/ Ryan Reporter Supervisor w.
B. Robinson has just completed a
fine piece Of work on the Beacon
road just west of town. This short
! piece of road was without doubt the
/ worst in the county and the citizens
, of Ryan were unable to have any,
thing done with it until Mr.. Robin
son got into office. The road has
been tiled and graded up in good
! shape and with a little additional
macadam on top will be equal to the
best. Mr.. Robinson certainly has
the thanks of all our business men
for this splendid piece of work. 81 q

working with threshing outfit
seven miles south of Epworth last
Friday, Pete Nachtmann of this city
met with painful accident which
nearly cost an arm. In working
about the thresher Pete's left hand
was caught in the belt, and as it
passed around the wheel the wrist
was wrenched from the socket and
the arm bruised and lacerated to the
elbow, and for a time it was thought
amputation would be necessary but
fortunately this has been averted.
| Gus Nachtman and Frank From
melt drove to the place and return
ed with the patient that evening,
when he was cared for by DR.. B.. H.
Leuhrsmann. Il 4. q The five year
old daughter af Mrs. Henry Kirch-
holf, living on the West Side, was
severely bitten by large dog be-
longing to the family, last Tuesday.
The little girl was playing with the
dog when it suddenly turned upon
her and fastened its teeth in the
back of the child's head, decorating
the scalp in such a manner as te
require the shaving of most of the
hair from the back of the head and
taking three stitches to close the
wounds. 1t is thought by the
family that the dog would have
killed the child but for timely as
sistance. The dog had never be
fore shown viciousness but the fam
lily thought it best to dispose of the
brute, now he abideth in dogdom.
