FOOT CUT NEARLY OFF
Slipped in the Snow and Foot
Was Thrown Against Moving
Caxu

While cutting wood on his fathers
farm in Sigel Tuesday morning
StanislaW NagulSki was severely in
jured in a peculiar way. The wood
was being sawed by means of a steam
engine and rotary saw, and several
men were required to operate the
machinery. 1t became part of Ma
gulSki'S duties to take the wood from
the saw as soon as it was cut and
throw it out of the way.
Though the saw was running, the
work had stopped for moment and Ma
gulski stepped back from the machine
When the remainder of the crew
began saving again, Nagulski made
an attempt to regain his proper posi-
tiOn and as a result slipped
in such a way that his feet were
raised in the air in front of him, and
he sat down, thus thrusting his feet
in the direction Of the moving saw
Though all the crew saw the ac-
cident, no one could assist him, and
his right foot coming into contact
with the saw, it was seyerly cut. His
companions carried the injured man
to the house and securing team and
sleigh, brought him to the city, and
TO the Riverview hospital, where his
wound was dressed by loc"l physicians.
and the young fellow taken back
home. Though the wound was a
severe one, it was not dangerous,
although Nagulski's escape from
suffering his fOot's being cut off was
narrow.

DEATHS HERE
AND NEAR
ALONZO D. SCRIBNER

Alonzo Scribner, one of the city's
old residents, being within a year of
the allotted three score and ten, died
at his home at PIG Ninth ST. s. on
Friday last, Dec. %. The cause of
his death arose from wound received
nearly forty years ago, when be was
young man in the Union army and at
the Battle Of Chicamauga. He had
been in rather poor health for some
time before his demiSe, but hoped to
recover
| He was born at Buchanan town,
n. Y, on February 10. 1887. WiScon-
sin became his home in 1852, residing
at West Bend for year, after which
he came TO this city. One year here
and he moved to Illinois, from which
state he joined the Union army on
President Lincoln's first call Serv-
ing through his first term of enlist
ment he re-entered the army, and at
the battle Of Chicamauga was
wounded and left on the field as dead.
An old boyhood chum, DR.. Fuller,
who was with an Indiana regiment,
found him, cared for him, and sue
ceeded in saving his life.
After the close of the war, he went
back to New York to see the old home
people, and there he remained two
years. He had lived in Wisconsin
long enough to know the state, and
returned to the Wisconsin river valley.
Here he worked at the carpenter
trade, and upon his establishment of
permanent residence at Grand Rapids
he became member of the local
Masonic lodge.
In November, 1873 he married Miss
Susan Baker of this city and the next
year moved TO Remington town,
where he engaged in cranberry cul-
ture at first, and then farming later.
In 1903, due to failing health, he
sold his possessions in Remington and
came back to this city, where he lived
till the time of his death.
Mr.. Scribner was man of pro-
nounced characteristics. Either all
friend, or none, he required study to
get fully acquainted with, but once
known, he was found to be a generous
whOle-souled man. For several years
he suffered with the complications
arising from the wound received while
battling for his country, but cheer
fully bore them till death came. He
was not a member of any church
organization, but believed in the
broad principle of universal brother
hood, and deserving need never valnly
| appealed to him.
| The funeral services were held from
the home Tuesday morning. The
Masonic order, of which he was so long
member, had charge of the ceremon-
les. At the home Rev. A. Lincoln
Putnam of the First Baptist church
delivered strong eulogy on the char
acter OF Mr.. Scribner, after which
interment was made in Forest Hill

REVOLVER DISCHARGED
In HIS POCKET

While attempting to board the
evening train at the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul depot Sunday
night, Sheriff Little slipped to the
platform in such way that his revol-
yer, carried in his hip pocket, was
discharged, shooting through his
pocket. The bullet was directed in
such a course as to take it through
the sleeve.of the sheriff's coat, though
fortunately it did not injure anyone.
The sheriff was at the train looking
for man who had jumped his board
bill, and expected TO find him upon
the train. When the sound of the
report was heard, passengers upon
the train ran out and all was excite
ment for time, as the accident
happened in such way that one might
think the sheriff had been shot.

STEVENS POINTS
MAYOR TALKS
Grand RAPIDS Business Men In
terested in Oil Hear His
Proposition.

Mayor Hanna of Ste Vens Point was
in Grand Rapids Saturday afternoon
and evening, guest of d. d. Conway,
and In the evening, TO a number of
the city'S representative business
men he outlined proposition he is
fostering, concerning the development
OF the new oil fields in Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma. He represents an
Oil concern known as the Hodag Co.,
which holds several land leases in the
Oil country, and upon which Mr.
Hanna says there are already three
paying wells.
The company wishes to get funds
with which to develop the property
and for this reason is selling stock
Mr.. Hanna wished to get the Grand
Rapids business mep interested, ask
Ing them to send man To company's
lease and to have him inspect the
same: if the inspector found the pro-
perty as was represented, then the
business men here could subscribe for
stock. 1t was desired that $4,000 worth
of stock be taken here, so that our
city could have one of the directors of
the company, but no stock was taken
Saturday evening. Several were in
terested, however, and may invest in
the company later.
Most of the Grand Rapids people
are a little backward in trying any
thing new, such as this company, it
appearing to them as peculiar fact
that the promoters of a company do
not take all the stock themselves, if
the Investment is such a sure thing,
Often however, the promoters have
not the funds to develop the proper
ties, and not being able to borrow
money on chance stock, they are COM
pelled tosell part to get wherewitha
TO work out the value of the property.
This is the case with the Hodag COM
pany. said Mr.. Hanna.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infsmed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbliIg sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Farmers. 80. 800. .Supt. McKerrow
These Institutes are schools for the
farmer, for his wife, and his children.
AS consequence, they should be
attended by every farmer who can
possibly get to tie place of meeting.
1t is often supposed that one cannot
understand or learn anything at these
Institutes, but this is mistake, as
the instructors in this case are
farmers, too, and the meets are
always full to overlooking of helpful
suggestions and new ideas that can be
later turned to good account on the
farm.
So, the farmers of Wood county
should attend at least one of these
institutes and both if possible; they
are for the farmer, and he should take
advantage of them, bringing his wife
and children along to get ideas in
their line of duty about the farm.
Farmers Institute bulletin number
10 will be distributed free prior TO the
first session. Be on hand early and
get one OF these books. During the
rest of the winter when you have a
little spare time, read these bulletins
carefully, and you will learn more
about farming than you can learn by
experience in several years.
