SIN the winter time many more books
are stolen than in the summer. This
is because men wear in the winter
loose overcoats with huge pockets, into
which books may be slipped readily,
and because women wear wraps, under
which books may be easily concealed.

HIS A NARROW ESCAPE
Large Cake of Ice FeIls Ray Pres
colt at SIilan-Injured by
Horse.

Ray Prescott, of Milan, had n mar
row escape from death yesterday
while at work at the ice houses of the
river above the village. He was
standing on n platform beside the
chute at some distance from the
ground when he was struck by
cake of ice and knocked to the
ground. At first it was feared that
he was fatally hurt, but an eXamina-
tion revealed the fact that no bones
were broken and his worst injuries
were about the knees, both caps be-
ing dislocated.
William Walters, n blacksmith en-
ployed at the shop of William Tenges,
in Milan, is wearing his head i'm a
sling, as the result of an accident
which was of a nature to leave him
rather thankful that he has any head
left. Walters rooms over the shop
and the exit from the second story is
from the work room. Tuesday morn
ing he arose as usual and went down
stairs. He was not aware of the
fact that horse had been left in the
shop over night and was standing
near the door. AS he stepped out into
the dark room the animal was startl-
ed by the noise and kicked at him.
Its heels struck against the door and
the door in turn swung against his
face with great force. He was knock
ed down and did not fully regain con
seriousness for over four hours. His
front teeth were loosened and his
lips and chin badly cut, but no bones
were broken. Had the hoof struck
him directly he would probably have
been killed.
