DR.. Harry King knows how to give
medicines for the various diseases, set
broken bones and sew up wounds, but
he is not an expert at handling ice.
One day last week the doctor was help
ing to pack some ice for summer use at
his fathers home and he experienced
two mishaps. After the second acci-
dent he quit packing CONCEALED water.
He was standing on Il plank with four
or five cakes of ice on it and the ice slid
off without warning to the physician
and he found himself ascending upwards
rapidly. The ceiling Of the ice house
stopped his ascension and when he de-
scended to the floor of the ice house it
was with the small OF his back on the
sharp edge of board. When he was
able to breathe again he tackled the
ice with a determination to show that
he could handle 1t, but when a large cake
dropped on to the great toe of his right
foot, then he wilted.

No County Bridge.

Supervisors Strouse and McCleary, OF
Winslow township, appeared before the
grand jury in Brookville on Monday OF
last week and made request for coun-
ty bridge across the Sandy Lick creek
at Sandy Valley. The jury considered
the request, but decided to reject it.
At the September term of court the
request for county bridge at Sandy
Valley was made and on the evidence
of one supervisor and three witnesses
the grand jury granted the request, but
in making out the order the clerk made
it for public road, and so it passed the
court and, hence, the request had to
be presented to another grand jury.
This time the evidence Of both SUPER
vlsors and six witnesses was heard by
the grand jury, and the bridge was re-
fused. Now Winslow township will
have to build the bridge.
