miehap last Monday afternoon, while
engaged In cutting wheat with q ma.
chine. He was passing along the side
Of rather steep hill, when one OF
the tongue horses stepped over the
slngletree OF the lead horses, which
caused them to start off at rapid
gait, overturning the machine and
throwing him distance of twelve OF
fifteen feet, fracturing two or three
OF his ribs and badly injuring his
bavk.
lie has since been unable to work,
but hopes TO come around all right in
g couple OF weeks. He fortunately is
favored with Kind neighbors, and MIR.
Way brought over his team and reaper
and binder. and last evening finished
cutting tho wheat, and Mr.. Pterson
Talley aided in hauling the sheaye Q
into the barn. Mr.. Hendrickson has
q Held Of grass to cut, and Mr.. Talley
has generously volunteered to assist
IN the work, and should the weather
prove fair on Monday he Will be on
hand.
The sons Of Mr.. H., John and Joseph,
are expected to give their assistance,
and with tho help OF Jacob TagEart, q
big lot OF hay will be secured. Kind
neighbors Will also. we presume, help
him to gather his oat crop.

Yesterday the REruBIcAs at the
request OF Mr.. g. A. Harvey, President
OF tho Mccullough Iron Company,
gave his statement In denial that his
company had ct the present time any
notion OF going into the manufacture
o. tin.plate at tho companyis plant In
tn city.
The REPUBLICAN having first pub
lished the account OF the projected
enterprise, was very much surprised
at strenuous denial of the project In
q morning paper yesterday. and to see
It still farther denied In an evening
paper.
The REpUBLIcAN at first thought It
had been misinformed. but now 1t
finds that all along 1t has boon sub
stantially correct, and the starring of
tln-plate mandatory had been
talked OF for long time and was
even now in contemplation. This In
formation came from two gentlemen
who are closely connected with and
identified with the company.
No nllusion would be made to the
matter at this time. were it for the
strong denials through two papers,
tending to show that the projected
tin-plate mandatory only existed In
the mind OF the REPuRLIoAN. TiIne
Will show which was right.
