TWO LADIES BRUISED
In A RUNAWAY

Jack Tewalt is the proud possessor
of one Of the finest teams in the eoun-
ty, and probably the only one of its
kind in existence-the Pony Percher-
on team bred by that veteran horse
man, Levi Echhardt, and lately owned
by Geo. Hornby--and thereon hangs q
tale. Jack has owned staid old well
behaved team for the past sixteen
years. Mrs. Tewalt, in company with
Mrs. Taylor, were driving the old team
down the Charlie Grub hill east Of the
city on Saturday. Suddenly one of
the horses started to kick and away
they went down the hill The chances
of the two ladies looked mighty slim
for few seconds, but fortunately the
buggy landed in some thick brush
which prevented it's being overturned
Both of the ladies were badly bruised
but sustained no broken bones. And
that's why Jack now drives the team
of docile Pony Percherons. M

TIC THE VOTERS OF HAN
COCK COUNTY.

AS the Republican nominee foI
Trustee for Hancock County
and owing to the short time II
which l will have to canvass the
county, | take this method Of
bringing my candidacy befofl
the voters both ladies and gentle.
men of all political parties and
affiliations. 1t is my aim to
make as thorough canvass as
possible. yet if | should fail to
see all the voters l solicit your
aid and support just the same.
Lean truthfully say that | have
stood fairly and squarely by every
promise and pledge that was
made by me during the Primary
and the one and only promise
that Imade to the voters namely,
if elected, to make a fair and
honest trustee, handling the
county funds carefully and in n
business like manner, is the plat
form on which | come to you now.
wish to call the attention Of
every fair minded voter to the
pledges that we made on enter
ing the primary. and the utter
disregard my opponent has shown
for his word of honor and moral
obligations. Among other things
We pledged our honor not to use
any money or other means for
illegally influencing or procuring
votes. This pledge was compile
tely disre garded by my opponent
who freely used money in the
buying of votes. Another requi-
site for entrance. was the pledge
of each and every candidate to
support the one who won the
nomination. This is another
case OF my opponent ignoring. his |.
word and moral obligation, and
now through a frenzy of political
enters the final race as
a bolter or Independent.
All / ask at the hand of the
voters is. that you carefully con-
slider this race with the better
ment of the county in view and
EAST your vote likewise.
Respectfully Your,
Robert l.. Seal. $
