last Saturday, wearing the usual
smile and upon cross-questioning him
| il was found the reason the smile was
little longer than usual is that his
wife, son, Murray and grandson,
James Barabce, are expected to re-
turn home the latter part Of this
week. James Riley won't own up TO
being lonesome and anxious to see
the family, but he will be glad to see
them return home just the same.
Fred Wickersham met with q
very painful accident, on the Jessup
place, last Saturday, where he was
helping a gang of men remove an old
dredge boat from the bed Of Big Tark.
He was using an iron bar as lever,
and in some manner the bar slipped,
striking him on the right hand and
breaking two bones, and above the
right eye cutting quite a cash. He
was hurried TO town, and DIR. Hogan
dressed his wounds and he will be
laid up for several weeks.

along in good shape. considering the

good to "Willie," Saturday and Sum-

some anxiety about the cut-worms

time" Is long time in getting here
this season.
