With only shred of flesh and Il
small artery connecting his left leg
with his foot, Willie Drake, two and
half years old, was carried to Sayre
on train 7 late Friday afternoon. and
now with the leg and foot sewed to-
gether he is patiently waiting the
result of the physicians effort to
preserve his leg.
The little chaps father, Henry
Drake,is farmer residing near Wy
sox. Friday afternoon the father
and grandfather, Edward Drake,
ground an old sickle-bar, placed it
in a moving machine and, with the
grandfather on the drivers seat, com
menced cutting large patch of
weeds. They had gone around the
patch when the grandfather noticed
his four-yearold granddaughter run
ming through the weeds toward
them.
He thought possibly the younger
child was with her, but supposed
that the tot was behind instead of
ahead of his sister. The boys head
did not reach above the weeds so
the grandfather had no warning of
the little fellows danger until he
heard piercing scream and saw the
boy fall forward over the sickle bar.
The knives had cut through the
flesh, through both the leg bones and
only left the foot dangling by
shred of flesh, through which passed
the small artery that may finally
save the foot.
The boy was hurriedly taken to
Towanda, placed aboard No. I and
hurried to Sayre. DIR. G. H. OFT sue
ceeded in uniting the ends of the
tibia but the fibula was so badly
shattered that a reduction could not
be made of that bone. The chances
are against the leg being preserved,
but the benefit of every chance is be-
ing given, and it is possible that the
boy may walk on two feet when he
leaves Sayre hospital.

HILLSGROVE.

One of the best games of the sea-
son was played at Hillsgrove
last Friday when the Home
team defeated the League team.
Score, 8 to 4 in favor of Hills Grove
League started in to play for scoring
the first part of the game. 1t never
had look in after that. Woodley
pitched full game, and Foyle, the
nesting pitcher, held the co-champi-
ons three to seven hits, and every
run Hillsgrove made was an earn
ed run. The features of the game
were Rinker's free stick work and
Sullivan's fielding. Some fine work
was also done by the League, and
they were the best and manifest
bunch ever seen here. Hillsgrove
has not been defeated on the home
grounds this year. They have just
been fitted out with new, white uni
| forms.
Fred Jenkins was killed by log
loader at Laquin last week and was
buried here last Friday. He was a
resident of this place, being born
here, but of late was living with his
mother at Canton. His death came

him well.
The schools at this place will open
on Tuesday with Prof. Mulno, Miss
Dewar, Miss Biddle aud Miss Smell

Miss May Smith of Plymouth, is

Fred Rinker called on Estella

Henry Mcbride, an old-time resi-

There is strong talk of installing

There was SO much of row, how

who gave Mateusch severe lecture

House for 80 days. Those who

No Democrat in public life at
Washington since Bryan delivered
his speech in New York Thursday
night is willing to espouse the cause
of government ownership of rail
roads, as proposed by the Nebras-
kan.
Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, in an interview places himself
in opposition to government owner
ship, just as Senator Bailey, of Tex
as, Representative Livingston of
Georgia, and others in the city have
done. Governor Glenn of North
Carolina, who accompanied Senator
Simmons,a went on record against
it. Senator Simmons says:
81 don't think the Democrats of
the South will stand for government
ownership. Neither do | under
stand that Mr.. Bryan did more than
to express the opinion that railroad
rate regulation would prove inef-
fectual and that the needed relief
could be secured only through gov.
