w. G. Hewitt went up on the Gunni-
son river fishing last Sunday and during
the day while he was busily engaged in
trying to haul mammoth trout to
shore, large sized boulder slipt down
off one of the canon pinnacles and
dashed into his leg, infiicting a wound
on his shin bone that came dangerously
near breaking the same.
Billy's pins were knocked out from
under him and he came near rolling
into the turbulent waters of the river.
In saving himself he forgot all about
the trout and it got away, soif anybody
else catches a big rainbow up there
with Billy's hook in his fin, just bring
it down to Montrose and turn in the
property,
As a result of the accident, Mr..
Hewitt will be laid up for several days.

before his defeat two years ago.
The Senatorial fights in Nevada,
Kansas and North Dakota were still
in doubt early today, but it is certain
that both the Senate and House will
be controlled by the Democrats. In
the fight upon the "bosses," the re-
suit was a draw so far as Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois are concerned. Boies
Penrose was returned to the Senate
from Pennsylvania, while late returns
show that Roger Sullivan was de-
feated in Illinois by Senator Sher-
man.
Pennsylvania voters made distinc-
ton between Penrose and the rest Of
the Republican ticket, and had the
Democrats and Progressives united
upon one candidate against him It is
believed he might have been defeated.
Governor-elect Brumbaugh, Republic
can, has a majority of 1904 over
Vance Mccormick. who had the sup
port OF the Democrats and Progress
sives. Pinchot and Palmer. Penrose's
two opponents. however, have a ma
DIRTY of 1890 over him. Colonel
Roosevelt wanted the Democrats TO
withdraw Palmer and support Pinchot
but they refused.
The lead of Governor-elect Whit
man over Governor Glynn has gradu-
ally increased with late returns. Il
is now certain that Glynn did moi
carry a single county outside Greater
New York, and Whitman's lead will
reach about 131 600. It now appears

was won by Miss Eva Highfeld. The
socks we're emptied of their contents
and the Sweet Briers we're pleased TO
find they had $50 more for their
treasury. The socks were then scat

take one as a souvenir. Then the

the desperate resistance of the allies.
it has been necessary to feel out every

is explained. makes progress natur-

TWEEDS' MILL AGAIN
farmers GRIST
Historic White Clay Creek
Landmark Back to Original
Purpose Again
FOUND USELESS
AS POWER PLANT

Tweed's Mill, which for probably |
about one hundred and fifty years
has been a familiar land mark along
White Clay Creek. about two miles
northwest OF Newark, after remain
ing idle for some time, has again
been put into operation as a grist
mill.
The mill is now owned by the New
Castle County Electric Company, and
viii be IN charge Of James Willis,
who has had many years Of expert
ence in the milling business along
White Clay Creek.
Tweed's Mil has had a long, useful
and varied career, and as shown by
recent developments, the end is not
yet. but instead it is being put to
work to accommodate the farming
community adjacent to Newark.
During the Mexican War the mill is
said TO have been used to grind bark for
the manufacture Of leather TO be made
into harness and shoes for the army. AT
a later period it was used to grind flint,
About ten years ago the mill was
bought by the White Clay Creek Sup
ply Company, who turned il into an
electric power plant, and transmitted
! the current to Newark, Kcnnett Square
! Avondale, West Grove and vicinity, for
| sale in these sections. This company
! abandoned its use as an electric plant
several years ago, evidently for the rea
son that the water power was not Ia
sufficient volume and could not be de
pended upon for the exciting require
ments of electric power service, which
must be available whenever It Is want
ed without a moments delay.
For many years the fnill was fully
equipped as a Touring as we'll as feed
mill, but when the electric machinery
was placed In the property, the -four
making machinery was removed, al.
though the feed mill was retained
and operated at intermittent periods
during its career as an electric sta
ton.
About one year ago the mill with al
the electric property of the White
Clay Creek Supply Company wa:
sold to the New Castle County Elec
- trio Company, which Is controlled b!
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company.
> Due to the wishes OF the farming
p industry in the locality. desiring tina
the mill be again started to grind fec
for their stock, the traction compan.
has re-arranged and improved tn
mechanical equipment, and ground tn
first feed on Tuesday.
IL is anticipated that sufficien
business may be available to warrar
n keeping the mill in service perma
! lnently.
4 Mr. Willis. or his assistant, will b
, at the mill all day every week da,
TO accommodate anyone who by pi
tronizing the proposition will assur
