Dr. Willams, of Hume, was in town this afternoon, wearing his Tight arm in a sling Asked for an explanation, he stated that he fell in getting from a train near his town and broke that useful member. The train was a local freight and was in motion at the time Dr. Williams step- pedoff. He carried a grip and it was this fact that caused his downfall. The grip landed against one of his legs just as he landed on terra firma and tripped him.—Rich Hill Review, 7th. The sensational and always popu- lar melodrama, “The New Fast Mail” one of Lincoln J.

The corn show at the court house yesterday, held under the auspeces of the State Board of Agriculture, far {exceeded the expectations of all, and was a credit to Batescounty. There were 56 corn entries, besides displays of cane, potatoes, timothy and broom corn. The northwest basement room was filled and long tables were ex- tended in the centers forthe displays. We go to press before the awards are made. Next week we will give the names of theexhibitors together with the prize winners. Henry Mudd and W. B.

Walls, departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wiley, in Pae- saic on October 31et one year after the death of her husband. She had been sick only a few days, and had been apparently in the very best of health. Miss Eliza Exalandra was | born in Nicholas county, Kentucky, October 19th, 1831. She was mar. tied to W. M. Walls, when she was 20 of deep heart interest, dramatic cli- years old. They eame to Bates MINE EXPLOSION. Four Seriously Injured by Explo- sion of Gas in New Home Mine. Monday morning early there was & severe gas explosion in the new mine on the Wilson place in New Home township, by which three min- ers were seriously burned, two of whom may die. The injured are James McMann, Tom Cobb and Art Doke. Cobb and Doke are neighbor- hood boys and are highly regarded in that community. The mine was idle over Sunday and gas had accumulated, which was discovered by Cobb and Doke, who were trying to get it out by aid of the fan, when McMann approached with his lighted miner’s lamp. The boys warned him of the danger, but he persisted in advancing when the gas was ignited. The explosion was 80 severe that heavy timbers at the mouth of the shaft were wrecked. The shaft was not damaged, and the injured miners were brought to the top and medical aid summoned. McMann, it is thought, will die, and Cobb may not survive his injuries, Miners in other rooms in the mine maxes, humorous and laughable sit- | county in the fall of 1876 and bought uations and withal a beautiful love|a farm in Mound township, where story that twines around the plot. | they lived until three years ago when The passing of the long freight train | they moved to Passaic.

This was the court's ruling in the, case of the United States against, John D. Morris and Bird Barr, two young men who live in the country | near Butler, Bates county. Befere} the federal grand jury finished its labors last night it voted indict- ments against them under the federal statutes making it an offense to mu- tilate or deface a mail box. When Major William Warner, United States district attorney, took| up their cases in court this morning each defendant entered a plea of guilty. In proceeding along a coun- try highway both were seized with a desire to shoot something, and the mail box on a fence post near by furnished a good target; both pro-| ceeded to perforate it with bullet holes, The fine imposed upon these boys is intended in a measure asa warning to other persons possessed of the same degree of skill in mark- manship, A Runaway Bicycle, Terminated with an uglycuton the; leg of J.
