ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

Gordon Anderson, son ot the late
Robert Anderson, suffering with
brain affection, attempted suicide
while wandering near the Anderson
farm four miles northeast OF this
village Friday night. Gordon is 80
years Of age, and about 10 years
AGO he suffered a severe sun-stroke,
from the effects Of which he has
never fully recovered. The trouble
has grown worse Of late, and on
Friday night he left home about
10 o'clock, wandering about until
the next afternoon, when he re
turned with his neck quite badly
cut on the side, but fortunately the
iugular vein had been missed. In
the meantime his brothers had been
searching for him. He was brought
to town, where Drs. Jefferson Of
Patch Grove and Lewis Of this place
gave the wound attention and had
him committed to Mendoza hospital,
where he has been once before for
the same trouble DR.. Lewis took
him to Lancaster Sunday, where
Sheriff Glenn took him IN charge.
We hope to hear of his speedy
recovery.
ALL WENT TO THE FAIR.
West Grant turned out en- masse
to the Lancaster fair last Thursday
and Friday, repaying that city
al
which they sent to our fair. One
driver on the Little Grant road
from Lancaster to this place Friday
morning met 80 equipages enroute
to the county fair, and said LATER he
was only about ninety minutes on
the road. It is a safe estimate to
say that fully 1900 from this
vicinity attended the fair.
ANOTHER STRIKE.
At depth Of IS feet the B. & B.
Co. s driller, Will Stark, penetrated
twelve feet Of ground heavily
charged with lead ore. It will be
remembered that the last hole COM
pleted had fine showing Of black
Jack at a depth Of 1873 feet. These
strikes are on the Reinhardt Kirsch-
baum farm between Bloomington
and Beetown. 1t is the most promis-
ING field ia West Grant County.

The success Of our fair this year
is due in great measure to united
effort on the part of our business
men. That is the way to make a
fair on town hum-all pull at
once and in the same direction.
With still more united effort and a
continued desire to do the square
thing, the fair can be made a grand
success.
