We are informed by Dr. G. H. Atkinson of Portland that J, D. Bates of Forest Giove, w hile going to Portland Friday of last weok with a load of wheat fell off of the wagon near Pointer's place s me thrc e miles this side of Port- laud and one of the wheels ran over hi right leg, breaking it just above the ankle. He was taken to the house of Dr. Atkinson where his leg was set. Both bones were broken. And considering that there were over 4,000 pounds of wheat on the wagon he was fortunate o save his limb. His left leg had been broken twice several years ago. He will re main where he is until he is able to come home, which it is thought will not be very long. Since Ihe above wae put in type we lea n that Mr. Bates was taken home the first of this week. He va conveyed caiefully in the cars to Smith's Station(?) where he was re civel by his frieads and taken home on a bed, fi.e 1 in a spring wagon. He is djing as well as could be expected under the circum.st:m C ?s. One day last week while Mr. D. J3. "Wheeler, ot our county, was working roads near his farm he was sent by the boss to the woods to cut some timbers, and after traveling around a while he became bewild ered and struclTout in a run to find Jiis way out of the woods to the working ptrty.

Socially the people of this n. ighborhood were never on better terms of fellowship, and of course they enjoy themselves as only a class of honest and hard-work ing people can. The Emporium Ablaze with Ex-itement Glencoe, the commercial empori um of Egypt, was thrown into great excitement the other morning. A saloon keeper on Fifth Avenue found a fence rail punched through his door, and a blacksmith t u 521 First Street, awaking from his peaceful slumbers discovered that some one . had walked off with his bacon.

When he got home he pitched over an old stove . left in front of Wehring's and went through the window. Frank's hair looks as though it was turning gray. He svys darn a doctor's business if it is all like that. A petition will be pr sented at the next term of court to be held next 5londay for a cl ange of a county road between N. E. Richardson and W.
