AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
MIR. AND MRS. o. o. SETTEN IN
JURED LAST EVENING.

AS Olaf o. Soften and his wife
were cutting diagonally across Egan
avenue towards the Dacotah Oil fill
ing station between $3.50 and 10
O'Clock last evening, they were run
down by an auto, driven by two
reckless youths, and are now con-
fined to their beds suffering from
cuts, bruises, dislocations and bro
ken bones.
Mr.. and Mrs. Soften had spent the
evening with Oscar Granflatten and
family and were returning home
when the accident occurred. These
people had reached the center
of Egan avenue when a car contain
ing two young fellows whipped along
northward on the east side of the
street. They we're exceeding the
speed limit and gave no signal as to
whether they intended going on
north or were going to round the
central guide post and proceed either
west or, back south. Not knowing
their intentions and in the sudden
confusion Of mind, Mr.. and Mrs. Set
ten were suddenly caught on a quick
short curve, Knocked down and drag
ged several feet before n help ar
rived. Mr.. Setten's new overcoat
was badly torn, a heel was ripped
from n of his shoes, his face, head
and body sustained bad cuts and
bruises and his left shoulder was dis
located. Mrs. Setten's injuries PROV
ed even worse. Her left ankle was
badly shattered and she sustained a
broken left wrist. When found Mr..
Soften vas buckled up under the car
in a crouching position and in fright
full agony.
Immediately after the incident
several persons arrived on the scene
and gathered up the injured people,
who are well along in years and not
able to bear such rude shocks, and
took them to their home at the court
house.
Mr.. Soften is %janitor at the court
house, and in telling of the fearful
experience he and his wife passed
through one could easily discern that
he was suffering intensely.
Whoever the miscreants were
neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Soften knew at
the time for they made a quick get
away, but today the identity of both
has been established and arrests will
soon follow.
Both Mr.. Soften and his wife are
confined to their beds and are con-
vulsed with pain and suffering.
Surely these people who are well
known and highly respected have the
sympathy Of the entire community.
An example should be made of the
perpetrators of such a deed. There
is far too much reckless auto driving
in Madison.

MADISON NORMAL
WILL OPEN FOR REGULAR SEES.
SIONS TOMORROW
MORNING.

Miss Alice Lorraine DAILY was an
arrival from st. Paul early today.
During the time of closing of the To-
cal Normal Miss DAILY has been visit
ing with her parents.
Tomorrow morning the Normal
school will reopen for regular ses-
sions after being closed for a period
of several weeks because of the pos
sibility of the breaking out of the ep-
Identical diseases of influenza and
pneumonia among the student body.
The wisdom of closing the school was
quite apparent and now that the ban
has been lifted the many students are
returning to take up their regular
work. Those in charge, as well as
the students themselves deplore the
interruption to their studies, but are
willing to apply themselves all the
more arduously to complete their
years work in something like the
regular time. 1t is not likely that to-
morrow mornings chapel exercises
will find all of the enrolled students
present. Barring any further inter-
ruption, the Normal work will soon
be going along smoothly with all, or
nearly all, the students in their re-
spective classes.
Mrs. Anna May Brady returned
from Aberdeen this morning to take
up the work of her department at the
Normal. Since the ban was placed
on schools and public gatherings Mrs.
Brady has been spending part of her
time with friends in different parts
of Iowa.
Miss Ina Boyer, one of the teach
ers at the Normal, arrived in the city
today from Lake Benton, Mimi,

Miss Loretta McElmurry, who has
been at Bookings during the closing
of the Normal, returned to Madison

Missing German Returned.

This Office last week received a
lengthy communication from the Sun
ny Side Company in regard to the Ger
mans who are informed on their planta-
ton, in which they report the return
of Edward Wagner, (the man who was
reported in this paper two weeks ago
as missing) and severely criticise The
Dermott News, Mr.. Warfield and 9th
ers connected with the publicity given
the incident.
Az regards the article published in
this paper, and We may say the same
for Mr.. Hammock whom We quoted in
the article, there was no disposition in
anyway to criticise the managers of
the Sunny Side plantation, or to ques-
ton the fact that they were carrying
out government instructions. How
ever. there are . great many people,
whose patriotism is beyond question
and who are recognized ~ men of good
judgment, who feel that it is risk. and

Dog Killing Time

Attention is called to the order issued
by the City Council that all dogs must
have license tags and must be either
substantially muzzled or securely con-
fined Otherwise they will be killed.
This order is rendered imperative by
what is believed to be a prevalence of
rabies. The small son of Arthur Nc
Dermott was bitten several times Sat
urday BY dog supposed to be thus af
fected. The dog was killed and the
head sent to Little Rock for examina-
ton. While it did not prove to be q
genuine case of rabies. it certainly
establishes the wisdom of the city
council in taking steps to prevent a
repetition of the occurrence.
