Items of Interest From The Remington Press.

Miss Orpha Timmons returned home Thursday to spend a two months vacation, after teaching during the winter at Seattle, Wash. Some fellow, either with a few drinks in him or the result of a dare, drove his (or her) automobile down the sidewalk from Peck's corner south, sometime Sunday night. The brickwork up to the top of the basement of the new Presbyterian church has been completed. Work on the side walls will begin as soon as the framework can be constructed. Wouldn’t it be an improvement in the looks if the Pennsylvania Bailroad would remove that old unsightly outhouse in { the middle of ourstreet and put some modern toilet rooms in the depot, where they -belong. This is only a suggestion to the town board that they take the matter up, and see if it can’t be done. Dr. J. M r . Bond, dentist, of Goodland, had a rough experience on his way over Saturday night. Doc. drives a big touring car and with him were his wife and two children and his father-in-law, the venerable Dr. Clymer. When about four miles from Remington they overtook a couple of fellows who had been hauling poles for the Electric company, named Lowe and Sheeter. They were driving a wagon, behind which was hitched another wagon, but without horses. Doc. tooted for room to pass and- at first they did not respond. Later, however, they gave a portion of the road, and as the ear started to go by a long reach which extended backward from the wagon, angled across in front of the car as the wagon turned. This crowded Dr. Bond into the ditch to such an extent that he came very near upsetting. In his effort to get out onfe of the fenders of (the car struck slightly one of the mein’s horses. This enraged them and with the words “Get him,” they piled off and gathered rocks, which -they hurled at Dr. Bond. One big rock missed him but broke the glass wind shield of the car, then rebounded on the Steering wheel and struck Dr. Clymer a very severe blow on his leg. One of -the men also—had a club and they were for making it pretty Interesting for the doctor. He drove to the nearest farm house and telephoned for the Remington marshal, who went out and brought the men In. They readily promised to settle in a reasonable manner and woul£ haye done so probably, had noit some of Remington’s intelligent citizens advised them not to do so as they were not under regular arrest as yet, and also adVlsetj them to take a hike. This they did, heading for Kentland.
