J. F. Proper and Son Injured.
The Los Angeles Times or December
24 contains a ratlior alarming special from
Long Beach, California, to the effect that
J. F. Proper, the well known oil operator
and business man of Tionesta, and his 12
year-old son. Curtis, had bein seriously
injured. A letter received on Tuesday of
last week from Mrs. Proper Btatos that
both the injured members of the family
were out of danger and would be able to
be out of doors by Now Year's. The spe
cial slates' that .both wero in the hospital,
the son suffering from a fractured Bkull
and the father from brain fever and pos
tibly internal injuries. They werestand
ing on the top of the tobogan slide and
the father was trying to induce his son to
ride down the declivity. The boy was
afraid and the two engaged in a good
nature d scuflle on the wet landing when
the fattier slippod, and be and the boy
wont over the side on to the cement floor,
12 feet below. They were placed on
train and taken to Los Angeles, wi ere
they entered the Pacific hospital. The lad
had a fracture of the skull, but thn inner
bones were not injured. From tbe letter
written by Mrs. Proper, it is evident that
the first accounts of the accident were
considerably exaggerated. Latest re
ports received by friends here aie to the
effect that it was expected that both Mr,
Proper and Curtis would leave the bos.
pital on the 1st inst., and they are prob
ably around again now.

replied :
In receiving this beautiful token, I
wish to thank My fellow workers, em

Inc., and while I appreciate the present
greatly, yet I think the git was too cost

would have been appreciated. And yet I
feel this one, and the good w ill of the

ot this company, in paying for work not
done, and with my best wishes for a
long life, happiness and prosperity,! trust
they will not pass a single Christmas, in
ali the years to come, that they may not
be made as happy as they have made .ne
this Christmas.

Headers ot The Pill bun; Dispatch
Made Happy.
Tho Now Year's number of Hie Pitts
burg Dispatch was a great treat to its
many readers. It consisted of :$2 pages
(just think of it!), containing a complete
resume ol events of 1902, accurate and re
liable. It was not only of interest to the
hundreds of thousands of Dispatch read
ers in the Pittsburg territory, but inval
tisble to 4II, no matter where, for it was
a ready reference to thousands of useful
and interesting items. Undoubtedly it
wan the best number of its kind evcrpub
lislied, and one which could be issutd
only by one of the greatest journals in
the United Stutes.
No wouder the Dispatch enjoys the
largest circulation of an Pittsburg paper!
It is the only He morning paper published
in that city, and that partly accounts lor
its wondorlul popularity. The people
know it pays to buy the best, and it
holds good w ith the Dispatch, for very
few think of the trilling 4 cents dillcrence
(the daily being only 10c by the week.)
Those who are not now taking the Dis
patch should at once subscribe, as they
will not regret it. When you do sub
scribe ask the newsdealer to send nd
gat you a copy of that gnat Keview
Kilition. It alone is worth the prico of a
six months' subscription.
Pittsburgers should be proud of their
gicat paper.
