on Wagon Gives Way.

Edward Zeuske. only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Zeuske, pioneers of North
I'd Springs, was instantly killed
pile south OF. Weston Tuesday morning
at 10 O'Clock in runaway accident on
the steep mountain grade.
The young map, in company with
his brother-in-law, William Brown,
had teen to Weston mountain after a
Load of wood and in descending the
steep grade mile south of Weston his
brake broke and the team started to
run down the mountain. He jumped
to tho ground. but was caught under
one of the horses which fell and his
skull was crushed, his death ensuing
within few moments after the aoci-

The mountain grade near Weston is
steep and dangerous and great precau-
tions are taken by teamsters in de-
scending the grade. Some portion of
his brake apparatus gave way, how
ever, and the wagon rushed onto the
team. causing it to run. Hoping to
escape injury he jumped to the ground
and was caught under one of the
heavy horses which stumbled and
fell.

years of age. He had wife and one
child and resided in the North Cold

Rust On Wheat.

Rust has appeared in many wheat
fields in this vicinity. At the present
lime only the leaves are rusted, the
stalk SO far escaping. The cause is at
tributed to cold weather of back
ward spring. Now that if has turned
warm, it is believed that any damage
the crop has sustained will be checked.
The rust appears in greater quantity
in fields where the grain is thick and
of rank growth. some fields being free
from il altogether.
