Had a Close Shave.

While b. L. Mathis and Andrew
Bulls we're taking little spin in the
frst-named gentleman's automobile
early Monday morning, and when
some distance on the other side of the
East Branch bridge, the machine ran
amuck and it's occupants had mar
row escape from receiving fatal in
juries.
1t appears that the machine-going
at an average rate of speed-had just
passed team of horses which became
scared, and Mr.. Mathis, turning
around to ascertain the result, &C
cidentally shifted the steering gear
and the automobile plunged down a
four-foot embankment. There it
struck post on a barbed-wire fence
and threw Mathis about twenty feet.
Mr.. Bulls jumped from the other side
of the machine. Mathis right leg
was badly bruised and Andrew, in
jumping, had the left sleeve of his
coat ripped open and his arm badly
scratched. But he does not mind this
as much as bruise which he received
in his side, which is very painful.
After the accident Mr.. Mathis, with
the assistance of Gust Lind, who was
passing at the time, managed to back
the machine out of the ditch and, al
though badly damaged, it was run
back to Princeton and Mathis made
his mail trip in it the same day. The
next day, however, he found himself
SO stiff that he could not leave his
bed. il
Mr.. Mathis is an expert chauffeur,
but occasionally the best of them be-
come careless or, at any rate, meet
with accidents. S.

Council Gives Its Sailing Orders.

The council met in adjourned
session on Thursday evening, April
Is, for the purpose of starting the vii.
lage off right under the. new regime
giving the sailing orders, etc. Among
the business disposed of was the fol-
lowing:
$. A. Cravens was reelected mar
shall at salary of $50 per month fat.
The village scales we're ordered closed
until next fall or such time as the
council deemed it advisable to again

ton:car of two kinds of coal, with an
engineer, to give a practical test of

was accepted.
The liquor bonds of Fred Holm and
Sjoblom Bros. were approved.
Councilman Whitney suggested that
the liquor licenses be increased, but
upon motion the amount was fixed at
$500, as heretofore
President Terrell stated that he was
opposed to raising the license so long
as the number of saloons remained
the same as at present he believed in
giving the proprietors an opportunity
to make living without having to
resort to selling liquor on Sunday or
other unlawful acts. He would. how
ever, favor a higher license if the
number of saloons we're cut down to
four or five.
E. L. Mcmillan was elected village
attorney at a salary of 800 per year.
President Terrell then addressed the
saloonkeepers, who had been sum-
moned to appear before the council.
He said that the council had decided
upon course which he believed
would benefit all concerned. He told
them that some of the things which the
council asked them to do could not be
enforced under any state law, but he
was of opinion that they would cheer
fully cooperate with the council in
carrying out its request. If not ordi-
nances would be passed which would
enforce compliance. The require
ments of the council, in brief form,
are as follows:
That no women shall be permitted
to hold forth in saloons.
That all tables shall be removed
from saloons.
That all gambling devices such as
slot machines, dice boxes, etc., shall
be removed. This to apply also to
candy stores, barber shops, drug
stores, cigar stores, etc.
That sa1oonkeepers shall not clean
up their places of business on Sun
day, but an hour and half would be
allowed for this purpose on Saturday
or any other night suitable after the
regular closing hour. The saloon
doors must, however, be locked dur
ing this time and no patrons allowed:
therein.
3 That minors shall not be allowed in
saloons and if such minors attempted
to secure drinks the saloonkeepers
shall eject them from the premises.
That fellows on the black list and
intoxicated persons shall under no
condition be sold or given liquor.
That gambling rooms IN connection
with saloons would not be tolerated
under pain of having the license re-
.voked. Other persons found running
gambling rooms, clubs or blind pigs
would be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law. rs
The, saloon men all appeared.

Reports from Waco are drifting in
slowly. and are to the effect that the
Yanigans are doing well up there. It
also became known today that Clarke
Griffith thinks so much of Jesse Tame
hill as a bali player, aside from his
pitching, that Griffith has been urging
Cantillon TO get waivers on Tannehil
IN order that Griffith may grab him
as an outhelder. Tannehin has always
had reputation as a hitter and brainy
performer, which caused Cantillon TO
set him from Boston even after Jesse
appeared all in and Griffiths chance for
landing the veteran twirler is slim. 1t
would not be surprising to see Tame
hill play the outfield many times for
Washington this summer
Cantiilon also announced today that
he was definitely counting upon Blank
enship as a utility outtielder and would
give him every chance 10 make good
there, a proposition which meets with
the full approval of Blankenship, who
IS anxious TO get in the game as much
RS possible.
