Randleman, who is connected with Conway & Co. at Marshfield, was in Bandon on business Monday. His face is pretty badly scarred as the result of having been run ovei by an auto truck at Marshfield on the day the armistice terms were cele brated. He says that the injuries didn't affect his disposition a bit; neither his optimism.
