He says he heard it snap back in place as he worked his hand, but it is still badly swollen. Conrad Preister of Fehlerville has become nearly a fixture in Frog Pond. He has a sister living there. They had quite a scare at Wm Shaltz short time ago. There a-e two stove-pipe holes into one flue, one higher than the other, the lower one is disused and is in a bedroom and had been stuffed in the summer with paper, which caught fire while the family were at supper. The burning paper fell up on a bed and. burned. ,hilf of it together with a pile of freshly ironeX clothes and a basket of children's stockings standing near by.
