The inadequate and WORKOUT heating
plant that was installed with the con-
struction of the bUilding some fifteen
years ago, is just now giving place to
a modern steam system, more in keep

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Two Children gicked by Horse on Tues
day Evening in This City

While playing in the barn. on Tues
day at the Bert Frohock home, little
seven-year-old daughter and three-year-
old boy, children of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert
Frohock. escaped death by the narrow
est margin, They were playing at the
heels of the family horse when the ami
NAL kicked them both at one stroke,
striking the children in the head. The
scalp Of the girl was lacerated for four
inches and the little boys's scaly wound
was more extended and frightfully torn.
On hasty examination it was feared
that the little ones were doomed to
death. They are believed to be out of
danger and will come through nicely
with good care. But it is almost a
miracle that their lives we're spared,
and this could only have been possible
because the horse was not shod.

sration will be regretted by many as

attention to that work The well-wishes
of many firm friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin go with them to Madison, where
they will reside in the future.
And to the succeeding partner, a
thorough and enterprising business man
and high-grade citizen, Charles Kuebler.

success, are extended.
