Dr.. G. S. Rose accompanied Nj AUSTIN
Charles to Ann Arbor last week Tor the pur-
pose OF having DR., Mclean, OF he Medical de-
partmen' OF the University, examine and pass
upon his case in professional way. !. will be
remembered that M. Charles was Injured in
| the lower part Of his spinal column a year and
half ago, in an accident occurring or the
Southern Pacific r. r., since which time ne has
been an almost helpless cripple. His fight
| limb is totally paralyzed and other portions Of
his body also. Mr.. Charles has sued the r. x.
Company, laying his damages at $4,000, and
the cause will soon come on for trial at st.
Paul, Minn., in the L. S. Court for the dis
trict OF Minnesota. DR.. Rose has had charge
OF the case from the beginning, and has had
the counsel OF DR.. j. Andrews, Of Paw Paw,
IN the case also. The case il one Of those
puzzling and mysterious once over which sur
geons Of acknowledged ability often dispute,
and IN this case one OF the leading surgeons If
Chicago, saw ht to take issue, in some res
poets a. least, with DR.. Roses theory Of the
case. Il is with very natural satisfaction, there
fore, tha. DR.. Rose finds DR.. Mclean as he did
DR.. Andrews also, maintaining the same theory
in diagnosis and treatment which he had ad-
vanced and pursued hImself. Mr.. Charles iu-
jury and rs results, are matters Of Interest 20
the public as is also his pending suit and its
result. The verdict in the latter Will lie await
ed with interest.
Geo. Thompson has rented the ty1t floor Of
Jerome Coleman's building, and s now having
it put in shape for the best barber shop in the
county. Thompson is little fellow but in all
essential respects he weighs an absolute ton,
not to say 2l00 weight. He has also proven
himself to be good citizen, good neighbor
and good fellow generally, since he hss lived
in Decatur.
L. A. Roberts is again suffering greatly from
a reopening OF his old army wound in h.s hand
He has endured a vast amount OF suffering
from that same trouble and we hope soon that
he may get permanent relief.
We lately saw John L. Harrison with benign
and seraphic smile on hrs benovlent features,
and soon after found the cause thereof to be
the fact that two gentlemen OF opposite polit-
ical views from bis own were just paving hlm
their election bets. Mr.. Oscar Adams, OF Keel
er, bought John L. an extra good pair or calf
skin boots, and Theodore Hayden, Esg., OF
Decatur, bought him a fine dress hat. These
gentlemen are OF the kind who whack up
promptly when they are caught in the rain, aud
they do 80 without growing. Messrs. +. ".
and Theo. Chadwick wore pleasant smiles also,
for the bets we're paid at their Decatur sstab-
lishment.
The Rev. Mr.. Noerr, from central Illinois,
bas been engaged as pastor of the Pfesbyter-
ian church of Decatur, and he has established
himself here. He occupies rooms al the resi-
dence of Mrs. Bugbee's on Delaware street.
Mr.. Noerr comes to this psstorate with recon-
mendations OF high order, and he is followed
here by the good wishes Of VIDE circle OF
friends in his former home. We believe, from
the knowledge we have OF this gentlemen, that
the people OF Decatur are fortunate in the fact
OF his advent among them.
