BROCKTON BOY VIC
TIM OF AUTO WRECK
Glasgow.—Early last Friday even
ing a fatal accident which might have
been much worse, took place between
Brockton and Culbertson, when Ralph
and Harold Albert, sons of Mrs. H.
Berge of this city, were driving her
large Buick car, loaded with nine
young men, most of whom were mem
bers of the Brockton high school bas
ketball team, from Brockton to Fair
view, where they expected to play
game that evening with the Fairview
team. A piece of ice on the road
caused the rear wheels of the car
skid shortly after leaving Brockton,
and the car with its heavy load went
over the embankment turning
three times. The car had been travel
ing at the rate of 45 miles per hour.
One young man, Charles Red Boy,
so seriously injured that he died
route to the hospital. It is believed
that his neck was broken. He was the
only one who was free from the
when it reached its final position. He
is reported to be 24 years old and
married and was substituting on the
Brockton team for a sick player.
One of the other boys, whose
was not given, was reported to have
been badly cut and suffered from the
loss of blood. The others received
only minor injuries. The car itself
was a complete wreck.

died here at a hospital. He had been
a homesteader since the early days.
In his desire to accumulate a fortune,
he deprived himself of the necessities
of life. In winter he burned straw
for fuel. He often begged clothing
and food from neighbors and others.
Deputy Sheriff John B. Lee, who
searched his shack, found many val

True to their promise, Senaten
Reed, democrat, of Missouri; Mows,
repubilcan of New Hampshire, and
Bingham, republican of Connecticut,
who have held out against the treaty
for an interpretation, voted for rati

senator's leadership and that of th«
secretary but I have gotten lost try
ing to keep up with their meander
ings," Harrison continued.
Well, the senator has only to f°b
and he will do right," Brah
