Kd Dlxon of Norfolk , a Northwest
ern llreman , while carrying coal from
the coal tank at Oakdalo Sunday ,
slipped and fell about sixteen feel.
While the accident was not serious ,
Ed will have to lay off for about ten
days , as one hip was badly bruised
and his face and hack badly sprained.
Judge and Mrs. I. Powers , who have
been at Excelsior Springs , Mo. , In the
hope thai the mineral waters of that
place might bcnellt their health , will
return to Norfolk , as Judge Powers
does not seem to have been benefited
there. He has been severely 111 there
several times and believes he Is better
off In Norfolk.

the ground , badly l > rulslnp both of
them. Although neither \as injured
.seriously It is almost a miracle that
they were not.

candidates , including Judge Coyd , may
be changed from Friday , October 12 ,

ly before or Immediately after. The
Auditorium hero has a play on the
calendar for the 12th , and it Is the
desire of the committee to hold the
speech in the Auditorium.
