Postmaster O. B. Mellick, O. W.
Ent, and one or two others, enjoyed a
hunting expedition up the creek this
week. If they had hit everything
they shot at, game would have been
scarce for several seasons to come—
but they didn't, and there is still a
few quail left.
The past October will go down
into history as one during the house
keeper with comfort in his mind's eye
had to run his furnace, his refrigera
tor, his lawn mower, and his hose, be
sides keeping his umbrella, macken
tosh and gum shoes handy all at the
same time.
Dr. C. S. Van Horn returned on

ed of two pheasants, forty-three quail,

wild ducks. Whether it was Doc's
good shooting or the over abundance
of game in the woods we are unable
to say, but he got 'em just the same.

Saints' Church, Harrison, erected to
the glory of God and in loving mem-
I ory of Louise Kirkby, by her father,
the Rev. VV. W. Kirkby, D. D., and

Hurt by a Runaway Horse.
George Ivey, son of dairyman
I Richard Ivey was seriously hurt Fri
| day afternoon, while trying to stop a
j runaway horse belonging to H. E.
Heacock, which was hitched to the
| Steam Laundry Wagon. The animal
| had been left standing on Center
I Street untied, and became frightened
j at some paper flying about and start
ed up the street on a dead run.
Young Ivey, was just passing Alexan
der Bros.' tobacco store as the horse
came dashing around the corner of
Main and Center. He rushed out
and made a grab for the bridal, but
missed it and got hold of the breast
| strap. He could not keep his feet and
fell being dragged a considerable dis
tance. He was picked up in an uncon
scious condition, and taken into Dr.
I. W. Willits' office in the Exchange
block. An examination showed an ugly
wound on one side of his head made
no doubt by the horse's foot, and a
severe bruise on his right leg. After
the wounds were dressed, he was
placed in a conveyance and taken to
his home over near the Red Mill.
It was several hours before he regain
ed consciousness. From last accounts
he is getting along as well as can be
expected.
