A new modern gymnasium is to be
opened in the basement of the Mo-
hawk Club by its young men members
who are Interested in that form
of athletics.
Permission of the directors of the
dub has been secured and they are
now actively engaged in organizing.
Various members, will donate such
pieces of equipment as they happen
t ohave, and subscriptions will be
taken, from those interested to purch-
ase other equipment necessary.
With the words to her sister-in-law
who was helping her cut down a tree,
‘We’ll have t° watch close now to see
which way it is going to fall,” scarcely
out of her mouth, Mrs. August Kann,
a young woman about twenty-two
years of age, was caught beneath the
trunk of the tree which fell unexpect-
edly, and crushed to the ground,
Thursday afternoon.
The companion gave the alarm and
men working nearby hastened to the
rescue, but limbs had to be cut away,
and it was fully fifteen minutes be-
fore the tree could be lifted from the
prostrate form of the unconscious wo
man. Mrs. Kann, who was formerly
*
Miss Lillie Hoffman, was rushed tP a
local hospital where it was found her
condition was precaurious, her back
having been dislocated by the inci-
dent.
Because of the fact that the men
folks are now very busy in the fields,
Mrs. Kano-and her sister-in-law had
conceived the plan of going to the pas
ture to cut trees so the cattle could
get to the moss for winter forage.
They had cut a tree the day before,
but had been cautioned by Mr. Kann
of the danger of a falling tree. The
high winds made the risk musuaU
great, and in spite of the precautions
taken the woman was caught, appar-
ently as she was running to try to es-
cape the tree. ,
Mrs. Kann was doing as well as
could be expected today.

CITY TAX COLLECTIONS
ARE GOOD SAYS THE
CITY TAX COLLECTOR
Collection of City taxes for the year
have been exceptionally good the total
amounting to $31,788.85, which ia less
than 98 per cent of the amount due^ ac-
t*> R. H. Preeton, city taMol
■j*- ---TV -'
lector.
In actual dollars and cents tee amount
of unpaid taxes is $620.09. In most cases
those who have not paid have failed
through carelessness, be said.
While collections ran a bit higher last
year, considering teat valuations have
been raised slightly and money is tight,
this year’s record is even better, Mr.
Preston thinks.
The total valuation of the city prop-
t
erty is $3,653,762, and the tax-rate 8?
cents. \
An increase of 3 cents was made for
the coming year by the City Council at
a meeting in order to finance the upkeep
of the streets. This will bring the tax-
rate fos 1922 up to 90 cents.
The raise in city valuations was made
necessary to meet the loss of the $2,000
occupation tax brought about by the
abolition of saloons.
