]. Y. GOSsETT BADLY BIT.
TEN ON CHEEK BY MARE

Last Tuesday morning as Mr.. j .
y. Gossett, who lives about ~
miles northeast of town, was feed
ing his stock in the barn, and while
standing In the hall of the barn push.
ing the feed down in the manager, a
mare III one of the stalls reached
out her head and grabbed his right
cheek with her teeth, biting out IA
piece about the size of silver dol
lar. The wound Is an ugly and Sc
we're one, the mares teeth going
just through to the inside. Dr.
English, who was called to treat the
injury, says he thinks the wound is
not so deep but that it will heal by
granulation If no complications set
In, but ii will take long time. The
mare had given birth to colt the
evening before and was probably
nervous or irritated by something,
as she was not supposed to be vi
cious.
Mr.. Gossett is doubly unfortun-
ate. His place was in the track Of
the tornado last Saturday night and
his house was lifted almost off the
foundation and twisted around, one
of his barns was blown down ana
another partially wrecked, besides
other damage to his farm.

ployees of the Benedict factory to
the doors of the shop.

business agent Of the United Gar
ment Workers, of Brooklyn, and Mr..
Marotto addressed the strikers at the
meeting yesterday.

from our ranks" said Marotto, "and
we are adding to them continually.
The men gave three cheers for the
strike yesterday and they are all sat-
isfied with the progress we are max
ing in their behalf"

ers in the city there are about half
that number already on strike, and it

ceded to the demands Of the strikers
