Chas. Brandt was brought to the city
Thursday evening suffering from an
injury received while at work in the
mill at Ringle station. While at work
near the edger on that day he was
struck by flying 2x4 scantling and
knocked down. When picked up by
his fellow workmen he was in an I'M
conscious state and did not regain con-
seriousness again until after reaching
this city. The scantling struck him
with such force as to break his left arm,
three ribs and tear away a large piece
of scalp from his skull. DR.. A. l..
Brown is treating Brandt and it will
be several weeks before he will again
be able to perform any labor.
Close readers of newspapers for few
years back will recall that at one time
there was in this country strong SEN
timent against the Russian government
because of the treatment of political
convicts in the mines of Siberia. In
diplomatic relations the United States
and Russia have always been allies to
certain extent, and it looked at that
time as though the repugnance of
large section of our people for the penal
system of the Gar would operate to
produce a rupture of the entente then
existing between the two countries.
The feeling of dislike for Russia was
fostered by the revelations of Wellman
and KEENAN,, the lecturers Nobody
has forgotten the scenes they described
and play that deals with such sub
ject ought to prove of unusual interest.
