MAN HURT BY
FAST DRIVING
NEGRO DRIVES BUGGY AGAINST
A MAN AT SEVENTH STREET
AND SQUARE.

There was case of reckless driv-
ing on the street Saturday night by a
negro named Jones. At the crossing
of Seventh street and the square be-
tween Z and o'clock he struck man
named Shaw and he was knocked fif-
teen or twenty feet and marvelously
escaped serious injury. The man
got up and others who saw the acct
dent called to the negro to stop, but
he only drove the faster out Seventh
street. His identity was later estab-
lished and he was to have hearing
in the city court today
At the time Mr.. Shaw was struck
there were number of others on the
crossing who narrowly escaped being
hurt, and while the driving was not
at an excessive speed, it was the in
difference to the safety of passers on
the crossing that made the act of the
negro an offense.
There is entirely too much of this
character of driving in the city at
night, and unless it is stopped pref
ty soon there will be serious results.
Reckless driving, and the indiffer-
ence to the safety of those on foot
should be looked into more closely
and an example made of some of the
Indifferent ones.

FTOHl saturdays lazy.
Shortly before eight o'clock Tues
day evening, during the terrific rain
storm, lightning struck the big barn
on the A. H., Bulls farm, two miles
and a half east of Winnebago, and
the barn, a structure 44x117, was
burned to the ground, says The Win
nebago Enterprise.
Within minute after the bolt
from above flashed down onto the
barn, flames burst out from all over
the building, and it was impossible
to save it. The flames mounted to
a great height, and were so plainly
visible in Winnebago that a fire
alarm was turned in, as it was
thought that there was a blaze in
the east part of town.
Seventy tons of hay were stored
in the barn, and this highly infiam-
mable material was veritable food
for the hungry flames. A new
binder, and lot of other machinery,
was stored in the structure, and was
destroyed. Loss on the machinery
was fully $500, with no insurance.
The barn, worth in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 to $4,000, was fully
insured.
Fortunately, no livestock was
burned but one stack of wheat went
the way of the barn, as also did a
large granary, which was insured.
The horse barn stood within fifteen
feet of the barn, but was not de,
stroyed, thanks to the efficient work
of the neighbors who rallied quickly
and assisted Mr.. Bulls in every way
possible to fight the flames.

Excess of resources
over liabilities. $3.50, ass. "a
'"The increase in the overdraft in
the current fund was due to the
fact that the board has been linn
tied by it's charter to six mill
tax levy for this fund, which has
been too small for several years.
To make up for this deficit, the
board has been levying for the spe-
cial fund an amount as much more
than has been needed for that fund
as the current fund has been short.
In the next tax levy this unusual
condition can be largely corrected
by levying nine mills for current
expenses, as now permitted by law,
and nothing for special purposes.
Il would suggest that $4,000 a
year be levied for the sinking fund
hereafter, to take up the high school
bonds as they become due. If this
were to be left for the state auditor
to do, the method followed in that
case would be burdensome ON the
tax payers, for two years hence he
would make levy in one year of

The epidemic of hog cholera
which is ravaging droves in Min
nesota and adjoining states will re-
suit in higher prices for pork and
hog products, according to DR.. s. H.
Ward of the state livestock sani-
tary board. He estimates that there
will be a loss of 100000 to Min
nesota farmers from the disease,
and sees no immediate prospect of
hating the scourge, as the supply
of serum has run short.
Veterinary inspectors have inocu-
lated about 5000 hogs, while not
less than 10000 would have to be
treated to make the campaign ef
fective.
Spread of the disease is attrib-
uted by DR.. Ward to settlers from
Iowa and Illinois bringing in dis
eased hogs, and to the prolonged
spell of hot weather.
