LADY KILLED
On CROSSING

From g. postal card received this
morning from Bernice Lester, who
in company with her mother and MI
catherine Reichel gave the account
of their train on the G. NJ, & st.
Paul railroad while going south on
Wednesday afternoon near Maus ION,
striking an automobile, in which
Mrs. Franklyn WilcoS Of Etmc nwier
a small town near Mansion was XII
ed Instantly and Mrs X. H. Davis
IS seriously injured. Chas. Davis
a son Of Mrs. Davis and soh-'nlaw
of Mrs. Wilcox was driving the Car
was uninjured.
Miss Lester says that it is re-
markable that anyone escaped as
the automobile looked more like
pile of kindlmlg wood than a car af-
ter the train struck it. 1t appears
hat Automobile engine was killed as
h hey got onto the track, and that
is what brought about the accident
The train was delayed one hour and
everyone who witnessed the accident
were greatly saddened thereby, 1t
vas a. close call for all of the occu-
pants Of the car.

CLEAN Up AND
PAINT Up

Is the Clean Up spirit tagging?
we hope no.. Our city is more beau
C1ful at the present time than it has
ever been before ill its history. We
nave been a resident OF Grand Rap
Ius 80 years and We are safe in
saying that the resident properties,
parks, streets and public grounds
are more attractive Today thahh ever
before in her history. The ward com
nittees who have been stimulating a
desre on the part OF every prop
erty owner to beautify and decorate
their homes and grounds have had a
wonderful favorable effect. A great
deal has been dome and still more

would take care of every such street

sack fences could be removed, with
great improvement to the adjoining
properties. An example of this can
be seen on Baker street between

that are useless on any premises.

that u eviyne attauIly struck out p

The fielding of both teams was sen
sationaI at times, the Rapids doing
the better work. Only vwo errors
were chalked up against the Rapids
men.

some pretty raw decisions. He came

A STEP IN The

Mayor Cohen, President Morning
ton of the Merchants and Manufac-

w. ltood of the Automobile club
have called a joint or mass meeting
f the citizens and members of the
auto Club and Merchants Associa-
tion for the purpose of devising
ways and means of improving the
Dads leading into this city. The ter
ritory to cover a radius of five miles
This meeting is called for Thurs
day evening at 7:30 o'clock at the
Elks Club.
This is the first time that a unit
ed effort has been made to do
something to improve the roads lead
ing iIao the city and it is step
in the right direction. 1t is hoped
chat great good win come from it,
as nothing will induce the farmers
to come into the city to trade more
than good roads. The farmer will
go a Jew extra miles if he can go
over good roads, to do his trading.
Not only will it bringadditi0naI tU-
siness from the farmers, but it will
bring a lot of transient trade from
automobile touring parties. With
good roads leading into the city
tourists will be more inclined to
leave the Yellowstone trail and take
in the beauties of Grand Rapids.
Push the good work along.
