DAYTON news Of THE WEEK.

Courier-Press.-La Monday. Mrs.
John Carr slipped on the walk and
fell heavily against a piece of timber,
and fractured a couple Of ribs on the
right side, besides sustaining several
severe bruises. She was carried into
the house and physician called, who
set the broken bones and relieved her
pain. She is doing nicely now.
AS if it was not enough to have Mrs.
Carr laid up, Major Carr, on Tuesday
while running one Of the machines at
the planning mill had a large silver run
into his left wrist. The piece of
wood entered with such force as to
become tightly wedged between the
bones. and it was with difficulty pull
ed out by the doctor.
