Zeigler a farmer. of near Linden Hail,
this county is now lying at the point
of death from a very peculiar acci-
dent. While driving a team the tie
pole worked loose, and one end struck

made a bow in the pole, and while
trying to work it loose it sprung back
and hit the driver on the back of the
neck at the base of the brain. He
was found lying in the middle of the
road by a neighbor. He was uncon
scious, and upon examination it was
found that his skull had been seri

NO REPLY FROM eRIeANps
II Is Believed Miss Stones Abductors
Cannot Agree Among Themselves.

II Is Believed Miss Stones Abduetors
Cannot Agree Among Themselves.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 1S.-The bri-
gands who abducted Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, and
Nine. Tsill1a, her companion, have not
yet replied to the latest proposals of
Mr.. Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the
United States in Sofia. This is be-
lieved to be due to the fact that the
band has many leaders and that the
latter are unable to agree among
themselves.
There is a general impression here
that time is being frittered away
while waiting for the brigands to re-
duce their demands. 1t is felt that the
only means by which matters can be
brought to a head is to inform them
as to the sum available for ransom
and to declare that this cannot be in
creased for any consideration what
ever Such an ultimatum might en-
danger the life of Miss Stone, but it is
more probable that the brigands will
accept this condition. Besides, every
days delay imperils her life, not sc
much on the score of the brigands
themselves, but by reason of the ex
posure and strain she is undergoing.
