While assisting in unloading some
heavy timber sticks from a car on the
runway of the new sawmill at Kellett-
ville, a couple of weeks ago, George, the
19-year-old son of Henry Parker, who
lives at Uolinza, was thrown several feet
violently to the ground by the toppling
over of the lumber pile, aud sustained
many severe bruises about the body and
bad bis right arm broken in three places
below the elbow. He was gendered un
conscious by the injuries aud for a time
It was thought he was dead. Drs. Delar
and Serrlll were summoned and reduced
the fractures of his arm and dressed his
other wounds, since which the young
man has been doing well.
Dr. J. C. Dunn had an exciting time
and a narrow escape from serious injury

cross, the horses became Irightened at the
whistle of a passing freight and plunged
into the river, both men and horses goiug
into a deep hole. The buggy was com
pletely overturned and for a few minutes
there wus something doing. The men
rmlnklv not ashore and captured the

horses who had broken loose aud started

the buggy was badly wrecked and the
horses somewhat out up on the Jagged
rocks.
A case of Interest In a pecuniary way
to a great many people in Pennsylvania
was decided In Erie county courts a lew
days ago. S. II. Willis, a resident of Erie
county, who owns a farm In Millcreek
township, last week brought the case to
test that provision of the new supervisor
law which Imposes a tax of $1 upon every
taxable in addition to the regular millage
tax. Mr. Willis paid the tax levied upon
his property, but refused to pay the added
dollar. The court says the provision does
nol apply to a non-resident, as it is not
levied upon property, but against the
nerson in the nature of a poll-tax. The
taxing power of a township cannot be ex
tended so as to embrace a personal tax
cralnst a non-resident. A porsonal tax
can be levied only at the place of resi
dence.

Jr.. met with an accidont while tutting

the stroke so as to strike the right side
of ycung Blum with the full width of the
sharp blade, inflicting a terrible wound.
Three of his ribs were severed and the
liver and lung penetrated. The young
man, who Is aged about 18 yeais, was
conveyed to his home where Drs. Detar
and Serrill attended him. Notwithstand
ing the serious nature of his injuries the
boy has progressed so well that his phy
sicians expect him to fully recover.

Do Men Enjoy
All the "guff" written of clothing! Do they like the eter
nal harangue about bargains! For our part wc don't be
lieve they do. Any sensible man knows very well that a
good Suit or Overcoat cannot be bought for a few dollars.
There arc suits and top coats made to retail for $i and $o
but the men who come here would not have them as a gift.
Our $20 Suits arc Worth $20.
Many people have said they give them more satisfaction
than any 25.00 or 30.00 suit they ever wore. We admit
this is undeniably true, but we don't claim that the suits
are actually worth 25.00 or 30.00. A garment is only
worth the least you can get it for, in our opinion.
A Splendid Variety of These Suits
In grays, blues and patterns with close fitting collar, flared
skirt, peg-top trousers, 20.00.
Other Suits, $10, $12, $15 up to $25.
