A Severe AccIdeAt.-James kissing
er met with a severe accident at
Adams & Letterhos' Planning Fac
tory, Friday last. He was putting a
belt on the pulley of tennOning ma
chine, when one OF the knives struck
his right arm, bstween the wrist and
elbow, and inflicted a terrible wound.
The flesh was cleanly cut out four in
ches in length and half an inch wide,
and about the same length and width
of bone, nearly a quarter of an inch
deep, was cut ont. The wound was
promptly dressed by DR.. Hovey, and
it is probable that in due time the
arm will be as good as new. 1t was a
very painful wound, and Mr.. Kissing
er suffered severly by it. He had but
just recovered from a severe accident
in which he had several of his fingers
badly cut with circular saw. 1t is ev-
ident that this is his "off year"in luck,
as it was the ''off year" in politics
with the Republicans.

All are most cordially invited to be

Anumber of idle railroad laborers
have been laying around here for two
or three weeks and with the assis-
tance Of whisky have made the police
business very lively. we are happy
to say that most of them are leaving.
Monday, several of them got into a
row in Hartnett's saloon and in the
melee stones and other missiles were
used freely. Hartnett received a
severe cut in the head as did several
other men, and bruised faces and
severely admonished" noses were
plenty. Six were put in the calaboose
and on Tuesday were loaded with
ball and chain aud set to work.
We are glat to be able to say that
in most Of these fights none of our
'home talent" took part. Tifin is
reasonably quiet town except when
outsiders come in and create disturb
ances.
hams Changed.-fhe name of
''Burkhardt's Band" has been
changed to Harmonic Band. The
Orchestra connected with it is called
