by Co. Commissioners

at the Kyle bridge to give warning
In case the same drift should en-
danger that bridge.
The commissioners drove to the
bridge on the Golden Belt road east
of Detroit on an inspection trip this
afternoon, when they received word
that the deepening OF the stream
had washed the dirt out around the
improvised piling which was driven
at the time of the last high water
to prevent the abuttments from be-
ing washed away.
Commissioners TO Woodbine
The county commissioners went to
woodbine and Shady Brook today
to inspect bridges and the site for
the new bridge, eight miles south OF
Woodbine.
Brush and rock will be piled in
behind the piling that is protecting
the structure on the Golden Belt

this will be sufficient protection
from all future high waters.

Manhattan, Oct. 16.-Seventeen
ooffins have been ordered from here
because of the wreck of the motor
car ON the Blue Valley branch this
uornin9 at 7:45. The car plunged
end down into n stream when
trestle gave way. Fifteen bodies
ware brought here this afternoon.
sixty-seven passengers were aboard.
n took hours to recover the pas
aengers from the wrecked car.
Randolph, Oct. 1s.-The exact
number of dead in the wreck OF the
Union Pacific motor train at the
Fancy creek bridge near here may
neyer be known. When the car
which plunged head first into the
creek was raised, the front END
dropped out, carrying into the flood
ad streams those bodies which the
rescuers had been unable to reach
All efforts to find the bodies In
the raging torrent have failed. The
number is not known, but officials
astimate that four and possibly six
uersons were drowned in addition TO
the eleven whose bodies were re-
covered.
DR.. Louis Atwood was the first
one of the dead to be identified.
In the drive into the mud and
rock at the bottom Of the stream,
where the car carrying sixty-five
passengers plunged when the bridge
abutment gave way, the front end
was demolished. In the thirty hours
that the end OF the car remained
submerged in the stream the swift
flood waters landed sand and mud
ahout It until, when the car was
lifted, the entire front end remain
Cd fast in the hole it had dug.
The stream was flowing too rap
idly for divers to examine the bot
B tom closely, but It was determined
that the hole which the fAllink CT
had gouged out In the streams bot
itom was Of a great depth and was
fast filling with mud and SAND
swept down by the current. 1t is be-
lieved by some Of those who have
investigated that the lost bodies
were buried by this mud and sand
hefore the car was raised.
Randolph, Oct. 1s.-Eleven are
uositively known to have been kill
ed in the wreck at Randolph Satur-
(. day morning. This number includes
the identified and the unidentifieo

TO BIG KANSAS CITY CHURCH

To the great scrprise of the mem
bers and his friends, the Rev.

A CHANCE TO OWN FIVE
GREAT VOLUMES OF HIS
TORY ALMOST FREE

II is customary to think
that history is dry reading.
AS a rule this IL true, but
the readers Of Josephus Nell
son Larned's great History
of the World will find 1t one
Of the few works Of the kind
that reads like a novel. This
is due to the authors won
derful clarity OF style, and
his natural genius for narra-
tive. He is one Of the few
great historians who seem to
be born for that special vo-
cation. He has told In his
history the story Of seven
thousand years of the life
of mankind, and told 1t we'll.
1t is safe to say that one
who has read his Larned
can go anywhere and hold
his own with people Of learn
ing and education. 1t Is an
enviable work and should
find its way into the library
of every reader of this paper.
