J. M. Patterson to be a member of th-j
school board and as soon as he takes his
seat, aad before he does a single act,
abuses him and accuses him of being a
cat's paw for a couple of republicans.
Although Mr. Patterson is of different
political faith to us, we think he is a
good citizen, and will not allow himself
to bo used as a cat's paw by
the Journal, but do his duty by the
schools. As he was elected by 00 nia
jority;"we are willing to trust him and be
lieve he will satisfy the majority of the
citizens.

COURT HOUSE BONDS.
This mormnfr the commissioners as
sembled and the first question taken up
was the court house bond subject. A
resolution was introduced by Louis Foltz
instructing the clerk to call a special

A BAD RUNAWAY.
Farmer. Frank Kendall of Union
Has an Unfortunate Clr
cumstance.
Mr. Frank Kendall, a farmer from near
Union, was in town yesterday on busi
ness and on returning to his home last
night was intersepted suddenly and un
fortunately. He was in a light buggy
drawn by a nice and lively sptn of horses
which were rather frisky after having
been standing all day and going home
late in the evening. It was 'about G:30
o'clock when Mr. Kendall started home
down Chicago avenue. The horses went
at a lively gate which they increased to
a run and proved to be a runaway. As
he passed Rock street, the horses goin
at a run hardly under his control he met
Perry's express wagon which stood cross
wise of the street. The front wheel of
the bucrev struck the back wheel of the
wagon and was smashed completely.
Kendall was thrown out, what his head
struck, it is not known, but the back of
his head received a serious scalp wound
and several other seyere bruises. The
county sheriff just then happened to be
coming in from the country and
got out and took Kendall in the buggy
tJ Dr. Livingston's, where his wounds
were dressed and he was then taken to
the Cottage house to bo cared for.. Mr,
Kendall is a well respected farmer, about
4 years of aire, is a G. A. R. man and
fiat organization took him in
night furnishing him a surse.
