BROKE LEG WHILE SAVING.
Willis Edwards, son of Mat.
Edwards, had the misfortune of
breaking a leg while helping Vern.
Brookens saw logs on Dave Bald
WINS farm. A big log rolled in
such a manner as to break the
femur near the upper end, and also
broke and splintered a Done in his
ankle. We sincerely hope that the
fractures will unite without COM
plications Of any kind.
IN THE EARTHQUAKE.
Several people from this vicinity
live in San Francisco, and if they
are still alive, no doubt they have
interesting stories to tell. The rela-
tives of James and Myron Ryan,
whose place of business was on
Market street, are worried con-
siderably at their silence. Their
sister here, Mrs. James Morkin, re-
ceived word from Will Ryan, of
Letcher, S. OAK, Saturday, to the
effect that he intended starting I'M
mediately for San Franciso to BEE
what had become of the brothers.
We hope they are all right, and
probably they are, as the excite
ment would probably make them
forget to telegraph. Orion Brady
telegraphed from Ocean Park that
there was no damage there to speak
of, but the shock shook the bottles
from the shelves. Others of our
people living there that we call to
mind are George Lyness, Bert
Hadley, and Verne Riddiough. Mrs.
Rev. Fuller, of this place, has a
brother living there. Frank New
mans sister, Mrs. Allan Burleson,
lives at Santa Rosa, but as only the
business section of that town was
destroyed, she and her husband are
probably all right.
W. E. Lewis was oyer from
Platteville Monday.
Rev. Bennett and family visited
at Boscobel former part of the
week.
Miss McIYer has a peach tree in
full bloom. Quite rare thing for
this country.
Newton Brodt began sprinkling
the streets Monday. This is a
luxury to which very few country
villages treat themselves.
Alb. Blackburn and assistants are
working at the Sleepy-Eye NINE
this week.
A "a pound girl at the home of
Walt Schneyer.
At Missoula, Mont, Patrick Bart
ley permitted himself to be inter-
viewed by the Daily Muscular to
the extent of a half column. He ex-
pressed himself in terms of high
praise for the northwest-the pros
poets, and the energy and push of
the people. He is a guest of John
Hicklin, son of the late Walter
Hicklin, and expressed great pleas
ure at seeing John in the responsible
position of cashier of the Missoula
Trust and Security Bank.

Il wasn't very sure about this name" said
Professor Wicher until | remembered that
Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the Lord
Then knew had deciphered il correctly"
Eve remained for some time at the seminary
and in the library she found poem written by
one of the faculty. In it the pedagogue COM
planned bitterly that he was not allowed TO

returned TO her home she read them TO Adam.
Adam, who had not yet outgrown his habit
of naming things, said, The mans name shall
be called Chump. because he knoweth not,
neither doth he consider that he hath soft
