FATAL ACCIDENT
VIM. STETTLER KILLED In MAD
ISON RAILROAD YARDS.

A fatal accident occurred at the
third switch west of the station at
4:25 p. m, when VIM. Settler lost
his life. The accident occurred just
five minutes earlier than the sched-
uled time for the arrival of the west
bound passenger train. The regular
trackmen had been working in the
yards all day. Two of the men, Ole
Grandfather and VIM. Stettler, were
at work at the third switch head
while the engine of the northbound
freight did some necessary switching
preparatory to leaving the city.
William Stettler, a man about 20
years of age, was working inside the
rails at the switch when the freight
engine moved east towards the sta
ton. Mr.. Settler stepped to the
north side of the track while the en-
CINE passed. Immediately after
wards he stepped back between the
rails and resumed his work, all UNI
mindful of the fact that the engine
would reverse levers and back down
past that same switch after going
only a short distance. The tender
struck Mr.. Settler and dragged him
to the next frog west, about rs feet
ahead of the switch.
After stopping the engine it was
discovered that Mr.. Settler was most
horribly mangled and dying. A hur-

H. K. Kellogg who arrived by auto
with all possible haste. The victim
of the accident was tenderly lifted
into the car and taken to the A. G.
Hallenbeck undertaking rooms, but
death claimed him before the trans
fer began.
Mr.. SETTLERS body presented a
most mutilated appearance. The
tank wheels crossed the right leg in
two places, breaking and crushing
the large femur bone just below the
hip. Both bones of the lower right
leg were similarly severed immedi-
ately above the ankle. The p~ostsrior
section of the left limb at the base of
the thigh received an ugly wound
clear to the bone. Besides a crushed
right arm and a dislocation of the
left shoulder the victim suffered a
broken nose, a scalp cash seven or
eight inches long on the back of the
head, and numerous other cuts and
bruises.
A wife and several children sur
vive the deceased man. A question
of responsibility for the accident has
been advanced. Ole Grandfather who
was on the south side of the track at
the time, states that he had warned
Mr.. Stettler to look out for the en-
CINE and felt quite sure that the en-
CINE bell was kept ringing both as
the engine came in on the switch and
as it backed out over the switch go
ing west. Mr.. SETTLERS G with it's
concurrent dimming of eyesight and
lessening of the power of alertness
and hearing possibly figure in caus-
ing his death. This is the first death
that has occurred in the local rail-
road yards in several years.

Does 1t Play
All Records?

Or does it require you to limit your
selection to it's own make? Do you
want to own a photograph which will
keep you from hearing all your favor
ties?
Some artists sing for one record
maker, some for another.
The Brunswick plays all records,
and at their best. And it is the only
famous instrument with the Ultona,
one of the chief features of the
Brunswick Method of Reproduction.
The Ultona is a new conception, not
an attachment nor m%akeshift. 1t is a
universal player, instantly adaptable
to any make of record.
Just a turn of the hand presents
the proper diaphragm and needle.
And it is made slightly oversize so as
to develop the hitherto lost sound

What About
Tone?

In the Brunswick Am
plifier we use wood sole
ly-no metal castings, no
tin. We believe in the
violin principle.
The Brunswick Ampli-
fier is nodded of holly
wood, in a shape de-
manded by acoustic laws.
Thus tone is given ev-
cry opportunity to ex-
pand. Wood gives the
proper vibration which a
casting can not.
And so the Brunswick
Method of Reproduction,
heralded as the most adj
vanced of all, brings new
tonal values, new stand
ards.

Does The Brunswick
Cost More?

No. In spite of it's overwhelming
advantages, the price is comparable
with those lacking Brunswick ideas.
Model for model, the Brunswick has
been kept at the usual prices. Yet it
could easily command more.
This instrument is made by the
House of Brunswick, a leader for 73
years in the woodworking art. We
have long maintained a nationwide
organization, with branches and deal
ers everywhere.
And so the cost of distribution is
lessen0d. Thus we can afford to of
fer a super-phonograph at ordinary
prices.

RUSSIAN VIEW OF
 ALSACE LORRAINE

Petrograd Dec. 25.-(Correspand- ence of The Associated Press)-The Alsace-Lorraine situation from a na- tive's point of view is laid before the ] Russian public in an article published here by the Aisace delegate, George l Veil.
 q myself am a walking example of our peoples attitude" he says. am a social democrat and therefore in principle am opposed to war. Before the war 1 was one of the many Alsace-Lorraine politicians who were content to limit our national program to an autonomy within the boundaries of the German Empire. From this it must not be gathered that we had forgotten that in 1871 our right as nation to self -defini- tion had been violated by Bismark. No, we were willing to limit our de mands for the sake of peace, that was all. We know that we could be re- united to France only at the price of war and wished to avoid that" | He further explains the reason why the people of Alsace-Lorraine dc not l wish to and cannot become Germans i"Our national culture is French, not l German" he says "The Germans state that by descent, in language and in history we are Germans. This, however, is untrue, or only partly true.
 Admitted that the great majority
 of our population is a mixture of
 German and Celtic races, as Is also
 the case of good part of the popu- 1 lation of North and West France; ad-
 mitted also, that a considerable part
 of the population speaks in the Al
 sacian dialect, which is a branch o1
 the German language. Nevertheless
 our history has removed Us far from
 the German root and has made us
 French.
 During the sixteenth and seven teenth centuries we were utterly sep
 arated from Germany and took nc pant in the formation of the new Germany which was forming under l the banner of Prussia. The new Ger

 exercise greater care in turning pris- oners loose, according to an opinion given by Attorney General Arbuckle, at the request of Prosecuting Attor- ney Earle c. Casey, of Batesville. It is held that
 "Should sheriff wilfuIly discharge prisoner without his first having paid the. fine and costs adjudged against him, or secure the payment of the same, such sheriff would be liable on his bond for the fine and all costs accruing thereon.
 "When the sheriff accepts security for the fine and costs, instead of plac- ing the defendant in jail he should be careful to see that such note so ac- cepted is amply secured, as, if at the time the note is taken such security is not ample or responsible, then the sheriff and his bondsmen are liable on their bonds for the payment of the fine and costs secured thereby, if the same be not paid, unless as indicated before such note has been accept. 2, is filed with the clerk of the circuit court, and the clerk should fail to issue execution thereon before the expiration of sixty days after the ma turity of the same"
 The sheriff is therefore held res ponsible for the collection of both fine and costs; and the defendant shall be imprisoned until both fine and the costs accrued in the case are paid Whenever the sheriff accepts security he assumes responsibility for the bl1s- lection of the same.
