Montrose – About 6 o’clock on Tuesday a team, drawing a platform spring wagon, was seen to be tearing up Church street. When they reached Morris’ drug store, the right front wheel caught the right front wheel of W. W. Nash’s Ford delivery truck. The impact was so great that Miss Grace Gay was hurled ten or more feet into the air. She struck on the concrete pavement with great force, just back of the flying hoofs of the horses. Much to the astonishment of the eye-witnesses, Miss Gay stood up almost immediately. The thought had flashed across everyone’s mind that she was killed. The cause of the runaway was a loose neckyoke, which slipped back and caused the traces to drag. This frightened the spirited horses and they began running below Cooley’s store. Miss Gay sustained but slight injuries, her arm and hand being bruised. When the collision occurred, the front wheels became detached from the body of the wagon and the pole and other parts were broken. The horses were stopped a short distance up the street. Mr. Nash’s Ford was damaged slightly.

Herrick Center – The school building, together with all of its contents, was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning.

It is expected that the district will secure temporary quarters to continue school for the balance of the term.

BUTTER- The following is given as an improved method of preventing the bitter taste which butter has at this period of the year from cattle feeding on turnips, cabbages, leaves of trees, &c. Boil two ounces of salt petre in a quart of water and put 2 or more spoonfuls according to the quantity of milk into a pail, before milking; if this is done constantly, it will prevent the taste of turnips, but will not be effected if even once neglected. This has been proved by twenty years experience, and if it does not succeed, the farmers may rest assured that the fault arises from the neglect of the dairymaid.
