Chapman Courier.
An old farmer named Perry who
lives in this neighborhood had the mis-
fortune while in town last Monday to
have his leg broken. His horses ran
away, and in trying to stop them he fell
down. The wheels passed over his leg
and broke it below the knee. Mr. Perry
was carried into DR.. Caulk' drug store,
where his leg was set, after which DR..
Caulk put him into sled and took
him to his home.-CaIlton Advocate.
w. II. Roe, our enterprising hard
ware merchant, has recently disposed
of his business in this city, and will
shortly move to Abilene, having formed
a partnership with John Dunlavy of
that city in the wholesale and retail
hardware line. Mr.. Roe has been one
of our most popular merchants and his
many friends and customers will re-
greet his departure from Chapman.
We are firm in the conviction, however,
that while we lose Mr.. Roe, our county
seat will gain an energetic, honorable
and courteous merchant and an excel
lent citizen. The Courier wishes him
success in his new field.-Chapman
Courier.
Rev. Abiel Leonard, pastor of Trinity
Episcopal church at AtchiSOn, has ten
dered his resignation to take effect
January 81. He will probably be con-
secrated Missionary BishOpOf Utah and
Nevada some time in January, and
leave for his work in the early part of
February. 1t is thought that Bishop
Talbot, lifelong friend and intimate
companion of Bishop Leonard, will
preach the sermon. Bishop Talbot and
Bishop Leonard were born in the same
town, studied side by side in the same
classes in school and graduated from
the same college and seminary at the
same time. Each performed the mar
rage service for the other, and are now
to be Bishops for adjoining dieceses.
