entire new equipment of boxes has

be necessary to stay around the office
in order to get mail before the office
is closed as has been the rule hereto

Frank La Brash, former resident Of
Trimbelle, died at New Richmond last

Narrow Escape
In Runaway

A team belonging to Albert Dahl
quist of Troy INDUCED in frenzied
runaway Friday afternoon in the To-
cal freight yards. Mr.. Dahlquist was
thrown out of the wagon onto the rails
and was seriously injured about the
head and his body bruised. He was
unconscious for several hours, but is
now reported as well on the way to re-
covery. He is still at the City Hospi-
tai, where he was taken immediately
after the accident. No bones were
broken.
The team became frightened at the
freight train and made dash from
the EQUITY potato elevator east ac-
ross the tracks and then north up
through the freight yards and onto
the railway trestle bridge. There one
horse stumbled and fell, breaking two
legs and pulled the other horse down
with it. The other horse escaped with
minor injuries and was able to walk
from the scene of the spill.
Mr.. Dahlquist was thrown from the
wagon when the team turned sudden
ly north after crossing the tracks on
Pine street.
There was considerable difficulty in
getting the horses back off the trestle,
especially the bay horse, which had
stepped through and broken its legs.
A call was sent in for Chief of Police
II. A. Hutchins and his permission
was secured to have the horse sho..
The passenger train was delayed
about an hour while the horses were
being taken off the trestla.

COACH CHANDELIERS SUCCESSOR

Followers. of athletics at the Nor
NAL school will be glad to learn that
a successor to w. S. Chandler, recent
ly resigned Physical Training Direct
or, will soon be appointed. Mr.. Chand
ler's record as basketball coach, will
be hard to duplicate. His teams made
UNUSUALLY successful records, winning
the state championship in 1920, and
the northern championIip in 1921. 1t
is with great regret that the public
learned of his resignation to accept
the position of basketball coach at
Ames Agricultural College, Iowa.
A number of good men are being
considered for the position left open
by Mr.. Chambers resignation and an
appointment will be made, we are told
in the near future.
Among those being considered are
the following: Geo. E. Cooper, col
lege coach with six years successful
experience as football and basketball
coach, with experience as a player
under Coach Zuppke of Illinois. H..
T.. McCurdy Of Chicago who was a
star athlete with the Michigan Ag-
gies for two seasons, winning letters
in football, basketball, track and
swimming IN the seasons of 1912 and
1913. Mr.. McCurdy has coached for
the past FIVE years two Of which were
recently at Platteville Normal where
he turned out the most successful
teams in the history of that school.
Otto Eggebrecht Considered
The name of Otto Eggebrecht, for
mer River Falls star, has been men
toned in connection with the vacancy.
Mr.. Eggebrecht distinguished himself
in the Wisconsin, Chicago football
game last fall, being rated as the most
brilliant Wisconsin player on the field
and largely responsible for Wiscon-
sins victory. Eggebrecht is well
versed in the Wisconsin system Of
basketball.
Irving E. Brown of Kansas City,
Mo-, is highly recommended candi-
date. He is graduate of the Spring
field lMass.) Physical Training school
and has coached teams in the South
west for the past several years.
Mr.. Fl. Il Hayward will act as head
coach for the football team for the
coming season, which assures another
River Falls team of championship
caliber.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from every
where. She hears all the gossip, she
hears all the news; she knows who is
happy and who has the blues; she
knows all the sorrows, she knows all
our joys, she knows every girl who IS
chasing the boys. She knows of our
trouble, she knows of our strife; she
knows every man who talks mean to
his wife. She knows every time we are
cut with the boys; she hears all the ex-
cuses each fellow employs. She knows
every woman who has dark past, she
knows every man who is inclined to
be fast. There is great secret meath
each saucy curl, of that quiet, demure
looking telephone girl. If the tele-
phone girl told all that she knows it
would turn all our friends into bitter
est foes. She could start small wind
that would soon be a gale, engulf us
in trouble and land us in Jail. She
could let go story, which gaining in
force, would cause half our wives to
apply for divorce. She could get all
cur churches mixed up in fight and
turn our days into sorrowful nights.
In fact she could keep the whole town
in a stew if she'd tell tenth part of
the things that she knew. Oh, broth
Ell, now doesn't it make your head
whirl, when you think what you owe
to the Telephone Girl - Exchange.
