General Superintendent Kicker and Divis.
ion Superintendent Hardy made trip to the
Valley last Thursday in the formers private
car. During their stay the Arcadia House
property was inspected, but we are not adj
vIsed as to what was the conclusion reached
In regard to repairing and opening the house
this fall. They also viewed the bridge acros.
Stout's creek and decided a new structure
would have to take the place of the old
bridge, and that without delay. We are OF
the same opinion and are oyeljoyed that the
''powers that be" are, for once, of the same
mind as we are.
| Somebody attempted to force an entrance
| in the Bonanza last Friday night about
| twelve O'Clock. Ellis Dillon was passing
| the store about that hour when he observed
a couple of unknown individuals rather sus-
piceusly lettering around. Mr.. D. resolved
to keep an eye on the strangers. In min-
| ute or two he saw enough to confirm his
suspicious and he went down to the hotel
and awakened Mr.. Logan. They then called
Constable Patton and the three started for
the Bonanza, but by the time they reached
there the would-be thieves had taken the
alarm and skipped out. An examination
showed that hole had been bored throu Oh
the back door with an auger, and that an
attempt had been made to pry the cellar
door open. 1t Is quite likely that but for
Mr.. Dillon's timely arrival the burglars
would have effected an entrance and helped
themselves.
A runaway with somewhat serious results
occurred in the north end of town Yesterday
afternoon about FIVE O'Clock. Mrs. Louis
Burch was driving double team along
Main Street near Reese Bros. Store when
the tongue of the wagon slipped out of the
the breast yoke and fell to the ground. This
frightened the horses and they both dashed
"A 90 AAi SPNeo WIZ oSeP 9ueeSh vi
the east side of the street at that place and
pulling the wagon with the tongue sliding
on the ground after them. Mrs. B. endeav-
ored to check the frightened steeds but be-
fore she was able to do so was thrown vio-
lently out Of the wagon, alighting on her
head and receiving injuries which rendered
her unconscious. She was taken to neigh
boring house and after some time recovered
her senses, but at this time it is impossible
to state the extent of her injuries. Some
obstacle impeded the progress of the team
just as Mrs. B. was thrown out of the wagon |
OF the accident would likely have proven
much worse, as she aiighted directly in front |
Of the wheels, and had the horses poceeded |
q few feet further the result would doubt
less have been fatal. The horses suffered |
few slight bruises, but escaped serious mis-
hap.
How good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity. We are
moved to so declare after reading the fol-
lowing from last Thursdays ReDubHc:
