Man Hurt When Wagon ColIapses-
Small Tool Causes Trouble.
While taking a wagonload of supplies
to a crew of linesmen who are building
an extension to the Monroe County Tele-
phone Company's line, a workman named
Truesdale was thrown to the ground by
the collapse of the wagon and severely
injured. An examination of the vehicle
which had just left the factory, developed
the fact that a small hand saw that lay
in the bottom of the wagon box had slip
per through crack under the sideboard
and the blade firmly held, hitting the
spokes of the rear wheel, slowly sawed
them through as the wheel revolved

OWES DEATH TO PIPE.


Marineste Smokers Room Catches
Fire and He Is Found Dead.
Leo Birman, aged 50 years, was smoth-
cred to death in fire which did only
about SO damage. The fire occurred in
the Edwin house in Marinette and was
caused by Birman leaving his lighted pipe
on the washstand after he had gone to
bed. The stand caught fire and the floor
and wall then ignited. The smoke was
noticed by passersby, who gave the alarm.
Two fremen had to crawl on their hands
and knees to reach Birman When he
was hauled out, he was dead. The fire
was easily extinguished.

SfoODed and Saved Life.

A. D. Roadhouse, clerk of the Munich
pal Court in Beloit, had a narrow escape
from death the other night, when a live
telephone wire short circuited an electric
light wire, the broken ends falling within
a foot of where he stood. He owes his
life to the fact that the wind blew his
hat off, causing him to stoop after it.

When she had sufficiently recovered to
