HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
PARTY RETURNING TO DUBUQUE
FROM ADAM MINK FUNERAL
NEAR DEATH AT DICKEYVILLE

A Dubuque taxi conveying parties
home who had attended the Adam
Mink funeral at Burton last Monday
nearly came to disaster near Dickey-
VILE In the car were, Mrs. Mink,
aged wife of the decedent, Miss Car
RE Mink, daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frentris, Of Granville, Mimi, Rev ].
w. Zeller and F. w. Brunckow, of Du
buQue, besides the driver.
On this side of Dickeyville a steep
hill nearly three-quarters of mile in
length going down to Platte, provides
one of the worst hazards for autOmOb-
lists in this vicinity. At this time Of
year the hill is rendered doubly dan
gerOus because of the icy coating that
has gathered there.
The Dubuque party reached the top
of the hill after the long ride from
Burton and planned on reaching Du-
buque before dark. On starting down
the long incline, the driver called out
that the brakes on the car were prov
ing useless to hold the heavy machine
on the slippery road. The machine
gathered fresh Roadway until it was
travelling at a dangerous pace. The
road was in bad condition at best and
with the auto jolting unevenly on the
ruts, the passengers found it impos-
sible to keep their seats. They were
tumbled about in the tonneau of the
machine helpless to aid themselves.
Near the bottom of the grade there are
several particularly bad water breaks,
or bitches across the road. The driv-
er was unable to check the speed Of
the machine and struck these bumps
with terrific force.
Luckily enough the car held the
road aside from the severe shaking
up and some bruises none was in
jured besides Mrs. Frentiss. She re-
ceived cuts about the arms and face
and has since been in the hospital at
Dubuque.

REVENUE INSPECTORS FIND
PLATTEVILLE STILL "DRY"
(Platteville Journal.)

During the past week Platteville was
visited by two special United States
revenue officers and two deputies.
They were here for several days be-
fore their identity became known
The brewery and soft drink parlors
on Second street were inspected and
thoroughly investigated. The result
was evidently satisfactory to the of
ficers, for they found nothing amiss.
This is gratifying to the citizens of
Platteville, for not citizen, no mat
ter what his personal views on pro-
hibition may be, but will agree that a
dry town should be dry. And Platte
vile is pronounced by the revenue Of
fcers to be a dry dry town.
