\ party of bummers got On big
spree, at Fostoria, week ago TUESDAY.
and after making night hideous with
their yells and shrieks for some time,
finally went to noted house Of infImy
to continue their spree. But the valiant
police force were wide-a-wake, and soon
made a raid on the establishment, cap
turing most of the gang, not, however,
without desperate struggle. The dis
turbers were all tried and fined the
next morning, and tits supposed bum
mers will give Fostoria wide berth, in
the future.
\ severe and dangerous surgical Ope
ration was successfully performed last
week, on Mr. David Lugibihl, who re-
sides near Bluffton. DR. YOder, of Lima
assisted by other members of the profes-
sion, amputated the right leg of that gen
tlemon, and although he is sixty years
old, the operation was done so skillfully
that it is expected Mr. !. viii soon be on
his pins again.
Bluffton is excited over the water mel
on thiefquestion. Several parties have
had their gardens entered lately, in that
place, and had melons stolen. The most
exasperating part of the whole business
is, the fact that only choice melons are
taken, thus evincing that the marauders
have the sense of discrimination well de-
veloped.
Michael Zimmerman, "a bUtcher) Of
Lima, was severely gored by an OK, ON
the 25th inst, as he was in the act OfsIc
rificing the bovine for his customers.
The animal thrust one of its horns into
the right side of of Mr. Il and made n
dreadful cash, besides breaking one or
two ribs. 1t was certainly a narrow es-
cape for him.
On the 9th inst, the barn belonging
to Mr. Timothy Cosy, near Upper san
dusky, was totally consumed by fire.
The building contained large quantity
of hay and grain, besides all his farming
implements, and the loss is quite heavy,
but partly covered by insurance. The
barn is supposed to have been fired by
an incendiary.
The lovers Of scandal, at Upper san
dusky, we're on tip-toe a few days since
in expectancy that the details Of a bas
tardly case would soon be ventilated,
and as said details were supposed TO be
rich" much disappointment and cha
grin was experienced when it was learn
ell that the affair bad been amicably set
settled between the parties, by a marital
alliance consunmated the day the trial
was to have taken place. There was no
trial
A sad accident occurred in Jackson
township, WyandOt county on the 27ih
inst, the little son Of Isaac Guthrie was
left in charge Of team of horses, while
his father ard hired man went into an
field The flies became trouble
some and so annoyed the horses hat
they ran away, throwing the brave little
fellow out. although he held onto the
reins as long as possible. The wheel9
passed over his bowels, and he died from
the effects in few hours.
\ most distressing accident occurred
near Beaver Dam, on the 2Gth inst. ~
Mr. Burns, Of that place was riding in
the afternoon, his little child, who ac-
companied him, fell out Of the wagon.
and was instantly killed, two Of the
wheels passed over its body. 1t seems
the child was standing up, and one Of
the wheels suddenly slipped into rut,
jolted the vehicle 50 that the little one
lost its balance.
Mr. Thomas Swarder and Sarah Blair
were solemly united in marriage Aug
18th 1897, and as Saturday was the ffti-
eth anniversary, it was decided to cele-
brate that event by a golden wedding.
And this took place at their home about
four miles from Tiffin. 1t is reported
one ofthe most enjoyable occasions that
ever transpired in thatlocality. \ great
many "reminiscences Of pioneer times
we're given, and the guests viii long, re-
member the pleasant gathering.
As the north bound passenger train on
he C 5 & C Ry was entering Bellef0nt-
line, on the 23d inst, Sylyanus Kelly, Of
Fremont, was sitting by the window in
,ne of the cars with his right arm partly
extended outside. Suddenly the train
1assed close by a freight car and as the
,oach he was in happened to be some-
what wider than the others, his right
Irm was caught and fearfUlly mangled.
Medical attendance was soon procured,
nut it was found necessary to amputate
he limb close to his shoulder. He Is
lowly recovering, but considerable
blame isattached to the rail road authori-
les for allowing cars to be in such close
lnd dangerous proximity to each other.
