AmnOn Blekeberg Has Both Zones
Broken i'm Leg Between
Ankle and Knee.

Thursday night Ammon Blekeberg,
son of Gunder Blekeberg, living near
Ridgeway, was on his way home from
attending the celebration in Decor
ah, about twelve O'Clock at night and
was driving fractions horse. When
about half way home one of the thiils

kick, and broke away, throwing Mr..
Blekeberg out in the mixup, and he
sustained very bad break of two
small bones in two places and the
large bone in one place between the
ankle and the knee in his leg.
DR.. Dana Jewell was called and res
ponded Immediately, taking Mr..
Blekeberg to his home about six
miles from the accident, where the
doctor set the bones. 1t was a very
serious break, but the doctor was
very successful in setting the bones
and the patient is getting along nice
ly now. Saturday the doctor went
out and placed Mr.. Blekeberg's leg
in a plastered cast.

Citizens Want Protection.

The town council meets tonight
and We hope will take some action
looking toward having greater safe
grade crossing where John Ewing
guards being demanded at the Goetz
received his death injuries ard his
little son lost his arm That is an
unusually dangerous and perilous
crossing everybody must and does
concede, and those in official power
are the ones who must act in tie
matter or else be derelect in the mat
ter by Sinking plain duty they owe
the public. Not al of the blame for
accidents at grade crossings within
the incorporate limits falls on the
-ailroads, part OF It must forever rest
on the community which fails to de-
mand that these dangers be elimina-
ted entirely or such safeguards be
provided as will reduce that danger
to the minimum. The path for the
council in this matter seems clear,
and not only the people of this COM
munity but the farmers tributary as
well, will back you up in demanding
greater pre- .ection for human life at
the Goetz grade crossing.

Better Get Burns Double Dray.

Charles City is dry town as far
as open saloons are concerned but 1t
cannot be, truthfully said that no liq-
uor is consumed here. For the cor
rect impression of what is actually
going on here, you should have seen
the express wagon yesterday after
noon completely stalled on Main st.
because of an over burden of beer.
The amber colored fluid was ordered
no doubt, by parties here who tho't
to be able to celebrate the Fourth of
July in better shape because OF the
extra inspiration to patriotism which
beer is said TO give. AT any rate the
poor horse could not bulge the load
ed wagon from where the rear wheels
had settled, hence there was nothing
for the driver to do but unload the
precious and carry it TO the ex-
press office. No criticism is intend
ed here for the express company or
its agent but when some party whose
daily associates are members OF
'Spotless Town" society tells You
that Charles City is dry town in so
far as the drinking OF beer is con-
cerned, just let your mind travel
back to the day but one before the
Fourth of July, 1912, when a wagon
load of Ii was stuck on Main street.
