Our neighboring town Of Colgate is
right to the front with social amuse-
ments this winter. They have a dance
every Friday night, which are attended
by large crowds. Bob Gray, Hugh Car.
penter and Johnny Williams furnish
first-class music for these dances, and
everybody seems to thoroughly enjoy
themselves. A little concerted action in
every community would serve to drive
away dull care during the winter.
A farmer named Miller. who lives
alone on his place near Finley, drove up
to his barn about l o'clock last Monday
with a load of straw, and began unload
ing. While engaged at this work he
noticed a man coming up toward the
house, and thinking it to be one of the
neighbors took no notice of it. Having
finished unloading be went Up to the
house, and on entering was surprised to
find a stranger there. who was in the act
of going through the house. Miller I'M
mediate!y ordered the fellow out and
was informed by the stranger hat he
would go when he got ready; as Miller
turned to open the door with a view of
putting the fellow out, the miscreant
dealt him 9 blow on the head which fel
led him to the floor, and then kicked
and pounded him into unconsciousness.
He then made good his escape. Miller
returned to life in about an hour, and
and hailed one of Tillotson's rigs going
by and asked for a DR.. and other assis-
lance to be sent out, and at last &C.
counts was recovering from his painful
condition.
