FATAL COLLISION

A light automobile driven by Emil
Spevacek struck motorcycle driven
by Sterling Kunz on the Shoto road at
the Muth farm about a mile from the
city Sunday evening resulting in in
juries to Mr. Kunz, from which he died
at the Holy Family hospital Monday
evening without regaining conscious
ness
Spevacek was going north with some
companions and Kunz was coming to
the city with Frank Schaff in a side
car. There are conflicting stories of
how the vehicles came together, COM
ment upon which can well be reserved
as District Attorney Brady has deemed
that the matter should be gone into at
coroner's inquest which he has au-
thorized. Clarence Timm, in the Spe-
vacek car, suffered fractured arm
and Ray Timm was cut about the face.
The others, including the occupant of
the wrecked side car, were unhurt =
Physicians attending are reported to
have said that Mr.. Kunz sustained a
fracture at the base of the skull and a
broken spine. He was the proprietor
of a motorcycle business on Buffalo
street and has made a distinct success
of it. He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Kunz, North Sixth street. He
was attached to the motorcycle convoy
of the army with headquarters at Paris
for nearly year.
Besides his parents he is survived by
three brothers, Lester, Franklin and
Paul. He was 22 years of age and
native of this city. The young man
was not only keen, successful busi-
ness man but popular with wide cir
Gle of friends and his sudden death
brought sorrow to the entire com
munity.

BASE BALL

We predicted last week that the local
baseball season was over for 1919. 1t
wasn't. We aren't sure now that it is.
A transforming bunch of the Mil
waukee association came up Sunday
and played the local champions and
beat them, Alto 2. There was good
crowd out and it was good game. Aside
from the first inning it was an even
thing The visitors won the game in
the first inning on a succession of err
rors.
Crutcher pitched great bali for the
locals and should have won. The great
stars Mollewitg and Hap Felsch did not
appear as advertised to the expressed
disappointment of the fans.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

On Thursday of last week, the horse
of Rev. Father Mahoney of Maple
Grove, became frightened and also un-
manageable, throwing him out and
slightly injuring him. The buggy was
somewhat smashed by the occurrence,
but the horse did not receive any pun
ishment for his misconduct, and was
soon restored to its owner. Father
Mahoney was picked up by some hos
pitable friend and cared for until able
to proceed on his journey.

Washington. An interesting com

Savings stamps In Great Britain and
America Is made by the savings diyt-
sion ~ the United States treasury.
England had been selling War Say.
tngs certificates for more than year
before this attractive form of invest
ment was offered to the people Of the
United States, This country has had
the advantage of the Britens expert.
cncc la this field. and while the two
savings stamps are alike III most re-
spects, there are Il few interesting diff
fcrenees,
The british War Savings stamp Is
dnted when purchased and Is due ex.
aetiS hyr years from that date. This
enables them to sell the certificates al
why's for the. same las. Gd (S2.S3).
The American War Savings stamps
are issued Ia annual series. aud each
series has 4 uniform date of issuance
and OF maturity. The present rate is
