INJURED BY A FALL
FROM MOTOR CYCLE

AS Lee Danger a young man of 80
years OF age was riding his motorcycle
from his home in Waverly to Paw Paw
last Wednesday morning he had the mis-
fortune to ride into a rope that had been
stretched across the road to keep the
travelling public from passing over the
road that the workmen we're fixing. 1t
was rather shady and the young man
did not notice the rope and was going
with such speed that it caught him
directly under che chin and threw him
backward several feet and when striking
the ground hit sqnarelv on the back of
head. He was picked up Unconscious
and carried into the home OF Joe Kline
who lives on the corner. Dr's Hoyt and
Maxwell we're summoned and it was tirst
thought that his neck had been broken.
but later decided differently. He was
taken to his home in the afternoon and
10 getting along as we'll as could be ex.
pected.

ed to give space to the above
letter by Mr.. Burger, chairman
of the Board of Supervisors.
The article, however, throws
very little additional light on the
matter in question, nor does il
require an extended reply. The
people of Van Buren, County
are reasonably we'll informed on
1.-THE Notorious" meeting of the
board as Mr.. Burger refers to it,
and would undoubtedly prefer to
forget it, for the time being at
least.
AS already stated in these col.
ums The True Nor therner has no
criticism for Mr.. Burger as
chairman, or the manner in which
he was elected. He is one of the
strong members of the board
and Will of course make an ex-
cellent chairman. Neither are
our readers interested in the
number of times the writer
has visited the board while in
session during the past ten years
or for what purpose. We are
surprised, however, that Mr..
Burger should permit such
statement over his signature.
