MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
IN AUT0JICC1DENT
Machine Tores Turtle with Fonr
Adults andThree Babies. None
Seriously In|ored.
A very serious accident happened last
Sunday on the Norway Lake road four
miles north of Willmar near Ole R.
Sletten's place. Mr. M. H. Hermanson
of this city with a party consisting: of
himself, wife and two children, and
Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Johnson and little
son Malcolm were on their way to at
tend a picnic at Lake' Florida. While
crossing a dump at considerable speed.
Mr. Hermanson turned out to avoid a
rut in the road, being- deceived by the
grass on the side as to the width of the
dump. The machine turned turtle en
tirely, throwing- out all the people into
the water and soft mud of the slough.
That no one was seriously hurt may be
considered a miracle. Two of the babes
were forced under the water but were
quickly rescued. Little Malcolm John
son was badly stunned but was revived
before reaching Willmar. The Handy
& Lewis garage was telephoned and
sent out a machine to bring in the par
ty. Mr. Hermanson's machine was not
injured at all.

Willmar Kan riles for "At Xarge" Po
sition—Silsnt on Third Party.
Lars O. Thorpe of Willmar, former
state senator, has filed for congress
man-at-large on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Thorpe was an alternate to the
Chicago convention, but did not attend.
He was a Roosevelt man, but was un
willing: to comment on the outcome of
the convention. Before filing: Senator
Thorpe telephoned Alvah Eastman of
St. Cloud to ask whether he intended
to file for the office and was informed
that he did not.
Mr. Eastman had been one of the first
to announce himself for congressman
at-large, but withdrew later when Con
gressman Lindbergh of the Sixth dis
trict made public a statement in which
he said he would seek the United States
senatorship. Mr. Eastman thereupon
announced himself for Congressman
Lindbergh's place. The latter has since,
withdrawn from the senatorial field. It
was not known whether Mr. Eastman
would contest with Mr. Lindbergh.—

The democrats at Balitmore are In a
fierce contest between the progressives
and the reactionaries. It Is similar to
the fight at the Chicago convention, on
ly it was quicker In coming to point.
The battle yesterday afternoon waged
last and furious. Bryan was forced In
to the leadership of the progressives
against Alton Parker, the temporary
chairman recommended by the national
committee. Bryan lost out by a vote
of 670 to 606. There was no beating
about tue bush in the speechei made
and the speaker for the progressive ele
ment called a spade a spade, but further
discussion was cut off by the moving
of the previous question, the most eon'
temptible thing to do in a deliberative
gathering. It requires 2-3 vote to nom
inate at a democratic national conven
tion and tne prospects seem good for a
deadlock.' All eyes are on Baltimore
watching further developments. His
tory Is being made fast these days.'!Jr
