Dec. 8, 1911.
Fifty-seven years ago last November
Miss Ellen II. Preble was born in COM
Portable home built in clearing made by
her father in township No. Z, at the head
Of Morancy pond, some one and one half
miles from the nearest neighbor. She was
the youngest child OF George and Harriet
Martin Preble. A brother John was
drowned in Morancy pond. She is sur
vived by sister-Miss Prudence Preble.
and two brothers-Eben and Emerson.
Miss Prebie had an active mind, and
absorbed more from the country school
than was really taught. She afterward be-
came successful teacher, in her own and
neighboring villages, but never long away
from the spot where the end came sudden
ly Dec. s.
The family consisted of the two sisters
and brother Emerson, and an aged aunt
Mrs. Caroline Pettee, who had been taken
to their home, after she could no longer be
cared for in her own home. As long as all
were well, the miles to store, postoffice
and church were not minded. In the
summer of 1910, Miss Ellen took the last
drive out under the beeches and naples,
left the waters of the sparkling little lake
behind, and faced The mountains and the
ocean. The verdict that day in the physi-
clans Office was that it was the beginning
OF the end.
She went back to days and nights OF
WEAKNESS and suffering, to see the cares
which she had borne fall upon her SISTERS
shoulders and be powerless to help, ex-
cept that it was her hand which guided
and her mind which controlled. During
the months of being shut in, her CORES
pondence was large, her letters and notes
always CHEEKY and full of life. Old
friends and new came to her = from Cali
fornia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida,
Massachusetts.
Friends and former pupils went to see
her, many OF whom had never been to the
Preble home until she could no longer
meet with them, and none came away

CHRISTMAS FIRE HAZARDS

Christmas and it's joys should
not be allowed to blind men to
the ordinary rules of safety for
the protection of the home and
the lives of the family And yet
at holiday time parents who try
to keep their children free from
even the possibility of danger
will install in the heart of their
homes, where it is sure to be the
center of attraction for the little
ones, the most inflammable thing
that ever enters 1.-THE ordin-
airy evergreen Christmas tree.
While it grows more dry and
dan gerous in the warm rooms
they drape it with cotton for
snow, tissue paper loops and tin
sci for decorations, stick candles
all over it, hang up toys that
every child will grab for, and
then trust to luck and providence
for safety from a hazard that
may prove as dangerous and as
deadly as a rattlesnake or an
open key of gunpowder.
Just to play fair and take his
share of the chances pater fam
ilias often surrounds himself
with pillows, puts on cotton hair
and whiskers and makes himself
more OF a menace than a help in
case a fire should start. And
fires do start, thousands of them
every holiday season. Firemen
look forward to a run of Christ
mas fires just as they did to
Fourth of July fires before the
Sane Fourth movement put an
end to them in many places.
Why not a Sane Christmas as
we'll as a Sane Fourth? Why
should the children's festival be
made the means Of destroying
hundred of lives and thousands
of homes? Use little electric
lights instead of candles, asbes-
tos instead of cotton, non-com-
bustible decorations instead of
infiammables, and then watch
the tree with the utmost care,
especially when the children are =
around it. It's better to be safe
than sorry, especially with the
little ones at Christmas time.

go without Christmas presents.
Three other women were arrested on
charges of shoplifting during the
eve, and young woman bookkeeper
was robbed of $25 which she said

Accident in a Fill.

The accident occurred in fill be-
tween two small hills. It is said that
the car was going at a good rate Of
speed. The rain of Saturday night
and the frost in the ground made the
road slippery SO that once out of the
beaten track the driver practically
lost control. Rauscher was in the
front seat with the driver and the
two badly injured ones were in the
rear seat with Marie. It is said that
the car turned completely over twice
and some think three times before it
landed right side up in the ditch.
=. Emelia Scherberg is a student in
the Blackjack High school and Z
member of the senior class. She is
said to be an unusually bright girl
and was expected to be valedictorian
Of her class: The parents of the
Sherbergs live in the town of Summit

Landed Right Side Up In Ditch
Crushing Miss Emelia Sherberg
and Brother Charles.
YOUNG MAN MAY NOT LIVE
Physicians Say He Is Holding His
Own But Chances For Recovery
Are Not Good.

Five persons were injured, one so,
severely that for time it was fear
ed he would not live, in an auto
wreck in Blackjack Sunday. The
party was in 4,400 pound REQ car
which went into the ditch on tho.
Blackjack village-Blackduck Lake
road while trying to speed up for 4
small hill.
The injured were: y
Charles Sherberg, aged twenty
five, crushed through the chest and
not expected to live.
Emelia Sherberg, aged nineteen,
crushed in the pelvic region.
Marie Sherberg, aged seventeen,
strained back.
Fred sherberg, aged fifteen, driv-
er of the car, practically unhurt.
John Bauscher, aged about twenty,
five, crushed in the chest.
The young people left Blackjack
with Fred Sherberg at the wheel.
When about half way to the lake the,
car skidded to the right when being
speeded up to make a small hill.
The driver threw his wheel over to
the left and the car answered but be-
fore he could stralghten them into
the road, one of the wheels snapped
off and the car turned over twice
landing in the ditch on the left of
the road right side up. 1t is said
that the steering gear was so loose
that the wheel had to make nearly a
full revolution before catching the
axle.
Girl Is Thrown Out.
When the car first skidded, Miss
Emelia was thrown out but when the
car finally stopped she was found
pinned beneath with the car across
her abdomen. Charles lay to one
side of the road barely conscious and
Rauscher was on the ground with Z
crushed chest Fred and his sister
Marie tried to lift the car off Emeli&
and were able to lift 1t far enough
for her to be rolled out. This lift
ing strained Marie's back and in 4
few minutes she was lying in the
road screaming in agony.
The injured people were taken into
the village by persons who heard the
screams and medical attendance was
given them at once. At noon today
the doctors in charge reported that
Charles Sherberg was ohlding hts
own but that he was not yet out Of
danger It appears that Miss Eme-
liza is injured more than was thought
at first and she may be disabled for
life Marie will recover as soon aa
the strain on her back muscles is
overcome.
