O. A. Baxter Seriously Injured.
Oliver Haxter, the oldest son of
Mrs. Joanna Haxter, was serious
ly injured on his farm near
Coyote, Montana, recently. He
was plowing with a gang plow,
using six horses, and as he turn
ed a corner of his land the double
tree caught in the wheel, the plow
turned over and Oliver was thrown
from the seat, causing the lines to
tangle in such a way as to cause
him to loose control of the horses.
He succeeded in patching the
spirited animals some forty rods
away, but as be did this his wife
saw him fall to the ground. She
immediately rushed to him and
found him unconscious. The
fall from the seat or the run he
had made for the horses caused a
hemorrhage, followed by a stroke
of paralysis of the right side.
Al this writing the nurse thinks
he is getting along as well as
could be expected. Oliver spent
his boyhood days on a farm near
Murray and has many friends
here who join in wishing him a
speedy and complete recovery.
Little One on Road to Recovery.
Word has been received by
Mrs. Joanna Haxter from Chey
enne, Wyo., that her grandson,
Theodore Daniel, the little 1-year-old
son of Mr. arid Mrs.
Krnest Haxter, is, after an ill
ness of over two months, on the
road to recovery. He was at
death's door many limes from the
effects of a bad siege of bronchial
pneumonia, and although two
trained nurses worked over him,
it seemed at times h was cross
ing the line. Krnest and his wife
are very thankful to know that
they still have their little one.
Hut have another sorrow fol
lowing in the injury of O. A.
Haxter.

Counterfeiter in Jail.
William Fink of Hrooklyn, N.
Y., was sentenced to four months
in the penitentiary, at bard labor,
for counterfeiting the trade
mark of a well advertised brand
of jh'IIs. The judge imposed the
sentence, not only as the proper
punishment oT Fink himself, but.
in order to deter others from the
commission of like frauds in the
future. We called the attention
of our readers several limes be
fore this to the common fraud of
imitating old, standard family
remedies and forcing worthless
articles on the public. There are
many imitations of the well
known Triner's American Elixir
of Hitler Wine, because it is an
article of great merit. It should
be used in maladies of the stom
ach, the liver and the intestines;
it will relieve both recent and old
constipation, headache, weakness,
nervousness, lack of appetite. At
