BADLY INJURED WHEN 

KNOCKED FROM ENGINE 

Maurice Gallup, son of Bert Gallup of Slingerlands, was badly injured about the head and body when he was knocked from a locomotive Thursday morning between Sidney and Afton. 

Gallup, who is a fireman on the D. & H., had helped to make some minor repairs to a wheel, and the accident occurred after starting. The injured man was not missed until the train reached Afton, when a searching party started to find him. Just below Sidney the party found Gallup lying in the river with only his head exposed. He was placed on a locomotive and taken to the Fox Memorial hospital in Oneonta, where an examination disclosed a fractured skull, badly lacerated face and body, compound fracture of the right leg, and other bruises. Friday morning he was still unconscious, but the doctors hold out hope for his recovery. 

DAIRYMEN HOLD SERIES 

OF SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS 

The Dairymen’s League of the Capital district has been holding a series of dairymen’s meetings to discuss the marketing and low price problems in the milk industry. This week three meetings were — at Indian Fields, Quaker Street, and Fonda. 

The interest manifest at the meetings indicates that the farmer is becoming more inclined to the co-operative plan than formerly. The meeting at Quaker Street Wednesday afternoon was a good one, and the dairy interests of that section were well represented. The meeting at Fonda, Wednesday evening, was made especially interesting by using the question box method. Many ideas were gained, and several questions that had been in the minds of dairymen as to the milk pooling costs were answered by the principal speaker, Thomas Millman.

DUANE 

When L. B. Moore visited his poultry house one morning recently he discovered that 30 of his choice fowls had migrated during the night. Diligent inquiry has thus far failed to find any one who saw or heard them take wing. The migratory instinct among Duanesburgh fowls has asserted itself with annoying frequency of late.
