ing Experience Saturday
With Mercury II Below

1t is not the usual experience that
counts in the case of Abraham Lee,
62 year old farmer of near Swanton,
and brother of County Treasurer AL
bert L. Lee, of Oakland, for had it
been the probabilities are that Mr..
Lee would now be dead-frozen to
death by the intense cold of last Sat
urday night, but fortunately Mr.. Lee
is still living and will in all probable
ity lose but a small portion of his
anatomy-one toe.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Lee left his
home on horseback to visit a neigh
Dor residing quite distance away,
and feeling the cold he decided to dis
mount from the animals back and
walk awhile to restore circulation.
Dismounting from his horse he at
once noticed that his left side felt
queer and when he attempted to walk
he found that he had lost the power
of locomotion. He then made an at
tempt 10 felnOGut IuS uOISS put was
unable to balance himself and falling
backward his head came in contact
with stone or hard frozen portion of
the roadway and he was rendered I'M
conscious. How long he lay in this
condition is not known, but on Sun
day morning about ten o'cock his
plight was discovered and he was
taken to his home and DR.. limbaugh
of Oakland summoned who, upon eX-
aiming Mr.. Lee found that his entire
left side had been parayzed and that
one foot and one hand and arm had
been frozen, but he has hopes that
only one toe will have to be ampu-
tated.

Her Curiosity Was Aroused

The mayor of a western city re-
ceived the following letter Of inquiry
from an eastern resident:
Kind and respected Cir: see in a
paper that man named John Sipes
was atacted and ct up by bare who's
cubs he was trying to git when the
she bare comes up and stOpt him by
eatin' him up in the mountains near
your town. What | want to know is
did it kill him or was he only partly
ct up and is he from this place and
all about the bare. | don't know but
what he is a distant husband of mine.
My first husband was of that nameand
| supposed he was killed in the war,
but the name of the man the bare ct
being the same | thought it might be
him after all and l ought to'know it
if he wasn't killed either in the war
or by the bare, for | have been mar
ried twice since and there ought to be
divorce papers got out by him or me.
He sings base and has a spread eagle
tattoed on his front chest and a an
ker on his right arm which you will
know him by if the bare did not eat
up these signs of its being him. If
alive don't tell him | am married to
Joe White, for he never liked Joe.
Mebbe you'd better let on as if | am
ded, but find out all you can about
him without his knowing anything
what it is for. That is if the bare
did not eat him all up. If it did l don't
see as you can do anything and you
needn't take any trouble. My respeks
to your family and please ANGER back.
T. S.-Was the bare killed? Also
was he married again and did he
leave any property wuth me laying
elaine to?

the Opinion OF This Correspondent

TO the Editor of The Republican.
The straightforward, vigorous ed

in The Republican Of January 3rd, is
deserving Of the widest reading. It
is to the point and covers the case.
Public sentiment needs to be thor
oughly aroused to the. necessity for
putting stop to drunken driving.
Only one remedy is adequate:
swift, sure, severe penalty to pre-
vent recurrence on the part of the
offender and a warning TO others.

that they shall be protected when rs
