The ice in Yellow river went out
Monday without doing any damage
to the dam as many expected the
water was not as high as it usual
ly is and many jams were the con-
sequence. The local nimrods can be-
gin to get their tackle ready for the
season, although we don't think that
fishing by moonlight will have as
many attractions as in former years.
What came near being serious
runaway occurred last Sunday fore
noon on the South Side. A horse
driven by Arthur Mitchell took fright
at a piece of paper, became unman-
ageable near G. H. Curries resi-
dence and started toward the river.
The driver was not in the rig at
the time but was holding the animal
with the reins but was unable to
stop her and she went on wild
run directly for the river, but
swerved to the side just in time to
save herself from being drowned as
the river is very deep at this point
and ran on until the buggy caught a
post in the corner of John Whiting

The election of officers of the
town of Wood passed off very quiet
ly Tuesday, as there was a scarcity
of candidates and no opposition. The
many friends Of Peter Hansen were
very sorry to learn that he would
not be a candidate for reelection as
chairman, but the loss is somewhat
recompensed in the election of Emery
Ayres. T he business affairs of the
town are in excellent shape, the I'M
finished road jobs of the last 4 or
5 years have been finished and paid
for.
During the last two years about
$4,000 has been spent on road work,
which sum includes the cost of four
and half miles of new road and two
foot span, with REINFORCED concrete
floors and stone abuttments. The
retiring board recommended that the
town appropriate $500, or one half
the estimated cost of a new bridge
to be built across Mud Creek in the
eastern part of the town and on
motion of M. Lowell the same was
adopted.
It is expected that the new board
will follow the policy of the retiring
board and give the town good,
economical, business-like administra-
ton as they have clear sailing and
balance of $1,000 in the treasury.
The following officers were elected:
chairman, Emery D. Ayres; super
visors, John Horn and Adam Lip
Ike; clerk, F. o. Demmerich; as
SCISSOR, Geo. Dawes; treasurer, G.

Big Ocean Liners
 In Exciting Race

London, June 2S.-It falls to the lot of comparatively few voyagers across the Atlantic to enjoy the excitement of a race from Fire Island to the Eng hsh Channel in such measure as did Red Star liners Amerika and Lapland, respectively. The former arrived at Plymouth Saturday night, while the latter reached Dover Sunday morning.
 For seven days and nights the two great vessels plowed the self-same un- ruffled seas almost side by side. So evenly matched were they in speed that their logs were almost identical, and although for five and a half days the Amerika held her rival half to quarter mile astern, she could not shake her off. and finally turned into Plymouth wita the Lapland only a few hundred yards behind.
