Mr.. Edward OSterhus, ST., of this place,
met with very dangerous and painful acct
dent on Friday morning of last week. AS he
was driving his team along the road one shaft
broke, a portion of it entering one of the
horse legs, inflicting an ug y wound. causing
the animal to become frightened, and, turning
suddenly around, demolished the two front
wheels of the carriage. The animal started to
run, dragging the occupant some distance, in
fictng severe wounds about his face and
skull, and sprainng his ankles, rendering him
unconscious for some time. When found he
way lying by the roadside, a short distance
from his team, the horse having become EN-
tangled in the reins, drawing him to the fence,
causing the horse to stop. Mr.. Osterhus is
suffering very much from his bruises.
Farmers of this section are very busy pre-
pairing their ground for fall seeding. A great
many are housing their potato crop, which is
not very promising this year. They will be
better pleased with their corn crop, which
promises large yield. Wheat made poor
average.
Our village looks somewhat brighter in ap-
pearance this summer than heretofore as
nearly all the buildings have been freshened
by repainting. Mr.. Elmer Stubbins did the
work and he is very skillful painter.
Many improvements have been made during
the summer by the way of new buildings be-
ing erected-dwellings barracks and barns,
and one very necessary building yet remains
to be erected, and that is schoolhouse,
which we hope to have soon if the patrons
will do their duty.
