Injury
May Prove Fatal
Fairmont,
Neb., July 27 (Special)
John
Howard, an old and respected
citizen of this place, met
with a painful if not fatal
accident yesterday.
While
picking cherries his ladder
broke and threw him to the
ground he fell on a stake
about three inches wide
and an inch thick, which
penetrated the rectum.
Mr.
Howard pulled the stake
out himself. He was
taken to the house and the
doctor sent for, he
had bled
badly, but the doctor thinks
there is a chance for his
recovery.

Barn
Burned Near Fairmont
Fairmont,
Neb., July 27 (Special)
Ed
Marsbary, a young farmer
living three miles southeast
of here, lost his fine barn
by fire last Sunday morning
about nine o'clock.
When
first discovered the blaze
was coming through the roof.
It must have caught
in the hay in the loft and
as there is not one about
the place that uses matches
it is a mystery how it caught.
The
loss is about five hundred
dollars, with two hundred
insurance in the Phoenix
of Hartfore. Mr. Marsbury
thinks some tramp must have
slept in the barn and lit
matches, as he can account
for it in no
other way.
