PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS
oNLYTWENTY- LIVE VOTES CAST
AGAINST PROPOSITION
Result of Special Election is 290 TO rs
In Favor of Issuing 100000 Sew
erage Bonds

The result of Viroqua's special cleo
ton on the sewer bond proposition
was a delightful surprise even to the
most optomistic exponent of the plan.
Only % votes were mustered against
it; 200 in favor thereof. This clears
the atmosphere and permits the couG-
ell to go ahead with all possible speed
in pushing the project. They met in
special session Thursday night, can
vassed the votes, declared the result,
and awarded the contracts.
The council also acted on one other
matter which was touched upon in last
weeks Censor, and which removes the
only vital objection TO the sewerage
proposition as originally drawn. They
voted to have all laterals dug and paid
for by general tax, taking this burden
off the shoulders of the property own
ers. We strongly commend their fair
ness in the matter and hope all our
citizens will back up the council in it's
sincere effort to bring into being those
progressive works which mean so
much to our city's welfareJ

MEETS SUDDEN DEATH
UNDER COUNTY TRUCK
CRUSHED UNDEI CAB WHEN
HEAVY MACHINE TIPS OVER
Driver Reed Dite'ies Machine When
Breaks Refuse to Work-Turner
Jumps and Dies

The community was shocked Fri
day when the news of the tragic death
of Harvey Turner passed from lip to
lip. Only that morning the young lad.
not yet eighteen years of age, had en-
tered the employ of the county and
left for his work as a passenger on
the county truck. When about two
thirds of the way down the Zogg Hill
in town of Harmony, Driver Reed dis
covered that the brakes would not hold
the heavy vehicle. He threw it into
low gear, and one after another the
gears stripped while the machine gath
cred speed down the incline. In des-
peration he turned the truck into the
bank, it tipping on its side. He stuck
to the wheel and was uninjured. Tur-
ner jumped just in time to be caught
and crushed under the heavy top.
Death was instantaneous.
The county road and bridge COM
mittee was in session at the court
house when the narrowing intelligence
was received. Engineer Reynolds
Commissioner Ristow, Chairman Do
len, Chairman Carter and District At
torney Smith Immediately drove to
the scene of the accident and brought
back the body to 0tteson's.
Funeral was held at the Christian
church Monday afternoon, an immense
throng gathering to join the grief
stricken parents in the sorrowful task
of laying away the son struck down so
ruthlessly in the pride of young man
hood. Revs. Bullock and 0sgood con-
Quoted the service. Deceased was the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Tur-
ner, who reside north of the Primmer
school house.

STORM DAMAGE IS SEVERE
TWISTING WIND AND TERRIFIC
RAIN STORM
Many Sheds and Barns Badly Damag-
ed or Observation-Disclosures Ruin
ed-Fields Washed

Saturday nights storm was marked
by the most terrific rainfall we have
had in years in so short a time. An
amazing volume of water fell and roll
ed away from the hill top to infiict
serious damage upon crops and newly
plowed and planted fields. The low
lands were covered by a sheet of mud
in many places.
Accompanying the storm was stiff
wind which assumed cyclone proper
tons in certain places.
In Brush Hollow, Joe Appleman had
his tobacco shed and garage destroyed
For the third time in three years in
the same location John Showers shed
was blown down. w. S. Morrison's
big basement barn was moved off its
foundation. On the ridge near Brush
Hollow, John Pierce's orchard was
blown to pieces and his shed moved off
its foundation. Grant Cox, on the old
Alexander farm east of town, had two
sheds moved and the fine orchard was
badly broken up.
On the southern edge Of the city.
Peter Fryseth's fine shed on the old
Gardner place, was demolished. Sew
eral Bell telephone poles also went
down and stopped telephone communi-
cation to the south. Clarence Nelson's
shed ,onthe Lee Hiles place,was damag-
ed. On the old DR. Porter place Will
DeWitt's barn was damaged, and sew
eral poplar trees were twisted off and
carried all over the farm.
Down in Wheatland town, VIM. Hay
den lost the framework Of his big 26x-
81 barn which was in process of being
built to replace the one destroyed in
also damaged.
These fragmentary sgeports probab-
/ ly represent only a small part of the
damage done. The storm condition
was general, four tornadoes develop
ing in southern Minnesota in the af-
ternoon. The Milwaukee road was
badly washed out at Wabasha, and
all trains were routed over the North

DROWNED In DRY
RUN AFTER STORM
WOMAN SWEPT AWAY IN RAG
ING FLOOD WATERS
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Best and Son At
tempt to Cross Dry Run Near
Newton

A second tragic death within two
days startled and saddened the local
ity when on the heels of one of the
heaviest rainfalls we have experienced
in years came the news that Mrs. Is
aac Best of Newton had been swept
away and drowned The unfortunate
woman had been at neighbours above
Newton assisting IN the housework
Before the storm Mr.. Best and young
son left Newton in a buggy to bring
her home, and the party attempted to
return after the rain was over. While
fording dry run, the whirling waters
swept the buggy away. With great
effort Mr.. Best saved himself and son,
even getting his wife nearly to the
bank, but in his exhausted condition
losing his hold upon her.
Search was instituted, but the body
of the unfortunate woman was not
found until Sunday morning at 8
O'Clock, almost buried in the mud a
mile and half below the place where
she met death.
Seven children, four boys and three
girls, and the husband survive to
mourn the loss of wife and mother
Funeral was held at their old home
on Brush Greek at two o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, Rev. Bullock conduct
ing the service.

Best was an aunt of Harvey Turner,
who was killed under the county truck

ONLY TWO CONTRACTS ARE LET
County Committee Finds Bids Entire
" Too High

Bids for twelve Vernon county brid-
ges were opened last Friday, and the
committee has hardly yet recovered
from the shock administered by the
high estimates. $500 per yard for
concrete work, where few years ago
it was $1,000, is a good example of the
way prices are awaiting. Only two
contracts were let-one in Hillsboro
and one in Bergen. The committee
expects to build the rest by day labor
and save many thousands Of dollars by
so doing.
From outside points, A. J. Granke,
L. Proksch and Melvin Bryhn, Bergen
town board, Chairman Frank Healy of
Hillsboro town and Chairman James
Beaver of Webster were present.
The four literary societies of the
high school enjoyed a picnic at Black
