A car of coarse bran has just
been unloaded and placed in my
ware house that should have been
here one month ago. Not being
loaded and forwarded according to
my order the shippers are liable
for the loss. I will play a iree
hand in making the price and will
guarantee lower prices than any
one else would think of making.
Come now and get your supply
for this month and next, as the
first here will be the first served,
and those that come late may be
disappointed in finding any of this
car left.

Mr. M. E. Reeder's land along
Mill Creek. The factory will be

Geo. Karge of Ringdale, experi
enced a narrow escape from break
ing one of his horse's legs last
week while driving over the cordu
roy road near the boarding house
at Lake Mokoma. The animal's
foot was caught between the wide
ly separated timbers causing it to
stumble and fall. Before the foot
could be released it was necessary
to procure an axe and cut away a
portion of the wood close to the
horse's foot.
The body of Mrs. Emily Andrews,
widow of the late John Andsews,
was found in the Loyal Sock creek,
near Reeders camp, on Sunday
morning. She escaped from the
home of her son, Willis Snyder, with
whom she had been living, and com
mitted suicide by drowning.
Mrs. Andrews had been in poor
health for the last three years, and
prolonged suffering which failed to
yield to continued treatment, caused
her to grow desperately melancholy.
For the past year she has threatened
to take her life, and a constant watch
was kept over her to prevent her
from doing so. On Saturday even
ing Mr. and Mrs. Snyder drove to
Forksville to visit friends where
they remained all night. The home
was left in the care of Mrs. Andrews
and four well grown children of Mr.
Snyder's family. The young peo
ple entertained some of their friends
at a party that evening which kept
them up until a late hour. Before
retiring, the children locked the
doors securely and cared for the
keys as was customary so that Mrs.
Andrews could not escape from the
house during the night. The build
ing being a low one, Mrs. Andrews
made her escape by jumping from
the attic window. When the break
fast had been prepared 011 Sunday
morning it was discovered that Mrs.
Andrews was not about the house.
An investigation soon discovered
foot prints leading to the banks of
the creek but a few rods away. She
traveled down tb Q stream for some
distance to a deep hole where" her
tracks were traceable to the waters
edge. Her lifeless body had floated
several rods to a shallow place in the
creek where it lodged, and lay in
full view of the horrified searchers.
An apron tied about her head served
as a hood. Aside from this she wore
no out-of-door clothing, showing that
she had evidently hurried Jronl the
house to the creek.
Coroner Mcllenry of Dushore was
summoned. He empaneled the fol
lowing jury: Jeremiah Haus, J. E.
Little, A. L. Norterup, Mahlon
Williams, Haryy Williams and P.
S. Warndell. A verdict of suicide
was rendered.
The remains were taken to Nord
mont, her former home, where fun
eral services were held on Tuesday.
