AUTO TIPS OVER.
Narrow Escape from Serious Acct
dent i'm Bad Place i'm Road.

Sunday evening as the children of
Ole Linde of Ridgeway, the car be-
Ing driven by his son, ayoung man,
were coming to DEBORAH in their new
Ford automobile, they met with an
accident which resulted very fortu-
nately, in that none of them were
seriously injured. At the foot of the
Thomas hill, west of the city, there
was a culvert which was washed
out a year or more ago, and ever
since it has been neglected by the
road officials, being left in a danger
Gus condition. Persons using the
road have been compelled to drive
to one side and through the ditch
formerly covered by the culvert. Mr.
Linde, coming down the hill, saw the
bad place in the road and turned up
on the side of the hill in an attempt
to miss it, but turned too far, and
the auto tipped over, throwing the
occupants into the ditch below. Had
it not been for the soft mad and the
deep ditch they might have been SER
iously injured, but fortunately were
not, although their clothing was
damaged TO quite an extent. The top,
windshield and tenders of the ear
were badly crushed. o. w. .Bauder
went out and helped them TO right
the car and bring it to town.
Mr.. Ole Linde, father Of the young
people in the care, came here Mon
day, determined to ascertain who is
liable for the neglect TO fix the road
at this place, and see what could be
done about the matter.

CaImar Not Coming.

A game of ball was scheduled for
the fair grounds this afternoon be-
tween Calmar and DEBORAH, but yes
terday Calmar advised Manager Shea
that their team would appear. The
reason is not quite clear, but it is
reported that there is dissention
among the players, and their inabil-
ity to get the Hruska brothers OF
Rochester. Manager Shea had bills
out and the game advertised in good
shape, and it is nice reception that
Calmar hands out. We feel that
Calmar should show themselves tC
be game, and come and carry out
their agreement.
