W. W. Stokes, who is employed with the Burlington bridge gang, got a hard fall last Friday. He was working on the bridge across the Nemaha 'river south of town when the rod with' which he was turning a jack screw slipped out and he was thrown to the frozen ground. He fell only six or eight feet but was badly shaken up and bruised and his left hand sprained. He felt sore for several days. V. W. Liebhart had bad luck With a recent sale of a barred Plymouth Rock cockrcll he made to an Oklahoma party. The bird was a good one but some one stole it en route and substituted a very inferior one. Mr. Lieb hart at first suspected that the Oklahoma purchaser was trying to get out of paying for the fowl, but affidavits were sent him showing the kind of a cockrell arrived there, and he was con vinced that the trouble was made by some one trrding cockrells on the road. He returned the monev he had received for the - w bird. The meetings at the Methodist church closed Sunday night. They lasted for four weeks, the first week' being conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. W.
