Meeting Of The Commercial Club

At the regular meeting of the Audi
bon Commercial Club last Monday
night the matter of lighting the town,
and especially Broadway was discussed
at length. A large majority of the
members are in favor of installing the
electroliers. but it was practically the
unanimous opinion of those present,
that cluster of five lights, as suggested
by the Republican, be used instead of
the cluster of three lights as first an
nounced. The city has agreed to fur
nish the electric current if the posts
would be purchased by the Club or by
individuals. 1t is to be hoped that
definite action will be taken so that
the lighting system can be installed be-
fore the long winter months come on.
The Club took no definite steps in
regard to the matter, but it will take
some form or other at another meeting
soon to be held by the Club.

Two Injured In Auto Wreck

Two women we've quite seriously in
jured and the driver badly bruised last
Sunday night when an automobile
driven by j. p. Schouboe went over an
embankment and landed in the bottom
of the creek right side up. Mr.. Schou-
Doe had with him in his car, his wife
and Miss Clarice Oelke, county recorder.
They had been out for little pleasure
ride and were returning to town when
the accident happened. Dust was so
thick in the road that when team and
an automobile met Mr.. Schouboe near
the new cement bridge two miles north
of town he could not see where he was
driving and thinking that he was max.
ing the small curve, he dashed straight
ahead, missing the bridge, the car turn
ing over and over until it reached the
bottom of the creek. Miss Oelke was
first to be taken out and it was found
she had two ribs broken. Mrs. Schou-
Doe was badly bruised but no bones
were broken. Mr.. Schouboe escaped
with few scratches. A car happened
along shortly after the injured persons
had been taken from the creek. They
were at once taken to their homes where
physicians attended to their injuries
How they escaped with their lives is a
miracle. The automobile was not
damaged 10 any great extent.
