Last Monday, John HARNACK, living in the south part of town, desirous of fixing the platform over his well, raised the pump out of the well several inches and propped it up and while fixing the plank that fits around the pump rod. The prop was knocked out letting the pump down which fell on his little finger, grinding it into the plank and making a very painful wound and it is expected amputation will be necessary.

Henry POESCH has had the first harvest accident of the season, which occurred on Tuesday. He started in on his barley and all went well until some grain was caught by reel and carried around with it, which frightened the horses, causing them to start into a run. He succeeded in getting them almost stopped when a rein broke, making it impossible to control them. He jumped off the machine and let them go. They run into a wire fence, cutting one badly.

Mrs. Geo. W. PEARSON, of Hardin, visited with Mrs. TUTTLE last Monday.
