Citizens of Austin. Leroy and in
fact the entire vicinity were astounded
when they learned of Thomson's pc
culations.
No matter what has happened"
said one prominent citizen, Austin
and Mower county residents will have
a warm spot in their hearts for "Cy"
Thomson. He was a builder. He
put us on the map. The city is years
ahead of what it would have been had
it not been for his work"
One citizen pointed to Thomson's
creed-an old verse-which he had
printed on birch bark cards and mailed
throughout the northwest. with the
compliments of Oakdale Farms. The
verse read:
For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name.
He writes not that you won or lost.
But how you played the game.

Mr.. HORNED said, by transferring re-

TWO MEDINA MEN HAVE
q CLOSE CALL FROM DEATH

Il That two Medina men were mot
killed wheIi the auto! in which they
were riding was struck by an inter
urban car at the junction Of Union
and North Court streets Sunday night
about 8 o'clock, is little short of mir
aculous.
The car, an Overland, belonged to
John Cordas, brother-in-law of An
ton Horvath Of the Candy Kitchen,
and with him in the car was Clarence
Hanshue. Cordas who was driving,
turned his car. south as he entered
North Court street at the moment a
Southwestern local approached from
the south, the head of the machine
being well on the car track when hit.
The auto was turned completely
und. but not upset, because of a
high bank of sand just behind it,
placed there for paving purposes.
The auto was almost completely
wrecked and the rupture Of the gaso-
line tank and simultaneous combus-
tion Of its contents, caused a. consid-
cradle blaze which with difficulty was
extinguished.
Both men were well shaken up ard
scared, but escaped with only few
minor bruises about their limbs.
Those who were present when the
accident happened, state that the
street car headlight was dimmed, as
is customary in passing thru the vii
lage.

small road program, he believes that
$1,000 would be sufficient for his de-
partment. There was also a request
made that an allowance of $3.50 be
apportiorted to the map department
as ne wtax maps must soon be pro-
vided.

LAFAYETTE DWELLING
AND CONTENTS BURNED

The dwelling of w. M. Schlechty
in Lafayette was totally destroyed BY
fire Sunday morning together with
all its contents, and but for her be-
ing aroused from sleep by the smoke
which choked her, Mrs. Schlechty in
all probability would have lost her life
in the burning building. w.
Mr.. Schlechty was out of town at
the time and the two sons, Ralph and
Eugene, had left the house "a short
time before to examine their traps and
had told their mother, who was alone
in the house, not to be in any hurry
about arising.
When she awakenef the room was
full of smoke, and tllis with loud
cracking sound, made plain to Mrs.
Schlechty that her home was doomed.
AS she peered down the staircase it
seemed that the whole iaside of the
house was already in flames. Mrs.
Schlechty had barely time to get out
of the house without dressing. She is
at present staying with her son
Charles in Medina. The family are un-
able to advance. any theory for the
cause of the fire. ..5sxMs
Mr.. Schlechty places his loss at
about $1,000. INSURANCE of $500 was
carried on the dWehng and $500 on
the household goods. Nr. Schlechty
says he will probably rebuild, but not
before next spring. He has accepted
a position in the oil fields of Penn
sylvania. not far from Youngstown,
where he will be engaged through the
