sized. Only one OF them could swim,
Mr.. Rasmussen, and he left the others
to cling to the boat while he swan to-

when he got far enough inland SO be
could touch bottom. The other two
grappled with the boat, but in Their
tiounderiDg around Mr.. Sorensen lost
his hold and, not being able to regain it
sank. There were other boats not fal
away, but they were filed with those
who had little or no experience on the
water, and the occupants feared to risl
their own lives to save them. Mr.. KEEL
gor had close call, but held on to tn,
boat until little steamer came and res

Mrs. MastersOn's Death.

Mrs. VIM. Masterson was killed in a
runaway last Saturday evening about
nine o'clock.
After the days work was over Mrs.
Masterson and her two daughters,
Stella and Veda, hitched up horse
and started for North Branch about
three and half miles distant, expect
ing to get the mail and do some trad
ing. They had just passed the Covalt
corner when the horse became fright
ened at hay wagon beside the road.
1t started to run and in attemting to
hold it the lines broke and further at
tempts at restraining the animal were
useless and hence abandoned. The
occupants of the buggy were now at
the mercy of the frightened animal.
The horse was running at high speed
1t seemed that their only hope lay in
making Jump. This Mrs. Masterson
did and was followed by Stella and
Veda respectively. The daughters,
although injured, ran back to their
mother and finding her in critical
condition called for help. Their cries
brought Mr.. Covalt, who lives near by,
to their assistance. He and his wife
had but just arrived when Mrs. Mas
terson expired without having regain
ed consciousness. The exact cause of
death is conjecture, the doctor main
tanning that the breast was crushed
and the undertaken that the neck was
broken.
Such, in brief, is the history of one
one of the most terrible and sorrowful
accidents in the history of the county.
But words cannot convey to the hu-
man mind the loss sustained. 1t is ex-
perience alone that can here feel and
realize its full significance. Without
moments warning she was called,
robbing husband of his treasure, chill
dren of their beloved mother, and writ
ing perhaps the last page in the histo-
ry of one of the oldest, best known,

and one Of the most beautiful homes in
the county.
Mary A. Carter was born in Venago
county, Pa, March Is, 1S49. She was
united in marriage to VIM. Masterson
Oct, 1870. Four children were born
to them, three of whom survive her and
deeply mourn her loss. They came to
Audubon county in 1879, and with the
exception OF two years spent in Ne
braska, here made their home constant
ly since. She united with the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at the early age
of sixteen, and since that time has liv-
ed consistent christian life. Hers
was practical religion, a religion
which spread its benefcent influence
throughout the community in which
she lived, consoling, uplifting, guiding.
She was woman who took a deep
interest in public affairs, yet her fami-
ly was the bulwark of her life and that
in which she took the most pride.
She was interesting, versatile and So
cable. When one once visited her
home, desire was left to call again,
and thus many friendships were woven
which will last beyond this world.
This accident following so closely
upon the death of their son at Ames
last fall, after so brief an illness is a
most crushing blow and requires cour-
age and fortitude to withstand.
But disasters come not singly,
But as II they watched and waited,
When the first deseends the others
Follow, follow
TIL the air is dark with anguish"
May God bless that family in it's af-
hictions, and may the clouds of their
present sorrow soon break ond reveal
sunny future.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended in their present be-
reavement.
A large concourse of friends gather
ed at Bowman Sunduy evening at 4 p.
m. to listen to the last sad rites con-
Quoted by Rev. Rink, ofNorth Branch.
The remains were laid to rest beside
her son in the Bowman cemetery.
Asleep in Jesus peaceful rest,
Whose waking 10 supremacy blest!
No fear, no woe shall dim that hour
That manifssts the saviours power"

The Green Bay ad. on this page re.
minds the writer of little history in
the Green Bay Co.'s advertising. The
cut which ornaments the ad Is from a
well known Minneapolis house that
makes a specially Of the lumberman's
advertising wants. 1t has only been a
few years since the Green Bay manage
ment paid little attention to systematic
advertising and we believe the credit of
getting started in the right direction be-
longs to F. IL. Adams, the company's ge-
NAL manager in Audubon. He became
a believer in advertising and tried a
small space, looking after it with all the
care Green Bay manager looks after
the other parts Of his business and the
results were 80 satisfactory that the
company decided to continue the cam
paign of advertising and their ads now
add attractiveness to nearly every paper
where they have yards. The results OBJ
tanned by this company are only those
which can be obtained in every line Of
trade by advertising judiciously. They
make their ads attractive, tell what
they have to say in concise language and
back it with keeping promises made
therein-that in our opinion is judicious
advertising Manning Manitor.

Monday afternoon nearly all the offici-
ais OF the court house donned their
overalls and broad brimmed straw hats,
hunted pitch forks and went to the hay
field. Deputy clerk E. B. Cousios led
the procession. Treasurer BRENNAN,
Superintendent Farquhar, Clerk Hill
and Sheriff Anderson we're there and
they made force that caused the hay
to fairly fly. Make hay while the sun
shines is an old adage. The sun was
shining that afternoon and the mercury
fingered around 100 in the shade, but
those officials brought in and moved
away several loads of hay. They know
farmers work, each Of them having fol-
lowed it more or less. Their enthusiasm
caused each to lay aside his "official
capacity awhile and practice over again
those arts of pitching hay which they
were in some danger OF forgetting. Now
can they each testify as to each others
proficiency as farmers.

The telephone system has been chang.
ed this week, the automatic switch board
being replaced by the manual system.
The phones are all in working order this
p. m. IL you want any number, ring
central. We think we shall like this plan
better than the other. OF course the
automatic switch had some advantages.
but it has some disadvantages too.
However, enough reason for the change
is that the demand here for phones was
too much for the switch board to carry.
