There Are Elk Skins and Elk Skins Galore But there’s a difference. When a fellow makes a better rat trap than any one else, see how many imitations spring up overnight. Same with Elk Skins. Mr. Menzie worked for yeaTs to perfect this leather and he no more got to making shoes than most every factory in the country started to make an imitation, some of them pretty good, most of them punk. One manufacturer had them made so much alike that you couldn’t tell the difference unless jou looked for Menzie’s name on the sole. Look for the name and be sure you get the best. Men’s $3.00 and some $3.50 Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller ■ - ———■—J i

SHARE OF TROUBLE Henry Bauman of Monmouth Met With Painful Accident Monday, MRS. BAUMAN SICK This Morning a Death Message From South Dakota Was Received. , That the Henry Bauman family, re- ’ siding in Monmouth, is experiencing their share of trouble will not be 1 doubted by any who are famfliarr with these prominent people, and all are in ’ sympathy with and aiding them in ev-1 ery way possible. 1 The latest misfortune that has be- ■ fallen them was that of Monday, when > Mr. Bauman, with several other per-1 sons, was engaged in working at the J home of August Walters, in Union ! township, baleing hay. Something - went wrong with the machinery and going to the baler, Mr. Bauman thrust his right hand Into a narrow’ opening . to clean it out, and while doing this -a heavy plunger jammed his arm, crushing and bruising it in a very . painful manner. The wrist was badly I cut, and further up the armthe flesh , was grabbed and shoved entirely back ’ to the elbow, making a horrible sight. , Dr. D. D. Clark was at once sent for and the Injured man taken to his home at Monmouth, he and the doctor arrlv- ’ Ing at the home at the same time. The ’ injured member was dressed and the flesh put back in the proper place, but it was so badly swollen that nothing ’ could be determined as to whether or not any bones had been broken. This morning an X-ray taken by Dr. Co1 verdale and Dr. Clark at the former’s 1 office, showed that their were no bones broken and that all joints were In their proper place. Although very sore and suffering Intense pain the 1 wound will heal all right, but It will be some time before the arm can be used. To add to their list of sorrows, this ; morning, while they were engaged in ' dressing the arm of Mr. Bauman, a ■ message was received by the family ;’ from Aberdeen, South Dakota, telling ; that Mrs. Bauman’s brother's wife, Mrs. Lee Fulleton, and infant child, had passed away on Monday and the ’ funeral would be held at that place , Thursday morning. Just last fall Mrs. Bauman's mother, who had bee* making an extended visit at the Bauman home, was operated upon and this . spring died from pneumonia. Five wedks ago, Mrs. Bauman, herself, un- ' derwent a triple operation, and at the ’ present time is just able to sit up. ! The sad accident to her husband ’ and the news of the deaths, which 1 came to them this morning has indeed ’ been more than their share, and the 1 home, although as cheerful as would be expected under their many trials ’ presents a sad spectacle.
