Fennimore Times:-Tuesday evening,
about 6 o'clock, as Fred Kemper. who
lives a few miles south of here, was on
bis way home from Bnscobel, his horse,
a spirited animal, took fright at the
narrow guage engine standing at the de-
pot and gave jump, Mr.. Kemper hold

broke and let the cart strike the animal,
which bounded toward throwing Mr.
X. OF his guard, and ran down Main
street very fast. Fisher ran out of his
blacksmith shop and grabbed the horse
by the bride, but it had no effect, as
the animal knocked him down and the
cart passed over him, quite severely
hurting his right leg The horse than

ly that if they don't like this country as
it is, they must keep out of it. They
will be welcome so long as they behave

Accompanied by his best girl he met
the hostess at the door and after the
usual salutations asked after the baby's

that though she had one every winter.
this is the worst one she had ever had;
it kept her awake nights good deal
at first and confined her to her bed.
Then noticing that the scribe was get

tell by his looks that he was going to
have one Just like hers, and asked him
