He died Sunday morning at 5 O'Clock,
He felt the accident at the time, but
did no. stop; finished saving his

complained offeeling badly and con-
tinued to get worse. Medical aid
was called but could render no assist
ance. Mr.. Daniels has been in the

vas injured sometime since, while

Again let me state that our. town has
been extremely fortunate in the way
of fires, but something should be done
to organize an efficient iire depart
ment for the future. There. is not
hook,ra ladder in town; nothing,
but wis. buckets are kept in the
stores. 1t would cost but very little
tO organize Hook & Ladder Com
pany that could do great good, and 1
hope to see some move in that direc-
ton Immediately. r..i
