Our friend James S. Brattan,
formerly assistant editor of the
NEWS, and now managing editor
of the Mount Union News, had
a six weeks spell of sickness,
and was just getting on his feet
again, when a big touring car
ran him down in one of the
streets of that city, and just
stopped in the nick of time to
save crushing his life out. We
are glad to note that he is again
on the job, and good as ever.
