Good Thunder Herald: On Friday
of last week Frank P. Fairchild, our
local real estate man, w. H. Whit
more, prospective land buyer from
Huntley, and Otto Peterson of Gar
Gen City, were being conducted
through the country in G. e. Flem-
ing's car. Returning home, their
way lay across the bridge at Vernon
Center, which is approached from a
hill and a sharp curve. Unfamiliar
with the road, Mr.. Fleming did not
make the turn quick enough and
the car crashed into bridge truss,
but skewed and remained on the
bridge, otherwise it would have dash
ed to the river below, a distance of
over twenty feet. Messrs Fairchild
and Whitmore occupied the rear seat
and they were thrown heavily to the
floor of the bridge. Messrs. Elem.
ing and Peterson remained in the
car, but the latter gentleman was
thrown forward and went partially
through the wind shield of the car,
but neither of the two received any
injury. Mr.. Whitmore struck on his
head and was rendered unconscious,
remaining in this state so long that
internal injuries were feared He was
cared for at the Vernon hotel and
was later taken to his home. At last
report we learn that he is nicely re-
covering. Mr. Fairchild was thrown,
on top of Mr.. Whitmore and his fall
was thus lessened. He was brought
to his home here, his principal in
jury being in the right hip Owing
to his f1eshy condition, the nature
of his injury was hard to determine.
Yesterday he was given an anaes-
thetic and a bad dislocation of the
hip was discovered, which was put
back in place and his speedy recov-
ery is now looked for

HUNTER LOST IN A FOG
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Henry Madison had an exciting ex-
perience on Swan lake yesterday
morning. He was on the lake in
boat during the fog and became lost.
He started for shore and rowed
about an hour and half when he
discovered that he was back where
he had started from. He then de-
cided to wait until the fog disappear
ed, if he waited all day. He was
sitting quietly in his boat when all
of a sudden he heard shots close by.
He whistled and called and instead
of the shots ceasing there was an
other furry and several more whizzed
around him. He started then to row
and rowed right toward the place
where the shots came from, and dis
covered two other members of his
party, who did not know that Mr..
Madison was on that part of the lake.

Bystander. This play was the talk of
London last spring and summer, and
its author was hailed by its critics
there as the most original Of the new
writer's for the stage The title, The
New Sin" has reference TO the sin of
living when death would result in the
benefit of others. Thus, the hero of
THE New SIM" having been a scape-
grace, is so punished in his rich faith

divided until the young mans death.
This means that none of his six broth

til the eldest sons death: and, as he
is the only one of the seven children
capable of earning a livelihood, he is
put in the position OF permitting his
life to stand in the way of the happi-
ness of the six others.
The play is really a satire aimed at
the fault of the rich who permit their
children TO grow up without learning
useful trade or craft, and therefore
