He pluckily held on to the horses, which did not run far, and even after assistance arrived, although suffering great pain, he drove the fractious team into the barn. Dr. Gardner was summoned and it was found that one or more ribs had been disjointed from the spinal column.

Clifford - Arthur Williams, D. H. Coleman and M. D. Daniels were in Forest City, Saturday, listening to testimony in regard to some roads in Clifford township. M. D. says, judging from the testimony of some of the witnesses, the hills stand perpendicular and some lean over. If you must go down, invest your money in guy ropes and lock chains at the top of the hill, and if you're dry, drink water at the bottom, and don't eat onions, for if you are found dead at the bottom they will say you was drunk at the top and that you ate the onions to cover the scent of the McHenry, so your mourning widow cannot recover from the township money enough to get another man heroic enough to break his neck going down those pesky hills.

Springville - Considerable excitement was caused on Saturday by the finding of Edward Button, a well known farmer, lying at the point of death at the foot of the stairs in his home.

A bloody axe handle next to the body was explained as being dropped at the side of the wounded man when the body was discovered and the blood stains were caused in this way. His wife and children did not live with him and the parties with whom he had resided [presumably the cousin] had moved to another farm the day of the accident.
