the occupants of the Inflated caboose
splintered at Medora last week Thurs
days doing as we'll and even better
than could be expected, and his physi-
clans, Drs. S,ickney and Perkins, say
that to his ~cheerfulness and courage he
owes largely his present favorable con-
dition. He is eighteen and this is his
last year in high school in Bowling
Green, o, where he is prominent in
Y. M. c. A. work. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. b. P. Stratton, arrived from
Bowling Green this week and his mother
will remain until he has recovered,
while his father expects to return the
last of this week.

Cattle Co,-the owners of the eight cars
of sheep and one car of cows in the
Mcdora wreck. Besides this the com
pany is interested in farms and oil wells
in Ohio. Mr.. Stratton himself is en-
gagged in the implement and machine
business. Rev. Henry Doty, one of the
victims of the wreck, was the general
manager of the company and was about
ffty-fve years Of age. Besides his wife.

married daughter and a son who has
recently graduated from a dental COL

Harold Stratton was in the.tack end
Of the caboose trying to sleep and the
other three were in the front end con-
versing when the collision occurred,
The caboose was thrown up and split
open, and young Stratton thinks he was
thrown into space and into the water &C
feet below. He wal near the wreckage
when he CAME up and managed to climb
upon the cupola Of the caboose, which
alone was above water, and told those
who came first to the rescue that he wal
all right and to look after the others
In this he displayed great presence Of
wind as also when he directed a message
sent to a friend at home announcing the
probable death Of Mr.. Doty and his owl
accident but saying he was all right
thus causing the news to be gen,l,
broken to the relatives.

The issues will be clearly defined
in the democratic platform to be
adopted by the convention tomorrow
night.
Where the republican convention
carefully avoided any reference to
the live issues such as the charter
amendment, the telephone franchises
and other franchises, the men who
forced the gang to declare against the
people being allowed to vote on such
issues, are ready to announce,
through a platform, that they favor
charter amendments as proposed and
a broad administration of municipal
affairs.
Because Of this, the Daggett plat
form is being carefully arranged to
express the will of the people and
pledge the party and candidates to
carry real business reforms instead
of one or two police rules.
