A VERY MYSTERIOUS CASE
MAN CLAIMS HE WAS RUN OVER
BY PASSING CAR
Says Driver Deliberately Ran Him
Down-Doctor Finds No Marks
on His Body

On Sunday afternoon passing auto
mobilists found a man lying uncOn-
scious on the road south of town.
Near him at the side of the road was
his car, and tools scattered about
showed he had been working on the
same. DR.. Chas. Trowbridge was
hastily summoned The man would
regain consciousness and then slip
back. In his lucid periods, the by
ISLANDERS gathered that he was Frank
Deaker, an ex-service man who was
thrown from motorcycle in France
and injured about the head. He was
formerly employed at Riehland Center,
now at Fry's garage at Viola. He
said he had stripped his gears; was
working on the same; hailed a passing
car for help and the driver said ITO
hi with YOU, and deliberately drove
over him. The doctor gave him a
careful examination and failed to find
a single scratch on bis body. He was
taken TO town, and suffered several
unconscious spells that night and the
next day. The docta- thinks it case
of major hysteria noe to injuries Fe=
ceived during the war; although he
failed to find any scars which would
surely accompany such injury as he
claims he sustained in the war. 1t is
rather a mysterious case

JITNEY CoLLIDEs wITHTRAcT0R
Southeastern Derailed Last Thursday
No One Injured

As Thursday afternoons Southeast
ern June Bug approached the crossing
at the foot of Main Street, one of the
county workers driving a caterpiller
tractor drove up close to the track.
Engineer Weber did his best to alarm
the driver but he was looking the 9TH
er way, and the tractor making so
much racket that nothing else could
be heard. The nose of the tractor
raked the whole right side of the pas
senger and baggage cars, derailing
both and defacing them. Damage to
both the tractor and train was of a
minor nature, however, and the trac-
tor and bystanders aided the bug back
onto the rails and it went on its way
rejoicing. The passengers were some
what shaken up, and the driver Of the
tractor had narrow escape from ser
ious injury

TWO CARS IN BAD GkASf
BUICK AND FoRDCOME ToGETH-
Err ON McLEES RIDGE
Five Occupants Are Much Bruised
and Cut Up by Shock and Flying
Glass

Melvin Rudser and his two sisters
in Buick runahout and Carl Phillips
and May Waldron in Ford came to-
gether Saturday night at about eleven
o'clock on the MeLees ridge road in
front of Mike Stoehr's place. Both
cars were apparently travelling at a
good rate of speed and are badly
wrecked. The occupants were hastily
brought to Viroqua where a first
glance made it appear that they were
all in desperate shape--bleeding from
many wounds inflicted by flying glass.
After medical attention had been adj
ministered it was found that while all
were badly bruised and cut, no serious
injuries had been sustained. The most
severe injury was sustained by the
Waldron girl-an ugly cash just
above the knee which required Twelve
stitches to close, and to the credit of
the young lady be it said that she
submitted to the stitching of the deep
cut without either a general or local
aneSthetic being administered.

KILLED BY DYNAMITE

On August 6, Dominic Bachin
was killed by an explosion of dyna-
mite while working for the Kidder-
POWELL Construction Co., on the road
near Boscobel The deceased was a
man of fifty-six years of age and he
left wife, an aged mother and five
children--the latter nearly all grown.
The unfortunate man was dynamiting
an apple tree out of the new roadway
and had put in four charges of dyna-
mite. He had warned all nearby
workmen and stopped all traffic The
fourth charge was not exploded and he
evidently started to investigate the
cause. The charge exploded as he
came near the tree and he was thrown
into the air and his neck was broken
when he fell. The only witnesses of
the accident were a couple of tele-
phone employers from Madison who
were at work some distance from the
new road.
The Kidder-F POWELL Construction Co.
carry compensation and public liabil-
ity insurance in the Maryland Casual
ty with John Dawson & Co. MrFow-
ell notified them of the accident by
telephone and a representative of the
claim department went to Boscobel
early last week to take care of all
legal claims for the POWELL Kidder

J ustified
National Wage Commission
Says Claims for Downward
Readjustment Is Borne
Out by Evidence. !
Final Decision on June

