! the company's money to their bank

Il. p. I.ayman was the victim of a
very painful accident at Storm Lake
last Saturday afternoon from the eff
| fects Of which he has not yet fully re-
covered. He was sitting with two
other men on a plank or board, resting
on either end upon key, and talking
while waiting to begin a sale at which
| he was the auctioneer. Presently an
other man came along and sat down.
The extra weight was too much and the
plank suddenly broke in two. Mr.. Lay
man fell backwards, striking a stone
upon his back The fall seemed to par
TALLY paralyze him and he tainted
away. He was carried into a bank and
revived and again tainted away.

Charles Williams, who stole the fur
cape of Miss Mayme Conway some
weeks ago, withdrew his plea Of not
guilty and pleaded guilty. Judge Mil
Ter sentenced him to two years in the
lpenitentiary at hard labor and pay
costs of prosecution. And so ends an
other piece of folly. Williams is a
bright fellow but not smart enough
to know that man who steals with the
expectation of escaping arrest is a fool.
Williams when taken to the pen breath
ed curses loud and deep on the sheriff
and all others concerned in his arrest.
He has served a term Of ten years in
Jefferson City. Mo-, for safe blowing.
He is tough character.
Traer.
A. p. Reeder, one Of the mail carriers
out OF Traer. became thoroughly dis
gusted with his job last week and re-
signed. The postal department requires
that carriers shall continue their con-
tract until their successors are chosen.
hence Mr.. Reeder may have to founder
away thru the mud several weeks. Two
or three applications for the position
are on file and an agent of the depart
ment will be in Traer soon to examine
them. The routes will have to be short
ened q little and the roads graded a
good deal, with Il possible privilege of
going out every other day only in mud
dy times like this, before the rural route
business will work right.

and Mrs. Iver Hanson living north of

might have proven very serious for
her. She with several children We're
playing around and Mr.. Hanson was
engaged in putting some hay in the
hay loft of his born. The children
noticed the rope which is used on the
hay fork running thru the pulley
and thought it would be lots of sport
to play with it when no one was looking
but unfortunately for Lizzie her right
hand got too close to the pulley and was
drawn in and before she could get 1t out
she had 1t badly lacerated. The nails.
on the thumb and the second finger was
torn off, while the first and third
fingers badly crushed. the second
finger being the worst as the flesh on
the inside was torn badly. 1t was
close call as it was only one chance out
of many that she even came out so
luckily for If the horses had not been
stopped as soon as they We're 1t might
easily have been much worse.
