Rosse Case received word yesterday that his boy who is visiting at Lyndon had a narrow escape from a serious injury in a runaway. He was alone in the buggy when the horse became unmanageable and ran and he jumped while the horse was running at full speed. But, aside from some painful bruises that will lay him up for a few days, he was not hurt. Soon after he jumped, the buggy struck a telephone pole and was smashed all to pieces. Rosse says that he has always had a theory that a person should never jump from a buggy when in a runaway, but that he is mighty thankful that is boy didn’t follow his theory in this case.

For Sale

Imported Stallions and Mares

Wiley & Sons of Elmdale, Kansas, have just returned from England and France, bringing 20 blooded mares and stallions, and more will be shipped in the fall. Stock can be seen at the farm near Elmdale.

A strong flow of water was struck this morning in the city well at the power plant and there seems little doubt that there will be plenty of water.

Main street and the park were lighted up again Saturday night just as during Chautauqua. Everyone seems to agree that a large number of small lights make a more attractive appearance than a few large arc lights. The work on the power house is being pushed and in a short time we will have the streets lighted every night.
