The estate is valued at $174,- 529.60. While playing with a band saw in the mill at Fordwich, Eddie Strain had one of his thumbs nearly severed from his hand.

Stratford is being agitated more or less just now over a dog fight, A big bull dog pitched into a cocker spaniel on the market square one day and the bystanders were unable to get the brute pulled off. Rather than see the spaniel worried to death Sheriff Hassle drew a pistol and ordered some by- stander to shoot the hull dog which he did, hence the after rumpus. The Sheriff did just right and he ought to be commended for his hunhane net. Win.
