BOY PARALYZED WHEN HIT BY FALLING PIECE TIMBER
Mishicott Boy of 8 Victim of Accident at Home There
Erwin Zima, aged eight, is at the hospital in this city suffering 
from paralysis resulting from an accident which he met with at his 
home on a farm near Mishicot. The boy was struck by a falling timber 
of an old building which was being torn down and though at first not 
thought to have been seriously injured, a few hours later was found 
to be paralyzed and was brought to the city. 
The timber struck the lad in the back just below the shoulders and 
physicians believe that a blood clot formed. The paralysis has not 
affected the arms and upper portion of the body and the lad is able 
to walk and to eat. His condition has shown little improvement.

RESCUED FROM LAKE
Two local boys, Clarence Thompson and Roland Zinkel went to sea in a row boat 
Monday. When about a half mile off the harbor piers, their frail craft capsized. 
They clung to the upturned boat and prayed that their predicament would be 
noticed. Ross Wright, a light house tender saw them and went to their aid in a 
row boat. When he reached them they were about a mile off the piers. Zinkel was 
about all in and could not have held out much longer. Wright, exhausted from his 
hurried pull had difficulty getting the helpless lad into the Wright boat. 
Scarcely a summer passes without one or more incidents of this character. Boys 
have probably been like that since in all ages and doubtless always will be.

ARRIVE HERE FROM GERMAN AUSTRIA
First hand information about conditions in German Austria and Germany is given 
by two immigrants who arrived from German Austria Saturday. They are Miss Margaret 
Soit and her brother, George, sister and brother of Jos. Soit, tailor at Schneider 
Inc.
The journey occupied one month when they at last were overjoyed to greet their 
brother from this city who went to meet them at Milwaukee. The young people, who 
embarked at Breman, found conditions in Germany much worse than in Austria. An 
American dollar is worth 300,000 marks. It was worth about 5 marks before the great 
war. For a meal they paid about 15,000 marks each. The President of Germany receives 
a salary which in American money amounts to $27 a month. The Soits visited several 
of the principal cities of Germany. George and two brothers served during the war. 
Their brother, Joseph being enlisted on the apposing side. One brother was killed 
and the other wounded.
George was a wool buyer in the army which was not so hazardous. Miss Soit was employed 
at the "Schloss" of a baron, a high official in Austria whose home is considered 
luxurious and pretentious over there. However, she finds the ? home of her brother 
and the meals served here far in advance of the barons. The Soits are residing with 
their brother Joseph.
