B. Ragatz Of North Freedom was in
Baraboo and says there was mis-
understanding when his car and a
machine driven by Alexander Smith
collided at the ellison slough bridge
west of Baraboo few days ago. The
bridge is too narrow for cars to pass
easily and as Mr.. Smith approached
from the east the driver Of the North
Freedom car thought the approaching
machine would stop where there was
plenty of room When it was too

realized he could not pass in safetr
and tried to stop his car. The roads
were icy and a collision resulted. Mr.
Ragatz says it will require several
hundred dollars to pay the repairs on
