BREAKS ARM WHILE
LOADING CALF IN WAGON

Frank Duvall, residing ON his
farm nine miles southeast of town
had his right aim broken Monday
morning while trying to load u
yourg calf into a farm wagon 1t
was bright, cold crispy morning
and the calf was full OF life and
vigor 50 when Mr.. Duyall at
tempted to put the calf into the
wagon he found that he had
tackled a mans job. In some way
or other the calf got him cornered
with the above result. The task
was abandoned and Mr.. DuNall
came to town to- have the fracture
reduced and placed in a cast. 1t
will be several weeks before the
mending process has developed to
the point that the arm viii be
strong enough to do any work. 1t
is to be hoped that the wound
will heal properly and that no I'LL
effects will result from the injury.

REFUSED Resignation

Hon. H. j Mantz, who has served
the city OF Audubon in the capac-
dty of mayor during the past three
years, presented his resignation to
the city council at meeting last
week Mr.. Mantz was elected to
the legislature at the general cleo
ton November 7th. This will nee
essitate his being absent practical
ly three months, and not wishing
to interfere with the progress of
city government, deemed it advisa-
BILE to resign as mayor. The council
men would not take the same
view as Mr.. Man.z held and unan-
imously refused to entertain or
accept the resignation. II
Mr.. Mantz has made a splendid
official and under his admiinistra-
ton, with the ass stance of a wide
awake council, has put Audubon on
the map as one of the really
live county seat towns of the
state. The council wants the good
work continued and would, mot
countenance the withdrawal of his
services and advice. So the honor
able HAL" will continue to hold
his position until his term of office
expires. The council is to be con-
graduated for taking this import ant
