Two young men by the name of j John Beudler and Fred Mickish, of Hazard township, while out near the B& M. milic td trio k with ritle in hand last Sunday, shot through I the w indow of a passanger coach and severely wounded a passanger in the arm. They were arrested and held for a preliminary hearing. It is thought to have been an accident but the facts have not been fully developed. W. E. Smith met with quite a .severe accident last Saturday morn ing which came near laying him off for a while. He was at work with Bob Voting on the Zimmerman house. They were setting a petition when Bob’s hammer missed the mark, and flying out of his hand came down on Smith’s head, in flicting a severe scalp wound and takiug the skin off his nose. Smith has a very sore head but is thank ful that it is no worse. Jacob Albers informs us that he received from K. J. Delaney of Brooklyn, N. Y. a draft for ten dol lars to be given to J. H. Parshall to help re-build the mill that was blown to pieces in the recent heavy wind storm. Mr. Delaney is a whole souled fellow and has, since he left here, in many ways, manifested his deep interest in the wellfare of Sher man county and her people. We extend thanks on behalf of Mr. Parshall and our citizens for this ffiost generous gift. Last Friday Morning during the heavy electric storm, lighting struck the W. T. Offen residence which wrs occupied by II. L. Bell and family, and done considerable dam age to the building. Mrs. Bell stood near the stove with a plate in her hand. It was broken into pieces and she was knocked down. Her daughter was also badly shaken up, but fortunately they were not serious ly injured. The lightening played all around the room, the chitniney was tore dowu and the siding badly ripped up. It seems good to see N. L. Talbot, one of our old republican wheel horses, again representing his, Clay township, at the convention last’Fri. day. Mr. Talbot has been out of the county,a resident of Boclus, for the past seven years, but having built a new house and moved back on his homestead in Clay township is again a citizen among us. During his absence the republican party has suffered defeat several times. If we succeed this tail the pops can blame Mr Talbot. He will no doubt help to mow a big swath as in days of yore.
