THIRTY KILLED IN WISCONSIN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
State Highway Commission Reports
Over Four Hundred Accidents
Since January l.

Madison-Death at the wheel of
Wisconsin motor cars took a toll Of
80 lives on Wisconsin highways
since January /, reports of the high
way commission show.
More than half of the total of 40S
auto accidents for the six month
period, PA were caused By reckless
driving. All other causes-improper
lights broken car mechanism, rail
road crossings, intoxicated drivers,
narrow culverts and bridges. weather
conditions-did not take as heavy
a toll of dead and injured as the
careless driver
All road patrolmen are required to
report to the highway commission
the accidents along their patrol
The cause, the number of persons in
the car, the extent of injury and the
kind of road on which the accident
occurred must be included in the
report to the commission.
No deaths were reported for
January and February and only one
in March. With the better condi-
tons of roads in April, however, the
number of fatalities jumped to five
1t more than doubled for the month
Of May with 13 reported dead, In
June the figure dropped off slightly
to IL.
A very large majority, about go
per cent of all accidents, occurred on
straight roads, showing that speed
ing must have been the cause of the
accidents. Only II accidents oc-
Cured on railroad crossings The
campaigns for safety conducted by
railroad companies has greatly re-
duced the number of accidents from
this cause. Improved grade cross
ings has also helped to cut down the
number
A total number of l,314 peorle
were involved in the 4oS accidents.
OF this number 867 escaped without
injury. Two hundred fourteen were
seriously injured and 233 escaped
with minor injuries.
During the months OF February
and January weather conditions
caused the preponderance of motor
accidents. twenty-five mishaps
were reported for the two months as
due to sleet and ice.
June was a sleepy month. Several
drivers fell asleep at the wheel re-
sulting in motor accidents. During
the six month period only eight ac-
cidents were due to narrow culverts
or bridges.
No particular counties in the state
are especially prone to motor ac-
cidents. Certain turns and corners
cause more accidents than any
others, however. Changes are made
in the road where the report Of
patrolmen show that accidents are
liable to happen.

TEAM AND FANS MAKE HIT
Amigo People Marveled at the Way
Hurley Boosters Stood by Their
Ball Team.

While Hurley lost the game at
Amigo Sunday the team and fans
made n big hit with the railroad
towns people. They liked the way
the boys conducted themselves on
the diamond, displaying true sports
manship all the time. and they
maweled at the way Hurley fans
backed their team Nearly two
hundred persons were on the special
train which was chartered to make
the trip to Amigo Accompanied
by band an impression was made
on the Amigo people that brought
forth words of praise
From the Amigo Daily Journal is
taken the following account of the
game:
Before an attendance of 1900
bowling Hurley and Amigo fans, the
local team defeated the visitors from
the north by score of to ,.
Amigo played consistent ball
throughout the entire game and
scored single runs in the first, third,
fourth, sixth and eighth innings, all
being earned runs with one excep-
ton, a wild pitch by Richie allowing
kueen to scamper home in the third.
Inability to hit Higgins safely was
responsible for Hurley's low score,
although Amigo played stellar bali
in both the infield and outfield
Hurley's first score came in the
third. Richie was hit by Higgins
and advanced to second on a passed
ball, a wild throw by Pufall put him
on third and Melvin's sacrifice to
Flanagan let him come in. Their
second score came in the ninth.
Melvin doubled and a little later
Baerwald duplicated, scoring

Some of the Best Talent in the

Furnish Entertainment.

The second annual chautauqua
uin h held in Hurley next week,
.+a5ting Monday and continuing
until Friday. The attractions are
offered by the Mutual-Ewell
bureau Of Chicago.

GIVEN every afternoon and evening
IN the biz tent erected for tie pur-
nose on the South Side school
grounds concluding Friday evening
with the Royal Holland Bell Ringers
and Smiling Bob" Briggs.
Through the enterprise of a num-
her of Hurley citizens who signed a
guarantee the people of the COM
munitv are offered a week of good,
wholesome entertainment at a
nominal price, considering the num-
her ana the character of the en-
treatments. Some of the best
talent in the country is brought right
to our doors, furnishing a class of
entertainment that would cost a
good deal more to see in the larger
cities than is asked for a seasons
ticket in Hurley,
It is to be hoped that the people
Of the community will lend their
support by buying tickets and at
tending the entertainments. 1t
costs considerable oney to have the
chautauqua, and it IS only made
possible through the fact that
number Of our citizens have agreed
to guarantee the cost. 1t is not
money making proposition. Enough
TO realize the guarantee is all that is
desired.
Last year the chautauqua was not
financial success and the differ
ence in the receipts and the
guarantee had to be made up by the
guarantors. A carnival as a
counter attraction the same week is
believed to have been the reason. 1t
vas decided to try it again, many
believing that Hurley people would
support chautauqua if given an
other chance But should it fail
again it win have to be discontinued.
for it cannot be expected that a few
will continue to go good for deficits.

adults is $500, and for children

LAKE SUPERIOR PARK AT
TRACING MANY PEOPLE
Park and Camp Site Provided by
County North of Saxon Is "a
Fine Place.

To the man and his family or
young people who wish to spend a
day in the open and enjoy the in
MIGRATING cool breezes from off
Lake Superior or to the tourists who
wishes to camp on the shores Of the
largest body of fresh water in the
world Lake Superior park north of
Saxon offers a splendid opportunity.
A visit to the park last Sunday
found quite a number of persons
there and from a reliable source it
was learned that almost every day
people 70 to the park The largest
number go on Sunday and there en-
joy picnic lunches, wading, walking
on the beach and even swimming
when the water is warm enough.
Accommodations at the park are
now complete, the work of erecting
rest Building, toilet, building tables
and benches and providing water by
digging a well and putting in
pump, as ordered by the county
board of supervisors, having been
completed but a short time ago.
The park has been leveled off and
seeded and even a flag pole has
been provided.
The road TO the park is in fine
shape and since it is only five miles
from Saxon it takes but short
time to drive there The drive in
itself is enjoyable, for it takes
you through the thriving farming
section in the north end Of the
county
At Saxon where the road to the
park leaves No 10 large sign has
been placed calling the attention Of
tourists that at Lake Superior park
there is a free camp site Another
sign farther on helps to direct the
stranger to the park
The county dads are to be COM
mended for their efforts in establish
ing this recreation place for the
public While the park is pro-
badly a little out Of the way for
tourists, except those who have the
time and want more than an over
night stopping place, it should be
popular with the people Of the range
who enjoy days outing.

On the face Of election returns
last fall ia Ottowa county, Fred
kamferbeek, Democrat, was elected
sheriff by a margin of las. His
Republican opponent, Delbert
Fortney, asked for a recount. which
was granted by the canvassing
board The board threw out 1924
ballots east for Kamferbeek and
72l cast for Fortney, which, then
gave Fortney majority of 30S.
Then kamferbeek started quo war
ranto proceedings in the circuit
court, but the court upheld the
action of the canyassing board in
throwing out all the ballots in ques-
ton, on the ground they had been
initiated by the inspectors in lead"
pencil, and not in ink or indelible
pencil as required by the statute.
In its opinion confirming the lower
court, the supreme court points out
that while the 1915 law included the
word lead" the 1917 law as
amended at that time leaves the
word out and plainly says that all
ballots must be initiated either in
ink or indelibie pencil"

as it stands united, organized, fed
Grated, and unified for common pur-

destructive force can prevail.
We are not without our foes. Some

others are on the outside, fighting our

chaos or in autocratic control.
