vile. Md, who for so many years was
the homeopathic practitioner here, has
returned to Middletown, where he will
resume his practice He is a skilful and
successful physician, and during his resi-
dence here had the esteem and conf
dence not only of his patrons but of the
whole community. His old friends give
him cordial welcome.
Mrs. Mortimer Records and Mrs.
Harmon, of Baltimore, came near a
serious accident while driving down the
hill at Blackbiad, Sunday. The horse,
becoming frightened, ran away, throwing
the ladies out with such force rs to rem
der Mrs. Records unconscious. She was
carried to her sisters home in Blackbird

and takes lively interest in the affairs of
life, reads the papers and is we'll informed
on current topics. She has known many
vicissitudes in life, but her spirit is bright.
and dauntless, and the weight of her more
than four score years does not bow her
down. She is frequently seen on the street
and..at church, and in many ways manifests
her interest in public affairs.
The Katydids are still arguing the same
old question of Katie's guilt and katy
Did" and Katy Didn't" are the sum of the
evidence for and against. 1t would be in
teresting to know what it is Katie is accused
of. Some inquiring minds have investiga-
ted the case, but the data is very fragmen-
tary. One thing sure, she was bewitch-
ing creature, and wherever her soft eyes
glanced there was mischief wrought.
Whether "she did" it or not, it has never
been proven, and the case will probably
never be decided in the elfn courts.
Frank Duncan. who has been living
retired life at New Castle with Sheriff Gillis |
for some months, was released on Saturday
but returned again on Tuesday, but not of
his own will. His pugilistic tendencies, ag-
gravated by drink are the cause of his trou-
BILE. His offence this time was an unpro-
voked attack upon an inoffensive little Ger
man, and the penalty is another six months |
in Jail and 800 fine. Duncan is a large
and powerful man, and besides having |
served several terms in Jail he has twice |
served the State as a special constable at |
election time, and was stationed at Middle |
town last year.

Bob himself, the monarch of all clowns is |

To Consolidate.

The incorporators of the Bombay Hook
Land Improvement and Transportation
company are considering the matter of con-
solidating with the Milford and Dover
Trolley Line Company. as it is believed
that the consolidated companies will make
better paying investment, and will give
both companies a through route from
Milford to Philadelphia. The new project
was discussed and favorably considered at
the meeting held at Woodland Beach last
week, at which George B. Money presided
and E. R. Cochran Sr. was secretary. Over
$4,000 is already subscribed, and there is no
trouble in getting stock holders. AS soon
as the consolidation matter is settled work
will begin.

CRUSHED BY THE CARS
The Distressing Accident Which Befel
Matt PiSkO.
NEW YEARS BAD BEGINNING
While Walking Along the Track
Near the Concentrator at Great
Falls He Was Run Down
and Badly Injured.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 1.-Matt Fisko, who
until recently worked in the boiler repair
ing shop at the Boston & Montana
smelter, was run over by two fat cars and
a switch engine this morning as he was
walking along the track between the
power house and the concentration. He
had the collar of his overcoat turned up
which prevented him from hearing the
cars approaching behind HIM.
Foreman Young of the switching crew,
who was standing near, yelled TO Fisko,
but the unfortunate man seems to have
been bewildered by the noise of escaping
steam and the rattle of the cables which
transmit power to the big smelter, for he
paid no attention TO the warning. The
engineer tried hard to slacken the speed
of his train, but it was too late.
The end of the fiat car struck Fisko in
the back, knocking him down, and the
wheels OIL the inside of both tho cars and
engine passed over his legs. An ambu-
lance was procured and the wounded man
removed TO the Columbus hospital. The
bone in the left leg was crushed about tho
middle of the thigh, while the right leg
was similarly injured below the knee.
Amputation in both cases was necessary.
His condition is considered critical.
Fisko is about 30 years of age and has
worked for the company for about four
years. He was laid off just before Christ
mas, and when injured was starting for
home after an unsuccessful application
for work
