                            AUTO ACCIDENT SATURDAY

    Last Saturday evening at about 10:20, while in the act of turning his
car around to come back to Rib lake, on the road past Henry Niggemann's
farm, Postmaster Voemastek had a spill.  The car got off the road and went
into the ditch and fell on its side.  The occupants were Mr. Voemastek and
his son Raymond and daughter Gladys, and Miss Anna Gnotke and Mrs. Claude
Shelly.  All escaped injury except Mrs. Shelly, who bruised her back on
the rail of the door.  Nothing on the car was broken or bent, even the
paint was not scratched.  With the assistance of Henry Niggemann and his
sons, and John Meyer, George Martin and others, who happened to be along
about that time, the car was righted, pulled onto the road with
Niggemann's team and by 11:45 all were back to town again.  Mr. Voemastek
says this has been his most trying experience in all the years he has
owned an automobile and hopes it is the last. He hereby wishes to thank
all who helped him in this difficulty, especially the Henry Niggemann
family.
