when he slipped and fell to the
tracks. His left foot went under
the wheels and four toes were bad
ly smashed. He may lose the little
toe. He was taken to the Port Jer-
Wis Hospital and was admitted for

Attendants at the County hos
pital at Chicago were unable recent
ly to learn the identity of a patient
who came to the hospital complain
ing that he could not remember his
name or home. The man is about
40 years old and well dressed. He
recalled, under questioning, that he
was born in Liverpool. The man
went to the hospital of his own ac-
cord and said he had been wander
ing around several days and did not

At the present time forty-fve
farmers of Northern Wayne county
deliver milk at the Borden station
at Lakewood. Just at this time the
supply is rather limited, but 5000
quarts being received daily. This
amount will soon be greatly increas-
ed, as new mixers are coming in
daily. With the two premiums ad-
ded during the month of October,
the price paid was $1.90 per 100
pounds. The increase for November
will be still greater, with which fact
the patrons are well pleased.
Mark Bregstein was the recipi-
ent on Monday of a sample of the
kind of poultry that is produced in
Ohio and the same will be prepared
for culinary purposes and will adorn
the Bregstein table on Thanksgiv-
ing day. A chicken and a mammoth
goose were sent by August Breg-
stein, who is conducting the other
store owned by the firm of Bregstein
Brothers at Kenton, Ohio. The
chicken weighed sixteen pounds
while the goose-so Mike says
tipped the scales at GA pounds. That
must surely hold the record for
weight and we doubt If Wayne coun-
ty farmers will believe it.
Mad with pain from the wound
of "a rifle. ball, an immense bear turn
ed upon Charles Herman, one of the
hunters of Rocky Hill Camp, Pike
county, and forced him to run for
his life. Herman took to a tree and
remained there for several hours un-
til discoveed by other members of
the camp. He was weak from con-
tinued suspense and exhaustion
Herman was the chief cook and
bottle washer" of the outfit and it
was with considerable annoyance
that they found him missing upon
the day of the adventure, with no
supper simmering over the fire for
them. Herman said he fired one
shot at the bear, which took effect
then he climbed the tree. The
Rocky Hill camp hunters succeeded
in getting two bucks, twenty-three
pheasants, five jack rabbits and a
large red fox.
Numerous power dams and fills
