DAWN TO DUST SQUAD TRIED
BY HIGHWAY PATROL

Seeking further to increase the
service and effectiveness Of the
Highway patrol Of the Minnesota
Highway Department, w. F. Rosen-
wald, safety engineer Of the de-
partment, is trying an experiment
by operating dusk to dawn" pa
troll squad in the area adjacent to
the cities.
This innovation has been in eff
feet since Dec. 10, and to dates &C
cording to M. J. Murray, patrol
chief, has had gratifying results.
Arrests have been made every
night, mostly of drunken and reck-
less drivers, and a number Of &C
cidents have been attended. Aid
has been given to stranded motor
lists endangered by the cold.
Records Of the patrol reveal one
instance where, spotting car in
the ditch with motor still running,
investigation was made by dusk
to dawn" officers and two men were
found nearly dead Of carbon mono
vide. They were revived with no
bad effects and 1t was disclosed
that they had been in the poison
filled and ditched car for almost
two hours.
A carbon monoxide detector bor-
rowed from the State Industrial
Commission is carried by the squad.

Now there are many theories in re-
gard to that Alpinitis, or climbing

workers. Mine is perhaps an
unusual case since it strikes me
early in my career. I shall have
to doctor for It for a long time. :.

Hetzel takes the floor and

1.-THE first exhibition Of the ten
which I gave on my 5000 mile trip
of almost four weeks was given at
Madison, Wisconsin, for high
school game at the U of Wisconsin
field house. The crowd numbered
about 500 and I was in splendid
form. I was interviewed over sta
ton WIBA before the game while
the night. before in an interview be-
tween Roundy Coughlin and Bud
Foster, the former rated me as the
greatest trick shot expert in the
games history" Chats a gross
understatement.)
Wilfred goes on to say he per-
formed at Rockford at an indepen-
dent contest at the st. Thomas Col
liseum and turned in another "stel-
lar exhibition, altho 1t was an I'M
scheduled one" December 10th he
arranged an eleventh hour demon
stration at the Chicago Armory for
a college double header before 5000
spectators. He said he made
a hit, because the Windy City au-
dience tossed several dollars in
coins onto the floor. F. His uni
form was the toast Of the players
who viewed it. It's flashly color
scheme was the subject for host
of favorable comments. :. The I'M
form is the one made possible thru

ries Main Street all over its back. +.
Shortly before Christmas Het-

if-Osakis' performance on their
own floor is a sample of what they
do on an average on any court, they
will be bigtime in the tournament
race this year. For they really
can play the ball on their own
court. But the contingency arises
can they duplicate performances
when a bigger court opens up both
offensive and defensive maneu-
verS. -.
Osakis has scrappy ball club
they play hard for the ball, and
their offensive is fast. But q
defensive weakness is apt to hurt
them on a larger floor. For team
that scores A points and allows its
opponents 34-on a court that is
definitely a handicap to the visit
ing team-there is a defensive
weakness. They've got reserves
that know how to play the game.

Man Killed by
Train at Fremont

Saturday at $50 p. m. Jim
Taylor, employee of the w. M.
Ritter Lumber Co., was struck by
a south bound freight train and
killed instantly. The tragedy oc-
Cured about 1000 yards up the
track from the Fremont station,
at side switch. Taylor, according
to eye witnesses was sitting on the
end Of cross tie, and facing
away from the track when the
train came along some part Of it
striking him in the back Of the
head and crushing his skull in>
stantly.
The train was made up of two
engines in front and one behind
with a long line Of cars in between
and although it was slowing down
at the time of the accident, it was
impossible for it to be stopped
during the period of time between
the moment the engineer sighted
Taylor sitting on the track, and

the moment the train struck him.
Several times during the after
noon Taylor, who was said to have
been somewhat intoxicated, was
cautioned to keep off the railroad
track, and once friends made him
get up off the track where he was
sitting and led him away to safe
ty. When the train struck him, no
one was near enough to have
saved him.
Taylor was a native of Buchan-
an county, born at Big Rock, Vir-
ginia and was twenty-eight years
old. He is the son of Jim Abe
Taylor and Mary Taylor of Buc-
hanan county. While working for
Ritters he stayed with his brother,
Joe Taylor of Big Spaddle. He
has a sister, Mrs. John Henry
Estep, living in Fremont.
Soon after the accident the
body was removed to the Clint
wood Funeral Home where it was
prepared for burial.
Funeral services were held Sun
day at p. m. at Peuther Chapel
on Big Ridge with Rev. Emory
Reedy and Rev. Smith in charge.
Although Taylor was compare
tive stranger in Dickinson county,
an usually large crowd was pres
ent at his funeral. He was laid to
rest in the cemetery back of the
Chapel.

Mr.. Whites statement was in
line with the results of a recent
poll in Cleveland, o., which shsw-

only 16 per cent opposed.
