August Drews, the democratic candidate for sheriff, is a native of this county. He was born and reared at Mishicot, where he attended the public schools. He is about forty years old.
For the past two years he has been a resident of this city. During the last twelve years, preceding his removal to Manitowoc, he was proprietor of the Drews Hotel at Mishicot, and prior to the time of his engaging in the hotel business he was an agent for farm machinery. At present he is employed by the Eagle Manufacturing company of Appleton.
He is in every way well fitted for the office of sheriff and merits the hearty support of the democratic voters of the county.

Aug. Drews of Mishicot was quite severely injured last Wednesday in a
runaway. He had stepped into his buggy for a drive but before he could
grasp the reins his team started off on a run. He was thrown out and
dragged for some distance and was severely bruised, especially about his
face and shoulders.

MISHICOT NEWS
Mr. and Mrs. Aug. Drews and a party of 3 ladies and 3 gentlemen friends of
Milwaukee, started out early this morning on a fishing tour, but when they got
on the steep hill near the saw mill, about 2 miles out from Mishicot, the neck
yoke straps broke and the spirited team of blacks plunged wildly down the steep
incline. Had it not been for the cool head and extraordinary presence of mind
of Mr. J.A. Nelson, who was driving, it is highly probable that the entire party
would have been dashed to pieces on the large rocks below. As it was, Nelson
swung the colts from one side of the road to the other until he finally succeeded
in overturning the bus and spilling out the occupants who all escaped injury
beyond a few bruises with the single exception of Mr. Nelson who is quite seriously
hurt. After the collapse the horses broke away from the wagon but stopped on the
other side of the bridge. A carriage was secured by Mr. Drews and Mr. Nelson was
taken to Mishicot where, he is now resting easily under the care of Dr. Karnoff,
although it will be many weeks before he will be out again. The entire party speak
in glowing tones of the courage Nelson displayed in sticking to his horses until
every one was safe. As it is, the accident was bad enough, but it is fearful to
contemplate what might have been.
