AUTO HITS GUARDRAIL
HURRICANE “SPEEDER” NARROW
LY MISSES GOING OVER EM
BANKMENT.
(Platteville Journal.)
Tony Udelhoven, of Hurricane, had
a mighty narrow escape Sunday from
a very serious accident near Platte
ville. He was in his large Buick car,
with his wife and three small child
ren and a neighbor, coming to Platte
ville. They were coming down the
Calloway hill, which has lately been
improved so much that it is a tempt
ing piece of road on which to speed.
Tony says that he was coming down
at a fast rate and when he neared the
bottom just simply could not make
the turn. The car swerved out too
far to the left and went against the
rail on the edge of the embankment.
It tore out four of the posts, broke
the top rail and then was stopped on
the edge of.the bank at the next post.
The jar threw Mrs. Udelhoven and two
children out and the other child and
the two men remaining in the car.
Fortunately no one was injured, but it
was a mighty close call. The car lit
erally hung on the edge of the steep
embankment and was later removed
by the Eagle Garage Co. The ma
chine was damaged somewhat, but the
whole affair was a miraculous escape.
Mr. Udelhoven says everything
worked perfectly on the car and there
Is no blame to be attached except to
himself for driving down the hill too
fast. Mrs. Udelhoven returned to
Fennimore with friends and Tony
waited to right the car.
Miss Nora Plapp, who has been em
ployed in the M. A. Bishop store for
the past six or seven years has re
signed her position to take effect Jan.

business course at Ypsilanti, Michi
gan. Miss Plapp has been a very ef
ficient assistant in her work and has
made many friends by her interest and
courtesy. Miss Myrtle Horn will suc
ceed her at the Bishop store.
In a letter received from Mrs. J. P.
Huntington she states that Mrs. Mary
Huntington Carr is to give a Platte
ville party for her father on his birth
day. All people who have ever resid
ed in Platteville and are now in Cali
fornia, are invited to this gathering.
There are about fifty who will attend.

crowd about the track killing Mr.

Mrs. Zuratch was born at Boscobel,
but has lived in the West for several

BAGLEY MAN IS BADLY BATTERED
(By Mrs. George R. Hodge in
Fennimore Times.)
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Moore of Pleas
ant Valley narrowly escaped being
killed last Tuesday night. As they
were returning home after dark Tues
day night in a covered buggy from
Bloomington one of the horses seemed
restless and uneasy and Fred got out
to look at the harness and went to
the horses’ head when the animal
reared up and struck him in the face
knocking him down and trampling on
him and the team started on the run;
ran over him. buggy and all. Mrs.
Moore retained her seat in the buggy
and held to the lines and kept in the
road until she came to a hill when she
i succeeded in stopping them. She then
turned around and started back to look
for her husband, not knowing how
badly he was injured.
The accident occurred near Byron
Patch’s house. Although severely
hurt Mr. Moore made Patch hear him
and the latter came to his rescue. By
ron jumped on a horse and followed.
Mrs. Moore and met her and they came
back to Patch’s and took one of Patch’s
horses and Mrs. Moore took Fred
home that night. Luckily he had no
bones broken, but his face was badly
I cut and bruised and his body was al
so badly bruised. He was bedfast at
last report. Fortunately one of the
horses was an old gentle animal easily
controlled. The one that got the bet
ter of them was a strange animal they
had not driven much. Mrs. Moore’s
nerve and pluck in hanging to them
probably saved her, although it was a
wonder they were not seriously injur
ed or killed.
There is nothing easier than to
grind an axe if you can get somebody
to turn the grindstone.
A man doesn’t mind having his
j wife a little bit jealous if there isn’t
J any cause for it.
It is remarkable the number of bar
i gains one runs across while broke.
