CAR PLUNGED
OVER EMBANKMENT

Dean Roe narrowly escaped death
last Friday in an auto accident
which almost completely ruined his
automobile, a Buick touring car.
Mr.. Roe was driving west, and
when about three hundred yards
this side of the big bridge near the
Adolph Sorensen farm, he UNDER
took to pass team which he was
about to meet on the bridge. In so
doing, the car hit soft dirt and skid
ded.
High weeds along the roadside
obscured the view of the embank-
ment, which he was too near to es-
cape. The car plunged twenty
two feet to landing, then eight
feet and lit on the cement floor of
the culvert and against one wing.
1t required the work of tractor
four hours, with the assistance of
eleven men to eXtricate the car,
which is almost complete wreck.
Dean escaped with sprained
ankle and mashed nose, which
convinces us that his work on this
earth is not yet finished.

tinual light rainfall on plot of
ground about 20 feet square in a
mans garden in West Virginia.

Some days he has as many as 600

ing for Sometime

George Paige was born in Dallas
County, Iowa, June 10th, lS49,
being the first male white person
born in Dallas county.
He has resided in Audubon County
fifty-siX years and therefore was one
OF the best known men in this vicin-

ed in marriage to Miss Susan Her.
rington, and lived happy continu-
Gus life with the bride of his youth,
for over fifty years, celebrating their
Golden Wedding Anniversary four
months ago. What fine picture
such a happy union presents in con-
trast to the frivolous and sinful,
customs of indiscriminate divorcing.
About sixteen years ago MIR. and
Mrs. Paige moved from their farm
III Greeley township to Extra, where
they have made their home ever
since.

operation until hemorrage of the
bowels developed, which caused his
death.
On this side Of eternity remain
to mourn the loss of this highly re-
spected citizen, his faithful wife, and
two children, Harry of Spokane,
Washington and Mrs. Q. A. Ander-
son Of Arion, Iowa. Harry spent a
couple of weeks with his father
during his last illness and returned
to Washington only a few days be-
fore his death. There are also two
adopted children, William Paige of
Cromwell, Iowa and Mrs. Rose
Sandburg of Los Angeles, California
besides nineteen grandchildren and
three great grandchildren
