ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Geo. Walsh, the 13 year old son of
DR.. James Walsh, while plying tag
with three other boys in front of the
Ideal theatre last week one evening
ran into r. Morse aud his Buick auto
mobile at the corner off of Vine ST.
Fortunately for the boy that the car
was running at slow rate of speed for
the car was stopped in half its length,
The boy was running towards Bogo-
gers corner while his face was turned
toward the First National Bank
watching his purSuer when he struck
the car. He fell between the two
front wheels and was taken out just
in front of the hind wheel. He was
badly shaken up and had cut in the
palm Of the right hand which is sup.
posed to have occurred by the breaking
of the glass in the lamp. Mr.. Morse
is exempt from all blame as he did
everything in his power to prevent
the accident. Our police officers are
requested to prevent boys from play
ing on any Of the crossings on our
main busy thoroughfares. A little
precaution on their part will prevent
just such accidents.

WINNIE PODAWILTZ NOW
DENIES CHARGE OF ARSON

The writer called upon Winnie Poda-
wiltz at the county Jail yesterday
who was arrested in Milwaukee Mon
day and brought here Tuesday by
Sheriff WEIGH. She now denies hav-
ing set the Podawiltz barn atire. In
spite Of this denial, the authorities
here have her SWORD statement taken
in Milwaukee and sworn to. In effect
that statement says that while here
her sister Edith objected to her going
out nights with fellows and she got
mad at her sister Edith because she
persisted in locking her out of the
house when out late nights. For
this reason she set fire to the barn as
1T was the property of her sister Edith
and in that manner thought she was
getting even with her. She used a
match Ia setting the hay atire. From
the evidence on hand her guilt will
undoubtedly be proven.

that he is man of the people, pleasant
to meet and associate with. A good
business man of integrity and ability,
ready to meet you half way upon any
reasonable proposition. We hear good

MORE MERRIMENT

John Aylward and Neal Brown.
Democratic candidate for Governor
and United States senator, respective
ly, are running on and supporting a
platform which declares that
"We believe unreservedly in the
principle of primary election, bringing
home in the voter direct control of
nomination"
Here is what these same gentle
men said about the primary election
principle at the Democratic conven-
tion of 1904, of which they were domi-
nant delegates:
Mr.. Aylward-"The primary election
law is thoroughly undemocratic and if
it should be approved it will give the
present governor (LaFollette) control IT
the machinery and enable him to die
tate and perpetuate his authority for
the next forty years"
Mr.. Brown-"The primary election
law is simply GOLD brick. 1t is meant
to accomplish something that is i'm
possible. 1t will turn out another
Bennett law and before the Republican
and Democrats are through with it,
both will be anxious to get rid of it"
Wonderful prophets, weren't they?
Today both of these opportunists
are yelping for little bit of the ter
rible LaFollette authority to put them
in office; are going into coniptions over
the sanctity of the primary election
principle.
Two cured and seasoned reaction
aries and corporation apologists kow-
towing to their arch enemy, LaFoll-
cite, and posing as the conservators
of progressive principle!
1t is to laugh.-Free Press.
