Frank Florine of town of Hebron,
who got his arm caught in a corn
shredder about two weeks ago, is re-
ported suffering from lOck-jaw. Ac-
cording to word received in this city on
Thursday, he was getting weaker and
the doctors held out no expectation OF
recovery. He is over 70 years old.
Geo. Tiffany, while recently in the
act of driving a bull from the yard to
the barn, was attacked by the animal
and severely injured. 1t is said that
the bull rushed Tiffany into a spreader
standing near the barn, and that when
found he was suffering from broken
collar bone and several broken ribs, be-
sides being badly bruised about the
head.
Wednesday, Feb "a, William John
Klettke, a prominent farmer of this
community residing northeast of this
city on the Curtis Mills road, NTH with
an unfortunate accident that after two
DAYS of intense suffering proved fatal
and entered him into final rest. Wed
nesday at o'clock p. M, according to
custom, Mr.. Klettke went to the barn
to let his stock in This done, it is be-
lieved that he started to drive three
year-oid bull into his stall. The animal
undoubtedly rushed Mr.. Klettke into
the stall and knocked him down. His
wife missed him a half hour afterWard
and fearing for his safety went to the
barn to look for him and found him
living unconscious in the stall occupied
by the bull. She Immediately called
for her son and the two removed him
to the house. Later his wife endeav-
ored to find out how the accident hap
pened, but Mr.. Klettke was so weak,
and only partly conscious. that he was
only able to speak few words. Medl-
cal aid might possibly have saved his
life, though he suffered from frac-
tured skull and badly bruised hands.

BLIND WRITER
Of SONGS DIES
Miss Crosby Wrote 5000
Songs, Filling Hymbooks Of
Protestant Churches

Bridgeport Conn, Feb. 12.-Fannie
Crosby. well known hymn writer, died
today at her home here in her 95th
J year.
! Miss Crosby's health had been failing
! for some time. Shortly before the end
4 she became unconscious and remained
so until death. At her bedside was her
niece, Mrs. Henry Booth. and other
members of the family with whom she
/ had long made her hOi7e.
In spite of feeble health, Miss CTos-
I by continued writing hymns up to
I short time before her death.
Wrote 5000 Hymns.
Eight thousand hymns are the work
of Fanny Crosby. No one since the
days Of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts
has made anywhere near as large a
contribution to the gospel song book IS
did the blind writer whose death Oc-
CURED today.
Fanny CrOsby's name was signed SO
regularly as author of one hymn after
another that the hymn books makers Of
a quarter of q century ago were forced
to give her some 200 different pen
names to make it appear that someone
besides the famous writer had contrib
uted
Saved by Grace" Blessed Assur-
ance," Rescue the Perishnig," and
safe in the Arms Of Jesus" are typi-
cal of Fanny CrOsbys most popular re-
ligiOus verses. OF the latter the writer
/ has related an incident showing the
tllltL hdbtS IdplQlLN Win WHICH she
employed her inspirations and her tai
ents of versificatiOn.
Wrote One in 10 Minutes.
W. II. DOane, who wrote the music
for many of her verses, had called one
morning at Miss Crosby's home in New
York.

I said.
Il hurried upstairs and sat down to
write. For some time I was entirely
obvious OF surroundings. When L
came back to my full senses the hymn
was written and was on the paper before
me. I learned that I had only taken
Is minutes. TriumphantIy 1 carried it
down TO AIr. Doane The music he
played then and the words I had hur-
riedly written are the same as used to-
day in singing Safe in the Arms Of
Jesus
1T was my most successful hymn,
and 1 believe it was dictated by the
spirit of the Lord, and that it was
born for q mission"
But Fanny Crosby did not begin
hymn writing until she was over 40
years of age. Fifty years ago she was
best known for her popular melodies
which were whistled all over the coun-
try, such as Proud World Goodby. I'm

had been named for her native state,
Missouri. became Marguerite.
The Obriens had built a paiatial res
idence in L. and begun their climbing,
but the pole had been so we'll creased
that they had made very little head
way One morning at a tennis tourna-

breath, then said in low tohe 10 her
mother;
"Oh. my goodness gracious, if there

Several years before, when the

/ Missouri had become Marguerite. And
( how had this Britisher, who when they
had known him was riding about like
a common cowboy in WOODEN shirt and
I trousers in boots, suddenly become 2
! gentleman in fashionable attire? There
were two shocks, the one a fear that
he would give away their change Of
name, the other that he had an entree
to the circle from which they were
! excluded Besides, it at once occurred
TO Marguerite that she might have
made the mistake of her life in throw
1 ing him over her shoulder
The meeting with the OBriens as
he still supposed them to be, was as
much OF a shock to Missouri's former
lover as it was TO them. Put a man
in strange country where he sees no
women Of his own station and there
is no folly he may not commit with
one of another class. Thus Oldershaw
had begun to recover from his infat-
uatiOn for Missouri as soon as sep
