1.-Two weeks ago Monday while splitting
wood Earnest, young son of Wesley Dur
ham, cut his foot severely, completely sever
ing an artery causing it too bleed profusely.
The wound was dressed by DR.. Harrison, of
Napoleon. During the week it began bleed
ing several times but was checked with but
little difficulty. On Saturday morning it
broke afresh while he was asleep, and when
discovered he was very much exhausted, hav-
ing lost great deal of blood. He is consid-
cred out of danger andis improving.

daughter between 8 and years of age of A.
Tuttle fell into the cistern. Fortunately her

near by, Miss Minnie seeing her fall and Civ
ing the alarm she was rescued before life
was extinct. 1t was narrow escape as she
was in the cistern some time before she was
recovered, and had not the family seen her
descent she would have drowned. The pump
had been removed that day for repairs and
heavy board laid over the opening which the
little girl had raised to look down when the
weight of it overbalanced her.
