
dentally discharged and that his old
er brother fell to the ground-a dis
tance of about thirty feet-mortally
wounded. Martin went to the house
and told his older sister what had
happened, and she rushed to the
home of VIM. Tobin, farmer living
a half-mile away, to sumon aid. Mr.
Tobin rushed to the scene Of the ac-
cident, and as soon as he had seen
what had happened, called Martin
Nelson, the county coroner, at Plen-
| tywood Mr. Nelson, in company
with DR.. G. f. Campbell, went to
Outlook, where an autopsy was per-
formed on the body of the slain boy.
1t was found that the bullet had
passed through the heart and left
lung, and in the opinion Of the ply
sician, the boy had met almost in
stant death.
The corcner summoned a jury and
the first inquest was held at the
scene of the shooting Friday after
, noon, the members of the jury being
VIM. Tobin, Sam Faucet, Oscar A.
Boe and c. P. Sheen, all of Outlook,
md Fred Grave and Melvin Bronson
of Plentywood. After listening to
considerable testimony, the jury de-
cided to continue the hearing at the
court house in Plentywood Saturday
afternoon, with T. W. Greer acting
as attorney An agreement was
reached by the jury that Otto Lux
had met his death from a gun fired
by Martin Lux, but due to lack Of
sufficient evidence ard what, in the
minds of members Of the jury, SEEM
ed to be conflicting testimony, a fur
ther investigation by the county at
torney was recommended. 1t was
found, when the autopsy was per-
formed that the course Of the bull
let in the boys body was such that
it would seem almost impossible for
the shooting to have taken place as
explained by the lad who had the ri
file, and there is grave doubt as to
whether or not the killing Of the old
er boy was not the result of a heat
ed quarrel between the two.
A. C. Erickson, county attorney, is
out of town on his vacation, and un-
doubtedly as soon as he returns,
which will be about another week,
further investigation will be made.
The Lux boys are cousins of Fer
dinand Schlaps, who was convicted
of a brutal dual murder on farm
home west of Homestead in the sum-
mer of 1926, and was later hanged at
Wolf Point, the mother Of Schlaps
being a sister of Mr.. Lux.
The funeral of the victim of the
shooting was held at Outlook Sunday
afternoon.

WORST STORM IN YEARS BEATS
CROPS TO GROUND; WIND
ALSO DOES SOME DAMAGE.

One of the most devastating hail
storms that has ever been known in
this section of the country swept ov
er central Sheridan county and well
into North Dakota Tuesday after
noon. The hail struck with its
greatest fury on strip about six
miles wide, beginning just at the
south edge of Antelope and swept
practically everything in the way Of
standing grain in its path east across
the beautiful Dagmar country and
had extended some fifty miles into
Dakota before ceasing its ruin. More
than thirty thousand acres of Won
derful grain has been totally destroy
ed, and the loss to farmers of Sher-
idan county placed at more than a
half million dollars.
1t seemed that the width of the
strip covered by the hail storm var.
led from three to six miles and foil
owed somewhat of zigzag course
but those who have driven over the
devastated area following the storm
state that practically every farmer
who was unfortunate enough to be
in the path of destruction had hif
entire crop wiped out in few min.
utes.
Although it is of course impossible
to secure list of all those who have
suffered losses, among farmers who
have had their entire crop destroyed
are the following:
Tom Sundsted, Antelope; Nelt
Sundsted, Antelope; Anton Sundsted
Antelope; Harold Sovey, Antelope
Jack Courtney, Antelope; Axel Rom
stad, Antelope; Walt Richardson
Antelope; Herbert Grayson; Ante
lope; George Hunter, Antelope; Ras

Antelope; E. V. Francis, Antelope
Mrs. Nellie Saxon, Antelope; Jens
Olson, Reserve; Henry Mclaughlin:
Reserve; Norman Eidsness, Reserve
Vincent Cybulski, Plentywood; H. 3
Munson, Plentywood; Lars G. Bar
stad, Redstone.
Those suffering partial losses are
John Murray, Antelope; Art Oh
son, Antelope; VIM. Clarke, Antelope
Hans Gunderud, Antelope; Knu'
Knutson, Redstone; Joe Wagner
Redtsone; Ole Risa, 500; Niels Chris
tensen, Dagmar; Rasmus LELAND, An.
telope.
Considerable damage was done il
the northwestern part of the count,
also, hail striking near Whitetai
and working in southeasterly direc
ton towards Redstone, although this
storm was not nearly so destructive
as the one which hit Antelope.
The hail was accompanied by 6
high wind and lightning. Damage
resulted from wind and lightning ir
some parts Of the county. At Out
look one of the worst electrical
storms of the year was reported
Several telephone poles near the H
A. Ross farm were completely de.
molished, and horse owned by
Thomas Mayberry was instantly kill
ed when struck by lightning.
Not seeming enough to wipe Out
the entire crop of Willie johnson
near Antelope, the wind wrecked his
machine shed and turned over a new
separator which he had purchased
for threshing this years crop.
Still another storm struck south OF
Redstone early Wednesday morning
and resulted in considerable damage
losses being reported all the way
from 20 per cent to a total loss.
1t, is estimated that not more thar
twenty per cent of the losses sustain.

Special Town Meeting

Al 8 speeial town meeting in the Town hall Tuesday afternoon. four articles were considered and voted upon favorably.
 The first business was the report of the auditors employed by the town Go conduct an investigation of the town books. Their report was read and accepted. Further discussion was impossible to act until the Bond ing Go. had decided on their line of action.
 The sum of S2.000 was voted in the second article for the repair of highways. The roads have been in very poor condition and this appro- priation will aid in conditioning them.
 It was voted to give S4,600 to cov- CT High School expenses. This sum has been needed for quite long time and was finally settled to satisfaction of all present.
 The last article was a request by .the town auditors to have the books audited by a public accountant an nually The town auditors have com pleted their work for the year and it was voted that their request be granted
