An Ironwood young man, Oliver
Miller, slipped and fell from a cliff
at Copper Falls near Mellen late
Sunday afternoon and was instant
ly killed. He was dead when
Miller's companions reached him,
his neck having been broken in
the fall.
Miller was a member of a party
which motored from Ironwood
Sunday to Copper Falls on a sight.
seeing tour. He and three com
panions were walking along the
cliffs which rise hundreds of feet
from the bed of the river and when
endeavoring to negotiate a parti
cularly narrow strip Miller sudden
ly and without warning slipped and
fell headlong to the river bed be-
low. His companions hurried to
his side and were amazed to hud
Miller dead. His neck was broken,
skull fractured and his body other
wise mangled. His companions
hurried to Mellen and notified the
authorities and Monday afternoon
the body was shipped to Ironwood.
Miller, who was born in Iron.
wood and lived there all his life,
was we'll known. He was r. years
old and leaves his widowed mother
and sister.
Copper Falls have been visited
by hundreds of sightseers in past
years but this is the first fatal &C
cident to happen there in many
years, although seeing the falls IS
not without its dangers unless one
refrains from walking too near the
edge OF the cliffs. Miller probably
took an unnecessary chance and
paid with his life for his foolhard-
mess. The water in the river IS
very low at this time of the year
the beds being almost dry in some
places.

PENCE SCHOOL
BIDS OPENED
Combined Bids Exceed Original Ap-
preparation and Special Meeting
Will Be Called to Take
Action.

Whether the electors of School
District No. l wish to make an
additional appropriation to cover
the cost of school building at
Pence over and above the amount
set aside for that purpose at a pre-
vlous meeting must be decided at
special meeting, according to
Marion F. Reid, school district
clerk. The date for the meeting
has not been set, but it will pro-
badly be called in the near future.
Bids for the two story school
building and basement at Pence
were opened i'll the Office of the
school district clerk last FRIDAY.
For the general contract the bid of
the Atkinson Construction con-
pany of Ironwood was the lowest,
little more than $50, 600. There
were four other bidders for the
general construction contract. in
cluding Duluth firm.
Joe Pollock of this city was the
lowest bidder and was awarded the
contract for the plumbing, heating
and ventillating, at an approximate
figure of SIS, 500.
The electrical contract was award
ed to Domenic Friola of the Hurley
Electric company. His bid was
$1,000.
The total bids exceeded the
amount of $4,000 appropriated
for the building by about $4,000
Unless the electors decide to make
an additional appropriation the
plans will have to be changed SO
that building can be erected at a
price that will come within the
original appropriation.

Record Number of Accidents in
August.

The month of August Lolds the
record for number of accidents oc
curing on State Trunk Highways
this season. There were a total
Of 1872 accidents, involving approx
mately $50 people. Twenty-Five
people were killed, s8 seriously in
jured, III slightly injured, and the
remainder escaped without injury.
or the accidents l2I occurred on
straight roads where the vision
was good, IS on curves and corners,
I9 on intersecting cross roads, 7
on railroad crossings, and 7 at
miscellaneous other places.
OF the t82 accidents, 135 of them,
or "a per cent were caused by reck-
less driving. These are astonish-
ing figures but nevertheless fairly
accurate.
The Wisconsin Highway Com
mission is endeavoring, through
this monthly report of accidents,
to warn the public of the serious
ness of these highway accidents.
1t is true that we have, annually,
an increasing motor traffic, but
this should be all the more reason
for being more cautions when using
the highways.
