THE KING ROAD DRAG.
NATIONWIDE, May 20, 1908

NAYLoRvILLE, May 20, 1908
ED. NEws:-Since the Standard
Oil company and the Beef Trust in.
vestigations are drawing to close,
the papers are beginning to agitate
the good roads question again. l
notice what you say in regard to
the King road drag. Now, l have
seen it's work, and it is the best tool
for road making l ever saw-for
dirt roads. But majority of our
roads need some grading and side
ditching, to carry the water from
the roads and adjoining land.
AT present the roads are bitches,
but with little work with the road
grader in rounding up the centers
and opening the side bitches, and
using the King drag, we can have
roads with little cost which would
be equal to turnpikes ten months
in the year.
All want good roads, but to get
started seems to be the trouble.
Under the new law the old-time
road boss is thing of the past.
The members of the township board
are the road commissioners, and
they have plenty of authority to
build and maintain roads. 1t is up
to the people to see that they do it.
Now, I make this proposition: l
control the land on one or two sides
of three miles of road, two miles OF
which is used daily by the govern
ment for the mail service. If the
road commissioned will round up
the centers of these roads 30 as to
convey the water to the sides, and
open bitches to carry the water
from the adjoining lands, will
agree to drag said three miles OF
road thoroughly twelve times a
wear for the next two years, free OF
charge. All ask is that the road
commissioners round up the roads
and take care of the water that falls
outside of the roads. / will take
care of all that falls in the road, and
with the King drag will show you
at the end of two years, three miles
of the best dirt road kept by any
one man in Cherokee county.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Louis Selbert's Team Backed OF the
Baxter Bridge Into River.

Saturday evening just after dark,
Louis Seibert of Columbus met
with a terrible accident on the
bridge at Baxter Syringe which for
tunately resulted without loss OF
his life.
Mr.. Scibert had been to Galena to
get some repairs TO machinery In
use at mine he and Jack Lowe are
developing near Baxter, and was
driving a mule team. The wagon
was heavily loaded with the repairs.
When on the bridge the mules scar.
ed at another team approaching
and backed the wagon against the
railing. which gave way and the
wagon and contents and mules
went into the flooded river below.
Mr.. Seibert jumped and only es.
capped by the slightest chance. He
saw the team and wagon go over
the dam.
Realizing that he could do moth
ing he came home to Columbus on
the Frisco, and Sunday morning he
and his brother Harry went to Bax.
ter and found one mule alive near
the bank distance below the dam.
The other mule was drowned. The
wagon and harness were injured
but the machinery was lost. An ex'
animation of the bridge revealed
that the railing was rotten it's whole
length. The county will probably
be held for the damage.
It is a happy thing that Mrs., Sci
bert and the children were not with
him on the wagon. They changed
their plans and took the train from
Varck to Columbus, or a terrible
tragedy might have taken the
whole family.

Five feet of rich lead ground was
