case of broken bones occurred Saturday
evening in front of the store, when Clar-
ence Gergler in trying to get into the
mail wagon slipped and fell under the
rear wheel, which passed diagonally
across his chest and shoulder. He walk
ed to Mr.. Carrolps, and DIR. G. B. New

glad to be able to say that no bones were
broken, and that Clarence will probably
be around again soon.

among which you can hardly find a small
one. DIR. johnson Is harvesting his CAL
