The vehicle struck a small post on the corner of Second and Union streets which stands in the shadow of tree, and as the horse was going at a pretty lively rate, Dr. Gay was thrown head foremost from the buggy and under the heels of his horse The breaking of the singletree by the impact allowed the horse to move forward in the shafts and this is what prevented the animal from trampling on the phy- sician. He was badly shaken up but none of his bones were broken.

ing of the proposed stockholders Of the

this evening. 1t is understood that
the majority of those who have sub

capitalizing the paper at $500 instead
of $4,000 as was at first contemplated.
1t is also said that some will object
to the installing of book bindery, as
the cost of same as well as the salary
of an experienced book binder would
not warrant the investment i'm the ma
chine. These details will be discussed
at the meeting tonight. Most of the
