MRS.
CRANE HURT.
Broke
an Arm Last Friday in a Fall Down Stairs.
Grandma
Crane, who makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. F.A. Durfee, met with a
painful accident last Friday. She was going down the back stairs when she
slipped and fell with the result that she sustained broken arm and several cuts
about the head.
Medical
aid was summoned at once and the fracture of the arm reduced and her other
injuries attended to. She is recovering as rapidly as can be expected. Her many
friends will sympathize with her in her misfortune.
Mrs.
Biltgen Hurt.
Mrs.
J.P. Biltgen met with a painful accident last Monday which will confine her to
the house for some time. She undertook to leave the court house by the back door
which is located at the rear of the building under the main stairway. The place
is rather dark and she made a mistep and fell into the basement. She sustained a
fractured arm and several bruises besides a severe shaking up. The prospects are
that she will be confined to her home for some time.
F.M.
HICKMAN SELL OUT.
Entire
Stock Bought by H.S. Meyers last Friday.
A
business deal of considerable proportions, that was entirely unexpected, was
consummated last Friday afternoon, when F.M. Hickman sold his entire stock of
drugs, medicines, etc., and good will to H.S. Myers, who took immediate
possession. The negotiations were begun Thursday evening, and in twenty four
hours the deal was closed. Mr. Hickman had been engaged in business here about
seven years, and had enjoyed a profitable trade. He has not made any plans as to
the future, but will probably engage in business again soon. During the holiday
rush he will assist Mr. Meyers. This deal gives Mr. Meyers one of the largest
drug stocks in southwestern
Mr.
Meyers has by careful attention to business built up a large trade, which will
be nearly double as the result of the recent deal. He has an announcement in
this issue which you will find profitable to read.
