Monday seems to have been runaway
day, as there were two serious ones
about O'Clock in the afternoon.
C. e. Whitney was driving to town
with u spirited team Of young horses,
when they got away with him in the
suburbs and came dashing nto town
with lightning speed. When opposite
l. p. DLrfee's residence on 5th Av. the
seat in the wagon gave way and Mr..
Whitney was thrown out and badly
stunned and bruised. lie was taken
to DR.. BARRIERS residence for repairs.
An examination showed that one
thumb was dislocated, shoulder badly
bruised and face cut. Mr.. Whitney
was able to return to his homo Tues.
day evening. The team was caught
and found uninjured, but tho wagon
was badly damaged.
Soon after the accident to Mr.. Whit
ney, Dr. Barber was sent for to visit an
unknown man at the farm Of j. G.
Boldly. the former People place on the
I.uverne road. The facts in this case
are about as follows:
About 4 O'Clock Monday afternoon
an unknown man passed Mr.. Boddy's
house standing up in wagon and lash.
ing his team. He spoke to Mr.. B. and
rushed past. The team slowed up af.
ter passing. About half an hour after
wardskhe man was found lying in the
road near the Lambert place badly
hurt. lie was taken to Mr.. Doddy's
house, where he now lies. His right
eye is knocked out, face cut, spine in
jured, and one side is paralyzed. He
has been unconscious and his name
and residence are unknown. A note
book found in his pocket gave the
name of jeremiah Conan, Aurora,
Oak. A letter found in his valise,
however. gives another name.
Papers found on him showed bust.
ness transactions at Luverne and Owa-
tonna. DR.. Barber telegrapl'ed to all
tho points named, but so far no clue
has been obtained by which to identify
the man.
lie is about 80 years oil, we'll dress
ed, whiskcrs except on chin. Had
about SOS in money on his person.
The team Was caught by Charley
Moore, where they now are, and the
wagon was not materially damaged.
Since the above was written, We have
seen DR.. Barber. who has just returned
from visi: to the injured man. lie is
still unconscious. The DR.. received
yesterday despatch from Bushnell,
OAK, from Frank Conan, saying lie
would come rs soon as possible. he is
probably brother to the man. We
learn also that one of Mr.. Boddy's boys
saw the man fall out of his wagon and
strike on his head.
Worth, of Paris, has decided in favor
Of hoops, but they come in use slowly.
In this country everybody has decided
that DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup is the best
remedy for coughs and colds, and it's
coming fast into general use.
We have heard several good ones re-
Gently about some little folks. A sev-
en.year old boy started out the other
day with All ulster and a hood on. A
man hailed him and said. ''whose little
girl are you?" The boy looked aston.
isl,cd and confused for moment, and
then, without saying a word. pulled up
his ulster and showed lis pantaloons,
as much rs to say, docs them look
like \ girl's?''
A little girl went into the house and
reported that man was at the door
with some chickens to sell. "Are they
dressed?" asked the mother. The girl
had noticed that they were cleaned,
and said: mo. They're addressed"
No other medicine has won for itself
