RUSSELL PITTS CUTS LIP WITH SHARP KNIFE
----------
Russell Pitts, a well known farmer of
Union township, was painfully injured Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, while
assisting in shredding fodder on the Carey Cotton farm.
Mr. Pitts was using a sharp knife in severing the bands when in some manner he
put too much force on the handle and the blade penetrated his lower lip, making
an ugly wound. The blade cut entirely thru the lip. Dr. Emerson
Barnum* dressed the injury.

----------
Omer Armstrong, who received a very severe sprain to his back from
a fall off of a step-ladder, while repairing a line in the power-house of the I. & C. Traction Co. at Rushville,
last Tuesday evening, is improving very nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krebs
are in receipt of a card from the unfortunate young man's mother stating that his spine was not injured, which
was at first thought to be fractured. She also stated in her card that he is not able to move off of his
back and the doctor says it will be several weeks before he will be able to work.
