News reached Walhalla ycster-
day that DR.. w. b. Milwee, of Green
wood, fell from the steps OF his
home Monday, breaking his arm and
hip. The Doctor has been in poor
health for some time, and it was
feared that his injuries were such
that he would not live through Mon
day night. His niece, Mrs. Fannie
BrenneCke, left Immediately on re-
ceipt of the announcement Of the ac-
cident. No word has since been re-
ceivcd from the aged gentleman,
and iEicnds here hope that the early
grave fears were unfounded.
j. d. Cheek, a prominent farmer
residing below West Union, had Il
narrow escape from serious injury
last Saturday afternoon. AS he was
crossing the Blue Ridge Railway
tracks at the Thomas crossing, about
two miles below West Union, his
buggy was run into by the west
bound passenger train. Fortunately
the engine struck the vehicle a
glanCing blow, Or the results would
have proved fatal to Mr.. Cheek. He
was thrown from his buggy and re-
ceivcd minor bruises, being otherwise
uninjured. His mule tore loose from
the buggy and was uninjured Mr..
Cheek was brought on to Walhalla
on the train and given medical at
tention and thorough examination
for any possible injuries that might
not be apparent to himself or others.
1t was found, however, that his inju-
ries were Of a minor nature. We have
not heard any Of the minute particu-
lars OF the accident, as to RESPONSE
bility for its occurrence.
The Supreme Court recently
handed down decision in the case
of Baxter Roach vs.. The OcOnee Far

Circuit Court. This was an action
brought by Baxter Roach, Il policy
holder in the Insurance company, for
recovery Of payment Of loss sustained
by him IN Il fire which destroyed his
residence and other buildings in
sured against loss by the local COM
panN. ilcumStanceS connected with
he fire were such as to cause doubt
in the minds OF the insurance COM
pany'S officers and directors as to it's
liability for the claim, and payment
was refused. Roach brought an aC-
tiOn in the Circuit Court for recovery,
receiving a verdict for $G9j. From
this finding the insurance company
appealed to the Supreme Court, which
anirms the verdict in the lowe
