that a young man named Schiebe, living
in the village of Centerville, met with a
very serious accident last night on re-
turning from Sheboygan. He drove a
team and had on a large load of coal. 1t
| appears that bridge some ten or twelve
| feet in height exists on the lake shore
road, and is without guards. Over this
precipice the wagon, team and driver
were thrown. 1t appears that the great
er part of the load fell on young Scheibe,
who narrowly escaped instant death. He

dition; every part of his body was utter
ly paralyzed; medical assistance was i'm
| mediately summoned and after great ex-
ertions he was resuscitated. At the pres
eEt time he is lying IN a very precarious
situation. The young man is in the
prime OF life and his death would be g
great bereavement to his parents and
friends. Thus it is that many person
in the prime of life meets with a prema-
ture death or is disabled or rendered a
cripple during his mortal life, and all
through the gross carelessness that char
acterizes people IN the construction Of
highways and bridges. And whoever
the negligent party may be he should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law. Human life is valuable aud bridges
should be constructed in such manner
that there would not be the slightest con-
tingencY of danger.
Peter Martin will hold grand picnic
