Tbe Coleman Company mill at Johns

Liveryman J, L. Hepler met with an
accident Saturday afternoon which might
easily have ended fatally for both bim
self aud the companion who vus with
him. He bsd started for a drive and to
exercise a new and rather speedy horse
hitched to a new buggy. With bim was
George Armstrong of Jamestown, N. Y,
When near tbe Tubha run bridge he un
dertook to pass a loaded wagon in a nar
row place in tbe mad when tbe bub of the
buggy wheel collided with tbe tire of tbe
W4gon wheel, throwing both occupants
out with terrific force. Mr. Hepler was
thrown on bis face which was badly lorn
and lacerated on the bard macadam road,
and one arm was severely wrenched but
no bones were broken. Mr. Armstrong
escsped with lesser injuries but was con
siderably bruised, and both men were
rendered unconscious for several min
utes. In tbe collision the horse tore loose
from the buggy and ran some distance up
tbe road where be was caught and brought
back to town. A passing buggy brought
tbe injured men to town where Mr. Ilep
ler's wounds were dressed, and he is re
covering at borne. Mr. Armstrong was
able to return to bis borne in Jamestown
on the evening train feeling pretty sore
In spots, but not needing tbe alteutlon of
abnysician. Tbe buggy was badly demolished,
Christopher Zuendel, one of tbe pio
neer residents of this community, and
veteian of tbe civil war, was a visitor In
town Thursday. He lately aold bis farm
at the mouth (''RpBg Run, Kingsley
township, to Frank1 Truelove, a former
resident of New York state, and owing to
impaired health and advanced years, will
retire from active labor and bustle. Mr,
Zuendel, who was burn In Germany Deo,
4, 1836, came to this country with bia
father In 1840, when only a little more
than three years of age, and bas since
lived in this community wblch was then
very much of a wilderness. He was one
of tbe bnys that shouldered his musket In
'61 to do battle for Uncle Sam, serving
until disabled by a bullet from the
enemy, from tbe effects of which be never
entirely recovered,
Will II. Hunter, drilling on a lease
on Jamleson run for Proper Brothers,
met with a very painful accident Satur
day afternoon that will likely incapaci
tate him for work for several weeks.
While wiping the pulley of the engine
tbe left sleeve of his blouse was caught by
Ihe belt clamp and he was thrown in
such a maimer as to draw bis right arm
under tbe belt and over tbe pulley,
causing a compound fracture of the right
forearm between tbe wrist and elbow.
He walked all the way borne, a distance
ol abont three miles, and it was several
hours before the services of a physician
could be secured and the fractures re
duced. Although suffering considerable
pain "Billy" is mending all right and
will be able to walk out soon, but tome
time will doubtless elapse before be can
again turn the teuiper screw.

lowances being made for 20 for each man.
This will require 800 cooks and as many
helpers and 125 bakers, tbe baking l: be
done In field bakeries and tbe preparation
of meals in field kitchens. Tbe feeding
of tbis army of veterana will require
40.000 mess kits, comprising one plate,
cup, knife, fork and spoons for each man.
In the camp will be over 9,500 tents,
which will be pitched in fields not far
from Ihe scene of Pickett's charge and
close to tbe trolley line. Tbia camp will

' Globe Hotel Barn Burned.
The large barn connected with the
Globe Hotel at West Hickory, Harry
Canfield, proprietor, burned up at an
early hour Monday morning. The origin
of the lire is a profound mystery. Peo
ple wbo passed in tbe vicinity of tbe
property between 11 and 12 o'clock Sun
day night noticed nothing unusual about
the premises At 1:00 o'clock Monday
morning two dogs that were kept In tbe
barn woke Mrs. Canfield by their bark
ing, and it was then the lire was discov
ered it having originated in tbe hay in
the upper part or tbe barn. Tbe alarm
quickly spread throughout tbe slumber
ing villsge, and it seemed no time until
every Inhabitant was on the ground and
working most valiantly to save adjacent
buildings, and by almost superhuman
effort the fire was confined to the one
building.
Eight horses aud two cows boused in
tbe bam were released snd saved, as were
also three of Mr, Canfield's best buggies
and some other articles of less value, but
nothing was saved from the upper stories,
iu which were stored a number of sleighs,
robes and otbor goods for winter use.
Several tona of bay aud a large lot of
grain and feed were burned. An addition,
enlarging the barn to double its' former
capucily, was built only last fall, so that
Mr. Cautield estimates his loss at not less
than 1,000. upon which be carried but
$1,2(10 insurance.
Tbe barn was almost surrounded by
other buildings, some of tbem witbiu
two or three reel or it, and tbat these were
saved ia almost unbelleveable. Tbe men
worked like Trojans for fully three hours
before tbe flames were subdued aud other
proper y rescued. Two strings or hose
from the tannery force-pumps kept
streams of water playing on the lire aud
other buildings, which contributed large
ly toward tbe saving of these properties
and tbe botel itself. Tbe Wbeeler & Du-
senbury fire engine was sent over from
Endeavor, but the fire by that time was
under control.
Mr. Canfield desires to publicly express
bis gratitude to tbe men through whose
great efforts so much property was saved
from destruction.

Ed. Republican : Tbe balmy climate
of southern California bas Improved my
health and I am getting along fine, with
tbe exception of being lonesome without
my family and tbe association ol my old
friends. . , ' '
This is a fine country in which to live.
Aside from tbe bad freeze tbey had about
tbe first of the year when It Iroze most of
the citrus fruits, tbe thermometer bas
ranged from 60 to 72 days and from 38'
to 50 at night, all winter. The flowers
are now blooming profusely again and
tbe gardens are growing fine, although
they claim there was not the regular
quota of rain tbis spring and tbe rainy
season is considered now passed.
This is quite a pretty place but some
what scattered on account of a fourteen
hundred acre tract left In ihe middle of
it for park purposes, in which they are
now building the Panama Exposition
buildings. There is quite a building
boom on now. The permits last year
amounted to over a million dollar's,
Beautiful, typical California buugalos
constitute tbe architectural designs for
tbe residences In most part. There are
quite a number of apartment, office and
botel buildings underwayofconstructlon.
Hoping tbis will find you and your
