HORSE WANDERs ON TRACK
Driver Had Allowed It to .'Cover the
Route While He Went Into Houses
Along the Way-Animal Instantly
Killed and Wagon Demolished.

The unprotected grade crossings of
the Chicago and North -Western road
brought death to another horse this
morning when a horse attached to one
of the milk wagons of Adolph Larsen
of Charles street, proprietor of the
Crescent Dairy, was ground to pieces
under the engine of southbound pas
senger train just before half past six
o clock. The wagon was demolished
and the engine went out of Kenosha
whitewashed with Kenosha county
milk. Fortunately the driver Of the
wagon was not in it when the collision
with the fast train occurred.
The wagon was in charge of Chris
Hansen, an employee of the company
and he was busy delivering milk on
Sheridan Road at the time the horse
wandered on the track and met death.
Hansen had trained the horse to fol
low the route and he had taken several
bottles of milk and had left them at
places along the route. At the time
the horse got on the track Hansen was
several hundred feet from the track.
The train which struck the horse and
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-01-06

wagon had pulled out of the local sta
ton at 500 and 1t was probably rum
ming forty miles an hour by the time
the Collins street crossing was reached.
The engineer did not see the horse as
it was SO dark and rainy that it was
impossible for him to see any extended
distance ahead of the engine.
The body Of the dead horse was car
ried ninety feet along the tracks and
hurled into the ditch at the side and
the demolished wagon was carried
along the track for more than humid
red and fifty feet. The track was
smeared with milk and cream from the
contents Of the wagon. Young Han
sen reached the scene Of the accident
a minute after it had happened.

WILL HOLD HEARING LATER
Engineer Potts of Commission Comes to
This Section and Spends Day Study
ing Crossings Which Have Brought
Fatalities During Past Few Years.

The Strengthening out of the horse
shoe curve on the north stretch of the
Sheridan Road, as proposed by the
Racine Commercial club and the Ke-
nosha Automobile club, has been in
dorsed by the railroad commission
Of Wisconsin, before which body a
hearing will soon be held.
Assistant Engineer F. A. Potts, of
the railroad commission, was in Ra-
cine yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of looking over the curve. He
was taken to the place by Secretary
Reed, of the Commercial club of that
city, and thoroughly inspected the
present roadway and the proposed
changes in it.
The curve crosses the Chicago and
North Western tracks at an acute an
gle at two places about three-fourths
Of mile apart. The north crossing
forms what is known as johnson IS
crossing and it was at this point that
William Hansen, rural mail carrier,
was killed shortly before Christmas.
Several other fatal accidents have oc-
Cured at this place. The other cross
ing, equally as dangerous and as
prolific of fatalities, is known as the
County Line crossing.
The promoters of the road changes
wish to do away with these two cross
ings This can be done by straighten-
ing the roadway. There is a stretch
of land wide enough for road purposes
between the Chicago and North
Western tracks and the M. R. and K.
Electric tracks. BY changing the road
bed to this stretch the M. r. and K.
line would be east of the road and the
North Western line west Of it.
The owners of the property have
offered to sell it to the town of Mt.
Pleasant for FIVE hundred dollars an
acre, although land in that district
known as he best truck garden sec
ton in Wisconsin, sells for three times
that price. A petition is now being
circulated, calling upon the town board
to condemn the land for road
purposes.
According to the plan of the Com
mercial club, the horseshoe curve
will not be done away with, but can
be used by the residents just the same
as at present, but it will not be desig-
mated as part of the Sheridan Road
and no money will be spent upon it
to lay concrete pavement as is being
done all along the drive. Signs will be
put up on both ends of it directing
traffic to take the new roadway.
Assistant Engineer Potts went over
the matter thoroughly. He was much
pleased with the proposed new road
way, saying that it would be safe to
traffic, would do away with the two
dangerous crossings, and was the best
solution of problem which had
been considered by the railroad com
mission for some time
Mr.. Potts will make report to
the commission upon his return to
Madison.

BEET GROWERS MEET FRIDAY.
Kenosha and Racine County Growers
to Hold Conference at Corliss
to Decide on Plans.

