In other words. the party considers

many words for publication, but it has
oeen indicated that Hoover is their
1avorite on the ground that what they
see as Smiths play for the liberal vote
Is trespaSS on Socialist domain and
should be combated.
Smith is playing to capital more
than the Democratic party ever did be-
iore, q. August Gerber Socialist ma

TOWNSHIPS TO GET
COUNTY ROAD AID
Todd County Applies State Aid
Plan to Improvement Of
Local Highways.

A system of county aid which is
expected to do for the town roads
what the state aid system is doing
for county roads, was adopted last
week by the Todd county board. Each
town board may designate certain Of
its most travelled roads as county aid
roads. The designation is to be ap-
proved by the county board, for the
purpose of securing uniformity, and
to the end that the roads from one
township may lead into another, thus
developing road system. The coun-
ty aid roads will be built under the
supervision Of the county engineer,
and the towns will be required to
maintain them just as the counties
are required to maintain the state
aid roads.
"This is the system which has Civ
en- the county such excellent roads the
last few years and which, within five
or six years, will give US a county
road system that will equal in quail
ity and permanency the state roads
of the county," says the Long Prair.

MARSHALL FLOODED
BY REDWOOD RIVER
Twenty Homes Isolated by Fri
day Night Flood. Riv-
er RecedeS.

The waters of the Redwood River
which caused to become isolated about
twenty homes at Marshall has reced-
ed nearly to normal at present, CIV
ing the feeling that all is out of dan
ger.
With a temperature of 18 degrees
above during the night Friday, the
flood waters receded Saturday and
left field of ice over an area of sew
eral blocks.
The cold weather added to the diff
ficulties of the flooded area, in that
many homes were without heat,
flooded Easements making it impos-
sible to keep the fire going.
The flood stage, which was reached
late Friday, was the most rapid in
the history of the community. The
water level was raised about 2Ea feet
in an hours time, isolating an area
of the residential district and reach
ing as far as the center of the busi-
ness session. However, the business
section suffered mostly from flooded
Easements. No estimate to the dam
age done to stored stocks was given,
but it is believed it will be heavy.
The river went out of it's banks
rapidly Friday night, and after that
more than 20 families were isolated
from the rest of the city. The dis
trict stood under feet of water.
Firemen and city workmen used
dynamite in breaking up the huge
ice jams which were threatening
bridges in the district
The sudden rise of the river is at
tributed to the break of ice jams near
its source.

born Boy, is Accidentally
Shot Sunday p. M.

A most distressing and fatal accl-
dent occurred last Sunday near San
born when Walter Weber, II year
old Sanborn boy was killed by the
discharge of a % calibre rifle from
the hands of Charles Peake, one OF
his schoolmates. The accidental shoot
ing occurred on the banks of the Cot
tonwood river, near the railroad pump
house about one-half mile west of
Sanborn at 300 o'clock in the after
noon.
Four boys, Lamoine Becker, Bruce
Edgar, Charles Peake and the victim
Walter Weber, all about the same
age, left Sanborn Sunday afternoon
for short hike along the river, TAX
ing the small rifle with them.
Upon nearing the railroad pump
house it was suggested that a few
rounds of ammunition be used in tar
get practice. Several tin cans were
thrown into the river and each of the
boys were given chance to try their
craftsmanship. All had taken shots
and Charles was going to shoot the
second time. Walter who was kneel-
ing, facing the river few feet be-
low and to the right of Charles arose
as the gun was discharged. The bull
let entered the brain and the young
man dropped dead.
Bruce Edgar ran to the pump house
for help where Mr.. Brazel was secur-
ed With his aid the body was taken
to the home of the deceased. At this
writing the funeral arrangements
have been planned for today WED
