Adrian

From the Democrat:

 

Peter Weist suffered a severe injury to his left leg last Friday at Valentine Lenz's place, southwest of town. He was struck by a heavy chain connecting the engine and separator of a threshing outfit, and thrown for eight or ten feet.

 

Ferdinand Seitz, father of Mr. John Seitz and Mrs. Ferdinand Lenz, of Adrian , died Tuesday, Oct. 9th, after an illness of about six months at Somers , Wis. , aged 76 years and one day.

 

The Worthington Globe has changed hands once more. J.L. Berkheimer, senior editor of the Wilmont Tribune, is the new proprietor. If he can make a success of the Globe, he is the greatest financial genius that has ever emerged from the tall grass on this reservation.

 

James P. Cox, who was hurt in the wreck resulting from a traction engine breaking through a bridge near Ellsworth two weeks ago, is now rapidly recovering from his injuries, but the best medical and surgical skill could not save the leg that was so badly scalded in the accident. Up to last Thursday morning the surgeons had some hopes of saving the injured leg, but that evening they decided that amputation was necessary to prevent blood poisoning, and the leg was taken off about six inches above the knee. The patient withstood the operation remarkably well and will soon be able to leave the hospital.
