Miss Ella Young, a daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. A. A. Young, living some six miles
from this:citv, was drowned in the Kama
wha river, at Charleston, West Virginia,
on Thursday, April 10.
Miss Young has been visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Beattie, for several months. Thurs
day afternoon she went to Mrs. Cora
Quarters for q weeks VISIT. About 8
o'clock that evening, Alex w. Quarter,
the oldest son of her hostess, and Miss
Young started off to cake a boat ride.
That was the last ever seen Of the two
young people. How the accident occurred
will probably never be known, but they
were suddenly and without a moments
warning clutched by the cruel depths Of a
ruthless food and buried deep, perhaps
there to await the resurrection morn.
Daily we read of death and disaster and
our eyes are almost panied by the fateful
recurrence. But when some direful event
like this which takes from our midst one
of our fairest daughters, just developed
from girlhood into the perfected flower OF
womanly grace, while life seemingly
stretched out before her bright with
promise, our hearts go out in sympa-
thy for the bereaved and distressed par
ents, sisters and brothers, and the entire
community mourns her untimely fate,
She was educated at Central College and
was an accomplished musician. She was
a loving sister, a devoted daughter, and {
conscientious Christian.
Every effort has been made to recove1
the bodies, but beyond the finding of thu
boat and a broken oar, all efforts hav'
been in vain.

A literary and musical entertainment
was ,given at Hagen's opera house, Tues
day evening, under the auspices of the
ladies Of Christ (Episcopal) church. in
which Miss Lucia B. Griffin, the celebra-
ted character impersonator and elocu-
zionist, and lacal talent participated.
Notwithstanding the very bad weather
the house was filled to its utmost capacity
and those in attendance were amply re-
paid for the inconvenience experienced in
going to and from the opera house.
Miss Griffin opened the program with a
very catchy piece and the audience was
delighted. Its admiration for Miss Griffin
continued throughout the evening.
The solos, quartettes, music by the
Mandolin Club and harp solo by Miss
Dubois were all so meritorious as 20
deserve e~xtendeded notice, but lack OF
space prevents us entering into detail.
Suffice it to say that each number on The
program ELECTED loud applause from a
highly pleased audience.
The entertainment was a decided sue
cess, financially as we'll as otherwise, the
gross receipts being 500, with but little
expense.
The ladies OF the church who so sue
cessfully conducted this entertainment,
giving excellent satisfaction, deserve
credit for their efforts and we trust this
will not be the last one of the kind.
We understand Miss Griffin will remain
here for a time and give Instructions TO q
class In %elocution.
The INTELLIaENoER is requested by the
promoters of this entertainment to return
their sincere thanks to Misses Lucille
Dubois, Berta Richardson and Birdie
Wallace, the Mandolin Club, the Tyrolian
Quartette, Mr.. Talbot Simpson and Prof
Rooster, for their assistance in making
the entertainment a success.

"Old Nick' may be said to be fairly 'in
1t" this year. We hear of cyclones, wind
storms, ~tornadoes, waterspouts, earth
quakes and Jim jams generally. Now old
Jupiter Tonans is pulling into the game
and taking a hand.
Last Tuesday afternoon the hands on
the farm of Mr.. Nathan Corder, seeing a
heavy rain approaching, concluded to
adjourn to the barn. Unhitching their
teams they started, allowing a fine mule
to go on ahead. AS they were vending
their way across the field there came o
binding flash of lightning, followed by a
terrific explosion of electricity. The mule
referred to was struck by the fluid and
instantly killed. One OF the men, named
Reuben Schaffer, who was fifty feet from
the mule WA SO shocked by the conclusion
that he fell af is dead. He was picked up
and carried to the barn, where, after an
hours hard work, he was restored to con-
seriousness. His lips were burst and
blood spurted out. He had signs of
bruises on his temple and back of his ear.
Every member of the party was more or
less shocked. The lightning after striking
the mule demolished two fence posts heal
by and then went out.

CRUSHED BY A SAWLOG

The young man mentioned in the IN
TELLIaENCER last week, as meeting with
the sad accident, was no other than
Marvin c.. Hammer, aged twenty-oue
years, son OF Joseph Hammer and grand
son OF the late DIR. Mcdaniel E. Mitchell.
1t is a mystery to everyone that he was
not killed. On Monday, April Sd, he with
his hired man, Mack Gravens, went about
three miles from home to haul sawlogs
to the Rankin mill, situated one-half
mile distant. They loaded n log four
teen feet long, containing two hundred
feet of lumber. Marvin was astraddle the
log holding the lines of the wheel horses,
while Mack was walking in front driving
the leaders. He heard Marvin say whoa!
The horses stopped that moment. The
hook on the chain had sprung and that
let it slip out of the link; the log went to
the ground carrying the young man with
it. 1t began at his feet and rolled the
entire length OF his body, stopping on his
breast, pushing his chin upward. Mack,
as quick as thought, hitched a team to
the log and pulled it off of him and he lay
there perfectly motionless, with the blood
oozing from every pore in his face and
neck, the froth and blood squirting from
his mouth and nostrils. Help soon arriv-
ed and he was carried to the nearest
house; life began to return to him but 1t
was awful to see him writhing in his
agony. DR.. Mann, of Wellington, and
DIR. Williams of Odessa, arrived as quick
ly as possible, and found several ribs
broken in his right side and two or three
torn from the breast bone Just over the
lung; there was also a rib broken in his
left side. 1t was thought best to take him
home the same day, which was done, DR..
Mann staying with him until near mid
night when consciousness began to
return, and by morning his mind vas
clear. He is still confined to his bed and
mending fast; his right arm was badly
hurt but the swelling has one down,
and he will get well; his right hand is
paralyzed, but time it is hoped will
restore it to its usefulness. When was
there ever such kindness and sympathy
shown-everYone wanted to do something
for him; friends came far M near to see
and all were surprised and rejoiced to
know he would get well. / know Marvin

heart for Mack, who SO thoughtfully
saved his life.
