ERNST BRACKHAHN HURT
STRUCK BY BURLINGTON PAS
sENoER NO. Is.

Saturday When Struck--Con-
dition is Serious.

Ernst Brackhahn, who for
years has lived across the Ne

the old Exchange mill, was
struck by Burlington passenger
No. Is last Saturday as he was
returning home and is very
seriously hurt. His ankle is
crushed, his collar bone broken
and it is feared he has internal
Injuries of serious nature.
Mr.. Brackhahn is used to
travelling to and from town by
the Exchange mill road; but
the bridge being out he had to
take the road farther west. He
is not accustomed to going this
road and knowing it was past
train time, he paid less atten-
tion to the trains. A high
hedge obscures an approaching
train from the east and the
team was upon the track before
Mr.. Brackhahn knew it was
near. The frightened horses
hesitated before dashing for
ward and the rear end of the
buggy was struck and smashed
into kindling wood. The horses
escaped uninjured, while Mr..
Brackhahn was thrown up in
the air. The train was stopped
at once and the conductor had
an auto sent for to bring the in
jured man to town. Several
persons saw the accident and
hastened to his assistance. He
was brought to the Moran hos
pital, by his request, and his
injuries were dressed. He is
still in serious condition.

SHAFFER FAMILY REUNION
HELD AT THE OLD HOME FIVE
MILES NORTH OF TOWN
The Family OF Francis Shaffer
Met Friday and field Fam
lily Reunion

One OF the most happy family
gatherings Of the week occurred
last Friday at the old Shaffer
homestead, five miles north of
town when the family of Francis
Shaffer met i'll reunion at the
old home where many of the
family were born and most OF
them grew to manhood and
womanhood.
Over fourty persons attended
the reunion includingMr. Shat
fer's family and a few close
friends and relatives.
1t was an ideal day for such
an assembly and the delightful
weather, the glorious autumn
sunshine heightened the spirit of
pleasure and enjoyment of all
who were present and nothing
was left undone that could add to
the pleasure of the guests and
make the day a memorable one.
At twelve o'clock bountiful
dinner was served, the long table
fairly groaning with the abund-
ance provided. From what we
hear Of the repast we venture to
say that most likely most Of
the guests reached the groaning
state also from the quantity and
variety of the good things serv-
ed.
The afternoon was happy one
all enjoying a real good, old fash
ioned visit with plenty of games
and amusements for the children,
and all who cared TO participate. 4
1t is over forty years since
Mr.. Shaffer, coming fromqSomer-l
set county, Pa, settled ON the old.
homestead, which is now occupied
by his son, f. M. Shaffer. After
his family had grown up and sew
eral married, Mr.. Shaffer gave up,
the farm and moved to town
to enjoy a well earned rest
and the comforts that come from
years of industry and frugality.
Mrs. Shaffer passed away sew
eral years ago and perhaps the
only cloud over the happy day
was the absence of the mother,
who had made the old farm home
one Of the happiest memories of
her children.
Six sons and one daughter,
with eleven grand children and
two great grand children were
with Mr.. Shaffer upon this day.
They were: DR.. C. p. Shaffer
and family, Reedly, CAL; Perry
Shaffer and family, j. A. Shat
fer, Rico, COL; Mrs. II. M.
Steidly, Ft. Collins, Col; F. M.
Shaffer, Harry M. Shaffer and
wife, Reedly, CAL; and Lloyd
Shaffer.
Among the other guests were
Mr.. Shaffer's only sister, Mrs.
Charles Will, and the family of
Ross Will, Harry Will and Mrs. D.
Will and Will Stump, Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis Ankney, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Billman of Lebanon, Kans.
