Prof. E. r. Moses of Mapleton has
been called to New Concord, Ohio, where
he will have charge. of the work in ora
tory and physical training at Musk
ingup college, department for which
he is exceptionally well equipped.
Several interesting cases are to come
up in the local justice court this Friday
morning, says The Mapleton Enterprise
One of them is the suit of John
Schweitzer VS.. E. McClain, travelling
salesman, for selling goods under false
pretenses; the other is suit of the
same travelling man vs.. MIR. Schweitzel
for assault. The difficulty grew out of
a business transaction between the two
gentlemen, last Friday evening. Nc
Claim is Il representative of jewelry
house and had sold Mr. Schweitzer bill
of goods, and after the order was signed
Mr. Schweitzer discovered that it did
not contain the watches he had asked
for, so cancelled the order by rolling il
up and throwing it into the waste bas-
ket behind the counter. McClain went
to take it out of the waste basket, push
ing Mr.. Schweitzer back. At this inter
ference the Scotchman caught a right
handler in the face, and will probably
learn better than to strike an old MAJ
when that old man is John Schweitzer.

On Thursday morning last, as Mr..
Lysander Cook and Mrs. E. E. Hill were
Oh their way to town, in descending the
Bryson hill, the horse started to run.
and in turning the corner at the foot of
the hill the buggy was overturned
throwing both occupants to the ground.
Mr.. Cook was slightly injured, one
shoulder and wrist being bruised. Mrs.
Hill was not as fortunate, striking with
great force upon her right side. The hip
was at first thought to be broken. She
was picked up and carried into Mr.. Bry-
sons where she was cared for until night.
when she was removed to her home. 1t
was latter found that her hip was not
broken, but was badly bruised, and she
is now getting along nicely and is III
fair way to recovery. As she is wom-
an well along in years, and quite
feeble, it was certainly remarkable that
she escaped as well as she did. The
horse ran as far as the bridge where she
was caught. The buggy was badly
broken up.-Good Thunder Herald.
The corner stone of the Houk flour
mill at Good Thunder was laid yester-
