T. M. Patterson, the ca.-hier of the
Bark of Cr.ss County, h offering an
infected toe on the left foot, as, well
cs his leg is infected, which is prov
ing very painful a? well as annoying.
The infection grows out of a slight
abrasion of the skin on the left leg
while he was on the roc-tor trip to
Kansas some two weeks ago. While he
and his son, Dwigkt, were traveling
along in Kansas the car. which was
! uniting over a crowned roadway, slid
out of the roadway and Mr. Patter
son jumped from the car to as.-'st in
getting it back in the road, and in do
ing so struck his left leg o?i the side
of the car, but nothing was thought of
the matter, as the blow had merely
removed a smail portion of the tkin.
but rfter retaining home the injury
became quite painful and shortly ef-
te wards, in putting on a new pair of
s-hoes the toe of the left foot wa also
infected by the rubbing off of the
skin, and this has now made the at
tention cf a physician necessary, and
the genial cashier finds ha going
lather hard, as the foot and limb give
a good deal of annoypnee, but it is
hoped it will soon be improved so that
he can move about without suffering
from the injured m Ember.

SUPERINTENDENT
W. J. BROOKS MAY
GO TO HASTINGS
From WedneeJay'B I5aUr.
The situation In the long-standing
controversy over the superintendency
of schools at Hastings seems, to have
been reopened by the resignation of
Superintendent C. W. Barr from his
office, as a result of the failure to
carry out plans of the superintendent
to enlarge the school, and now the se
lection of a superintendent is facing
the citizens of that place. The name
of Superintendent Wr. G. Brooks of
this city is mentioned as the most
prominent for the office, as the friends
of Mr. Brooks have urged his name,
although he is not an active candidate
himself for the position, and as at the
previous selection, the opponents of
the late superintendent seem to have
fixed on Mr. Brooks as the leading
candidate for the position made vac
fnt by the resignation of Mr. Barr.
Mr. Brooks has been elected here for
another term, and it is not known
whether he would accept the position
at Hastings, although it is a much
more lucerative position from both
the position of advancement and
salary.
