A very fine horse belonging to Harry
Hemminger, of Frankford, while in the
pasture field, jumped over into a corn
field, where cultivator had been left
standing close to the fence. The horse,
in some way, struck one of the handles
of the cultivator which entered his
side, injuring him so badly that he died
In short time.
David Gross, young man residing on
the Irlndle Road, near Locust Point,
was severely kicked by horse last week.
The horse kicked with both hind feet
striking Gross in the stomach. He is
now lyipg in very critical condition
and his recovery Is considered doubtful.
On Saturday night last two of our
young men from Monroe twp, drove to
Carlisle putting their horse in the ward
at the Thudium House. When they
came to get him again he had broken
loose and was gone. Thinking he had
gone home they followed on foot but
upon arriving found no horse. They
took another team and returned to Car
Isle to find their horse at the hotel at
which they had left him, a man having
caught him some distance above town.
He had broken one shaft but beyond
this no damage was done nor was the
horse hurt. Each had then team to

The large Touring mill on the Como
doguinet creek, opposite Hoguestown,
known as the Butcher mill was destroy
ed by fire on Thursday morning of last
week. The mill contained over 5000
bushels of wheat besides other grain
and some flour. Besides the mill with
all its contents being destroyed, the saw
mill and the miller's house were also
burned, Mr.. Brenneman, the miller,
saving most of his household goods, yet
the loss falling upon him is severe. The
loss on the mill property was valued at
S1l 900, partly insured in the Allen and
East PennsborO' and Dover Companies.
This was the Oldest mill on the Conod o.
guinet creek, having been built in 1894.

On Monday morning as John Hubley
our borough lamp lighter, was coming
out of H. S. Landis' jewelry store, he
tainted, and in falling struck his face
against the edge of S. G. Hollar's mar
bic steps. His nose was badly broken,
and his face bruised. Owing to the
skillful treatment of DIR. Witherspoon,
it is thought he will not be dsfigured.
AT Shippensburg on Thursday morn
ing Henry Johnston, the wellknown
porter of the Sherman House, and Tom
Barnetts, porter of the Waverly House,
quarreled at the depot about some bag
gage. They came from words to blows,
and Barnetts broke Johnston's jaw in
three places. Barnetts was arrested and
sent to Carlisle Jail, but was released on
bail the next day. On Monday night
he was re-arrested and sent back to Jail
to await the result of Johnston's g ipju-
ries, which, it is feared, will prove
fatal.
