Harrison Wentworth died Saturday
morning from the effects fliquor drank
the Thursday afternoon previous.
Young Wentworth started for the
country in company in company with
Alfred Woodward and both partook
freely from a bottle of whiskey pur-
chased by Woodard and the former
soon became intoxicated ..and unconsci-
ous, not being able to stand much
liquor. They had got out Of the buggy
and as Woodward could not get Went
worth into the buggy he came back to
town leaving Wentworth in the road
near the old Upton school house.
People residing near there notified the
sheriff who went out and brought in
Wentworth who never regained cor
sciousness before his death. Wood
ward was placed under arrest for
and was placed in Jail far
a five days sentence. In the opinion of
several attorneys, the circumstances of
Wentworth's death rendered Wood
ward technically guilty of man
slaughter, but he has been released
from Jail as no prosecution of the
charge has been commenced.

crete work will be done on it. The

north bridge at Florenceville was also
badly damaged, and the washout was

Must Drag Road. After Every Rain.

There is new road patrol law which
was passed by the recent legislature
and known as the Foster law which re-
quires boards Of supervisors to name
road patrol men to take care of the
roads within each county. The law
does not become operative, however.
until July 4th.
One of the provisions considered of
especial value is that patrolmen must
drag promptly after each rain. Under
the present law, farmers and officials
in charge of the roads will drag them
if not too busy but otherwise they are
not dragged until it is too late to be of
any benefit if they are dragged at all.
Then they are to fill up all washouts
promptly, keep the roads clear of im-
pediments, the bitches along the side
of the road clear and all creeks open in
the vicinity of the bridges. In the
matter of saving repair expense alone
it is being predicted that the road
patrolmen must inspect the roads con-
tinually 50 as to prevent any serious
washout or similar trouble.

Miss Peterson a Red Cross Booster. -

Miss Betsy Peterson, of Kendall
vile, la, has been doing a wonderful
piece of work for the benefit of the
RED CROSS. Miss Peterson started
q list around among her friends having
them donate as much as they wished
for the Red Cross. She started the
list out by donating ten dollars. She
has raised $1OS. 90 and expects more. If
this is not patriotism, we don't know
what one would call it. We hope that .
number of our good American women
will try and do their best for the Red
Cross. Everyone in or around Cresco
should highly honor Miss Peterson for
her beautiful work for Red Cross.
