WautCma.-M Fannie Shorey,
student of the Waushara Coun-
ty Training school of this village,
whose home is in Coloma, and her
brother, Robert Shorey had an eX-
perience which rivals some expert
| ences related of polar expeditions.
Miss Shorey was on her way home
from the training school and was met
at the farm home of Mr. Schmudlach
on the Coloma road by her brother.
| They remained to supper and started
for home about eight o'clock in the
evening, having a light sleigh with
! two horses hitched to 1t. After going
a short distance the boy lost his way
in the dark and took the wrong road
which led them into a corn field not
far from the place where they started
from. Upon discovering that they had
gone wrong the boy attempted to turn
around and in doing so the rig was
tipped over and the sleigh pole
broken.
The boys first thought was to care
for his sister until he could secure
help and he prepared a place for her
in corn shock, wrapping her up in
his fur coat and covering her the best
he could with cornstalks. He then
set out to go to Schmudlach' house
for assistance. He had lost his bear
ing in the meantime, however, and
instead Of going in the right direction
he kept wandering around through
the deep snow until morning, when he
reached Schmudlach's house, cold and
nearly exhausted.
His sister was soon found and
brought there also. She had suffered
considerably with the cold and it was
found her feet had been chilled. The
horses were found at nearby neigh
boris.

however, have brought charges

is expected that practically every

similar ordinances.
Pound.-A farmer from Ellis
Junction on his way home from
Lena, came near being struck by a
train recently. He was evidently un.
der the influence of liquor and did not
realize that when his team turned up
the railroad track that he was on the
wrong road, but his sleigh became
wedged in between the rails at the
switch and he was unable to eXtricate
himself from his perilous position.
Some young men who were at the sta.
ton waiting for the train heard his
shouts and went to see what the trou-
Bile was. The train was approaching.
and they hurriedly unhitched the
mules, and then tipped the sleigh
with its load, over, aud it rolled down
the embaukment, just about a minute
before the train came.
