Auto and Buggy Collide.

The VIM. Arnold car driven by Ell
mer Arnold and a single rig driven
by Jack Staver collided Sunday
evening in the neighborhood of the
Perry livery barn and both vehicles
were somewhat injured. Mr.. Arnold
was driving his car east along Di-
vision street about ten o'clock and
saw Mr.. Staver riding along in front
of him. Suddenly the buggy turned
to go into the hitching lot opposite
the barn and was caught by the
car. One buggy wheel was pretty
badly demolished and the wind
shield of the car broken as result
of the accident. Mr.. Staver knew
the car was behind him but thought
that he had plenty Of room to turn
while Mr.. Arnold had no idea but
that the rig was going straight on
down Division street and did not
have time to stop his car before the
collision. However, the car was no,
going fast enough to cause any ser
ious injury and none of the occu.
pants of either rig suffered anything
more than a slight nervous shock.

AUGUST THE CHAU-
TAUQUA MONTH
One Week Of Entertainment from
18th to Final Commit
tees Appointed.

The board of directors of thu
/ Webster City Chautauqua Associa
! ton met last Saturday evening il
the Office of the president, O. J. Hen
derson, and discussed plans for tht
coming chautauqua and chose the
committees to make the final ar.
rangements.
| A change has been made in the
| dates for chautauqua this year an6
those planning their summer vaca,
tions should remember that August
is the great month to be at home
this year instead of July. The first
entertainment will be given Aug
ust 18th and the last on the oath,
giving us one full week of delight
full and uplifting concerts, lectures
and plays. The Ben Greet Players
are the greatest single attraction of
the week and few cities of this size
will have the honor of visit from
these noted artists this summer. No
one in this vicinity should fail to
see them.
The program is now completed
with the exception Of very few
numbers and a committee consisting
of G.. D. Thompson, j. L. Peterson
and C. H. Kamphoefner was ap-
pointed to report suitable numbers
for these vacancies.
F. A. Huddlestun and G. D.
Thompson were appointed to look
after the matter Of tents and seat
ing and Dan H. Bauman and Mrs.
Elston F. King made the advertis-
Ing committee. Mrs. w. j. Zitterell,
F. A. HuddIestun and w. B. Rood
will take charge of the ticket sales
and S. X. Virtue and G.. D. Thomp-
son are to look after the grounds,
etc.
The board are beginning opera
tions early this year and desire the
cooperation Of every citizen who is
patron OF the chautauqua m0ve-
ment to give them their loyal sup
port and talk the Webster City
chautauqua to their friends within
and without the city. The program
Is somewhat higher priced than the
one given last year and varied
enough to meet the tastes of the
many different kinds of people
found in every community. Plan to
be here from August 17th to Gath
and take in the features of the pro-
gram that appeal to you.

RUNAWAY HORSES
HIT AUTOMOBILE
One Horse Killed, Other sustains
Broken Leg-Wm. stearns
Auto Damaged.

One Of the worst accidents of the
season occurred Saturday evening in
the neighborhood of the w. o. Nc
Connell farm south of the city
when the team belonging to Carl
Adams ran away and attempted to
run over the automobile driven by
Will Stearns which happened to be
in their path. !,
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Adams and lit
tie four your old daughter, Esther,
had started to town in single
buggy. The team became frighten-
ed at something in the road and
started to run. The bolt holding the
single tree came loose and the
horses were freed from the buggy.
Mr.. Adams still clung to the lines
and was dragged some distance un-
til finding that he could not stop
the team he let go and saved him
self from further injury. His wife
and child remained in the buggy
and were uninjured. The team, af-
ter freeing themselves from the rig,
continued on their way and upon
turning the corner south near the
Mcconnell farm came face to face
with the Will Stearns car which was
coming north. Besides Mr.. Stearns,
Selmer Adams and Mr.. Hanna
were in the car. The frightened
horses made straight for them and
fairly straddled the car in their at
tempt to get over 1t. One horse was
killed outright and the other sus-
tained broken leg and will prob
ably have to be shot.
Mr.. Stearns was badly cut with
glass from the broken windshield
and otherwise bruised, as were 9th
er occupants of the car, but none OF
them sustained any serious injury.
The car Of course was badly dam
aged and was hauled to town for
repairs. The radiator, tenders and
wyindshield were smashed consider
ABLY but the running gear still In
working order. Mr.. Carl Adams is
suffering considerably with pains in
the chest caused from injuries re-
ceived while being dragged by the
horses, but 1t is thought that they
are not at all serious. Considering
the nature and circumstances of the
accident, it seems almost a miracle
that everyone escaped alive.

of much musical ability, played a
difficult program from memory and
with an unaffected self-possession
and ease which is common only
among pianists of longer experience
in recital work. Her playing Is
characterized by its cleanness and
musical feeling. 1t would be difficult
to say which numbers are deserving
of especial mention as all were play
ed exceptionally well.
Miss Smith was ably assisted by
Mr.. Francis Cowles of this city who
possesses a baritone voice of beau
tiful quality. Mr.. Cowles is young
artist of ability, whose singing Is
remarkable for the ease and freedom
of voice production, and his inter-
pretations are always of a high or
der. His singing Arm, Arm, Ye
Brave" from Handel's oratorio,
Judas Maccabaeus," is deserving Of
comment.
AS accompanist, Mrs. A. E. Bull
lock played with artistic finish. She
possesses that rare gift which is. a
requisite of good accompanying,
that of putting herself in sympathy
with the singer.
The interest and appreciation Of
u. b # O. . #
the audience was shown by the en-
thusiastic applause which followed
each number. Miss Smith was call
ed back after the closing number to
repeat the Chaminade Caprice and

A VERY FRIGHT
full EXPERIENCE
Little Son Of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Adams Bitten by Bull Snake
While Playing in Yard.

The eighteen months old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Adams, who live
six or seven miles south of town
was playing out in the yard Fri
day when the mother heard his cries.
Going out she found blood ozing
from a slight wound on the little
ones lower lip and within two feet
Of the child was coiled up on the
ground a large spotted bull snake
which had bitten the child. The lit.
tie one was at once brought to the
office of DR.. Buxton and he and DR.
Hannah treated the wound antisep.
tically and also gave internal rem.
edies.
This incident was certainly a
frightful experience, especially tc
the mother. DR.. Buxton says bull
snakes seem to be more plentiful this
season than in the past. He has
heard of one or two other incidents
where children have come near be-
ing bitten by these snakes while al
play in their own yards.

Thought Well was Dry.

Visitors to the flowing we'll on
Bank street the latter part of last
week were filled with CONSERVATION
to find no stream of cool fresh min
eral water flowing from the usual
fount and feared that the artesian
we'll had at last, as so often pre-
dicted, gone dry. But great was
their Joy when they discovered that
the trouble was not with the well
but in bursted pipe, some distance
from the Bank street outlet
through which the water was es-
Gaping. The pipe has since been
fixed and water is flowing freely
again at the Bank street fountain.
