Word was received last week from
Cadott, Wisconsin, that Peter Dietzler
has been most seriously injured by a
piece OF timber falling on his head.
At the time the letter was written an
operation was about to be performed,
but the surgeons had little or no hope
for his recovery. Mr.. Dietzler has
many friends here who hope to hear
of his recovery.
Our young friend, j. Lopez, had
what might be termed a very lucky
runaway last Sunday evening. He
had hitched his horse In front of the
store and went to supper. In some
way the horse got loose and started
down the street at a break-neck gait.
He kept on Main street till the court
house was reached and turned toward
DR.. Goulding's. DR.. Gay stopped the
animal in front OF his residence.
Neither horse nor buggy were dam
aged.

Rev. j. B. Rice, pastor of Methodist
church, created quite a sensation by
appearing in his pulpit clad in a neat
fitting shirt waist. Several members
of the congregation were attired in
the popular summer garment which
has apparently come to stay. The
adoption of this sensible method will
make attendance at religious services
during the warm season one OF plea
sure instead of duty, and Rev. Rice's
example could be copied with great
comfort by other ministers. Poplar
