H. M. Borgren Injured at
Brick Plant Monday
Clothing Caught in Crusher
Shaft While it Was
In Motion

Mr.. FL. M. Borgren met with
a severe accident at the brick
plant Monday afternoon. The
belt which runs the crusher
came off and in attempting to
put it on again. Mr.. Borgren's
coat sleeve caught ona set screw
and he was carried around the
shaft several times. Had it not
been for the fact that the ma
chinery was running at a very
low rate of speed he would have
undoubtedly been instantly killed
and as it was the right arm was
broken above the elbow. and he
sustained number of severe
bruises. DR.. Spears informs us
that Mr.. Borgren is doing as
well as could be expected. We
hope that no compllca-
tion will set IN and that he will
be out and able to resume his
former place soon.

Team Runs Away

There was quite a little ex-
citement along Bayfield, street
Monday afternoon when a team
belonging to VIM. Olson ran
away going nearly the entire
length of the business section
Of the street. It seems that the
team had been standing near
the Hotel Washburn when IN
some manner they become
frightened, presumably by a
piece of waste paper being blown
against them. and ran down the
street as far as Bergmann's
when they were caught by Joe
Veno. For a time it looked as
tho they intended to enter The
Times building and make "pi"
for the benefit Of the printers.
However, as they reached the
turn in the street, the wagon
struck the curbing. the team
swerved. and went on down the
street as far as Bergmann's
hardware store where they were
finally caught. There was prac-
tically no damage done.

Life is What We Make 1t

Let's oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones
And sing abouto ur happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We were not made<to fret and sigh
And when grief sleeps to wake it,
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it,
Let's find the sunny side OF men.
Or the believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it,
Oh, there's slumb7ing good in all
And we perchance may wake it:
Oar hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving
hearts
Shed light and joy about them;
Thanks be to them for countless
gems
We never had known without
them
Oh, this should be happy world
To all who may partake it,:
The faults our own if it is not
This life is what we make it.

Ashland, Wis. Sept. II: 1910
Judge John K. Parish opened
the September term of court for
Ashland county, Monday, with
the jury present. There are
thirteen criminal cases, thirty
seven jury civil cases and forty
one court cases on the calender.
Among the criminal cases which
have been disposed of, is the case
against William Elder and Lonis
Seagal, Jr., both of whom resid-
ed at .Glidden. These parties
were charged with manslaughter
for having caused the death of
one John Rothenberger, an old
man of eighty years of age, by
carelessly driving over him with
a horse and buggy, and fatally
injurlng him. These men were
under the the influences of liquor
and instead of securing medical
attendance for him, they permit
ted the old man to lie there.
The Judge sentenced William
Eder. who did the driving. TO the
reformatory at Green Bay, and
fined him, while Louis Seagal
was only fined. The parties
were both impecunious and the
judgment of the court will serve
as lesson to them.
There are several fire cases
against the 500 Railway COM
pany on the calender.

Mrs. A. w. Wells of Denver, who
was yesterday chosen president OF
the Colorado State Federation OF Wo-
mems clubs, declined the position for
reasons personal to herself. although
she was keenly appreciauve of the
honor that had been done her, and
Mira. A. H. McLain OF this city was
this morning elected by the executive
committee to succeer her. Mrs. Wells
was not present at the convention and
her election for the highest office in
the gift of the Federation was made
without her knowledge and without
proof whether she would accept it
or not Her deciination was positive
and as the members Of the executive
committee were still in Canon City,
they met in special session this morn
ng and unanimously elected Mrs. Nc
Lain to the vacancy.
Mrs. McLain was urged by very
influential part of the convention yes
terday to allow her name TO be pre-
sented for the presidency, but she per
sistently refused to seriously consider
the proposition. although assured that
there would be no opposition to her
election. A sufficient number of
delegates from Denver. Colorado
Springs, Pueblo, Leadville and other
places to elect Mrs. McLain endeavor-
ed to persuade her to accept the pres
idency, but to no purpose and the
place went to Mrs. Wells without op-
position.
In choosing Mrs. McLain to be
chief executive of the Federation a
deserved recognition has been extend

on Canon City of which neither are
