Hans Peterson met with very
serious and painful accident last Sat
urday while stacking hay. In some
manner his hand caught in the hay
fork and as the horse was walking off,
in an instant he was half way up to
the runway when fortunately he was
seen and the horse halted, and on be-
ing lowered to the load it was found
that the flesh on three fingers had
been peeled to the bone and two fin
ger nails were torn from their roots.
1t will be some time before he will be
able TO resume his work.
0. P. Tyler who has spent few
weeks in western South Dakota, re-
turned last week not pleased enough
with that part of the state to wish to
invest. He is not looking very ro-
bust at this time, having just passed
through siege of gastritis to which
he is subject, but this attack he
thought would be his last, though by
prompt treatment he has nearly re-
covered. One of his daughters in
Denver is down with measles and he
would take trip out there to see
how she is progressing, but he does
not feel equal to the task.
Mrs. Fred Heileman was called to
Maxwell, Iowa, last Thursday on re.
ceipt Of the intelligence that her sis
ter, who had just finished the course
necessary to become trained nurse
and was looking forward to the fut-
ure in joyful anticipation of we'll
merited reward, was stricken down
with nervous collapse and intlamma-
tory rheumatism, and she lies at the
home OF her parents, most of the time
Unconscious. Mrs. Heileman will re-
main and help wait upon her until a
change occurs which her sympathiz-
ing friends all hope may be for the
better.
The United States Express Go. has
at last awakened to the fact that
there is such a place on the map as
Hamlin and that it is in need Of an
express Office instead of being as
heretofore non-billing Office, and
therefore sent its auditor, C17t
Taylor, here one aaY recently. "a
established this Office as regular
billing station. Heretofore all ex-
press had to be billed to other sta
tions near by and caused lots of
trouble, but now all is changed, and
in vulgar parlance we are right in the
swim, besides we are sure it will pay
to maintain an office here.

Miss Bonita Bryan gave recital
last Saturday night for the Christian
Endeavor of the Presbyterian church
that surpassed anything ever given
here before. Miss Bryan has a force
of delivery that is irresistible. She
had the audience entirely under her
control at all times and could make
them laugh or cry just as she willed.
Her voice is musical and every move
ment is symmetrical and balanced. Her
style of delivery is peculiarly her
own and one that is so natural that
the listener can but fall in with every
move, gesture or meditation of the
voice. Everyone who heard her was
we'll satisfied that she has brilliant
future before her.
