BARABOO MAN
Is RUN DOWN
BY HEAVY CAR
Crushed Between Tenders of His
Own Auto and One Driven by
Sank City Youth

An automobile driven by Frank C..
Curtis, Sauk City, and occupied by
young men who gave their names as
Forest Tabor, H. G. Monson and Guy
Waffenschmidt, all of Prairie du Sac.
and two girls said to be stopping at
Devils lake, ran down H. K. Page of
this city as he stood beside his auto
mobile in the road at Devi-Bara re-
ort and crushed MIN between the fen
der of his own car and that of the
young men. The affair happened about
eleven o'clock Monday night after
Mr.. Page had followed the Sauk City
car to ascertain its number as it had
previously crashed into one of the
rear tenders of the Page car as il
stood parked in front of the Country
Club. The young men in their effort
to escape took the road leading to
Devi-Baraba and drove into the
grounds but found themselves trap
ped as it was necessary to come out
of the grounds by the same road that
they took in although they tried to

rowly escaped going over a steep
bank. Apparently in their despera-
tion to escape detection the driver
decided to force a passage even
though the road was blocked by Mr..
Pages car and came toward it. The
owner was in front holding up his
arms for the oncoming car and it's oc-
cupants to stop but they needed not
and in trying to drive up bank near
the side of the stationary auto ran
into Mr.. Page and caught him between
the tenders of the two cars. His body
was severely bruised and lacerated
but apparently there were no inter
nal injuries. After their questionable
act the young men sped away without
waiting to see what injuries they had
done. They were later rounded up at
Sauk City by Motorcycle Policeman
4. c. AccOla and brought to Baraboo,
Night Patrolman r. L. Capener hav-
ing called up Mr.. Accola as well as
notifying other nearby towns to be on
the lookout for the car.
The young men were held at the
city hall until five o'clock this morn
ing and after their identity was es-
tabljshed were permitted to return
to their homes.
Both Mr.. CapenOr and Mr.. Accola
deserve special credit for the efficient
manner in which they handled the
matter of locating the young men who
were in the car that was driven so
recklessly.
Guests at the Devi-Bara who
witnessed the affair were emphatic
in their condemnation of the actions
of the young men and the brutal man
ner in which they ran into Mr.. Page.
The latter had a narrow escape from
fatal injury.
The car driven by the Sauk City
youth was a seven passenger touring
car that had been rented from a Mr..
Bloom of the above village.

date fr congress.

Friends of superintendent A. G.
Kingsford. Republican candidate for
congress, made a booster trip over
Sauk county on Friday, the day being
hot but full Of enthusiasm. The
Baraboo High school band, pupils Of

The band was directed by F. F. Morey
and G. H. Hood
Stops we're made at Prairie du Sac,
Sauk City Black Hawk, Spring Green,
Plain, Loganville, and Reedsburg.
Addresses by Candidate
Nj Kingsford spoke at all of the
places mentioned At the onset he
most kindly gave a word of apprecia-
tion for the demonstration and effort
being made by his friends. The work.
ers had left their tasks in order to
give the day to the full support of
Mr. Kingsford lie especially appre-
ciated the efforts Of the High School
pupils in that they made the trip and
gave the liveliest airs they knew.
During the day he discussed the
issues in the campaign. He said we
had too much government there we're
tco many officials receiving salaries
He told of an instance of six men
meeting at a Spring Green hotel and
when they exchanged notes it was
found that all were working for the
state. inspectors in one or the other
departments of the state. On another
occasion several men were in a bus
and when they had exchanged cards
it was found they were all drawing a
salary from beneath the big white
dome at Madison.
He dwelt upon the high taxes, and
told how the burden had increased
on the farm. If the expenses could
not be reduced he said that every
effort should be made to keep them
where they are. He gave figures to
bear out his statement
Mr.. Kingsford would avoid war, be
lieyed that difficulties between labor
and capital should be settled in some
manner aside from strikes because
both sides lose.
Judge Evans Speaks
at Spring Green Judge f. A. Evans
introduced Mr.. Kingsford. the two
having been friends since they were
in the University of Wisconsin M~
Evans explained that he was a de-.
crat and was supporting MIR Kings
ford because of his excellent worth.
The keynote of the address of Judge
Evans was that this country is on
in which the majority rules.
In introducing the candidate at
Loganville and Reedsburg, former
Lieutenant Governor f. F. Dithmar
gave some past political history. He
stated that at the last Republican
national convention at Chicago a
ballot was taken as to who should be
the candidate for governor, Mr. Blaine
receiving 3, Krumrey l, and Dithmar
It. r. M. LaFolle.,e stated the mat
ter should be so decided. The senator
then went to Rochester, and six weeks
later came out in support of Blaine
Mr. Dithmar explained that is why ht

All in all it was a successful trip.

Dert. who was in Paraboo for the cele-

way q few of the Baraboo folks pre-
ferred TO watch the ball game in pref
erence to listening to the speaker of

mind. The Madison man was pleased

with a school in Portland and also
with eX-service men, placed in in

Suppose This Should
Happen, What
Would Augusta Do?

Said an Augusta business man on
Wednesday: Il sometimes wonder
how many of us have ever thought
what this institution on Winthrop
hill means to us. How many Of US
citizens of Augusta appreciate the
meaning Of a conflagration that would
wipe the Y. NJ. c. A. building out Of
existence? Do We realize how much
this institution,-and | am speaking
f,dvisedly when L refer TO it as an in
Situation-n1eans to our boys and
girls, to say nothing of the great
number of men and women who find
a home. or recreation, or entertain
ment there every week.
Glow many of us know that the
gross attendance in the hypsical de-
partment alone for one year is more
than 6000- in other words, that moro
than $50 boys and girls have been in
attendance throughout the year? How
many of us know that the records
show $500 persons used the swim
ming pool IN the past year? That .
boys and girls passed Red Cross life
saving tests? That $50 boys are re-
Ceiving free swimming lessons? That
$50 boys and girls were in the GRAM
mar school Athletic Meet?
rs it generally known throughout
the city of Augusta that any boy or
girl may receive free swimming les
sons at the "Y." Is it generally
known that six of the Augusta
churches had teams competing in the
church basketball league. through
which the boys of these churches had
free use of the ~" gymnasium?
II use the "Y" bowling alleys and
enjoy the baths: l partake of a great
number of privileges and am aware
that many Of my friends do the same.
We are inclined to take the institu-
ton for granted, accept it's courtesies,
and fail to appreciate its full mear'.' '
I us and to the community at large.
But when someone suggested to me
the other day that the sudden loss Of
the Augusta y. NJ c. A. would be a
disaster beyond all estimate. vas
startled by the thought of just what
it would mean to the people of .cis
city If we had no active, efficient,
wholesome, up-to-date and on-the-
Job Y. NJ. G. A. with all that goes with
that building and its various depart
nents. its dormtories and its attrac-
tions to young and old. ! am inclined
to think that Augusta could better
spare any other industry or institu-
ton in this city than it could its Y.
N. c. A.. and yet in our every day
life, we accept it as something to
which we are entitled and which will
go on indefinitely without our active
support or cooperation.

ness AMI professional people feel
about this subject"
