Ezra Brown, one of the old residents
of Lima died on Friday last from injur-
les received while feeding young bull
week previous. Mr.. Brown was 80
years of age and was a great lover of
animals, being of the kin dest of DISPOSE
tions. It was while he was taking care
of young bull on his farm that he was
attacked and after being thrown was
tramped upon by the maddened ugly
animal. His advanced age made his re-
covery doubtful and he died on May l at
his home in the town of Lima.
Hugo 7. Coles of Medina, and Lou
lisa P. Starks of Albion, were welded
Wednesday, APRIL 22nd. But owing to
a Misunderstanding between the groom
and bride on the night of the wedding,
she refused to accompany him to mis-
home and partake of the Inequalities
| which the dutiful husband had provided.
And from that time to this she has re-
| NAMED with her parents. MIR. Coles was
in Edgerton last Friday and Saturday to
settle the bills of the wedding which
were charged to him and also to induce
the young bride to accompany him to
his Medina home In the latter he
failed and it now looks as though he is
destined to enjoy single blessedness for
some time to come.
Members of the Stoughton common
council, the newspaper editors aid few
others made up party that were given
trip over the GAINESVILLE, Beloit and
Rock ford trolley line on Sunday last at
the invitation Of the management of the
road. Just to show them what the road
was kept from the bridge in Rockford to
Beloit, the trip being made 10 just 30
minutes. At Beloit the special passed
the regular car and the run from that
city to GAINESVILLE was made in 27115 min
utes. The Stoughton party speak very
favorable of the construction of the line
md re-
similar invitation has been extended to
| the common council of this city and
their friends for an inspection of the line.
"A cleft over" from last Fourth of
July celebration was responsible for an
| early morning fire alarm on Thursday.
1t was an innocent bottle of powder
which Mrs. Even Olson had tucked
away in an old stove so to he out of all
danger and forgotten about that was the
cause. A few days ago the stove was
dragged out to take off the chill of the
| morning air and soon after rousing
blaze was under way about $50 o'clock
Thursday morning. There was an ex-
plosion that shook the neighborhood,
that filled the house with smoke and
caused CONSERVATION to the household.
Fortunately. no great damage was doue
and excepting the fright which caused
the turning in a fire alarm, the. incident
attracted but little attention. It is safe
to say Mrs. Olson will in the future find
| another hiding place for the 4th of July
''left-overs."
The Lyman twins in Merry Chase
at Royal hall last Thursday evening we're
all right. So was the balance of the
company who supported them. A Merry
Chase is a farce comedy brim full of
catchy acts and funny situations that are
bound to keep the audience in an uproar
of laughter from curtain up to curtain
down. 1t was we'll staged and there were
no unnecessary delays to make time hang
heavy and seats uncomfortable to those
who occupied them. In fact everyone
present seemed more than satisfied with
what they were getting. Manager Ash
during the past season has been very
successful in securing attractive enter
tainments and audience pleasers For
this reason the owners of Royal hall
ought not hesitate in making many
needed repairs to both the audience room
and the stage before another season
opens. Put the hall in good condition
and with Frank Ash as manager, Edger-
ton people will be royalty treated in the
show line next year.
There is liable to be music in the air
in Edgerton during the coming summer.
Perhaps not all the time, but once
week at the least calculation. Weather
permitting, the Edgerton Cornet band
will give concert from the band stand
each Saturday evening. In this and
other cities weekly free musical pro-
