Before school had taken up the boys were enjoying a game of ball when Bob NIDIFFER let a bat slip from his hands in making a strike, and hit Frank AUDRAIN, aged 9, over the eye, making an ugly wound just over and one beneath his left eye. Fortunately the eye was not hurt. He was brought to town covered with blood, but Dr. ADAMS dressed his wounds and he was taken to his home. Several stitches were required to close up the gashes. A Fatal Kick Joe FREEMAN, aged 15, son of B.R. FREEMAN, living five miles east of town on what is known as the Ford farm, was kicked by a mule last Saturday evening at six o’clock and died from his injuries at seven o’clock Monday evening. Dr. ADAMS was called and did all that was within human aid to alleviate his sufferings but he never regained consciousness. His remains were laid to rest on the day following at Berry’s cemetery. The family is one of our best and the community sympathizes with them in this sad misfortune.
