Last week there were several ac-
cidents hereabouts. On Friday FRANK
Critchlow. an Industrious farmer
living about five miles east OF here,
had both bones of leg badly
broken below the knee, due to the
kick of a horse. This will lay him
up during the busiest season.
James Scullon, of Lancaster, sent
Robert Walker over here Saturday
for a fine team of mules, which he
had bought on Friday of Julius Tor
nowske. In turning around the
mules in some way tipped the
buggy over and ran a short distance,
throwing julius and Rob to the
ground, where they were some
what injured. Julius especially got
some hard bruises. The buggy
tongue broke and the splintered
end entered foot of one of the
mules Just above the hoof, with
such force as to tear the entire hoot
from the foot, together with part
of the heel. We hear the mule will
be killed.
Nick Mann, one of the steady
workers of Glen Haven, was so un-
fortunate as to break his leg Sat-
urday. We hope that Nick will get
around all right.
Mrs. Isaac Fox, widow OF a for
mer we'll known merchant OF Mt.
Hope, died at Finley hospital, Du.
buque, Thursday, after an opera
ton for cancer. She leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Judson Abraham.
Fred Geiger had the misfortune
to lose team and T. j. Clifton
horse from lightning Thursday
night. The animals were in a shed
at Fred's place, the old Calkins
farm, near Brodtville. Fred Moore,
of that place, was in Saturday cir
culating a subscription paper for
Fred's relief. AS Fred has lots of
friends here, there were numerous
signers.
Uncle Job Crabtree has been in
disposed lately.
The people of the lowlands along
the river are glad to see the water
falling. Frank Greer had his sum-
mer cottage at Clayton Landing
anchored with ropes. Otherwise it
would have gone down stream. The
Bridgeport people used boats to
carry passengers and freight across
the swollen Wisconsin.

ment address to the same class on
