AFATAL RUNAWAY
One Fatality and two Others
Badly Injured.
Ed Clrard Dies from the Effects OF
Injuries Sustained In a Runa-
way--He Bled to Death.

A runaway resulting in one fatality
and the serious injury OF two other men
occurred on Superior avenue last Sunday
morning. George Gordon was equipping
lemonade and lunch counter in the
Crystal Falls Driving Park and had
loaded portion OF his equipment on the
single delivery rig belonging TO w. X.
DAWSON. Jack Dockery, better known
as Buffalo Jack" drove the horse and
Gordon, Ed. Girard and two boys-Dayy
cluded in the load. When the slight
grade just west OF the bridge was reached,
Dockery struck the horse with the lines.
The animal at once became uncontrol-
able and started at terrific pace for the
bridge. Gordon jumped from tho load,
but was caught in some manner under
the wheels and his right leg was seriously
injured. When the wagon reached the
bridge. il slowed against the sidewalk,
precipitating Girard and Dochery TO the
earth. Girard struck on his head and
was picked up for dead. Dockcry's left
leg was broken at the ankle. The two
boys rode the vehicle TO the east
end OF the bridge, where it was dumped
in heap by the roadside They
escaped uninjured, with tho exception
OF few slight scratches. Girard was
taken TO the home OF Philip Landoryille.
A bad hemorrhage issued from his ears
and mouth and did not subside until he
had virtually bled TO death. Girard
died at noon on Tuesday. Dockery's
injury is bad but not serious and
George Gordon is slowly recovering from
the effects Of his severe bruises.
Girard has been resident OF Crystal
Falls during the past six years. He was
barber by trade and several years ago
piled that vocation here. During much
OF the time in the recent past he has
been county charge, being physically
unable TO earn living. Ilo was fiity-six
years OF age and unmarried. He came
originally from Manistiquo. The remains
were entered on Wednesday by Under
| taker C. s. Henry.

The System Unanimously Commended In Cities
and Country Districts.

The System unanlmousiy Commended In Cities
and Country Districts.
The superintendent OF public instruc-
ton, in his annual report thus refers TO
the system Tor plan) OF "free text
books" and THE DIAMOND DRILL takes
the liberty OF suggesting its consideration
to tho school board:
The system OF free text books which
provides for the ownership OF the books
by the district and loaning them To
pupils has been tried by uome OF our
cities and few Of our rural districts for
several years. la journeying about the
state we take especial pains to enquire
how satisfactory the system proves to
be, and almost without exception it is
most unanimously commended by both
city and country districts. The cities ol
the state which have adopted the system
are Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw,
East Saginaw. and Bay City. Oh these
cities East Saginaw has tried the system
for the past nine years. None but lauda.
tory reports come from officers and
teachers concerning the workings of the
plan. The average cost per capita foI
text books during the past nine years Ia
Saginaw, and East Saginaw, has been
sixty-two cents per year.
This should encourage other cities and
villages TO try the experiment. The
rural teachers and school officers of the
districts where the plan has been tried
say that the books are kept better than
when owned by the individuals, the cost
Is reduced, uniformity secured, and tim,
saved because pupils are always pro
yided with books on the first day OF tn,
term instead OF being Obliged to "wait
until pa goes to town." till he forgets tc
get the book once or twice, and ther
buys the wrong book. The expense upor
the whole district is insignificant, ant
the advantages are so apparent that I
would seem advisable for every district
to adopt the plan. The districts nov
working under the system are mostly il
the northern part OF the state.
