-moiNih mOoTei OF Groen township
who is employed on the log train of Col
Inns, Darrah & Co., on Little Coon Creek
had his left ank le crushed Tuesdaymorn
ing. He was breaking down a pile o
logs preparatory to loading them, wher
one of the rolling logs caught his leg ant
squeezed 1t between the log and railroad
track. The outside bone in the ank le
was badly crushed but the injury is no
as serious as at first reported. Drs. J. b
Siggins and j. G. Dunn were called and
reduced the fracture, leaving the patient
resting easy.
Shortly after six o'clock last evening
a buggy in which were w. A. Turner and
and Miss Mary Sherlock collided with q
similar vehicle standing in front of the
store of the Producers Supply Company
in which we're seated Mrs. A. II. NJ.
Iahniser and Miss Lindsay, with a
small child. Mr.. Turner was driving in
the street car track and attempted to turn
out, but the wheels slipped on the rails
and the rigs came together, both of them
overturning. The Turner horse started
to run, dragging Mr.. Turner about 500
feet, when the animal was caught Mr..
Turner was badly bruised on tie arm,
| hip and head, but WAS otherwise not
badly hurt. Miss Sherlock was thrown
violently on her left side and her arm
was badly scraped, but owing to the
swelling it is impossible to state whether
there are any broken bones, Miss Lind
say has badly hurt back and may be
injured internally. We were unable to
learn the extent of the injuries to Mrs.
Zahniser. The baby fell between the
two ladies and was not injured in the
least. Both buggies were broken to a
Friday.
The Brad ford Era refers to the hard
life of the average livery horse In the fol-
lowing pathetic way. Would that every
driver, not alone of livery horses, but
often their own as well, might read III:
"The livery horse has an unhappy life.
He is driven by many men of many
minds-and by some who have no minds
at all. He is driven up hill and down;
over rough roads and smooth ones;
through mud; through dust. And the
man behind the whip is always in a
hurry. The livery horse must keep on
running or trotting or backing, as the
case may be. A livery horse, in the esti
nation of the driver, is a machine with
neither rights nor feelings. 1t is an ami
NAL to be used for convenience. 1t may
be thirsty, tired, hungry or i'll. The
driver does not care. He has paid Tor is
expected to pay certain sum for the
old nag and the nag must earn the mon
ey. It's no wonder the poor livery horse
is poor If he could free himself from
the thraldom which circumstances have
thrust upon him, and if he could convey
his impressions of the average human
being, he would easily prove that the
animal who does the driving has neither
conscience nor SOUL"
The Venango general hospital was
organized at Oil City Monday as result
of the trouble betw cen the local physi-
clans and the directors of the regular h os-
pital. The new hospital will be located
in the commodious Reinbold building at
Siverly, which has been leased for the
purpose. Miss Emma Hadley, who is
well known to many of our people, has
been made the temporary matron. Prac-
tically all of the physicians of the city,
and large percentage of the most prom
inent citizens are at the back of the new
institution and it will no doubt be a sue
cess. Not Oil City alone but much of the
surrounding country is affected by the
disagreement as to the management of
the existing hospital, whose usefulness
is seriously impaired by this trouble, a
fact which is very generally and very
much regretted. The Blizzard, in COM
menting upon the subject says: 1.-THE
doctors will not take their patients to the
hospital while the present superintendent
is in charge. AS selfrespecting men
they could not do so without stultifying
themselves, except in special cases where
patients request it. The directors en-
phatically refuse to make the desired
change. preferring to retain the superin-
intendent even at the risk of viting the
most serious consequences to the institu'
tion. There is no desire on the part of
the doctors to humiliate the woman.
They simply ask that the board of di-
rectors put someone in charge with whom
they can work in harmony.
