JACK DESMOND'S
PAINFUL ACCIDENT
While at work moving a boiler
on Flat creek last Wednesday, P.
W. Desmond met with a most pain
ful accident which necessitated a
hurried trip to this city and which
will lay the victim of the accident
up for some time.
Desmond was moving a boiler
and in the course of the work drop
ped a heavy grate on his leit thumb,
taking off the end of that member
and leaving the bare bone prot: tid
ing. Dr. Brooks sewed the torn
flesh together and dressed the
wound. He reports that his pa
tient will be unable to work for
some days.

J. C. Moody arrived last Wed
nesday from Seattle. He is the
son of former Senator Moody of
South Dakota, and has practiced
law in Seattle and in Southeastern

He tells, with some pride, of
the time when he was a newspaper
man, and a look at the records dis
closes the fact that he at one time
held filth place among the fastest
typesetters in the United States,
winning p.izes at a contest held in
Chicago.
He will locate here in the prac
tice of the law, for he likes the
country.

LONG DEFERRED j
• OPERATION
_ !
After a struggle of 14 years dur
ing which he combated the adversi j
ties of existence with a badly joint
ed finger, Albert Jones, a lumber
man, was compelled to have an op !
eration performed last Wednesday,
losing the third finger of his left
hand, just below the second joint.
Dr. Brooks performed the opera
tion and pronounced everything
-atiafactory. It was advised by
physician as the only way of avoid
ing an old tremble and this opinion
was shared by the patient. Jones
had injured his hand on a buzz
saw 14 years ago, the third finger
being cut in such a manner as to
be continuously subject to fresh in
jury, and in fact never became en
tirely well. The joint has now
beett everted off with the remnants
of other fingers that paid the toll of
honest endeavor, and Jorres will
soon be able to be about and at his
duties orree more.
SUMMIT ROADHOUSE
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Quick attention and the rapid as
sistance of the road building crew
saved the Summit roadhouse from
destruction by fire last Wednesday
night.
The place i? situated between
this city and the creeks and is one
of the recent structures of the coun
try. A fire from a smudge crept
to the edge of the tent and igaited
one wall, but before the flames bad
gained headway, the road crew de
scended upon the scene and tore
the side out in advance of the con
flagration. The total damage re
sulting was small.
William McMullen will not lose the
sight of his injured eye as was feared
by his friends, but is reported to be
doing nicely. He drove a large splint
er into the optic while chopping wood
two weeks ago, and ft looked very
serious for the young man. It is now
assured that lie will come out almost
as good as new.
