o. M. johnson is recovering from his
injury of two weeks ago when he was
severely kicked on the under jaw caus-
ing compound fracture and dislocat-
ing several of his teeth. He was
talking to neighbor, Saxton Hample,
who had come along the highway in
rig, and on touching one of the horses
on the hip while examining a new fly
net he received one of the hoofs right
under the chin. His jaw and teeth are
sewed up and Martin has a hard time
at taking his victuals these days.
Liquid food is about all he can take.
He is able to be about the street.
While workmen were engaged in
tearing out the front of the building
occupied by the Pehl sisters at Ellen
dale, preparatory to putting in a plate
glass front, they discovered several
letters which had been dropped in
crack, and which upon investigation
had been mailed fifteen years ago. One
of the letters contained a check on one
of the business men of the town in
which he was remitting for goods.
The loss of the letter had caused him
much trouble. About that time the
postofice was located in the building
and the letters had been dropped in
the small opening in front made to re-
ceive letters when the postoffice was
closed.
c. M. Stevens is always making some
improvements in his hotel-The Home
but none has been more important than
that completed last week in the installa-
tion of an electric light plant. The
power to run the dynamo is furnished
from 17-horse power Fairbanks &
Morse gas engine. the gas being made
in gas producer from the regulation
hard nut coal. It takes barrel of
coal, about 2Oo pounds each night,
which would run to about three
tons of coal per month. Mr.. Stevens
has at present 100 lights in operation
but the plant has a capacity of 25O.
The plant is installed underneath the
sidewalk on the west side of the hotel,
and all will soon be covered by con-
crete walk. Mr.. Stevens is we'll pleased
with his plant, which has cost him
nearly $1,000.
j. H. Nagel returned Sunday night
from visit at Glendale and Forbes.
While at the latter place he negotiated
for the purchase of the Forbes Repub-
lican, and if there is no slipup he will
become proprietor of the paper on
September 1st. Mr.. Nagel has been
with the editor of The Times for over
seven years-four years at Glendale
and over three at Oakes-and we have
always found him steady and indus
trious and always pulling for the best
interests of the shop. On his taking
charge of the Republican we look for a
great improvement in the paper. He
left Monday for weeks visit at
his home at Valley City, and before
his return to the county purposes going
to Minneapolis to purchase new type
and machinery. The business men of
