LenfeSt ATTENDED MIN, the former
taking the injured man home in
his car, and we understand that
the physicians entertain hope of
saving the foot provided unfore-
seen complication do not set in.
Comrade Bill Wetherbee, after
an absence of some eighteen
months, showed up in the city
on Friday of last week, and our
old friend and compatriot, not
withstanding the seventy odd
years that he is Juggling about
on his spacious should ders and the
further fact that he took unto
himself a wife a year or so ago,
don't look one whit the worse
for the years or wear than when
he bade The Tribune an affect
ionate farewell on taking his
departure from the city as above
stated. We were naturally de-
lighted to again meet "old Bill, Z"
and why? Simply because he is
as good as friend and unrelent-
less a foe as one would run ac-
ross in the human kind in a
years travel, and in fact it
might take twice that time to
find another Bill Wetherbee.
He's here to look a wee after his
farming interests, being " the
happy owner Of the best 160-
acre farm in this part of the
country, located but a short dis
tance' north of the !: city, ! y: and
which the same was this year
cropped by Herman Radenz,
whom Bill declares is a man af-
ter his own heart. Comrade Wet
herbee was among the pioneers Of
the Bowbells country and assur-
es us that he will in all probabil-
ity return here at an early day
to make a permanent home on
the old homestead,
