Forest Lake - The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Quinlivan were sorry to learn of the sad accident that happened to their daughter, Irene, while coming from school last Friday night. Near P. S. Kane's she was thrown from the kid wagon, falling between the wheels, the first wheel passing over her leg, breaking both bones just above the ankle, besides bruising her badly. She was carried to her home, nearly two miles away, and the bones [were] set by Dr. Gardner. She is doing as well as can be expected. She is of a family of seven children, who were conveyed from the Warner to the Kane school by Michael Sullivan. There were eleven in the wagon at the time.

Harford - If those owning dogs do not want them killed they must keep them away from their neighbor's chickens. B. D. Sherwood had 16 hens killed last week, some of which he paid $2 apiece for. Walter Maynard had one hen killed, and there was one dog that will not trouble any one else.

Uniondale - L. P. Norton came home Saturday night from down the valley, to stay over Sunday with his better half; but he won't own up that she is better than he is.

Springville - Dr. Diller, of this place, and Dr. Birchard, of Montrose, performed an operation on a young boy of Arthur Comstock's to save him from having lock jaw, caused from a kick on the knee by a horse. The boy for some reason had not mentioned the hurt and had been going to school, until the knee had caused him so much pain that he then told his parents. Last reports say he is doing well.

Hallstead - Thomas Gathany, who resides a short distance from Hallstead, while hauling a load of stone, met with a severe and painful accident to himself and also the loss of one of his fine horses. He had reached a point in the road where it was necessary for him to cross a small bridge, and just as he got into the middle of the bridge it went down with the heavy load. The horses became entangled in the lines, but one succeeded in breaking loose and swam to safety. The other was so entangled that he drowned before he could be rescued. Mr. Gathany also had a narrow escape from drowning but managed to get out and swim to shore. The timbers became loosened by the high water and were unable to stand the strain.

Ararat - We are glad to see that our new supervisor, Eli Avery, is interested enough to see that the roads are kept passable. It is something fine for us to see our supervisor out using plows to clear the roads, but you can bet we are glad; good luck to the old gray headed man.

Elkdale - J. G. Wescott has purchased a small farm near Elkdale from the Lowry estate and will, within a month, move his family to that place. He will probably go into the chicken business.

News Briefs - Local people who attend the moving picture shows will be interested in knowing that Thomas A. Edison has just been awarded, by the federal court of New York, royalties from moving picture films amounting to $72,000 a week. Film manufacturers have been infringing on Edison's patents and refused to pay the royalties. Edison gets half a cent per foot for every film manufactured. As there are 20 manufacturers and each film is 900 feet in length, making 18,000 feet, and 80 of each are issued, making 1,440,000 feet, his royalty can be easily figured out at the sum above mentioned. Edison is the inventor of the extremely sensitive films that allow the taking of about 60 pictures per second, which alone makes it possible to produce motion pictures.