The members of the Racine Kenosha
County Sugar Beet Growers associa-
ton will gather at Corliss on next
Friday afternoon to talk over plans for
the year. 1t is expected that the
agents of the various sugar companies
will be on hand to address the com
pany and that plans for the coming
year win be made. Few Of the beet
growers Of the two counties have made
contracts for the new year as yet. A
few contracts have been made at a
price of six dollars ton, but the grow
ers are hopeful that this price will be
increased after the conference. 1t is
expected that very large acreage in
the two counties will be given over to
the growing Of sugar beets next season.

HUDSON NOW SUPREME

This patented motor gives to Hudson the top in Motordom. No who knows can dispute it. With great difference, it is bound to supersede the best other types in existence.
 That is why we stopped production on the former Hudson at the zenith of our success. That car-the Six-4O-had won new empire for us. It had quad rupled our sales in two years But we quit it when the Super-Sx proved nearly twice better. And we lost about 5000 sales as consequence.
 Then we doubled our factory at a cost of $1, ,5OO,- OOO Then we bought materials for $42, ,OOOO OOO worth of these new cars this season. For all the de- mand for the Super Six must be supplied by Hudson.
 Any fine car buyer who knows the facts is bound to choose the Super-SM. No other car at any price can match it in performance. And the best Six built in former types is hardly one-half efficient
 The facts will also win thousands from lower priced cars to the Hudson Ire difference in value so far exceeds the difference in price that any see it. And the saving in fuel in tires and in the motor, will wipe out the extra cost.
 Consider excessive strains of that Speedway test A motor which stood them is impervious to ordinary service strains, and capable of any requirement.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-16
80 PER CENT MORE POWER

The Super-Six is not mere refinement. It em- bodies basic invention And it so excels all pre- vous creations that it makes of this epoch making car
 The best former Sizes in this size developed at maximum AZ horsepower. The Super-Six develops 76 horsepower. That means increase of 80 per cent.
 In high motor speed capacity, the Super-Six ex- cels the best former Sizes by 50 per cent.
 Note those immense advances in the features most desired Then note we attain them without adding size The Super-Sx, in cylinder size is identical with the Hudson Six-4O. We do not forfeit light ness or economy. And we do not add more cylin- ders with their extra complications.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-16

Mark what those records mean
 No other stock car in history has equaed that per- formance No other like-size motor has ever devel- oped such power.
 The Super-Six has proved itself the greatest en- zine ever built It has almost doubled the efficiency of Sizes. It has outrivaled Fights and Tweves, and ended every reason for those extra cylinders.
 Ithas brought to the Hudson unquestoned suprem- acy. All must now concede it the sovereign car. For this marvel motor is Hudson patent, found in Hudson cars alone.

quiet so free from vibration, that it can revolve at marvellous speed. And at highest speed pencil stood on end on the engine doesn't topple over.
 Thus we attain with small motor 76 horsepower "a power that was never reached before, save with motors big and heavy
 We have attained the pinnacle at which engi- neers have aimed. It was to save vibration that they built the Six Then to save more, they built the Light Six with small bore The next step was Vtype Fights and Twelves- designed to still further reduce the vibration.
 Now all those types, in this chief respect, have been far outrivaled by the Super-Six.
 All that was sought for in Fights and Twelves- lack of vibration smoothly flowing power-is far better attained in the SuperSX. The result is vast saving in tires, in engine wear and fuel.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-16
HOW 76 HORSEPOWER

But how" you ask do you get this 7o horse power, and what does it mean?" for hills. It means ability to creep high gear. to pick up with record quickness, to avoid changing gears
 That extra power comes through lack of vibration. That means long-lived motor. It means bird-like
 motion at any speed. The Super-SK is so quiet that the car seems to move by magic. It means economy of fuel.
 And that extra power-that added 80 per cent -comes without adding cylinders or size. You don't want motor about half as efficient when same size motor performs like the Super-Six
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-16

Vibration is lost effort, which means nefficency. By wiping it out we have gained super-eficency.
