Bolcourt has been with her mother, Mrs. William P. Baker, since the death of her father last week, but expects to return to Wolcott to place the children in school until their plans for removal to the southwest are completed,, Mrs. Bolcourt has been in failing health for some time and a change of climate has been advised by her physicians and Mr. Boicourt has been gradually closing out his stock of merchandise at Wolcott. They are not yet decided in what state they will locate but probably in New Mexico or Arizona. Albert Swing, of Francesville, was in Rensselaer for a short time this morning, having come up from Lafayette where 'he visited his son, Charles, of Hanging Grove township, who is still in St. Elizabeth’s hosptal. He reports that the surgeons who reipoved Charles’ left eye found an inch of the whip cracker embedded back of the eye ball. The accident occurred about as reported in this paper except that Charles was not riding a horse but was using the whip to drive some horses into the bam, The horses were running about and Swing cracked the buggy Whip at one, the lash lapping about the animal’s neck and the end of the cracker snapping off and striking his eye with almost the force of a bullet. It passed through the render eyelash, through the lower part of the eyeball and was embedded back of the eye. He will be supplied with a glass eye later. It was thought possible when Mr. Swing left Lafayette that his son could leave the hospital Saturday, although there was some doubt about him getting out that soon.
