Milwaukee Little Hurt.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Preparing for

distinct signs of holding at the present

probable in September.
Diversification has enabled Milwaukee
to pull through the first half year
period with few shutdowns. Half-year
reports by leading industries show as
many gains in sales and net profits
as losses, as compared with the 1929

CHARLES RIDGLEY is BADLY
INJURED IN AN AUTO WRECK

Sunday evening Mr. Charles Ridg-
ley of this place, manager OF the To-
cal Kroger store, and son of True
Ridgley, was badly injured in an
auto accident. He in company with
Dale X. Perkins and Samuel Ben
jamin was on his way home from an
auto trip to New Lexington. When
about mile beyond the Deerfield
church, in negotiating curve on
route No. 81, in some manner Mr..
Ridgley lost control of the car, and
swerving to the left it plunged into
a ditch. tearing the front wheels
from the machine. The impact
threw Ridgley and Benjamin out,
Perkins remaining in the machine.
Ridgley was rendered unconscious
and was apparently in very critical
condition. Medical assistance was
summoned, and he was rushed to
Bethesda hospital, GAINESVILLE. The
X-ray showed that his skull was not
fractured; neither were there any
bones broken about his chest, as
was at first feared. Monday he re-
gained consciousness, and his con-
dition has since seemed more IA
vorable.
The machine, which is Pontiac
coach, was badly damaged.

Aged Man Attempts Suicide

Mr.. Charles Wentz, formerly of
York township. but who for the past
two years has been residing here in
room adjoining the Walter Fin
ley residence, attmepted to take his
| life Wednesday,, soon after noon.
Some time back he purchased a 20
calibre revolver, and told Mrs. Fin
ley and others that he was going to
take his life. He had threatened so
often that little attention was paid
to his threat Wednesday Mrs. Fin
lev took his dinner to him, as had
been the custom for two years,
which he ate, and few minutes
later he placed the revolver to his
right ear and discharged it. The
ball passed through the lower part
of the ear, through his cheek, and
the soft palate and out of his left
cheek While it is an ugly wound
unless complications set in, it is be-
lieved that he will recover. He has
been in failing eyesight, which wor-
ried him very much. He also wor-
ried for fear that he would not have
sufficient means to keep him, al
though it is stated he has plenty.
He states that he is tired Of life and
the reason the shot, did not prove
fatal was because he aimed too low,
he said.
Mr. Wentz is reported this morn
ing as having had bad night. He
is in his Goth year.
