"The machine was going at q
pretty good rate of speed when il
struck a sandpit in the road. The
auto whirled around two or three
times and then shot for the EN-
bankment towards the river, where
it struck with great force. DIR. Hol-
lern and Miss Mccormick were
thrown from the machine. Harry
Erwin, who was at the wheel, sue
ceeded in holding on and escaped
uninjured. When the machine
struck the pit the heavy fur robe
in the front seat became entangled
in the brakes ami it was impossible
to stop the machine.
"Those who were in the machine
consider their escape a fortunate
one. "a little above the place
where the machine struck was a
telephone pole and only few rods
below there is a road headed for
the river. Had they missed the
embankment the auto would have
undoubtedly plunged down the
bank into the river. Had the ma
chine bucked just few feet above
it would have struck telephone
pole and would have ended serious
ly. The axle castings were broken
on the auto ami the cone bent"

Jacobson was drowned in Sank
Lake on Saturday evening last. He
had been to town on that day, and
in company with O. Gibson start
ed in the afternoon to go to his
home about ten miles distant near
the head of Sank Lake. They trav-
eled afoot on the ice up the lake,
and had proceeded about eight
miles when Jacobson, who was
ahead, broke through. Gibson
says the last he saw of him he was
in his hands and knees with his
jackknife in his hand trying the
ice in front of him, when all at
once he broke through and never
rose to the top. The position of
the body when found the next day
seemed to corroborate the state
ment of Gibson, the body being
found immediately under the hole
broken in the ice, where the wat
er is twelve or fifteen feet deep,
with the knife still graspd in his
hand. The position of the body
did not show any signs of an eff
fort to save himself, but indicated
that he had sank to the bottom
without a struggle.
The deceased was about twenty
five years old, and leaves a wife
and one child.

ings was changed to the village.

1925. The death rate per 100, 900

dropped from 974 to 973.
Principal increases from rates in

1t is interesting to note that
there not only is an increase in
revenue but the average tax per
vehicle is also somewhat higher,
being $3.50 in 1927 as compared
with $15.71 in 1926. With three
months left to go the prospects are
that by the end of the year, Min

Excerpts from the Herald
of so Years Ago

The supervisors are preparing
to replank the bridge across the
Sank River on Main street. The
planks are on the ground ready
for the worlmen. This bridge was
getting rather unsafe, and the i'm
provement was needed.
j. D. Cars, ESQ.,, has invented
force pump, of which he has
had a rough model manufactured.
A practical test shows it to be a
perfect success. The small model
throws water over a two story
house with perfect ease, and re-
quires very little power to oper-
ate it. The pump can be very
cheaply manufactured, and must
prove a fortune to the inventor.
Mr.. A. G. Jaques is still drum
ming. The last thing he drum
med was our office stove, with
one of Spauliing's Patent. If any
one doubts the recommendations
of this drum which have been pub
lished in the Herald, we invite them
to come in and sit by our stove a
few minutes and be convinced.
People always receive a warm re-
ception where Spaulding Drum is
used.
Alex Moore informs US that with
ordinary luck in getting his ma
chinery from Milwaukee, he will
have his grist mill at Little Sank
running within forty days. A large
crew of men are employed and
the work is being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible.
