o. j. Marcott was wheeling Friday
morning to Rochester Hollow, where his
partner, A. n. Hayes, and a gang of men

but fell unconscious and was found by the
men lying in the road. He was carried

A copy OF "The Life OF Philander
Chase" the first bishop of Ohio and
Illinois, has been received by the Kim
ball Public Library, from the author,
Mrs. Laura Chase Smith, granddaughter
OF Bishop Chase. The book is an inter-
esting record, pleasantly written OF a
most active and interesting life. The
bishop was a member Of the Chase family
so well known in Randolph, but the
book is doubly valuable to us because the
author OF il is a native OF Randolph, born
here nearly seventy-six years ago and
her love for her birthplace has never been
lost. She knew the donor OF our library
building in his childhood and was great
friend Of his mother. She has visited
several times in late years and
is well remembered by many Of our older
citizens.
