Reports from Stratford say that there
have been lively times in that commu-
nifty. A series of rows eliminated in
a cutting affray last Saturday when a
man named Carroll slashed John
Hickey across the shoulder and hand
with knife The cuts took number
of stitches to close. Carroll skipped.
Hickey and Carroll are partners in the
saloon business, and they are also
brothers-in- law .-Marshfield News.
Last Wednesday, Oscar Brehmer, en-
ployed in the drug store of w. w. Al
bers, received severe burns that may
disfgure him. In filling prescription
for salve that day it was necessary to
melt the greasy substance over a gas
stove. While doing so the mixture
caught fire and while carryingit out on
the sidewalk to prevent fire in the
store, the blazing grease ran over one
of Mr.. Brehmer's hands and burned it
with results as above stated
The Marshfield News gives credence
to the following snake story which is
pretty hard to believe when it is well
known that there are no poisonous
snakes in this section of Wisconsin or
ones that bites or can bite:
Mrs. Seymour Sauerherring was bit
near the ankle bya copper snake one
day last week The poison spread
throughout the limb and she suffered
considerable pain for several days, but
no permanent ill effects will result.
She was walking across a field and
probably stepped on the snake.
Leslie Marquis was severely injured
on Friday while oiling shaft in the
Curtis 4 Yale factory No. 1. No one
appears to have witnessed the accident,
and the man does not know how it
happened, but at any rate he received
great Earring up. While on the ladder
he was taken with a dizzy spell or else
the ladder gave way and he fell, strik
ing on his shoulders, and shortly after
was picked up by other workmen, who
found him in an unconcious state. A
physician was summoned and it was
about an hour before he was restored
to his senses.
The cement sidewalk has proven
itself the most economical sidewalk of
the age. 1t lasts for years where
