Emory Witherell, who is with the
crew that is engaged in picking up the
Wheeler & Dusenbury timber along the
Allegheny, brings us a natural curiosity
which he found on bis trip at the mouth
of Hickory creek. It consists of a fair
sized river "hard-bead," In which iB a
round bole or crevice that has the appear
ance of having been dug out with some
sharp instrument, and which would
answer quite handily tor an ink well.
Emory thinks it might have been used
as such by the old Indian chief Corn
planter, the only missing evldeuce to
confirm such a theory being the question
as to whether that well remembered old
guy ever had use for such a commodity.

They have a tent and complete cooking
outfit so that they can put up anywhere
for a day or two very conveniently, and
live quite comfortably while they have
such an artistic chef as Emory Witherell
to provide the provender. While the logs
are badly scattered and lodged In almost

Double Accident on Log Train.
Monday forenoon Charles and Leslie
Deshner, brothers residing at Mayburg,
and both married, were severely hurt
while earring logs to the lumber mill at
Mayburg. Charles is tbe engineer of the
train and Leslie is the conductor. The
train had gone down to Bear creek and at
least one car had been loaded, and the two
men were out attending to the switching
while the fireman was attending the en
gine. The method of loading tbe cars is
to put on a partial load, building it wider
at the top and in a sort of trough-like
shape; over these then tbe binder chains
are secured and more logs are rolled upon
tbe top of the load and act as a "binder"
to the chains. The top logs are not fas
tened or bound. In coming down a short
grade one of these loose logs rolled off
and struck Charles Desbner knocking
blm down. His brother jumped to his
relief Instantly, and at that moment a
second log rolled off and caught Leslie's
left leg between the rail aud the end of
the log, crushing the foot and ankle into
a pulp, making hia injuries much worse
than those of IiIb brother Charles, whose
hurts consist of a badly bruised shoulder
and limbs, but who Bustaiued no bone
fraotures.
Both men were taken to Kellettville on
the engine and given temporary relief
aud afterward were taken to their homes
at Mayburg. Charles was getting along
well at last accounts under the care of
Drs. Detar and Serrill, who fear, how
ever, that Leslie's Injuries are of such a
nature that amputation of the leg above
tbe ankle Is the only alternative.
