A number Of New Castle men did
asympathetit act Ia astevening. The

The Senate raised the required

Shearer and James Doris went to
the jail and paid the fine: The
young man was dumbfounded when
Informed by the warden to walk
from the bum cell and go as a Tree

of the act Of the Senate. The young
man was Edward Mcguire of WASH
ington, d. {. He was so overcome
with pleasure at being released
that the tears trickled down his
cheeks. He stated that he was
truly mortified by being brought
over in the chain gang. He was ell
route from Chicagotoh his home when
he and his companion took little

in his thanks TO the Senate. The
Senate took up another collection

James B.. Toman and Matthew

gunni7'hgf for rabbits. They had an
excellent time. They brought home
eighteen rabbits, nine partridges,
two squirrels and one possum.
r. Eben Watts met with an acci-
dent Yesterday that caused him Sc
we're injuries about the head. In
the morning he drove to the Harlan
farm to get some corn from Edward
Crumlish. After going inside the
road gate he stopped to close the
latter. AS he did so his horse
started to run away. Watts ran
along the wagon and made a grab
at the lines. He missed the grab
and his right arm went between the
spokes of the wheel. As the wheel
turned Watts was pulled forward
and fell against the hub. Afterthe
horse went 25 yards it stopped.
Watts managed to get up but his
mind was a blank. The injuries
he received left his head so dizzy
that hc-did not remember what he
went to Crumlish's place for and
came home without the corn. His
right wrist is badly sprained as is
also his neck. His head is skinned
in number of places, while his
nose received two deep gashes near
the eyes. His gums arc cut to such
an extent that he cannot eat and
can scarcely talk. This was done
by his false teeth getting broken
and the moulds cutting his
gums.
