been made for celebrating the Fourth

pool where boys as we'll as men may

Launched their Gasoline Launch.

Henry Winger and Earl Wood
launched their new gasoline boat
Friday below the wagon bridge and
made trial trip. To onlookers from
bridge the gasoline engine and propel-
Ter seemed to work fine and the boat
plowed through the water at quite a
speed. The boys however thought
different and it is said they have
taken it all apart again to bring it to
a greater degree of perfection. The
boys are in partnership in this deal
and bought the gasoline engine for
the boat. To build the prope Her,
rudder, ETC., and to make all parts fit
requires some mechanical ingenuity
and the young men are to be cengratu-
lated upon their success.

of Wautoma, came to the city one day
last week, hired horse and rubber
tired road wagon of Charley Lester
and in company with his old time
friend w. L. Boyce drove out to the
Grand Rapids Brick yard to look over
their plant. They tied their horse to
post and left it thinking it secure.
But the animal became nervous and
frightened at a switch engine and tore
loose and ran on the main track of the
Central road just ahead of the pass
enger train, that was speeding on it's
way to MarShfield. The horse stayed
on the track making good time for a
distance of two miles. It then got
off the track and let the train pass,
neighing to the train crew, as much
as to say; if there were any oats in
sight, l would beat your old train to
Marshfield. There was not scratch
on the new road wagon, nor was the
horse any the worse for his experience
in the wild race ahead of a passenger
train.
