A GREENE COUNTY SoMNAMBULIsT
SEVERELY HURT-The Waynesbure
Democrat of last week tells as follows
how well known citizen got hurt:
William Ankrom, highly respected
young man who resides near Hol-
brook, Greene county, met with an
experience on Friday night last which
we'll nigh cost him his life. Mr..
Ankrom from childhood has been
somewhat of a somnambulist, and on
various occasions had been rescued
from perilous places by his friends,
while he was walking in his sleep.
On the night named about II o'clock
his wife was awakened by shrek
of pain and found her husband living
PROSTATE on the floor few feet from
the bed groaning as though in great
bodily pain. Going to his aid, she
ascertained that he had received Sc
we're injuries. DR.. Burris was immed-
lately summoned who ON examina-
ton found that he (Ankrom) had
broken three of his ribs on his right
side, and was otherwise bruised and
hurt. 1t appears that Mr.. Ankrom
had been dreaming that he was haul
ing and rolling logs, when one of the
large logs had started down steep
incline towards him and he leaped
as high and as far as he could in or
der to get out of it's way. And as is
frequently the case, the impression
OF danger was so vivid that he leaped
out of the bed and striking the sharp
corner of the bureau was injured in
the manner stated above. At this
writing we learn that Mr.. Ankrom is
improving as rapidly as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances.

REPORTS from the west side of
petty thefts are numerous. A few
nights ago some thieves husked
out and carried off a lot of corn for
one of Major Martins neighbors;
soon after they made raid upon the
Majors flock of geese, taking sew
eral of them. And still later the
same gang carried away a good part
Of Jump" Finnel's corn, near Gran
vile. A summary stop could and
should be put upon such things. 1t
is an outrage that set of lazy
worthless loafers, who toll not, Meth
er do they spin, should live at the
expense of the provident and indus
trious.

REPORTS regarding the present con-
dition of the wheat crop vary in diff
ferent localities. Last weeks GEM
as Of Liberty says: Although be-
fore this last snow the wheat through
out this region suffered, yet now it
is warm in it's wintry cloak, and if
no mishap befalls it in the way of
hard bare freezes or late frosts the
local crop promises to be fair.
Throughout the West, however, it
has been well protected with snow,
and this continuing is worth from 5
to 10 bushels to the acre. The
trouble is that when growing under
the snow it becomes exceptionally
tender, and is more easily frozen
when the snow is gone. 1t is pre-
dicted that if the Gods are propi-
tious, with the present outlook,
bread will sell for a penny loaf
this year.

SQUIRE JAMES E. DENT SERIOUSLY
HURT BY Snow BALL.-One day
last week James E. Dent, well
known citizen, living near Granville,
while in Morgantown, standing on
the corner of the street, near Hitch
ems store, was hit above the right
eye with a snow ball, thrown by a
lad named Henry Cunningham, who
was standing on the opposite side of
the street. Mr.. Dent, soon after be-
ing hit, tainted, and is now suffering
intensely from both eyes. His doc
tor compels him to remain in room
where the light is excluded, and says
extreme care will have to be taken or
he will loose both eyes. Such is the
result of snow balling on the streets.
The man who is quietly attending to
his own business is as liable to get
hit as the one at whom it was aimed,
if perchance it was not aimed at the
former in the first place. This ought
to be sufficient to induce the town
authorities to forbid forever snow
balling on the streets. Indeed it is
very strange that it was not prohib-
tied prior to this time before any one
had to suffer from such folly.

Hubbard Haring Killed 1t.
The members of the general committee of

to make arrangements for the state annual

quarters in the Syndicate block. AS Gov.
Hubbard has vetoed the bill passed by both
houses of the legislature appropri-
ating $1,000 to pay the ex-
penses ofsthe encampment, the committee
found that there was nothing for them to do,
and with reluctance abandoned the projected
reunion, adjourning without action. While
the committee as a body is opposed to max
ing any formal com plaint concerning the
governors surprising course, the individual
Indignation is strong and would occasion
ally show itself in spite of efforts to re-
press it.

Babb, ''about the governors ac-

from whom we expected opposition. This
much can be said and should be said The
citizens of Minneapolis had already offered

funds in the state treasury to meet the APP

bers of the G. A. r. do not wish to be quoted
upon the subject, and 1t need only be said
that we deeply regret the impossibility OF

MAGNIFICENT WHEEL WORK.

Bell Leads Nicholson and Reduces the
Record-A Stiff Race Nect.
The heats for positions in the bicycle race at
Washington rink last night developed as pretty
bicycle race as one would care to see. There
were four Standardization and Bell of
Minneapolis, Sawyer of Faribault and Ham
mill of Chicago-the four to race in pairs for
positions. Fully one thousand persons took
in the sport AND enjoyed it heartily. Nichol-
son and Bell took their places for the open
ing heat, and each was loudly
cheered as he took his position, the former
with Ridge racer and the latter with the
Star and both prime full of emulation. At
the word Nicholson took the lead and then
began an exciting race. 1t soon became
evident that Grant Bell was reserving his
strength and did not exert himself until the
thirty-tifth lap, when by beautiful squirt
and amid deafening cheers he took the lead.
Nicholson in the thirty-seyenth lap, or two
before the finish, thought the race
was over and stopped. Bell kept his
tremendous pace and crossed the five
mile line in the marvellous time of 17:02L,
or Az seconds below Nicholson's best ANA
teur record.
Hammill and Sawyer then came on, both
with Columbia machines. The latter got the
lead, but it was evident he could not keep
the pace. On the nineteenth lap Hammill
passed him, but the struggle was good one.
On the twenty-first Sawyers ma
chine slipped on the turn, and
though be quickly remounted, he
lost half lap, by which distance Hammill
led him at the finish. The time was 1857.
Tonight Bell and Hammill will try con-
illusions for the medal, championship and
$50. great deal of money will be wagered,
and it was said no small sum changed hands
on Bells victory over Nicholson, hitherto the
Northwestern champion.
