CAME NEAR BEING A SERIOUS
 FIRE.
 What came near being serious fire occurred at the factory of the Edwin Short Hat Co.,, Friday morning about l o'clock. As it was considerable dam age was done by the fire and water. The fire started in one of the alcohol recovery plants and George W. Won Volkenburg, the night watchman, who was making his rounds of the factory at that time, was badly burned. It is supposed that the vapor from the re- covery plant ignited from the lantern the watchman carried. The prompt action of the sprinkling system sub- dued the flames so that the firemen were able to put out the fire before 1t did great damage.

JOHN SAGENDORF SERIOUSLY
 INJURED.
 John Sagendorf was quite seriously injured in playing ball, last Friday, just at night, the ball striking him in the chest breaking some of the ribs which punctured the lungs causing hemorrhages. Dr Leslie of Bridge water was called who made the injured as comfortable as possible. Recovery will compel close confinement for some time. Had the ball struck oneor two inches from the place it did the result would have been immediately fatal. BRooKFIELD WITHOUT A PYYsI-
 CLAN.
 Dr Sedgewick left town permanently and is now located in the state of New York. This leaves the town now with outa doctor where there has been two for several years. It is good oppor- tunity for some one to come in and oc- cupy the field.

While it was sufficient to promote growth in corn and tobacco it would very materially help late pieces of po- tatoes but not start 'grass or springs, wells and most streams.
