VIM. f. Schalow of the town of
Berlin, died suddenly Wednesday
afternoon, as result of hemorrhage
of the lungs. On account of there
being no physician present, the coro-
ner was compelled to make an inves-
tigation, which resulted in no inquest
being held. He had been an invalid
for several months. Deceased is sur
vived by his wife, parents and several
brothers and sisters. He was twenty
eight years of age.
John Schwister has completed the
repairs On his biplane, and expects to
begin soaring the heavens again soon.
While making a flight on the evening
of July 2, over his aviation field at
Rothschild, he came down in hurry,
after he had ascended to the height
of 100 feet or more. His machine
was considerably wrecked as result,
and those who witnessed the accident
think it strange that John was not
even injured.

a recent meeting of the BARRIERS un-

keeping open as long as there was a

will give both employer and employe
more rest, and allow them to get to
bed at more reasonable hour.

street west to the slough bridge.
Some months ago, when the matter
was brought up, most of the property
owners on that street were in favor
of brick, but since the creoSoted block
pavement has been laid on Third
street, some of these property owners
have taken change of heart, and
they are now red hot creosoted block
men. Hence, it is likely that no ac-
tion will be taken this year to pave
that street.
