him pass, but as he did so he found his
buggy caught on both sides at about
the same instant. Mr.. Ewing has three
broken ribs, his wife is somewhat

Stefan Puszdrakiewicz, of Chicago,

two legs. He was awarded verdict
for $4,000. He got mixed up with the
grand jury on an assault charge, and
when it indicted him it chopped two
letters out of his name He may go

The whole question seems to hinge on
the simple fact as to whether the Pusz-

wicz who was arrested, the Pustrako-
WITT, who nearly hacked the life out of
his neghbor with an ak, and the Putra-

politics and at the same time has been
one of the ablest. The time may yet

long been one of the closest advisers to

in Dickinson county was largely IN
spired by the desire to humiliate Funk
and if possible, annihilate him, but 1T
failed. Altho Funk was not candi-

went out of it's way TO recognize eiie
