UGHTNINGJILLS 2
ELECTRIC BOLT FATAL TO FARM
ERS NEAR HERMAN. NEB.
FATALITIES IN AUTO CONTEST
R. C. Donaldson and Mechanician
Lose Lives in Race at Spirit
Lake. Iowa.
Herman, Neb.—While working on
j the farm of Ray Tripiett, one mile
west of town, stacking wheat, Her
man Thompson and Nels Matsen
were struck by lightning and instant
1> killed. The team attached to the
wagon used in hauling the grain ran
away and Anna Triplett, 9 years of
age, who was on the vehicle, was
thrown off and her left arm dis
located. The weather had been clear
all afternoon and just before 5 o'clock
a small cloud came up from the west,
scatteringa few drop of rain. Thomp
son and Matsen, the young men
working for Triplett, had driven from
the wheat field with a load of bundles
and were half through unloading onto
the stack when the shower came. Tho
rain was so light that they did not
stop vork. There was one flash of
lightn.ng and from what can be
learned, the bolt struck and instant
ly killed Matsen, who was on the
slack, and instantly seemed to spread
in a sheet of flame to the wagon load
of bundles, killing Thompson. The
flash and the thunder that followed
frightened the horses and they dashed
off through the field, overturning the
wagon. On the wagon, besides
Thompson, were three* children of Mr.
Triplett. None of them except Anna
were injured, though all were thrown
to the ground and buried beneath the
load of grain.
Two Auto Rsncers Meet Death.
Spirit take. Ia.—E. Donaldson of
Milford, la., owner of the racing car
Etnden. which won a place at Indian
apolis and at Omaha, was instantly
killed while driving that car in the
automobile race here and his Mecharv
ician Wilcox died of injuries.
It was a free-for-all race. A Ford
machine crowded on Ernden until the
latter tamed turtle.
Donaldson, spectators say, sought
to avoid an accident, and in doing so
turned his car into the fenc«. There
It rose on the front wheels and buried
its occupants under it.
The dead pilot’s two sons. Orville
and Slade, were also in the race.
They continued to the finish, and won
first and second places, respectively,
without knowing their father had met
death When they were told each im
mediately declared he was through
with competitive motorcar speed
contests.
The Ernden was pretty well known
in the racing rings throughout the
country. Donaldson was known to the
profession as a motor experimental
ist: his reputation as a winning driv
er was not jar machine. At Omaha
he won $1,000 by placing fourth.
Want Air Crafts and Submarine*.
Washington, D. C.—Secretary Dan- '
ie’s declared there was an over
whelming sentiment in the country
generally for large increases in sub
marines and air craft. ’’The people in.!
inland states, particularly, s 'em to |
have come to the conclusion that i
there should be large increases in
submarines and ayoplanes for our
naval defenses.” said Secretary Dan
iels. "Many of our citizens who do !
not mean to attach that importance i
to dreadnaugbts which naval experts .
do, or who doubt the navy judgment
of the dreadnaugbts are satisfied that
the next naval program should pro
vide for liberal expenditures for un- j
dersea ships and air craft.’’
Asks Price on Million Catt'e.
Helena. Mont.—C. O. Robinson,
representative of a large packing j
company of Chicago, made public
here a copy of a cablegram from
Liverpool sent to the Chicago office
asking that an estimate be furnished
of the cost of one million head of
American beef cattle, delivered at
Liverpool. The order, if filled, said
Robinson, would require a payment of
about $100,000,000 and would make
vast inroads on the available cattle in
the United States.

twenty-three were injured and four

aged by bombs dropped in an air
ship raid over the east coast, accord

The order permits increases on
some commodi.ies. including coal,

western states in resisting advances
asked by the railroads." said Reed.
