from their-home in Eranldkrt to spend

considered an entirely thankless day
for them, if one did not Consider how
much worse "it might have been."
Mr. Davis is a fine looking young
man of about 27 years, and, although
he had been employed in railroading
for some time, this was but Ms second
ferp on the T. & A. A. The accident
happened at about 4 o'clock Tuesday,
as the local was coming down the Lake
' George hill. Just in front of the caboose were two long coal cars known
as gondolas. Davis started forward to
set brakes on the train while it was
going down grade, and as he stepped
from one gondola-to the other,, the end
board tipped a little and he slipped,
falling between the cars, but fortunately outside the rails, and the train
passed on. He did not know he was
seriously hurt, though somewhat
shook up and in pain, until he tried to
stand, when he found that his left foot
was dangling. He reached to the rail
r:sd pulled himself up the bank, and
though suffering intensely lie' took off
his coat and vest and bound the latter
about his hurt."
After the train had gone about two
irdles he was missed and the train run
hack Is search of Mm. ,He was placed
m the caboose and brought to Glare,
but the conductor of the train left. Mm
in the upper end of the yard, where it
was difficult to get to him with
stretcher and dray, although urged to
run the car down to" the depot, where
the injured man could be handled
with least pain. '*
Doctors Todd and Sanford were
called, who dressed the leg, amputation four inches below the knee being
found necessary.
"While talking with the Seepeesel,
Mir. and ' Mrs. Davis expressed the

of brother Foresters and of railroad
isen from both roads. It will be several weeks before Davis can be taken
to his home in Frankfort. -

eluding them successfully. When last
heard he' was making Ms11 way southeast accross the lowland near the railroad.
HARRISON BANK TKR33ATJ3NJEB,
TlieHTailnreof tlie Tecumseh. bank of O. IP.
33ms, leads to the closing of tiie Ithaca
•   Sank—It 'was JFeared at  first that   the
]L. Savier & Go's bank at Harrison, was'
involved—Excitement among local Business Men.
It was rumored on the street Tuesday evening that the failure of the
Tecumseh bank had involved the private banks at Alma, Ithaca and -St'.,
Louis, and through their failure the
bank of L. Saviers & Co., at Harrison
would go to the wall. An account of
the causes that led to the failure of
the Tecumseh bank will be found on
the inside of this paper under the
heading, "A Big Bank Broken."' Mr.
Bills of the Tecumseh bank is now, or
has been, interested in several banks
in the central part of the state. It
was reported that, the St. Louis bank,
with wMch L. Saviers & Co. are connected, had closed its doors and that
the Harrison bank of L. Saviers & Co.
would have to do the same in consequence. Of course some wild stories
were told on the streets, but enough
of it was believed to cause some alarm,
here among those who had deposits in
the Harrison bank, or were interested
financiallydn some one else who had.
It was learned later that neither the
St. Louis nor the Harrison bank was
involved. L.-Saviers arrived at Harrison Wednesday evening with sufficient'funds to meet any demands on
the bank by depositors. So far as we
can learn everything is again serene at
the county capital.
A DOUBLE SURPRISE.' *
Ho man ever feels that he has the.
lightest end of life's burdens to carry,
but he isn't much of a specimen of humanity if he does not enjoy when
another fellow comes to a little pleasant sailing, for, as the philosopher
says, "A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind."
It was such a fraternal spirit that
led the Rebekahslast Monday night to
execute a well laid surprise on L. 32.
Mcintosh, formerly with E. IC M?ig-
sell of this city but now with Dr.
Lyntonof Coleman, it being the occasion of his birthday. Mr. Mcintosh
was a guest at the home .of John Allen
of West Wise, Monday evening having
been arranged for the marriage of
Miss Suth Allen to Mr. Mcintosh, but
the Eebekahs were not apprised of this
latter fact. ,-       ■
Members of the lodge, to the number of about 50, under the direction of
Mrs. Burch, assembled at the home of
Mr. Allen and surprised Mr. Mcintosh
completely, but when, in the midst of
the evening's enjoyment, Mr. Allen
announced that the "next thing would
be a tableau" and Mr. Mcintosh and
Miss Allen stepped forward and were
confronted by the officiating clergyman,, Eev. A. A. Darling, the surprise
was returned with interest.
After congratulations, and . the
guests had partaken of a tempting repast, numerous valued presents were
given by friends, not the least noteworthy being ah easy chair from the
order of Eebekahs, but how one chair
can do service for two persons our
scribe has not been informed.
The happy couple have taken up
their home in Coleman, where the
well wishes of their numerous friends
here follow them. The Sentinel extends congratulations, the first we
have so far had the occasion to offer.

Mrs. Lyclia Heath died at Aurelius,
Mich., November20, 1892, at the.advanced age of 80 years and 16 days.
Many of our citizens will remember
her as the venerable hut pleasant
faced lady who visited here a year ago
last summer and at other times at the
home of her daughters, Mrs. A. W. Mclntyre and Mrs. M. O. Austin.
Mrs.. Heath was horn in Whites-
town, 2ST. Y., in the year 1812, made
famous as the time when the second
war with England begun, and in 1833
was married to Lyndon Heath. Four
years later the young married couple
came to Jackson county, Mich. " The
state was just changing from territorial government to state, and they experienced all the viscissitudes of the
early settlers. In 1841 they moved to
Aurelius with their family, where she
has since lived, her husband dying a
few years ago.
She was the mother of,four children,
of whqni three survive. Besides the
two daughters mentioned above she
left a daughter, Mrs, J. "W. ITreeman,"
of Aurelius, at whose home she died of
consumption. The funeral was held
from the Baptist church in Aurelius,
Hovenjibex 2^, Kev.* J, D. 3?ry officiating. Jper daughters from this city
were present.

: The poet Longfellow, in vivid colors
that will never fade, painted a -halo
dhout the brow of "The Tillage Blacksmith" that has been the delight of a-
rjaultitude of readers. But last Tuesday, a simple, every-day, ornary mule
put a halo^-a regular autumnal sunset
and aurora borealis combined—around
ihe head of blacksmith Louch, which
sJilLclings to his shoulder, arm and
head in patches of black and blue and
green. For a moment he thought the
long expected comet * had struck the
ijrorld.
;' Ed. Lyons, from near the Eandall
School house, brought down his span
of mules to have. shoes set," Tuesday,
and they were standing in Al. Louch's
shop, waiting their turn, when some
tjtne picked up a foot of one of the
its
hint
'and raised both his hind feet and let
iihem°Sy in the direction of Mr. Louch
who, was passing behind, but happily
{'failed to land," as our sporting editor
^rouldsay. But as the* blacksmith
stepped back the animal followed him
In what a sailor might call "a stern
chase," filling the air with heels, one
.()t which struck Mr. Louch on the
shoulder, grazing his head. Had he
hot been stepping away the effect
would have been fatal. As it was, he
jiras unable to resume work "for some
ilime, and even now use's his left a'rhi
lyith difficulty.   It was truly a close
all.
