THE alarm of fire last Tuesday
night indicates the necessity of
being particular to locate the
exact whereabout of a fire before
the fire company leaves the en-
CINE house. If the person who
turns in the alarm would see
that the firemen are advised of
the whereabouts of a fire, much
valuable time could be saved.
Time is precious during the pro
gress of a fire, and the fire com
pany cannot afford to go many
blocks out of its way to locate
the trouble.

JOY RIDERS INJURED.
Party From Lansing Fails to Con-
troll Machine and Receive Pain
full Injuries.

A party Of young men drove over
from Lansing on Monday in an
auto, and after spending some time
in the city started for home, and
when a short distance east of the
Peter Bake farm on the Frank
vile road met with an accident
which injured most of the occupants
of the auto and severely damaged
the machine.
The accident must have been
caused either from very reckless
driving or from a defect in the ma
chine, possibly both. 1t is said that
the road is fine where the accident
occurred, but that in some way they
drove the car off the side of the
road and ran it alongside a bank
of earth on the side of the road, the
front wheel being torn from the
machine by compact with the road
side, throwing the occupants out
and mixing things up generally Dr.
Jewell, who was out in that part
of the county on a call, was soon
located and fixed up the party so
that they could go on home, John
Mccall going out from DEBORAH and
taking them to Lansing. They were
all scratched and bruised consider
ably. One mans ribs were broken,
enother's face and jaw badly cut,
and all had minor injuries, none of
which were very serious.

Getting Rid of Gonhers.

Chas. Downs has discovered an
effective means of getting rid of
gophers. His plan is to soak a small
piece of rag with gasoline, place it
in the hole and stamp the hole full
of dirt. He has opened many holes
thus treated and has always found
that the gas had killed the gopher.
The only time the remedy fails is
where there are two openings of
the same hole nearby. At this time
of the year when the gopher is ex-
ceedingly pestiferous" the plan is
well worth the trial.-Hawkeye
