CAPTAIN H. 7. BALDWIN
INJURED IN A STORM

The son of Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Baldwin, who reside near Milford. just
beyond Rae's Mill, was a victim of the
storm of last week, which brought the
cold weather. The telegraphic news of
last Sunday tells the following facts of
Captain Baldwin's heroic devotion to
duty as follows:
With his left leg broken and in splints
Captain H. I. Baldwin, of the three
masted schoonerJ. E. DuBignon, brought
that badly crippled vessel into port on
Saturday after passing through one of
the worst experiences of his life. The
DuBignon was bound from Boston, and
while en-rOute down the coast encOun-
tered gale. Captain Baldwin says the
wind reached a velocity of 65 miles an
hour and mountain high wave swept
over his vessel while he was at the
wheel and hurling a big timber against
his leg broke it near the knee.
Members of the crew of the schooner
say Captain Baldwin, although suffering
great pain, refused to leave the wheel
while his vessel was wallowing in the
heavy seas. With his broken leg dang
ling helplessly, Captain Baldwin braced
himself against the wheel and success
fully guided his vessel through the worst
of the storm. Then members of the
crew carried him to his cabin, where
the captain set the broken bones himself
and placed the leg in splints consisting
of two pieces of board tied together
with a rope. The job was successful,
however. In fact, the bones were so
well set, that after physicians examined
the leg, it was found that it would not
be necessary to reset it.
The schooner lost her mainsail, fore
sail, fOreboOm and one gaf during the
blow. Captain Baldwin, with the aid of
an improvsed crutch, superintended the
docking of his vessel at marine railways
where she will receive repairs.

A VERY INTERESTING
referee TRIAL He Ard

Last Saturday at the Office of Ira W.
Joseph, Justice of the Peace, a very in
taresting case was heard between Will
liam B. Tomlinson of Milton, landlord,
and Harry Wilcutts of Magnolia, a for
naer tenant of TomlinsOn. The case was
originally started before Gardner W..
Joseph, late magistrate, and was carried
into court on the appeal of Wilcutts,
and through the respective attorneys,
J. Hall Anderson for the defendant and
Robert P. Davis for the plaintiff, the
case was referred out of court, the two
attorneys naming Ira w. Joseph and
Thomas A. Kirby as referees, with the
right given to them to name the third
referee, they naming George H. Davis,
Of Jehu, as the third one to try the case.
The plaintiff, William B. Tomlinson, had
brought an action against Wilcutts to
recover $500. 90, an amount he claimed
due him for various kinds of seed used
on the farm and a portion of the rent
corn. The case was very ably presented
by Mr.. Davis and MIR. Anderson, and
the referees found in favor of the de-
fandant for the costs.

MILFORD neck WOMAN
NOW GROWING COTTON

Mrs Samuel E. Bickel wife of one of
Milford Necks prominent farmers. start
ed a little enterprise of her own last
spring, and one which has turned out
very successfully. She needed consider
able raw cotton for domestic purpose,
and the price has ranged higher than she
desired to pay. The need was not of
great emergency so Mrs. Bickel secured
the seed of cotton and after having her
husband direct the men to prepare the
ground, she saw that the cotton seed
were properly planted. They soon
sprouted and grew thrifty, and under
the care of Mrs. Bickel, the cultivation
was ample and at the proper time, so
that the results has been that she has
picked cotton this past fall and late
winter, tnd now has all the raw cotton
she needs, and some to spare, for the
lining of quilts and other domestic
purposes. Besides the profit in the
enterprise, Mrs. Bickel has enjoyed
watching the beautiful flowers of the
cotton and the forming and opening of
the bOls as they ripened. Delaware will
grow any thing proftably that can be
grown in the temperate zone, and Della
ware women are the most thrifty and
long-headed business women on earth.
They know how to get what they want
in a practical way that tells moral
truth to the balance of the people. Mrs.
Bickel will repeat the experience and
exhibit the cotton at the next annual
show to be held next fall dy the Milford
Grange.
