YOUNG Man VICTIM
OF AUTO ACCIDENT
BURDETTE WEBER RECEIVED
MORTAL INJURIES ON PIGEON
HILL LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

Burdette Weber, one of the best
known and best liked young men in
Lancaster, met with injuries that
caused his death on Pigeon hill last
Friday evening about II O'clock Bur
dette with Gerald French driving,
Earl Small and Otto Baldwin of
Bloomington, and Claude Showalter
of Lancaster was coming north on
the road from toward the county
farm.
The car, a Buick owned by French's
father, made the first part of the $50
turn as it came down the hill, in safe
ty. As the final turn was made COM
ing toward the bridge the rear
wheels began to skid finally leaving
the macadam. The car skidded a dis
lance and then turned over several
times going clear through the fence
at the roadside where it lay on it's
side. All the boys were thrown clear
except Burdette who was pinned in
the car. The French and Small boys
lifted the car up and released the
Weber boy and went for help. Show
alter and Baldwin were bruised and
unable to arise. Help came and the
injured were taken to town the car
going to the Monitor garage.
Burdette was taken at once to the
Godfrey hospital. He lay there in
mortal agony until ten minutes after
eight o'clock Monday morning when
he passed away. His injuries were
internal the pelvic organs and bones
being crushed. The funeral will be
held today.
Burdette Weber was born in Lam
caster August "a, 1895 and had al
ways resided here except for a time
when he was in the navy. He entered
the service May "a, 1918 and served
rs member of Sousa's Naval Band
as clarionetist. He was released
from service four weeks ago last Sat
urday and came home entering his
fathers store. Burdette was a mem
Der of the K. p lodge. He was de-
servedly popular for his pleasant
personality and cheerfulness.
The injuries to the other boys were
not severe. Claude Showalter has a
sprained left knee that will keep him
belfast for some time. The Baldwin
boy was somewhat skinned up. The
French and Small boys were not
hurt.
{ A number of accidents have oc-
Cured on this hill car driven by a

ELECTION AT TERuATH
JUDGE GOODSELL LANDS PRO-
BATE OFFICE BY MAJORITY OF
513. FIGHT WAS HOT ONE.

Judge E. B. Goodsell was reelected
to the Office Of Probate Judge as an
nounced in last weeks Herald by a
majority of 513 votes. The fight de-
yeloped from a tame affair in its in
ception to one of the swiftest little
election contests ever pulled off in
Grant county. In the last few days
vigorous work was done by both
camps and up to O'Clock Tuesday
night the outcome was still in doubt
both sides claiming victory. Then
the returns from outlying bailiwicks
showed conclusively that all was ov-
er for the Taylor men and they went
home disappointed but still pleased
with their candidates magnificent
showing.
The election was peculiar in that
each candidate ran strongly in GER
tain districts and weakly in others.
Judge Goodsell carried Platteville by
majority of 189 and ran equally
we'll IN the precincts along the east
border. He loped around the north
ern part of the county with MAORI
ties in nearly every township. Fen
nimore town and village went for him
as did Marion, Mt. Ida and Wyalus-
ing. Patch Grove and BLOOMINGTON
showed a decided Goodsell predilec-
ton. The judge carried 35 out of Sc
precincts in the county.
S. H. Taylor, or Steve" carried
Lancaster city by more than two to
one. He swept every ward with
fine broom and running like scared
wolf galloped through So. Lancaster,
Ellenboro, Liberty, Waterloo, No. Ian
caster, Beetown and Little Grant. Mt.
Hope went for Taylor SO to %. Bos-
cobel was close giving Taylor nine
majority.
Any number of reasons cen al
ways be given by sage know-it-alls
for candidates victory or defeat.
The Herald believes that Judge Good
sells victory was due to the support
he received in Platteville ard ada
cent precincts where an enormous
vote was cast. The Judge had the
support of the county bar and the
pledged endorsement of the county
chairman and numerous board mem
bers. Practically all the county pap
ers supported him. He was widely
known through years of holding Of
fee whereas Mr.. Taylor was little
known outside the Immediate Lancas-
ter territory. That Steve ran so mob
ly at home is a tremendous compli-
ment to his personal popularity He
need feel no shame over the race he
made.
Things come up in campaign that
in no way reflect upon the character
or standing of the candidates. That's
the way of politics. Judge Goodsell
was reelected and that settles and
closes this sad story.

WOODMEN TO VOTE ON
INCREASED INSURANCE.

Modern Woodmen of America, the
largest fraternal body in the coun-
try, will vote on rate increase at
the last regular meeting in May. This
plan was adopted at the recent sue
cial meeting of the Head camp held
in Chicago two weeks ago. The claim
is made that heavy death losses due
to influenza makes this necessary if
the soundness of the policies is to
continue The rate increases average
fifty per cent and are based upon
Woodman experience figures. The
increases apply to members at age OF
entry.

held meeting Saturday night at the
Budworth school house ard an in
teresting meeting it was. A large
number were present and a short but
pleasing program was given and COM
munity singing INDUCED in. A num-
Der of interesting discussions took
place in reference to the various
feeds, pure bred livestock, etc.
County Agent Geo. w. Davies was
present and took part in the various
discussions and impaired some valu-
able hints on the different subjects
discussed. Mr.. Davies also explained
the work of the boys and girls clubs
bringing home the fact that all boys
and girls on farms should be given
every encouragement in farm work
and especially in the raising of pure
bred livestock.
Before adjournment it was decided
that another of those enjoyable COM
munity picnic dinners would be held
by the club this fall, the time and
place to be decided upon later. If
the Herald isn't represented at that
event it won't be our fault.

LANCASTER SALE PAVILION.

What Lancaster needs right now is
a good sale pavilion to take care of
the increasing business in pure bret
livestock. Grant county is known on
the outside as foremost stock re-
gion. In the past few years the sales
have been growing but owning to i'm
proper facilities they have been held
in tents, barns, etc.
Here is an opportunity to bring
money to the town and to put it in its
proper place as the logical point for
big purebred sales. Under our eyes
is growing up an enormous industry
why not erect good pavilion that
will pay for itself in a short time
and put the town on the map as a
livestock center? If we don't some
one else will
