He arrived at noon, and died six hours later. He is survived by his widow. After practical retirement from active politics in 1920 and following upon a severe attack of bronchitis, he moved to Arizona seeking an im- provement in his health, A few weeks ago he yielded to the lure of campaigning, and took the stump on a tour designed to carry him through Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis- souri, Iowa, the Dakotas and Min- nesota. Born in Michi; Towne practiced Mich., Chicago and Duluth before entering politics. He was elected to congress from Minnesota as a Re- publican in 1894, and actively ad- vocated bimetallism. Both Democrats and Poputists nominated him for congress in 1896, but he was defeated. He declined the Peoples’ and Silver Republican parties’ nomination for vice presi- dent in 1900, and took the stump for William Jennings Bryan, following which he was appointed to the sen- ate by Governor Lind of Minnesota. In 1904 he was elected to congress as a Democrat from the 114th New York district, serving from 1905 to 1907. : Following activity in developing the Beaumont, Tex., oil fields which carried him to prominence in the oil industry, he removed to New York to live. JACOB RANNALD HAS FRACTURES But injured Man Is in Favor- able Condition at Hospital, Doctors Say Though Jacob Rannald suffered fractures of the pelvic bone and the third lumbar vertebra when his lum- ber wagon was crashed by an auto- mobile early yesterday, he is in a favorable condition today in a local hospital, ‘according ‘to attending physicians. " The extent of Rannald’s injuries gould not be determined yesterday until X-ray pictures were taken. Rannald was driving a load of ‘wood with a team of horses yester- day when a car driven by William Markham crashed into the wagon at the corner of Third street and Ave- nue A. The impact threw Rannald qo the pavement, David Markham, son of the driver of the automobile, who was riding with his father, suffered minor cuts and bruises about the face. Markham says the crash resulted when he attempted to avoid hitting an approaching automobile. Tie automobile was wrecked, and the team of horses ran away. Rannald, employed by the Wachter Transfer company, has a family in Bismarck.

Twice Lieutenant Irving Wood- only surviving member of the famous army stunt team, “The Three Musketeers,” saw bodies of his pals lifted from twisted masses of wreck- age which had been airplanes. Twice | of comrades, But Lieutenant Woodring is carry- ing on just the’ same—carrying on | so that the name of “The Three | Musketeers” will continue to live. “My buddies gave their lives for ‘The Three Musketeers.’ The least I can do is to carry on—for them,” says Lieutenant Woodring. How They Diced The leader of “The Three Musket- eers,” Lieutenant J. J. Williams, was killed at Mines Field, Los Angeles, in September. His motor stalled while he was flying upside down-at crashed before her could right it. A short time afterwards Lieutenant William J. Cornelius was killed when his plane crashed into another one during daily maneuvers at Rockwell Field, here. “More than anything else I want to get two more men and keep the name of ‘The Three Musketeers’ alive in the army,” Lieutenant Wood- ring told me. ‘“‘I feel vedy badly over the death of Williams and Cor- nelius, but it is nothing I can hold against flying. And it in no way nfakes me think flying is unsafe. The boys got a tough break from Lady Luck—that's all. . “No, I am not afraid of being killed and I don’t think that any army flyers consider ‘The Three Musketeers’ a bad omen. I person- ally intend to keep right on stunt- ing just as I always have done. Some day I may get it, too, but I don’t think so, and I’m not worry- ing about it. “A man who can’t stunt a plane has no place in the army. Stunt- ing is not dangerous tom-foolery. It is essential to good flying and absolutely necessary in a pursuit squadron. Every stunt we perform is a necessary maneuver in war times.” Lindy Joins Musketeers After the death of Lieutenant Williams during the National Air Meet in Los Angeles, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh joined “The Three Musketeers” and led them through their daily stunt performances for five days. “I enjoyed flying with Colonel Lindbergh as a leader,” says Wood- ring. “It is a pleasure to fly with @ man who loves aviation as Colonel Lindbergh does. It was a little dif- ficult to go through the maneuvers the first day, but as soon as we be- came used to Colonel Lindbergh’s flying and his signals it was easy. For a man who pilots pursuit ships as seldom as he does, he is a re- markable flyer. : “Only once during the five days we flew with Colonel Lindbergh did we face any trouble. As we were coming out of a dive I saw Colonel Lindbergh pull his ship up sharply. I followed, figuring that something was wrong, but not knowing what.” The writer was an eye witness of the incident Woodring mentions. Lindy, Woodring and Cornelius were diving from about 3,000 feet. As they swooped down to within 150 feet of the ground two navy bombers were just taking off. Lindbergh apparently did not see the navy! planes until he was nearly on top of them. Then he pulled his ship up sharply, his companions following and all of them missing the navy planes by a scant few feet. Like most aviators, Lieutenant Woodring is a man of very few words.

I didn’t see the crash, as it was behind me, and Williams told: me afterwards that he didn’t see Cornelius coming until their planes crashed together. Both men jumped with their parachutes, but Cornelius’ chute got caught in his plane and he went down with the wreck.” Few men who have seen their closest pals laid to rest would have the courage to carry on.
