The big circus arrived early Sunday
morning from Palmer and had its equip
ment on the island even before folks had
awakened and the small boy had raced
down to the train to see it unloaded. 1t
was not until late in the afternoon that
many went over to size up the big show
and by that time all of the necessary
Sunday work had been completed and
there was not much to be seen, so the
visitors confined themselves to an inSpec-
ton of the four stables which housed
some very fine horses.

PRA. DU CHEN YOUTHS
SAVED BY CEDAR SHRUB

c. Adams and H. G. Jaeggi, Pra. du
CHEN boys, motoring from Dubuque
homeward, went over a bank on
Hoadley hill near Platteville, Sunday
night a week ago. The car was
speeding and the driver could not
make a sharp curve. The boys were
pinned beneath the car but not badly
hurt. Rev. Lodwick happened along
and released the boys. The car was
demolished.
1t is a miracle, Platteville parties
say, that the young men were not
killed. When they turned out to
avoid a we'll drilling outfit and went
down the bank they faced a drop OF
$50 feet down steep hillside. ~
some miracle a small cedar TT se
caught the car after it had rolled
once. Adams was caught under the
machine. His companion was not
hurt.
The car was "snaked" down the
valley with a rope and driven back
under its own power.
