Buried Him Alive.

That the danger of being buried
alive is a very real one is proved by
some amazing cases cited by that emf
nent French physician, DIR. Thoinot, re-
Gently. The most striking story he re-
lated was the case of General Ornana.
who was struck by bullet during a
retreat from Moscow and was thought
to be dead. Prince Eugene ordered
Commandant Tascher. his aid-de-camp,
to have the general buried in the snow.
This was carried out, but General Or
nana's aid-de-camp expressed the de-
sire to take back the body to France.
1t was dug out of the snow and placed
ON a cart. when shortly afterward the
general revived. He returned to France
and was present at the funeral Of Tas-
cher. the man who had buried him alive.

that Mr.. and Mrs. William w. Blithers

JEWELL THANKFUL
TO MRS. STRONG
Woman has Done Much for the Town
Buys More Land to be Used
for Public Purposes.

Jewell Record: Although the Boy
Scout local committee succeeded in
raising only the $40 required to
purchase the one acre tract of ground
west of the park from H. K. Gron-
bech that is required for the use of
the Scouts, the town of Jewell is
not going to lose the balance of tina:
tract of ground after all. Mrs. c. A.
Strong, who was the one to start the
Boy Scout building proposition and
who has given one thousand dollars
towards the building conditional up
on the people Of Jewell giving the
money for the purchase of the land,
has now decided to give the addition
al money necessary to buy the bal
ance of the ground. The publisher
of the Record, after some prelimin-
airy correspondence with her, receiv-
ed telegram from Mrs. Strong Sun
day instructing him to issue her
check for fifty dollars to Mr.. Gron-
bech to apply on the tract of land,
and stating that she would forward
a draft for the balance as soon as
the deed and abstract of title are
ready. Mr.. ,Gronbech has now sold
for public purposes all Of his rand
west from the town park, the entire
width of the park north and south.
The town of Jewell first bought the
tract west to Decker St. for park
purposes, about three acres of land.
The town has this land on contract
and will get deed within short
time. Mr.. Gronbech gives the land
sixty feet wide for the extension
south of Decker street, as far south
as the south line. of the park and ex-
tending along what will now be the
west line of the park.
There. remained approximately
three acres of land extending west
from this extension of Decker street,
and Of this tract the Boy Scouts
have bought the east one-third.
They will erect building and equip
it with gymnasium equipment, etc.
Citizens of Jewell and vicinity con-
tributed the $40 required to buy
the ground, Mrs. Strong gave one
thousand dollars towards the build
ing and has promised more if need
ed.
