Lucky Escape.

A thrilling exhibition for a movie
was staged on Division street, Mon
day morning. Herman Rade Jr. was
in town and on starting for home
his black team became frightened
near the B. G. Garage, and ran to
this street where they turned west
and crossed Railroad street and end
ed their mad career at the Morgan
barn. At the outset the rein hitch
refused to work properly SO that Her
man was unable to get in direct COM
munication with the bride bits. To
keep them going straight and avoid
collision with other rigs, and several
light poles along the route demon
strated Herman's ability to qualify
as Rough Rider whenever he wants
to enlist. Quite number OF Divis-
ion street deniZens who witnessed the
spectacle breathed much freer when
no fatality resulted.

among the out of town shoppers here
Wednesday. MIR. Higgins and broth
er, John f. Higgins also of Chicago,
about two years ago became the own
ers of the n. A. Colman farm at
Clearwater Lake. On account of the
difficulty Of securing efficient farm
help Mr.. Higgins will take up a perma-
nent residence on the farm and as
sumo it's management. Two motives
actnated him in doing so. First to
remove through the application of
modern business methods, some of
the unduly large overhead expense
connected to it's operation heretofore.
And secondly, through it's health re-
storing properties, ward off any phys
ical ailments which might follow in
the wake of long and strenuous
metropolitan business career.

Accidental Death Of Five
year old Lawrence Elliott.

An unusually sad accident occurred
Saturday when Lawrence, the five
year old adopted son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Elliott, lost his life at the Adj
ans farm north of town.
Mr.. Elliott who is employed for the
season by his brother-in-laW, VIM.
Adams had the child with him OW-
ing to the condition of his wife who
has been an invalid for the past year.
About 4:3O p. M, Mr.. Elliott and Mr..
Adams, at work some distance from
the house heard cries of distress from
that quarter, and Immediately start
ed to investigate. Not a trace was
to be found of the boy, though Mr..
Adams mother had noticed him only
short time before having called him
within view for that purpose, but on
account of deafness had heard no
cries. The two searched the place
without result, phOned for Chas. and
Ernie Adams who went out and the
quest continued until o'clock when
Ernie Adams, in passing it as all had
numerous times, raised up an over
turned chicken crate, and was hOr-
rifed on discovering the body under
meath. The crate had lain there
through the winter just few inches
from the ground, and the child I'M
'doubtedly crawled under after cat
or chicken, and getting entangled in
the wire netting cover, became too
frightened to withdraw backward and
out. DR.. Thorpe was called and gave
the cause of death as due to fright.
The funeral was from the Elliott
home on the north side, Tuesday af-
ternoon, Rev. Waters officiating.
The bereayed parents have the Sympa-
thy Of many friends in their loss OF a
bright factor in their lives, and one
that had much to do with their hap
piness since the helpless illness OF
Mrs. Elliott first began.
A four year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor Salmi who reside mile east
of town, died Monday after an illness
Of several months. Funeral services
