THERE'S A GIRL IN OUR TOWN

y
Who is a well known coed and
whose engagement was understood as
long ago as her high school days when
friends said it would last. But now
that the Interested man is away pre-
pairing to defend his country his fra
ternity pin is no longer a hindrance
to present pleasures, for it also has
disappeared Where2 Is the question,
on College Hill. But, speaking of fra
ternity pins: Almost every sorority pin
has a companion piece in the shape
of one of the college fraternity pins
and some few bear Greek letters as yet
unrepresented on College HHl. In
many very interesting cases of which
we dare not speak there is another
evidence more convicting than the tell
tale pin.

BODY NOT
YET FOUND

In spite of the fact that constant
patrol of the Wisconsin River, the
little body of Jack Matthews has not
yet been recovered. He was drowned
on Monday, May 18th, and it is gen
orally calculated that the body should
rise within a period of nine days.
That time was up Wednesday May
22nd. The entire community is
overly anxious that the body be recov
cred and everybody that has any time
should turn out and assist in the
search. More dynamite should be used
from the point of drowning, clear
down to the Northwestern bridge.
This should be done, and the patroling
of the river should continue clear down
to the South Side mill.

ENGINEER LOSES HIS
LIFE WHILE AT HIS POST
What Might Have Proven Serious Wreck was
Averted by Engineer Geis Remaining at
His Post of Duty

shown by the engineer staying at his
post, putting on the air and thereby
sacrificing his life to save others. Sew
eral cars on the freight train and their
contents were badly damaged by the
contact. The loss will reach many
thousands dollars for the company
Peter Hollenshead was conductor on
the passenger train. After the ac-
cident happened the freight engine
coupled on to the rear end of the pas
senger train and relieved the tender
SO that the body of the engineer could
be released and it was taken with the
coaches back to New Lisbon and thence
to his home at Tomah where his family
resides.
In the death of VIM. Gleis the G..
NJ. & st. Paul Railroad Co., loses
one their oldest and best engineers
in the service He has been in their
employ thirty-fve years and proved
his worth by his last act, that of suf-
fering death that others might be
saved. When he saw the danger he
was in, he could have jumped from
his engine like Mr. Blomquist, the
fireman, but no he stayed at his post
and put on the air and died at his
post. He leaves wife and four chill
dren to mourn his sudden taking off,
one of his sons is serving his country
in France. Mr.. Gleis was man a.
bout 55 years of age and highly
thought of by his employers and the
employees along the Valley division
of the st. Paul road

Opening MEETING
RED CROSS
DRIVE FINE

The capacity of the Amusement Hall
was tested last Saturday evening AT
s o'clock when Major Ferguson, an
invalided Canadian officer, told his ex-
perience in the present war with Ger
many. He spoke very interestingly of
the conditions that confront the allied
armies in France. His individual ex-
perience and that of thousands gives
the people here at home an idea of
what a soldier goes thru and must
endure His address was greatly en-
joyed and what he said will have an
influence upon those who heard HIM
to contribute funds to the Red Cross.
Rev. G. NJ. Thurow, pastor of the west
side Lutheran Church, gave a splend-
i'd address on "One Hundred Per Cent
Americanism." This Red Cross meet
ing was a great success in every way.
The allotment for Grand Rapids will
certainly be raised as it was hereto
fore.

From the best information obtain
able at this writing we understand
that the freight train going east and
south on the C. NJ. & st. Paul Railroad
early Tuesday morning May 21st,
left Babcock on time for the Sprague
siding about ten miles east of Bah
cock, where they were to pass the
early passenger train going north at
about 4:30 A. NJ Freight train No
72 going towards New Lisbon, was
made up of 50 freight cars, 43 of
which were loaded and 10 empties
The engineer on the freight train was
a little late in making the siding on
account Of air trouble. About II of
the freight cars had entered the Spra-
que siding when the passenger train
engineer on the freight engine whistled
a danger signal when the engineer on
the passenger train Immediately ap-
piled the air and stayed at his post,
while the fireman jumped out of the
cab to save himself. The passenger
engine struck a car loaded with sash
and doors with such force that the
coal tender was crowded onto the en-
gine cab, killing the engineer immedi-
ately and fastening the body between
the engine and tender, and the mail
car was badly crowded and destroyed
by crashing in the rear end of the ten
der. The passengers all realized that
a wreck had happened and were badly
shaken up but nobody injured. This
was due to the excellent judgment
