NEARLY KILLED

GACKLE, Jan. 22.-Christ Knoll
had narrow escape from death while
at the elevator 1t seems that Diff
ferent parties had called for feed corn
and Christ proceeded to supply them
but upon starting the elevator only a
portion of the corn passed through
the shoot and Mr.. Knoll went to find
the trouble. He jumped into the bin
upon a pyramid of frozen corn, the
center of which had gone through the
shoot, and as result fell into the
open space, thereby breaking the
corn loose and burying him. The
parties waiting for the corn, after dis
covered that Christ was buried, called
for Simon Bieber at the nearby ele-
vator who soon got the victim from
under the corn. Christ was damned
a little and has been laid up since
but is fortunate in not having any
serious injuries. 1t was very for
tunate that some one was there when
the accident happened or he would
have met a terrible death.

FIRST ORGANIZED
TOWNSHIP Effected
FOR logan COUNTY

NAPOLEON, Jan. 22.-Today will
occur the first meeting Of the voters
OF Logan county's first civil township
organization, when it's first officers
will be elected to hold until the reg
ular election provided by law, takes
place the coming March. The meet
ing was held at the school house on
sec. 22-135-73, known as the Kroeber
school house.
The name of the township is the
most appropriate one that could be
selected as it is named in honor OF
John G. Kroeber, who has been
continuous resident on the above
described section for more than a
quarter of a century last past and
in one of Logan county's few first
settlers who still remain here.
In looking up the figures of val
llation We find that the newly born
civil township has more than $11O,.
900 worth of assessable property,
while the property of the township
in which Napoleon is located only
reaches $4,000.
