While Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hendrickson of Mineral Point were busy in their corn field, their three-year-old daughter, Elaine, climbed under the wagon and when the horses stepped forward a wheel passed over the child's leg, breaking the bone. Financial and legal factors have been completed and the building of the Savanna-Sabula highway bridge will start soon according to Oliver Matson, president of the Minneapolis Bridge Company. Enough stock has been sold to justify breaking ground. Caught by one foot in trap door and hanging face downward for 14 hours was the experiénce of James Hughes, Galena, one day last week. Hughes was discovered by a brother and rushed to a hospital where the leg was amputated. He will recover. Peter Everson, 72, Argyle farmer, escapjed death from an attack by a bull Sunday evening by crawling under a fence, after he received several broken ribs, a bruised neck, and a severe shaking up.

Deposits of good quality white onyx have been unearthed on the Walter Brown farm, 11 miles northwest of Richland Center, and Sylvanus & Co. of Milwaukee have taken a lease on the place and will open a quarry It is expected that the project will pay well if the deposits are extensive enough to warrant major operations. The onyx was SO plentiful on the farm that Mr. Brown used it for his cellar steps, not realizing that he was walking on a stone used to embellish kings' palaces. A running gun battle in the streets of Viroqua Sunday night ended with the injury of one man and the escape of another. T. C. Silbaugh, the fugitive, is charged with the stealing of an automobile. He returned to his home Sunday night and ordered his wife to go away with him. Mrs. Silbaugh called the sheriff. Silbaugh and Cal. Cox, a pal, were in the house when the sheriff arrived.

Officer Schwan recovered his badge when another officer arrested the thief. A drop of more than 50 per cent in hunting licenses issued in Rock county, below the 1930 figures, has been reported. The 1931 number was 1925, while this year only 935 were issued. The figures in various counties over the state, all show sharp declines. Robert Peterson, 16, Rhinelander, died Sunday from a bullet wound received the day before while he was playing cowboy with Burt Sturtz, a friend. The boys were riding ponies in a pasture and both carried rifles. Sturtz's gun discharged, the bullet striking Peterson.

A hidden wallet containing money and valuable papers was missed by the robbers.
Methods of handling Wisconsin's crops for threshing have changed in recent years. Years ago most of the grain was stacked or put in barns before being threshed but today 70% of It is threshed direct from the shocks and about 30% from stacks and barns. The combine used SO extensively in the west has hardly obtained a foothold in Wisconsin, the size of the plots probably not warranting the method.
