Mrs. 4. II. Forrest. the new mayor.
However. we intend to serve with all
our hearts and trust that we will pro
duce results, rather than promises.
This town, like many small towns
you know our population was only J2S

ennui The women of the town through
the wOmcn's clubs have been trying To
do things for the town, and have sue
ceedcd to some extent. However, l be
lievc we will be in position to do much
more now that we have an entire corps
of city officials in entire sympathy with
these efforts.
Neither myself nor any of my associ

nation. 1t was conferred on us by those
who stand for a progressive policy, and

campaign. Get Thayer out of the jack

means clean town.
We shall try to give the city a bust

the members of the Anderson family
were living at the Wyers home. "They
left here just about an hour ago." said
Mr.. Wyers when he partly recovered
from the shock of the first word of
the tragedy. "They were going out to
the farm of brother of b:r. Anderson
and we were expecting them home
any minute" 81 saw the ambulance
going west" said young Anderson, "but
father was such careful driver that it
never occurred to me that he might
have met with an accident"
The members of the little party of
sorowing friends did not appreciate it
all until they reached the morgues
where the bodies had been taken.
Crowded Car May nave Been Cause
Many people had seen Mr.. Anderson
and the members of the party as they
drove west along the Geneva road and
several friends had spoken to them
only a short time before the fatal acct
dent. These friends suggested that the
fact that the little car was so crowded
may have been responsible for the ira
gedy as they questioned as to whether
or not Anderson could have seen the
approaching train. When the collision
came it is declared mat the crash was
heard all the way to Balm station a
long distance from the crossing. Hun
dreds of people gathered at the scene
of the accident within a few minutes
and hundreds of others went out dur
ing the evening to view the wreckage
