MIR. Joel Saxon was so crushed by a
fall of coal and rock that his recov-
cry is doubtful. With arms and legs
broken and hurt internally he is
nothing but mass of broken bones.
His condition is so serious that the
doctors would not have him taken to
the hospital.
F. F. Schaad of Mildred caught
thirty trout in the Loyal sock crock

AS Helen Deiffenbach the daugh-
ter of S. A. Dieffenbach was anus
ing herself on swing she lost her
balance and fell to the ground strik-
ing on board in which there was a
20 penny nail that penetrated her
hand. DR.. Brennan dressed the

thing serious resulting.
Miss Jessie Conners of Mildred is

more.

that each one of the delegates will
work and support the ticket they
helped to nominate and not play the
baby act again.
When Tom Schell was .ianltor of
the school house and the building
needed cleaning he had Mrs. Schell
to assist him and before the school

directors inspected the building and
said that the work had been thor
oughly done. When Mr.. Schell pre-
sented a bill in favor of Mrs Schell
the school directors refused to pay
it. Last year when the school clos
ed the janitor hired the building
cleaned, and when bill of sl2 was
presented, it was paid by the direct
ors. This is where the kick comes
in with the auditors, if bill of three
dollars is refused why should one of
twelve dollars for the same work be
paid. One of the auditors refuse to
sign the audit. How long the tax
payers will stand this sort of thing
We are not prepared to say.

gram will be carried out, and the fire
works at night will be the finest ever
shown. Special rates on all railroads
