Mr. Edward Huston one of our most
highly respected citizens met with a
serious if not fatal accident on Monday
morning. As he was letting bull out
of the barn his leg became entangled
with chain which was around his neck
and he was thrown violently to the
ground striking his head on rock and
rendering him linsensible. DR.. Andrew
was called at once and he was made as
comfortable as possible but did not re-
cover consciousness for some time.
While he was down the animal stepped
on him and it is feared that he is injured
internally but to what extent'is not yet
ascertained. At late hour Monday
night he was alive but with the chances
against his recovery. His family haye
the sympathy of all in their misfortune.
Herman Wilson and family of Cumber-

Thursday night the king. who is not yet eigh-

him, but today the king is king, while those who

past that the governmental situation was becon,-
