Auto Runs Down a Child.

The seven-year-old daughter of Fred
Mathemeier, the shoemaker on lower
Main street, narrowly escaped what
might have been a serious accident
Tuesday evening. With several other
children she was playing on the street,
and when Fred Brakkage came up the
street in his big car she evidently did
not see it as she jumped directly in its
path. The machine struck her and
knocked her down, but fortunately she
fell in such manner that the wheels
did not strike her as the machine pass
ed over her. The front axle struck her
head, bruising it quite badly, but other
wise she was uninjured.
No blame can attach to Mr.. Brakkage
in the matter, as all who saw the acct
dent agree that he was not running to
exceed four miles an hour when he
struck the child. In fact he had cut off
the power preparatory to stopping the
machine just before the accident
occurred, and the car ran only a feet
after striking the child. 1t was an ac-
cident pure and simple and the out
come is particularly fortunate.

LIBRARY entertainment
Interesting Program at The
Library Entertainment

The library entertainment at the
opera house in this city Friday even
ing, given under the auspices of the
Ladies Club by Miss Sue Gregory
assisted by local talent, was a pro-
nounced success, both as an entertain
ment and from a financial point of
view.
Miss Gregory's original poems and
recitations were well rendered and
enthusiastically received by the audi
ence. She was enthusiastically
encored on every number.
However, the Photograph Album"
proved the best of the list, and was
novel, interesting and highly entertain
ing. The able explanation of the "pho-
tographs" by Miss Gregory produced
roars of laughter from the audience and
in several instances the subjects in the
frame We're forced to join in the merri-
ment.
The High School Orchestra again
covered itself with glory by its mas
terly and artistic rendition of its vari-
GUS numbers on the program, and all
Webster feels that in our High School
Orchestra we can boast of one of the
most perfect musical organizations in
the state.
We hope the ladies will continue their
library agitation and that the citizens
will fall in line and boost until the
desired end is accomplished and Web
ster has public reading room and lib
rary second to none in the state. Boost
for the library furd. The ladies are
doing it now and YOU ought to help
them.

Mark 18th Annual Reuni8h
of the Old Settlers Assn.

The Day County Old Settlers are in
possession of Webster today, Ever
since early morning the old timers have
been arriving in crowds, by train, in
automobiles and in buggies, and at the
time we go to press the streets are
crowded and the old settlers are unani-
nous in expressing the opinion that
it is the biggest and best reunion in
the history of the Association.
The weather is ideal, and the old set
tiers are thoroughly enjoying the day,
listening to the speeches, renewing
old acquaintance and talking over old
times back in the SOS when the future
of South Dakota did not look as bright
as it does now.

A DISASTROUS COMPLICATION
MaRY HISS aiss Lost IN DIsus,ro'
Farm FRIDAY Night.

About HOO o'clock Friday night an
alarm of fire was turned in from the
Thos. McKennett farm just southeast
of town. The fremen responded
promptly and the fire apparatus was
placed behind the Day County Auto q
Supply Co.'S. big auto truck and was
soon on its way to the scene of the con-
flagation, but as the machine turned
the corner of Main street and Railroad
Avenue Aleck Ross stopped it and in
formed the firemen that Tom had tele-
phoned in stating that he had the fire
under control.
A few of the firemen went out TO the
farm and found that the fire was con-
fined to small store building situated
near some of the larger building on the
farm. The building was occupied by
two broods of chickens and a litter OF
kittens, and as there is no evidence
that any of them were saved, the fatal
Iities are estimated to be in the neigh
borhood of twenty. In addition to this
enormous loss of live stock Mr.. McKen-
nett also reports the loss of numerous
farm, shop and cement tools. Master
Herbert was by far the heaviest loser.
He lost his Savage % rifle, and was
also heavily interested in both the kit.
! tens and the chickens.
The building burned was between Mr.
McKennett's big barn and the city, and
when the fire was first discovered the
reflection made it appear as though the
barn was a mass of flames.
