A terrible accident oectired on John
Horabergers farm near Oct avia Tuesday
afternoon. It seems that Mr. Hornber
ger was having some wood sawed and
that Slovic Vottova was doing the saw
ing John Hornberger, Levi Meek, Ike
Keller and Willy Jones were helping
him. The saw. it seemed, was cracked.
It was owned by Ben Keller and by it
striking some bard substance, possibly a
knot, it burst, resulting in striking
Slovic Vottava across the chest, nearly
severing the body in twain and sauftag
his life out instantly, also severing the
tendons, in the calf of Willy Jones' leg
and ripping the clothes of Dee Keller and
braising him up generally, hurting John
Hornberger and Levi Meek; but not
seriously. Levi Meek sustained a
severe blow on the ankle, laming him
for the present. Slovic Vottava had
only been married about two months
and now leaves his young wife to mourn
his tragic end. Sad indeed is death even
when it comes through sickness; but
how much more sad is it when it goes
out like a flash without any warning as
it did in this instance.

If flicks is a true prophet (and of
course he is) we are going to have a
hellofaspell of weather from now on.
February, he predicts, will be cram full
of weather. Hail and sleet and snow,
and snow and sleet and hail will follow
one another so closely that old Sol will
be a stranger when he first dhows him
self, along about the first of May.
March is to give us a brand of weather
that will curl your hair, and April will
make you dizzy. So hunt your hole
with the ground hog, and prepare foi
three months of weather.
