Hair's Breadth Escape.
Two officers of Lenawee County narrowly escaped death last week while
driving from Holloway tc Adrian. As
Prosecuting Attorney Hart and Under
Sheriff Harley Holt were crossing the
Wabash railroad on the Academy road
where there is a high embankment,
they saw a headlight in the direction
of Adrian and thought they had time
to cross. This train was on a siding
waiting for a train from the east which
they failed to see, but fortunately Mr.
Hart looked out beyond the curtains
and saw the train almost upon them.
He jumped out and rushed to the
horses' heads, in the meantime Mr.
Holt turned the hOrse3 into the ditch
just as the train thundered oy.

"A Mortgage Raiser."
The Milan -Leader editor received
the following letter from a lady in
Oakville: "I have just cremated the
oldest hen in Michigan, I think. Her
name is Chip and she knew it. Her
ago was eleven years, nine months and
eight days. Her yearly habit was to
lay two hundred and fifty-eight eggs,
stop for one week, lay fifteen more,
then go into retirement five weeks
(racing around anywhere) then commence her nest year's labor. She
never wanted to set and I never had
but two chickens from her. Now if
you can go a little farther and besides
the non-setting, perpetual-laying traits
give us the chickens, I would like
about forty such."
