Altamont Enterprise October 26, 1923

EAST BERNE 

— Mr. A. D. Gallup was brushed by a passing automobile the other morning on his way to the store, and tipped over on the hard macadam. His right hand was bruised considerable, and his right knee twisted and strained. Dr. Cullen was summoned and reassembled the parts and at this writing he is much improved. He declares however that he will not pay for any damage that may have been sustained by the car that hit him, or any other car that may take a crack at him later, because everybody should know by this time that he is using that road every morning about that hour. 

— Georgie C. Northrup has a small brother.

VILLAGE NOTES 

Clinton Luckey of West Township was busy this week harvesting his wonderful crop of Green Mountain potatoes from the field just beyond his house. He must have over 100 barrels from a little over an acre, and the potatoes run quite large. A sample which Mr. Luckey brought to the Enterprise office weighed two pounds. 

 

Hunter gets big game at Schoharie 

While Dr. Kenneth McDonald of Albany was hunting rabbits last week along the Schoharie creek an animal which had been frightened by his dog crashed through the bushes and plunged into the water. The Doctor thinking that the animal was an unusually large and ferocious looking woodchuck took aim and and fired and on retrieving his game found that he had killed a fine otter. This is the first otter seen at Schoharie in many years.