Chicago, May 1.-THE United
States railroad labor board an
nounced late today it had decided
prevailing conditions justify to
! some extent, yet to be determined,
readjustment downward of the
wages of the employees of the car
riers which are parties to the dis
putes already heard by the board"
The announcement which affects
common labor on practically every
railway in the country, was entirely
unexpected, as the board only began
formal consideration of the case yes
terday, following the filing by B. nj.
Jewell, president Of the Railway En-
ploye's department of the American
Federation of Labor, of the final ar
guments Of the employees against any
reductions. The railroads had
closed their case on May 7.
The announcement further de-
clared that the board would hand
down its final decision in all wage
disputes docketed prior to April lS,
on June !, to be effective on July l.
Disputes filed since April 10 will be
heard on June 6, "it being the pur-
pose of the board to make its deci-
sion of the disputes heard June 6 Ell
fective on July l."
Text of Announcement.
The boards announcement fol-
Whereas, Under date Of April s,
1921, the railroad labor board
adopted resolution which rccited,
among other things, that, in the
judgment of the board, it is desirable
to hear at one time and decide in
one decision, SO far as may be posi-
BILE, the question as to what may
constitute just and reasonable wages
for all classes of employees of car
riers parties to decision No. 2, as to
whose wages there may be disputes.
and,
Whereas, The board has now
heard the evidence and arguments
of both parties to all such disputes
which were filed and docketed prior
to April 18, 1921, but since said date
large number of applications for
decision Oh similar disputes have
been filed and there are reasonable
grounds to believe still another such
applications are about to be filed;

Whereas, The railroad labor
board has, by formal resolution, de-

downward of the wages of the en1r

Miners To Join
In New Wage Plans
Anthracite Workers to Co.
Operate With Soft Coal
Employees in Negotiations.

New York, May 1.-THE anthra-
cite mine workers will join forces
with the bituminous miners in for
nlulating policies to govern the ne
gotiations Of new wage agreements
with the coal operators, to take the
place of the contracts which expire
May 81, 1922.
This action, which will consoli-
date the ranks of the 100000 or
ganized miners, was decided on at a
conference between international Of
ficers of the United Mine Workers
of America and the presidents and in
ternational board members of the
three union districts comprising the
anthracite coal regions.
The conference decided that the
anthracite tri-district convention,
which is usually held in August, to
draw up new wage demands should
be postponed until after the inter-
national convention Of the United
Mine Workers at Indianapolis, Sep
tember, 20.
John L. Lewis, international pres
ident of the United Mine Workers,
explained that under this arrange
inenf, the Indianapolis convention
would frame policies that would gov
ern both factions of miners in their
wage negotiations. He said a date
would be fixed after the convention
for the tri-district meeting.

Mexicans Expel
Two Americans
For Activities
Charges Preferred as Result of
Their Participation in Radi.
cal Invasion of Chamber
Last Week.

Mexico City, May 12.--Frank Sea-
man, alleged to be another American
agitator; another American whose
name was not announced; two Span
iards and four other foreigners, were
ordered expelled from Mexico last
night on the ground that they were
"pernicious foreigners" This charge
was preferred against them under the
provisions of article 50 Of the Mex
ican constitution and was a result
of the participation of the four men
in the radical invasion of the Cham
Der of Deputies last week.
Demonstrations in government
buildings and in churches have been
forbidden in an order issued by
President Obregon.
Members of the 1iberal-constitu-
tional party in the Chamber Of
Deputies planned to propose ousting
of several radicals yesterday but abb
sence of quorum deferred action
until the chamber assembled tonor-
row.
Hold Secret Caucus.
Early yesterday afternoon the
Observation-Disclosures held a Sc
cret caucus at which they discussed
the program to be followed. They
gave particular attention to letter
they purpose to send to President
Obregon asking his support in their
efforts to impeach Philip E. GARLIC,
Antonio Diaz Sciotay Cana, radi-
cal deputies charged with leading
last weeks invasion of the chamber
by bolsheviki. They also hope, to
secure the designations of Celestino
Gasca, governor of the federal dis
trict; Senor Morons, labor leader,
and Inspector of Police Reygadas.
Gendarmes guarded every entrance
to the chamber yesterday and per-
sons entering the building were
searched for arms.
Plan Demonstration.
Socialists have planned a demon
stration upon the arrival from More
liza of the body of Isaac Arriaga, a
radical leader, who was killed during
the rioting there last Thursday.
Sweeping orders were issued last
night by President Obregon to the
federal prosecuting attorney, the SUI
preme court and the department of
interior to investigate the Morelia
affair and the invasion of the Cham
Der of Deputies by radicals. Fed
eral officers were directed to use
every means at their command to
ascertain the cause of the Catholic
socialist clash at, Morelia, which was
described in the presidents order as
an "act of intemperance and intoler-
ance."
