John   G.-033 of Granite  Looses
One of His Grays in Skunk
River Eddy
Friday evening- about ten
•o'clock, while driving home
from Pierz, John Gross of Granite lost one of his horses in the
eddy just below theSkunk river
bridge at Joe Eisel's place.
At or very near this bridge
two section lines intersect, the
north and south line of which
divides the towns of Granite
and Buh. These two towns tog-ether, last spring- built a new
bridge on the town line, whereas the old bridge had been on
the east and west line. The old
bridge was stripped of its railing and planks which left a
precipice about ten feet high
at the end of each approach.
To cross the new bridge from

received here this morning that
M. S. Klauber, wealthy retired
merchant of this city, and W.S.
Watrous of Austin, 111., a former Madisonian, were drowned
onThanksgiving day while crossing the ice on Little lake near
Mr. Watrous' hunting lodge
14 miles from Powell, Iron Co.
Klauber had gone to Watrous'
place which is in the famous
"Flambeau" reservation on the
south fork of the Flambeau river, for a rest about two weeks
ago."

LIQUOR    RETURNED

APPLICANTS  WANTED jTWt) OLD SETTLERS DIE
Nine carloads of liquor
passed thruLittleFalls Satur-
dav on the wav to the tu in
c tu s. from Detroit, Minn.
This liquor is what the saloon-
krepers had on hand when the
! closing order  took effect last
. Friday   evening-,   and   which
was returned to various whole
s:le liquor houses in St. Paul
and Minneapolis.    5000 cases,

the new bridge, pulled on his
right line. The stones and
gravel rolled away from under
the horses feet and the one on
right side rolled about half way
down the bank. A few lusty
shouts from John brought Joe
Eisel with a lantern to the
scene. When the straps of the
harness, which held the unfortunate horse to its mate, were
cut, it rolled onto the ice and
into the open boiling eddy, in
which after an hour of vain effort to gain secure footing, it
sank to rise no more. After
midnight John led his remaining
horse home, ruminating, perhaps, as did James Fitz James
sorrowing over the loss of his
ma'chless steed, in "The
Lady of the Lake":
"Woe   worth  the chase, woe
worth the day,
That cost thy life, my gallant
gray."
Though the horse was old and
could at best serve under the
inevitable harness only a few
more years, it yet fought val-
iently for its life, when the latter became endangered.
The parallel is complete.
Those of a sympathetic mind
who know and see the eddies
and pitfalls which incessantly
confront us and everywhere beset the road we are to travel in,
should do their utmost to warn
and save the unsuspecting. In
the meantime the eddy is still
swirling, boiling, wheeling,
foaming. What or who shall be
its next victim?
Klauber's father conducted a
store in Madison as long as 50
years ago.
A   Sandstorm   in   Egypt
During the rainy season in
Egypt, sandstorms (haboobs)
are of very freqnent occurence.
The heavy, sun obscuring volume
swooping along with great rapidity might be taken for smoke
arising from a dozen burning
oil tanks, but it is composed of
veritable cliffs of sand. There's
nothing that really satisfies the
thirst and refreshes body and
