Reprinted from old Courier files........1914. Sam PADGETT and wife came to Datto Monday in an auto and Mr. PADGETT in trying to light the lamps in front, exploded the carbide or gasoline and he came near meeting with his last days. The lamp struck his head and raised a lump the size of a hen egg. The crowd came to his rescue and after the application of a bucket of water, he went home all okay but with a severe headache. A crowd of merry picnickers went over on Black river the other day, pearling and wading and Misses Ora and Nellie GOWEN got in over their heads and came near drowning, and Mrs. Willie GOWEN, being frightened, jumped in to help the girls and all had to be helped out.
