BOY ACCIDENT
ALLY SHOT
Eau Claire Lawyers Son Causes
Death OF Farmers Boy While Out
i'm a Boat Monday

A sad accident occurred in the town
of Thornapple, Monday, near the new
dam being constructed by the Menasha
Paper Co. 10 miles south of this city.
Three boys were out on the river in a
boat: Frank Farr of Eau Claire, aged
Is, Adolph Girard, aged 13, and a
younger Girard boy. The younger boy
spied porcupine on the shore and
called the other boys attention to it,
who both reached for loaded shotgun
which lay in the bottom of the boat.
Farr took hold of it in such way that
it was pointing at Girard and when he
drew it toward him the hammer caught
and the explosion sent the full charge
into Adolph Girard's side. Death was
instantaneous.
Attorney Farr, of the firm of Wick
ham & Farr of Eau Claire, the older
boys father, drove to the scene of the
accident in an automobile, and did what
could be done to relieve the distress
of the bereaved family. Justice K.
S. Reeves of this city was called to act
as coroner and decided an inquest un-
necessary. Undertaken Miller of this
city was summoned and prepared the
body for burial. The parents of both
boys are grief stricken; Mrs. Farr was
so Frustrated as to be unable to attend
the funeral.
Adolph Girard, the victim of the ac-
cident, was the second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fritz Girard, living near the
Thornapple DAM He was born in Rusk
county, Feb. l, 1896.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. ]. E. Watson at the M. E.
church in this city Wednesday and in
terment made in Riverside cemetery.

PREPARING FOR
MORE TRAFFIC
new Time Gard Aug. will Have Two
through Freiahts and Possibly a
passenger over CHICAGO Div.

humors are rife among the trainmen
on the Chicago Division as to the in
crease OF the railroad traffic through
Cfhs city Orders have been issued for
installing a telegraph office in the tow
er mouse at the junction and trains will
be handled by operators after Aug. 1.
IA telegraph operator will also be sta
Il d at Sheldon. Two through
Irelghts will be run through here from
a bottsfo ord to Weyerhaeuser. An
extra freight has already been put on
TO do the local work between this city
and Owen.
The new time card is also expected
TO include passenger train from Sup
error to Abottsford, making a night
run to connect with trains to and from
Chicago and also connecting with the
500 limited each way at this station.
II this train is not put on at this time,
through passenger service between Chi
cago and the head of the lakes will pro-
badly not be delayed more than month
longer, as the depot at Duluth is to be
completed by September l. The time
from Duluth to Chicago will be twelve
hours.
Freight traffic has increased to such
an extent that more sidetracks are al
most necessity at this point, where
there is much transferring.
There is no certainty as to when the
actual consolidation of the offices of
the 500 and Central will take place at
this point. 1t is expected that the Cen
trail depot will be used as a passenger
station and moved one block to the
junction or where it stands. The 500
depot will probably be used as freight
depot when the consolidation is effect
ed.

Siege of Crete.

Crete, which has just declared it's
union with Greece, can claim to have
been the scene Of one of the longest
sieges on record-longer than the
siege of Troy-for in the Seventeenth
century it took the Turks more than
twenty years to capture it's capital
city. The island, in fact. is famous
for protracted military operations,
for though the revolution of 1921 was
speedily successful in the open coun-
try, the fortified towns were still un-
captured when the powers intervened,

for the purpose of collecting tailoring
bill of SIT, which he claims due him on
account of making suit of clothes for
Mr.. Cosgriff's son Dan. The case was
heard before Justice Reeves this morn
ing and dismissed. The Justice held
that the assault was justifable mas
much as Schwartz was trespassing on
Cosgriff's premises and annoying the
defendant. Schwartz, whois cripple,
still carries several marks of the con-
fiict.
