Mrs. T. t. Baldwin and her mother,
Mrs. Phoebe Farmer, were out driv-
ing last Friday afternoon when the
hail storm came up SO suddenly. They
were just south of the bridge between
here and Arcadia and, fearing their
horse might become frightened,
thought they would seek shelter in a
nearby house until the storm had
passed. Mrs. Baldwin got out of the
rig safely, but Mrs. Farmer was not SO
fortunate, and in attempting to alight
fell and broke both bones in one of
her arms. 1t was quite a serious ac-
cident for n of Mrs. Farmers age,
but we are glad to announce she is
getting along nicely and there prom
ises to be no lasting injury.

month. The day the show came Their
also came a blizzard and snow storm
and the thermometer went down t
thirteen below! Mighty bad weathe
that for a circus and even an attemp
at giving a performance was out @
the question. The big boa-constricto
in the side show was frozen to deatl
and the animals from the tropics il
the menagerie suffered greatly. AL
further dates were cancelled, and tn
snow and ice laden trains ''hiked out
next day for winter quarters.
