J. Thull, sr., met with a serious accident Saturday of last week at the home of Albert Hafer of Fremont. He had been their guest for a few days, and although requested to remain in the house Saturday morning, went out to the barn with a pail of water for his horse. When he reached the stable he slipped and fell under the animal. The horse became frightened and pranced around the stall, stepping upon Mr. Thull and cutting his face and head in a most frightful manner and rendering him unconscious. He was immediately carried to the house and Dr. Wells of our village speedily summoned, who received the patient and dressed the wounds, which required twenty-six stitches. Mr. Thull, being an old man, will be laid up for some time, although the wounds will not prove fatal.

Fisher of Fairfield, and, although not intimately known here, is highly spoken of in the vicinity of her home as a very esteemed and highly respected young lady. Mr. Helmuth, whose former home was at Park Ridge, where his parents now reside, but for the past two years has been a resident of our village, is one of our most progressive business men, having recently bought out Gustav Fiedler and conducts the only meat market in our village. We extend our congratulations to the happy couple and wish them a happy and prosperous journey through life.
