Mining Accidents.

While at work sinking a shaft for the
Chief of Police company Tuesday morn
ing, Mr.. Carl Healy received a severe
blow on the head by falling tub. He
was down about eighteen feet when the
tub, in which were some drills, sledge
and some other tools, by some unknown
reason, became detached from the rope
as it was being lowered. 1t was heavy
tub and struck Mr.. Healy on the head,
producing an awful bruise a little to
one side and forward of center, affect
ing an eye and causing blood to flow
from his nose and mouth and knocking
him senseless. AS quickly as possible,
his partner on the job, Mr.. Henry
Thrasher, got him to the surface and
conveyed him home. A physician was
Immediately summoned, and although
he remained in a comatose state for
some hours, Mr.. Healy's condition at
this writing is quite favorable, with
prospects of a speedy recovery.
Joseph Bray was the victim of most
unfortunate accident on last Thursday
night at the John Ross mine in this
city. He was in charge of the hoist
and in putting the belt on the engine
got his arm caught, resulting in the
breaking of both bones of his forearm.
At present he is getting along as well
as anyone might hope or expect.

HIGH SCHOOL DAYS ENDED
For Twenty-Five Students Who We're
Presented With Diplomas
BY School Board.

The school year of 1905-O6 in Mineral
Point is at an end, and class of thir-
teen boys and twelve girls launch out
into the affairs of the world distinctly
different from those within the boun-
daries of high school life.
Closing exercises were divided into
the usual two parts. What are termed
the class day exercises were given two
successive evenings "wednesday and
Thursday of last week, and repeated
on Monday evening of this week by
request. The program was properly
termed, "a Dramatic Evening, con-
sisting of three distinct parts, or plays,
entitled, ''Mrs. Busby's Pink Tea, =
1.-THE Straw Man." and Charley S
Aunt" in which twenty-three of the
graduates participated, each one carry
ing his or her part cleverly, so well, in
fact, that it would be impossible for
the Tribune to offer criticism.
Commencement. exercises took place
a. the P. M. church Friday morning,
the 9Th, and will long be remembered
by those who attended. The platform
was decorated very prettily with ma.
lures choicest flowers, class colors

lowed by invocation and song by thu

dent of the class, gave an address thai
would reflect credit on one much higher

ally along the lines of thought and de

The eighth annual picnic of the Cath
Ole societies of southwest Wisconsin is
now an historic event. 1t was held in
this city Tuesday, June IL, 1906. The
cheerfulness of the delightfully."- bright
morning was enhanced by the decora-
ton of our city in the nations colors of
freedom and patriotism the red, white
and blue.
The excursion trains, bearing FIVE
hundred or more guests and the Cuba
City and Darlington bands, were met
at the depot by the local society in a
body accompanied by the home band.
Procession was formed at the depot and
marched up Commerce to High thence
west to the picnic grounds to the en-
chanting music Of the three bands. 1t
was grand sight, the line being fully
six blocks long.
Arriving at the shady, inviting
grounds, E. c. Fielder, president of the
day, called the assemblage to order and
presented Mayor Osborne who gave
short but hearty address of welcome,
concluding the same with a proffer to
all guests of large gilded key adorned
with bow of blue ribbon-th key Of
freedom to our city. Band music fol-
lowed, after which the joyous throng
dispersed for dinner.
BY noon hundreds had gathered from
farm and surrounding cities and vii
liages, and these together with those
who came by train made one vast null
titude At 2 p. m. all had reassembled
to listen to an eloquent Grafton by
Rev. D. D. Hishen of Chicago. 1t was
| literary feast, and should the logical
utterances of the speaker take root the
holding of The picnic will not be with
out substantial profit to mankind. A
short, pithy address by Rev. James
O'keefe, in his happy vein, merited the
applause it received Aside from the
excellent selections interspersed by the
bands another pleasing feature was the
singing by the Imperial Quartette, con
sisting of Messrs. Vickerman, Coady
Hoare and Toay.
