r. A. BYREs BADLY INJURED.
One Of Audrain's oldest Citizens
Suffers From a Bad Fall-0ne Of
the Three Survivors of
Party That Crossed the
Plains In 1850.

r. A. (Uncle Dicky) Byrns, who
lives seven miles south OF Mexico,
was seriously injured on Wednesday,
February 20. Mr.. Byrns was standing
In his wagon cutting limbs Off tree,
when bis team wheeled around turn
ing the wagon over on top o. Mr..
Byrns, who was pinned to the ground
for several hours.
Miss Emma Green, daughter Of
]. K. Green, a close neighbor, later
found Mr.. Byrns in this position and
brought assistance Immediately. A
hasty examination disclosed the fact
that no bones were broken, but owing
to Mr.. Byrns' extreme age it is feared
that his injuries may result seriously
Mr.. Byrns is Audrain's oldest set
tier, having come to this county in
the early thirties and for which dis
tinction he was awarded q handsome
medal at the Mexico Chautauqua last
summer. Together with ]. ID. Nor
ris and Rufus Pearson, Of party Of
1872 in all, Mr.. Byrns crossed the plains
In 1850. 1t took them just six months
to make sthe journey, fraught with
many dangers and peris and innumer-
able experiences. Strange to say, the
above named three pioneers are the
only ones now surviving out of the
entire number who made the trip to
the coast in search of gold, the discov'
cry Of which had drawn thousand Of
wealth seekers to California and which
opened this wonderfully productive
state to the eastern emigrant.

CONCERNING

e. r. Locke, in an Interview, States
That Modern Plant Will Not be
Objectionable. Residents Re-
ported as 0bjecting to its
Erection Close to Their
Property

1t is reported that petition is be-
ing circulated, by number Of south
side residents, objecting to the erec'
tion Of the gas plant within one thou
sand feet Of their residences. The
petitioners think that the odor from
such an institution would prove a
nuisance.
Mr.. E. r. Locke, member of the
gas company, was seen by LEDGER
representative, Friday morning, and
had the following to say about the
rumor: ~ know nothing of this
rumored petition but If such a move
is being made, by the residents in the
vicinity Of our property, 1t is through
a .misconception on their part OF the
modern gas plant. And as for pro
hibiting 1t being erected within one
thousand feet Of a residence such a
thing would force us out Of the city
and into to country.
II have visited two modern gas
plants, this week, and both OF them,
are In the most thickly settled part Of

Sensible And Scientific Way to Cure
This Disagreeable Disease.


In no other way can catarFh be cured
as naturally and quickly as by the use
of Hyomei breathed through the neat

In this way all the air that enters
the nasal passages, the throat or the

medication, reaching the most remote
air cells Of the respiratory organs, and
soothing and healing the irritated mu

SO strong is Otis Purdy faith in the
