No more shocking tragedy has ever oc-
CURED i'm our community than that whose

ribs and arm broken, from which she still
lies in semi-conscious condition and
probably at the point of death. The
horse evidently ran, and turning a cor

threw the occupants and buggy into n
broken mass along the side of the road.
The horse was fractions one and Mr..
Sanders with his crippled arm had been
warned not to drive her. Someone near

he did not falter, but continued to fight,
and with heroism followed the waning

THE bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring,-
may be truthfully said of "Jim" Sanders.
In all after life his bravery has only been

neighbors, his companions OF battle and
the people at large for whom he shed his

the latter, with two brothers and one
