Bad Wreck Just AVerted.

What might have been serious
accident if occurring while the train
was moving at full speed, happened
Friday at Lawler to the engine of
train No. 4 on the Milwaukee. A
side rod broke while the train was
entering the town, but because the
speed of the train was considerably
lessened the damage was not serious.
Had the side rods broke while under
full speed disastrous results might
have probably followed.

Rather II Close Call.

Last Friday while Carl Busse was
hauling ice, he came close to being
run down by the passenger train
from the west. He was driving near
the crossing at McKone's shop and
did not see the train. as the building
extends out almost to the track. Just
as he reached the track he saw the
train and turned the team, but the
horse next to the train was struck
on the hip and so badly injured that
it had to be killed. One wheel was
taken off the wagon and it was Other
wise smashed up, but Mr.. Busse man
aged to keep his feet and thus escap-
ed without injury. Eye witnesses
say that had Mr.. Busse slipped or lost
his balance, he would surely have
fallen under the cars. We are sorry
for Mr.. Busse's loss as the animal
was a valuable one.-Lawler Dis

ALWAYS have Kennedy's Laxative

Always have Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup handy, especially for
the children. 1t lasts nearly as good
as maple sugar. 1t cures the cold by
gently moving the bowels through
its laxative principle, and at the same
time it is soothing for throat irrit-
alton, thereby stopping the cough.
There is nothing as good. Scld by
