Ben Orthmey er met with a rather
insulting steer last week. He was
about to make beef of the steer, and
had got as far as the operation of
removing the hide. when the brute
arose in wrath and swiped Bennie
an awful smote on the snoot, with
the result that he left the steer
severely alone and came to town,
where two stitches were taken in
his nose and several plasters stuck
over that member and the cheeks.
/ We not long ago copied an article
in the Slope Advocate. published at
Gwyther. to the effect that Joe Let
ner, formerly of Livona, had died in
Iowa of glanders Now comes the
same authority with statement to
the effect that his informant had
had a pipe dream or had maliciously
misrepresented the case. and Joe
sends word from Council Bluffs that
he refuses to be dead. The correc-
tion of the report is most cheerfully
made, and we join the Advocate ed
1 itor in expression of opinion Of the
son-of-a-gun who got his wires
crossed.
E.mmons county friends Of John
Hayes, of Wabasha, Mimi, will be
| grieved to learn that he has recently
| had one of his feet amputated Mr..
4 Hayes visited Hazelton and Brad
4 dock early in November in company
| with our erstwhile photographer,
3 +. j Bauer, and at that time his
foot was beginning to bother him,
/ but it was not thought the sore was
serious. The foot kept growing
worse, however, until about two
weeks ago, when he was removed
to a hospital and the foot was am
putated. MIR. Hayes is quite we'll
known to Emmons county people,
and still owns farm over near
Braddock.
About daylight on Wednesday
morning of last week, while harness
ing his team before starting for the
coal mine, the horses knocked a Ian
tern from hook in Harvey Wilson s
barn, setting the structure on fire.
One team was burned with the
barn. MIR. Wilson being unable tc
rescue them The fire burned
tiercely. In less than half an hour
from the time people saw the blaze
from Hazelton the barn was a mass
of ruins. The loss was a very un-
fortunate one for Mr.. Wilson, ard
will work a rather severe hardship
on the remaining stock for time,
until new quartes can be provided.
