the barn. Some 80 or 40 yards
from ths barn Mr.. Johnson's
head struck some rails. The

inch back of the hair line on the
forehead to q line back of the
ears. The skull was not fractur.
ed, neither did Mr.. johnson lose
consciousness. The animal stop
ped, near the stable door, and Mr..

chain, and called q dsrkey that
was near by to assist him.
His mother. Mrs. Maud john
son, and brother, Lee johnson,
were notified and they, with DR..
Brummsll, left at once for the
Johnson home.
AS We 60 to press we learn that
Mr.. Johnson is getting along

ture theater is a good thing. 1t
furnishes clean, healthful and
amusement. Some of
the pictures will be of methods of
farming and industries in foreign
countries such as raising coffee,
the manufacture of articles of
daily use in the home, etc.,
pictures of places of which we
ell know, but which we Sll can
not hope to see iE reality"

ing q complete change of pro.
gram at every performance the |
will be 10c for adults
and 90 for children. DR.. Seiser |
will get his films from the Yale
