Wrestler Lawson Just Missed Being N Struck by Train. ~ ~
 Charles Lawson, the wrestler, had a narrow escape from being struck by work train at the Rubber ave- nue crossing this morning, He was riding in his milk wagon and the noise of the cans prevented him from hearing the train that was running at high rate of speed, and as the bell on the engine was not ringing, as the rules call for, he did not see the engine until it was almost upon him, when his horse made a plunge and carried him across the track safely, but with no time to spare. AS 1t was, 1t was close call. There are many teams going over this crossing before the gateman goes on duty in the morning and the trains ought not run with such speed when there is no protection offered.

Built Close To Line.
 i The Union Center school district committee held a meeting last night. The chairman was instructed to exc 1 cute lease of piece of land ad- joining the property of Frank E. Clark on the west side of Rubber ave- nue school grounds. It seems that when Mir Clark erected his building he unintentionally built close to the line so that the cave troughs on his building are hanging over the prop erty of the school distrct and the committee voted to lease to him for | q nominal sum enough land that will allow him to keep the cave troughs on | his building. The committee are also considering the placing of sand pipes in the different school houses to be used in case of fire, but no action was taken on this matter, Club Going Into Camp
