Runs Into Auto, Skull Fractured

Howard, 19-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace Smith of Kinnick-
innic, is in a serious condition as the
result of an accident which occurred
on the Maple street bridge about
1870 Monday evening, just after the
train pulled out. Howard, in COM
pany with a number of other young
friends, was playing on the crowded
sidewalk enroute uptown from the
depot. In the scuffie he was pushed
suddenly off the walk directly into
the path of large auto driven by
Reuben Davidson, son of Mr.. Tom
Davidson Of Oak Grove. The boy
jumped in front of the car so sud-
denly and so close up that the driver
had no chance to turn out or to stop,
and the machine knocked him down
and both the front and rear wheel
passed over his body. Davidson was
driving slowly and carefully, and he
is in no way held responsible for the
accident.
The injured boy was at once taken
to Dr. Gallup's office, and from there
to the home Of his uncle, Ezra
Smith on Third street, where he is
now being cared for. His skull was
fractured and four ribs broken. 1t
will be several days before it is
known what chance he has for recov-
cry.

Large crowds have gathered at
Ellsworth during the early sessions
of the circuit court this week, the
"chicken case" proving the star at
traction. The courtroom accommo-

Use Home Remedies
for NanY Sheep Ills

Sheep diseases should be prevent.
ed rather than cured, according to
good authorities.
Most of the ills of sheep that
trouble Wisconsin farmers may be
prevented if the proper care is TAX
en-" declares Frank Kleinheinz,
fiockmaster at the College of Agri-
culture. University of Wisconsin.
Stomach worms, tape-worms, collie,
grub in the head, bloat, and mag
gots, may all be warded off by the
careful shepherd. If the sheep do
become infected they may, in ordi-
nary cases, be treated with simple
home-mixed remedies. intelligently
used.
For stomach and tape-worms a
frequent change of pasture is the
surest preventative. If the sheep
become infected, however, a simple
remedy can be used, consisting of
five ounces of cows whole milk, one
tablespoonful of gasoline, and one
tablespoonful of raw linseed oil. This
is the proper amount for one dose
and may be repeated if necessary.
While stomach worms are usually
the worst during the late summer,
there is, however, some danger dur
ing the winter months.
"Bloat may be relieved by giving
the unfortunate sheep pint of milk
just freshly drawn from the cow.
Grub in the head may be success
fully prevented by smearlng the
noses of the sheep with pine tar, or
by mixing the pine tar in with their
allowance of common salt.
"For collie, one tablespoonful of
sweet spirits Of nitre in water will
bring relief.
For maggots both the preventive
and the cure consists in eliminating
filth from the sleeps wool and the
application of some good coal tar dip
to the filthy parts.'
