In the passing of Mr.. L. j. Martin
at La Crosse hospital last Saturday
morning, the ranks of viroqua business
men are dismembered; vacancy brought
to desolate and afflicted home. Mr..
Martin was taken critically i'll ten days
before the end came from acute Bright's
disease and pneumonia. He was re-
moved to La Crosse hospital two days
later, and his condition was so alarm
ing that no permanent help was pos
sible, and the end came Saturday morn
ing. That evening all members of his
family left with the remains for his
boyhood home at Tiffin, Ohio, and where
the relatives of both husband and wife
reside. Mrs Martin and her daugh-
ters, Mrs. Whitney Nichols and Mrs.
Leslie Slack, have the sincere sympathy
of neighbors and frie ads.
Mr.. Martin engaged in hardware
trade in this city fourteen years ago in
company with Mr.. G. j Kuebler, and
the firm continued till year since,
when he retired and engaged in the
grocery business. He was an enter
prising merchant and good citizen and
his early demise at So is to be deplored.

CHAPTER OF BAD ACCIDENTS
Hand Blown off With Dynamite Caps
Lose Fingers in Sausage Cntter

A number of distressingly painful &C
cidents are reported from different sec
tons of the county, the worst being the
loss of hand by Mary, fourteen.vea
old daughter of S. H. Morrison Of Viola,
and granddaughter of Burns Morrison
of this community, the accident occur
ring at Viola last Wednesday. 1t is the
story that the unfortunate girl and
Gertrude Dowel were a mile east of
Viola picking flowers and gathering
water cress, and out of curiosity en-
tared an old building, unoccupied, where
they found some caps used in exploding
dynamite. Each girl took few in her
hand. Mary Morrison probed one of
her caps with hair pin, causing it to
explode. 1t tore her hand wretchedly,
necessitating amputation at the wrist
1t is one of the most distressing occur
rences the CENSOR has felt called upon
to print. and there is universal sym
patty for the father and sisters of the
injured young woman. @s
Mrs. r. A. Angel was badly burned
about her back and arms while burning
rubbish in her door yard at De Soto.
She is woman seventy-four years old,
and it is feared that her painful and
severe injuries may prove fatal.
In the north section of the town of
Hillsboro, Jacob Deitzman was severity
injured by coming in contact with a saw
while working in mill on his farm.
The Sentry states that the man got his
left arm onto the saw, receiving a wound
that extends from wrist to elbow.
The De Soto Argus tells of two pain
full ACCIDENTS happening in western YER
non on recent days. Fred Herring of
Genoa town, brought the blade of an
axe upon his forehead, caused by an
overhead clothes line. While the wound
is extremely painful il is not danger
Gus. John Welch of De Soto, was the
second victim, one of his legs coming
in contact with revolving saw blade,
tearing flesh and laying bare cords and
bone in one limb.
The Readstown Tribune reports a
most distressing and painful accident
occurred at Ed. Larson's meat market
in which Robbie Ward, aged Is, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jonathan Ward, lost all
the fingers of his right hand. While
feeding the meat cutter he endeavored
to make the machine feed faster by
pressing down. His fingers were caught
by the auger and before the machine
could be stopped his fingers were cut
off so that amputation at the knuckle
joint was necessary.

ASPIRE TT Z SERVICE
Three Ca Iidates for Republican
MOI nation Under the Primary
Z SERVICE

Gradually aspirants for places in the
county service and would-be nominees Of
the republican party are coming to the
surface. Two candidates for sheriff and
one for district attorney have, within
the past week. confidea TO their friends
that they will stand as candidates be-
fore the September primaries.
Michael Brody was in the city from
Clinton on Monday and stated to his
friends that he had determined to enter
the field as a republican aspirant for
the nomination of sheriff. Mr.. Brody
has many firm friends throughout the
county by reason of having for thirteen
consecutive years been a member of
the county board. He was born on the
farm where he still resides and which
be tills. He is man in the prime of
life and activity.
Under Sheriff Andrew HOMELAND, the
well-known auctioneer announces his
candidacy for sheriff, rot formally, but
that his friends may know of his in
tentions. Mr.. How LAND is a native of
Norway. coming tc this country thirty
years ago. locating on farm in the
town OF Jefferson, where he las sir =
resided. He was town clerk for seven
straight years, served as assessor and
member of the town board He has
been Sheriff Roots principal assistant
during his administration.
Mr.. George w. McKibbin, the gentle
man who recently located IL this city
for the practice of his profession, an
nounces his disire and intention to be-
come candidate for the nomination for
district attorney. The CENSOR can
speak with little knowledge concerning
Mr.. McKibbin. That he will do at an
opportune time and in the proper way.
City Treasurer Amund Belland, who
was re-chosen at the recent election by
a unanimous vote of his fellow citizens,
is making plans for his campaign for
the higher honor of county treasurer, a
position he is admirably well fitted to
administer. Viroqua has certainly never
had more competent, accommodating
and accurate custodian of her funds
than the present treasurer. If chosen
he will render the whole county a like
acceptable service.
