w. A. Branch, editor of the Clarion
met with q very unfortunate accident
Friday in which the first finger
of his right hand was cut of. He was
doing ome cutting on his paper cut
ter, and while working down the de-
pressing bar he said that in some way
he must have pushed over the lever
that moves the long knife and did
not know it, thinking that it was the
depression bar that was still moving
down. The knife went clear down
to the fiat board and severed the
finger before Mr.. Branch really knew
what happened. The finger was cut
in a slanting manner just back OF the
second joint. 1t will be rather en-
barassing for the editor for a while,
but he will likely learn the use of the
second finger to a greater degree. AS
soon as the accident happened Mr..
Branch hurried overato the Office of
physician and had the wound dress
ed.
What seems to be- good indication
that woman will soon be the equal of
man in all walks of life was demon
strated Monday morning at the court
house when Mrs. Charles Burns came
marching irately in dragging her hus-
dition from looking too long on the
wine when it was red. She asked the
|jailer to lock him up and give him a
chance to get sober after which he
will take his chances in police court.
Last Thursday the Burns moved
here from Sioux Falls and they have
since then been staying at a board
ing house in the city. Last evening
the husband failed to return and this
morning the lady started out to seek
for the missing one, whom she found
in a saloon in a rather intoxicated
condition. She then conducted him
up to the Jail with the result as above
given. 1t is said that Burns is a
painter and decorator although of
late he has been chiefly engaged in
decorating bars.
