John Zeller had pretty close call
Friday evening and one perhaps he
will remember for long time. He was
at his home alone. His family were
at Irving and would not be home until
the next day. Shortly after he had
eaten his supper he grew deathly sick
and too weak to walk. Seeing that
he was rapidly getting worse he made
an effort to reach the telephone, which
| by great struggle he succeeded in
doing. He called up the K. P. hall
and notified the boys he would have
to have help at once. He was ter
ribly sick man and the indications were
that he had eaten some poisonous sub
stance 1t was o'clock in/the morn
| ing before the doctor fel~lthat he could
leave him and at O'clock a. M. he
was still a pretty sick man, but he has
been getting better since and the pros
poets are that he will soon be as vel
as usual.

DITCH PROPOSITION FAILS.
Hartshorn Ditch Would Have Been
Most Costly in Wright County.

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion. Feb 21.-The board of SUI
pervisors, at meeting held yesterday,
refused to establish what is known as
tie Hartshorn ditch. Had it been con-
structed it would have been the most
costly one in the county. F. C. Harris
horn, who was the author of the new
drainage bills, under which the ditch
would have been constructed, was very
much interested in its being established
and is one of the first to suffer under
the law. A difference of opinion as to
where the ditch should terminate was
the cause of it being turned down.

RAISING complications. Patrick Behan,
foreman OF the Northwestern pile-

the first car to the north end of the

with the reputed corpse, to await de-
velopments. In a few moments along
