VILLAGE NOTES. 

— Noah Lodge No. 754, F & A. M., requests the return of all dishes taken from their kitchen from time to time by persons who have had access to them on special occasions. Kindly keep this in mind, and if anyone is guilty bring the dishes back to the Masonic hall at once. 

— Harry Fredendall, undertaker, has just completed an auto hearse. The chassis is a Reo, and outside of that and the carvings, Mr. Fredendall has done the work by hand. It is a beauty and shows the work of a high class wood worker and designer. 

— Alfred Young, our village shoemaker, has recently purchased a new shoe finishing and polishing machine. As soon as the electric line is attached, he will have it in working order in his shop on Maple avenue. Mr. Young has been working at the shoemaker’s trade for nearly 49 years and he believes it about time that he breaks away from the old time methods of doing business and gets something up-to-date to help him in his work.

KNOX.

Accident Had Fortunate Outcome. 

An accident which might have resulted more seriously than it did, occurred recently at C. J. Hurst & Sons’ mill, while Herman Vincent and Raymond Hurst were unloading a carload of coal. The pockets at the bottom of the car had been opened but the coal was frozen and did not readily drop through the hole. Mr. Vincent climbed upon the car with a crowbar to start the coal moving, when the frozen mass gave way suddenly, hurling him, head first, through the opening at the bottom of the car. Before the coal stopped moving Mr. Vincent was buried in it, with only a few inches of one foot showing. He remained in this position for nearly half an hour before he could be extricated by Mr. Hurst, with the aid of his father, C. J. Hurst. Had help not been at hand nothing would have saved him from death by suffocation, as he was nearly exhausted when removed from the coal. 

Dr. Frank H. Hurst was summoned, and Mr. Vincent was removed to his home. At first it was feared that pneumonia would develop, but at present he is resting comfortably. Fortunately no bones were broken.
