A bad accident occurred Thursday night northeast of Coleridge. Chas Ballard was coming home from his work in his auto and on a hill met Truman Peck driving a team. A wire fence prevented Charlie from getting out of the road and for some reason Truman gave none of the road, possibly because he did not see the car in time. The car was considerably damaged, but the greater loss fell upon Truman, as one horse had a limb broken and had to be shot. This horse was one of a matched team which was valued at $500.

A car was preceding Charlie to town and had just passed the team at the foot of the hill. The driver of this auto claims that none of the road was given for him, but that he had room to turn out. If the road was purposely held there would be no sympathy for Truman in his loss. - COLERIDGE BLADE

Automobiles belonging to Wilford Osborn and Alphonse Lammers met in a head on collision last night In front of Peter Scheidel's place southeast of town, and are badly battered as a result. Mr. and Mrs. Osbom were in Wilford's car, and Mrs. Osborn was thrown out and painfully though not seriously bruised. Dr. King was driving Mr. Lammers' car and was alone. Neither gentleman was injured.

It appears that Mr. Osborn's eyes were dazzled by the brilliant lights of the other car and that he kept to the road, which is deeply rutted and runs close to the fence. To avoid the fence and prevent a collision if possible he swung sharply to the left, Wilford at the same time turning to the right. The result was the collision which bent the axles of both cars and caved in Osborn's radiator.

R J Richards, who was following Osborn, took the doctor on to see his patient and a telephone message from Mr. Scheidel's summoned an auto to bring in the passengers of both cars. A passing auto however, picked them up shortly after the message had been sent. Had either car been running fast the injury would have been greater.

The Jones dam went out last spring and has not been replaced The dam was an expensive one, but was built without the services of an engineer, and the flood took it out.

The usture of the soil, however, necessitates the provision of adequate spillways else the grounp will wash out, leaving the dam high and dry.

If a fire should break out there would be much unnecessary loss of time as each section of hose, nozzles etc., would have to be carried or dragged to the fire and then when there something would be forgotten,and a trip back to the pump house would have to be made before the water could he turned on, thus giving a fire good headway. A good home-made or second hand hose cart could be procured at a very low cost. Lets get busy about it.

Gasoline: George Fitch tells us, was origshally used only for cleaning gloves and ejecting hired girls through the kitchen roof, but has now been taught a variety of tricks, such as running automobiles, aeroplanes, motor boats, wind mills, street cars, hearses, corn shellers and bicycles. By the aid of gasoline we can travel 60 miles an hour through the air, 150 miles an hour over the land and six feet into the ground with the greatest of ease. A gallon of gasoline can do as much in an hour as a horse can bo in a day, and it doesn't have to be fed and bedded down at night. It can drive an automobile 20 miles, and while doing this can cause three runaways, a collision, a $20 fine for speeding, a divorce suit and an inquest.

A gallon of whiskey at a Saturday night dance can cause a great deal of trouble but it is tame and kittenish beside a gallon of whiz water which is conducting a joy ride.

Gasoline is a clear, nervous liquid which is composed of speed, noise and trouble in equal parts. It is made of kerosene reduced to a more violent stage, and, is kindly supplied to the restless portion of mankind by the fragments of the late Standard Oil Company

Wakefield, Oct. 28. Special.

Fire was discoverer about 11 o'clock last evening at the Wakefield mill in the north part of the city and the alarm given by Messrs, Henry, and Oscar Olson and Geo. Glassman. Firemen responded promptly, but owing to lack of hose to properly reach the burning buildings and the headway gained they could not stay the flames with the bucket briagade formed to extend the water line beyond the reach of the hose and they worked hard to save the office building and coal sheds and barns and the other elevator.

Aid was summonded from Emerson, Wayne and Allen, all responding with hose. A train being on the siding at Emerson under order to come west was held until hose could be loaded and Emerson men were first at the scene. Messrs. Lamberson, Jas. Pile and Atkins went from here by automobile, carrying hose, and were at the fire within forty minutes from the receipt of the call.

The actual loss is not yet known, but there was complete destruction of the mill and elevator, two large buildings and their contents, consisting of the valuable mill machinery, 1,600 sacks of flour, 3,500 bushels of wheat, 500 bushels of corn and 600 bushels of rye, besides the flume being badly damaged. The loss will be from $25.000 to $85,000 with insurance to partially cover it.

It is not yet known whether the mill will be rebuilt or not, but the citizens of this place hope that it may be.

A town that never has anything to-do in a public way is on the road to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig its grave. a man that curses the town furnishes the coffin.

The man who is always pulling back any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times preaches the funeral, sings the doxology, and thus the town dies buried from all sorrow and care. - Ex.

Now at the approach of the Christmas season when homes stores and places of amusement are bedecked and adorned with all manner of decorations suggestive of a happy, merry, Yule time, it behooves us to speak a word of timely warning to all citizens to make this merry season a truly happy one accompanied by no appalling, dire disasters.

Dont decorate your tree with inflamable materials. Use asbestos wool to represent snow- Do not have any tissue paper on the tree. Of course nearly all toys are in themselves inflamable. It is best not to use any candles on the tree. Use little electric bulbs for light. They are safe and pretty. Do not allow small children to play with the light.
