THREE LIVES JEoPARDIZED.
Miraculous Escape from Death at Rail-
road Crossing in This City.

MIR. Loui Hittersdorf, young farmer
and married. came via auto from his
farm, near Hollandale, on Monday eve
ming of this week for a load of ground
feed. Because of the busy haying time
he did not leave home until around S
O'Clock. He was accompanied by a
young man named Roy Lovelace. who
works for him. They arrived in this
city in due time and loaded up with
what they came for at GRADER 4 Thies
feed supply establishment.
About 1890 they headed for home.
To get out of town it was absolutely
necessary to cross the railroad tracks at
the depot Arriving there they did not
observe the engine on the far track
and approaching to where they had to
cross. and they kept agoing. Result, a
collision. The engine struck the auto
slightly to the rear of center. Both
occupants of the auto were unceremo-
niously hurled out, young Lovelace
through the windshield. and as re-
suit his face and head were more or less
severely cut Hettersdorf sustained
badly battered shoulder and size. The
auto was pretty well demolished, parts
of it and the several hundred pounds of
feed were carried along and scattered
by the engine for sixty or more feet.
1t so CHANGED that a brakeman was,
we are told, more seriously injured
through this collision than either of the
occupants of the auto. The brakeman's
name is Edwards and his home is in
Belmont. He was riding on the cow
catcher and got struck in such way as
to receive very painful if not serious
injury to hip and thigh. After being
treated by Dr. Brown he was taken to
his home that night.
1t is regarded by all as a miracle
that not lire was squashed out.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1920-07-22
COMPLAIN OF POOR SERVICE.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette has put on
campaign Of complaint of the railroad
service from that city and other places
in the Unity of GAINESVILLE. A few
days ago business men of Mineral Point
were interviewed and the results print
ed in an issue of the Gazette.
The complaint is of belated. poor
trains with motive power in bad repair.
All the complaints have some founda-
ton and we agree with the Gazette
that the service of passenger trains is
far from ideal and if they took up the
matter of freight service there would
be very general agreement that there
is no such thing as Service.
But the condition is not peculiar to
GAINESVILLE alone, or to the line in par
ticular leading from there to Mineral
Point, which we hold to be strikingly
bad and Of disadvantage to all towns be
tween the two points Poor service is
the rule not the exception. Not only
is the kind of service complained of
confined to one system or to few sys-
tens. 1t is the universal rule.
While we congratulate the Gazette
on the campaign it is putting on, we
have no faith that conditions will be
improved until the whole transportation
business of the country is reorganized,
put on paying basis and general and
extensive improvements made.

DANGERl THREE OF A KIND.


put two gallons of gasoline and two
ounces of solvite soap in wash boiler

the manufacturers of solvite. a gasoline

"Put three quarts OF gasoline in a

In the morning wash mop in gasoline

Cleaning of gloves or fabrics in gaso'

THURSDAY MAY 81, 1920

It comes with bad grace from Mr.
Taft to criticise President Wilson for
his frmness in standing against multi
fying reservations of the Versailles
treaty bv the senate. Mr. Taft when
President had his own experience with
Senatorial mutilation of treaties, and
it is not on record that he accepted the
mutilation with any better grace than
President Wilson does. The war on the
Versailles treaty in the Senate has been
purely partisan, inspired by the desire
of Republicans to discredit a Demo
cratic President. In Mr.. Tafts admin
istration circumstances were somewhat
different. Mr. Taft had Republican ma
iorilies to deal with in both branches
of Congress, and yet he found it diff
cult to get along, He quarreled not
only with the Republican Senate but
with the Republican House Of Repre-
scntatiycs, and at one time posted a.
notice that members VINO ana not sup
port his policies could get no fayors
from the White House.
Mr. Taft sent two arbitration treat
les TO the Senate They were good
treaties and should have been ratified
as they we're. But the Senate pro-
cecded to hamsiring them by leaving
arbitration just where it was before
open to any nation that did not prefer
to fight. Mr. Taft did not accept the
bellcose amendments Of his Republic
can friends. lie .gcon-holed the treat
les, and they are sill in their pigeon
holes Why then should he call his sue
ccssor obstinate for following his exam
pie?
