MAKES CHANGES
RELATING TO
MEMBERSHIP

At the last annual winter meeting
of the Sank County Country Life as
ISOLATION, very important change
was made in the constitution relating
to membership in the association. Be.
fore the change was adopted Article
of the constitution read: Any ru-
raj society in Sank county may be-
come a member of this association on
application to the secretary and the
payment of annual dues Of one dollar
for each club or society. Zach So
ciety shall be represented in this as
sociation by one delegate for each
ten members or major part thereof.
These delegates with the officers shaM
constitute the association.
Experience has shown that there
are many persons so situated thai
clubs cannot be organized in their re-
spective neighborhOods, and yet they
desire to affiliate with us. Many ru-
raj residents have moved to the towns
and villages, still keeping an active
interest in rural affairs. 1t was deem
ed desirable to adopt a revision per.
hitting individual as well as delegate
membership. Article 3 now becomes
section of Article 8, and is preceded
by sections l and 2 as follows:
Section /. The membership Of this
association shall consist Of individual
membership and club membership.
Section g. Any persons who feel in
terested in the country life movement
may become an individual member on
application to the secretary and pay
ment of annual dues of Is cents.
Article was changed to read as
follows: The officers shall be elected
by ballot and must be either individ-
ual members, or of some society which
is a part of the association.
These changes broaden the sphere
of usefulness of the association, and
make possible the cooperation of
many persons who could not become
members under the former arrange
ment.

Edward Courtier, teamster for the
city of Reedsburg, and brother-in-
law of Mrs. VIM. H. Atom of this city,
met almost instant death about 4:3O
o'clock Saturday afternoon. He was
loading cinders into wagon near the
power house when the fire alarm was
sounded, and the horses started to
run. Mr.. Courtier grabbed the lines,
but before he could jump onto the
wagon the horses got beyong his con-
troll and threw him to the ground,
dragging him some distance, and in
some way his body got under the
wagon the horses got beyond his con-
head, fracturing the skull. He died
before medical aid could be reached,
never regaining consciousness.
The deceased had been driver Of
one of the city teams for about a year
and a half, and previous to that time
had been in the employ Of S. A. Col
Inns for many years as teamster for
the marble works. MIR. Courtier
leaves wife and four children, two
daughters, Hattie of Chicago and Mrs.
Flora Du Bots of Elroy, and two sons,
Glen and Clyde.
After the accident the horses con-
tinued to run until the engine house
was reached, when they were stopped.
The fire was in the rear of Harper's
cafe and was caused by a gasoline ex-
plosion, but was extinguished by the
use of chemicals without much loss
The news of the accident came as a
great shock to Mrs. W. H. Atom, who
Of late has had more than her share
of trouble to bear. Mr. and Mrs. Atom
went Saturday evening to Reedsburg
after hearing the sad news. Funeral
services will be held tomorrow after
noon at 800 o'clock at Reedsburg.

STOPS HORSES
IN RUNAWAY
(From Tuesdays daily.)

The wild dash of a runaway team
about O'Clock last evening was
brought to a spectacular finish when
Dewey Armbruster jumped onto the
rear of the wagon, climbed over the
seat and out onto the whiff1e-tree
grabbed the lines and pulled the
horses to a standstill. The runaways
were stopped near the Deppe- Carpen-
ter lumber yard after young Armbrus-
ter had tugged at the lines from near
the wooden mill where he first leaped
into the vehicle. The horses were
hitched to a lumber wagon, and mar
rowly missed colliding with one of
the Platt ice carts, the latter being
saved from collision on the bridge,
where the teams would have met, by
the quick work of the driver Of the
ice wagon in drawing to one side at
the end of the bridge.
The runaway team started in the
eastern part Of the city and were

knocked down by the animals and in

hand, knee and back were badly
bruised. The horses continued down

employees from the wooden mill,

Of RAIN
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

F. c.. Peck of this city has received
a copy of a Faulkton, S. D., paper,
which tells of the fine rains that have
been falling in that locality. There
are a number of former BaraboO and
Sank county residents who now own
farms in South Dakota whose crops
have been greatly benefited by the
refreshing rains. There are also a
number of Baraboo citizens who own
land near Faulkton, among them being
David Hackett, G. A Carpenter, George
Hoadley, Frank Cowles, Fisher Bros.
and r. c.. Peck. The article in the
Faulkton Advocate reads as follows:
"A fine rain visited this section
early Sunday morning and did world
of good for the growing crops. An
other shower Tuesday evening, while
not heavy, lowered the temperature
several degrees, and improved condi-
tons generally. According to the gov
eminent gauge the rainfall amounted
to over an inch, which was sufficient
to soak the ground for several inches
This insures a good small grain crop
as the rain came in time to finish fill
ing the heads. Rye, early barley and
oats had already matured, but wheat
and other late grain was in need of
moisture.
"The weather during the past two
weeks was generally exceptionally IA
vorable for the corn crop, which has
made rapid progress and has attained
its customary growth for this period
of the growing season. The vast
amount of water in the ground from
the heavy rains of June, materially
aided corn in making such a rapid
growth, and the outlook for an i'm
mense crop this year in Faux county
is better than it was at this time a
year ago.
"The first cutting of alfalfa has
been completed and it yielded we'll.
With more moisture two more cut
tings can be made which will mean
money in the pockets of our farmers
from this crop alone. Pasturage is
good and the hay crop will be one Of
the heaviest ever produced.
Taking it as whole this years
crop will be one of the largest ever
harvested in Faux county"
