Henry Miller, brother of H. A.
Millor of Cottage Grovo, was killed
by a bull he had turned loose in
the barnynrd of his farm about 12
miles from Menoinonio, Wisconsin,
on January 20.
Death occurred
(about two hours after the injury.
¡The animal did not appear to be
I angry but made tho attack in a
playful mode.
Deceased had been sheriff of
Dunn county, Wisconsin, a menihor
of the county board imd of the
school board.
He was a well
known farmer of the region.
Henry Miller was born in Dodge
county, May 6, 1855. His parents,
William and Henrietta Miller, wero
natives of Germany pp-' were mar
ried in Dodge county after coining
[to this country. They sottled on a
¡homestead there, putting up a
house of split logs which was erec-
(ted by William Miller himself, the
' only cash expense incurred being
.that of a window frame which coat

Committees to Make Plans
at Meeting Tonight.
A meeting of the committees of
tho American l.ogion Auxiliary will
be held this evening to outline the
work of tho organixation for the
coining year. Committee members
will gather in the Edwards Picture
shop and chairmen of the various
groups, appointed by the Auxiliary
a few weeks ago, will explain the
work and discuss plans with the
members.
One of the most important piaus
which the Auxiliary has in mind
is the assistance of other civic
organizations in preparing for play­
ground work which may be taken
up in the city during the summer
months. The committee in ehargc
of this work is headed by Mrs.
J. H. Rhoads, and an outline of
the part the organization will take
in this playground work is exported
to be presented this evening.
One of the chief functions of
this committee will be to cooperate
with other organizations in boy
scout and girl scout work. Also
it may be possible to bring a
playground supervisor to Cottage
Grove during the summer.
The American Legion, in cooper­
ation with the Auxiliary, ii raising
funds for the construction of a
community house for the use of
the city. Considerable money has
already been raised for this pur­
pose and it is the plan of both
organizations to continue this work
during the coming year.
One of the first events sponsored
by the women will be a benefit
dance to be given next month
tho proceeds going into the fund
for the community house. Members
of both the Legion and the Aux­
iliary consider that a community
houso is ono of tho most needed
improvements in tho city at the
present time.
While the Auxiliary is already a
strong arganization with over 50 ac­
tive members it noverthless plant to
increase both its membership and
its activity during the coming year.
To thia end a membership drive
will be held early in the year
with the intention of increasing
the membership to 100. Plans for
a similar drive on the part of tho
Legion hikve already been announced.
Those membership drives are being
hold in connection with similar

can Legion Auxiliary posts of
the state.
