' Ira Tenner was fatally injured while cutting timber on the farm of Levi Haiwkins, nine miles northwest of Otterbein. He had felled a large tree and as the monarch toppled over it dislodged a heavy limb from an adjoining tree, <the latter piece striking iMr. Yenna on top of the head, knocking him unconscious.The injured man was alone and he lay there for a short time unassisted until he regained his senses. He did not realize the extent of his hurtand in a few minutes walked to his home $ half mile away. He informed his wife of the accident but was inclined to take the injury as a trivial one. However, his condition soon ‘became serious and he lapsed into unconsciousness. Dr. Ward A, Smith, of Otterbein, was hurriedly summoned, but Mr. Yenna was past all medical aid, the unfortunate man passing away in a few minutes. - ■

Another Cold Wave Headed For Indiana.

Washington, Dec. 28.—A flare back from the cold wave which passed today broke Over western Canadian provinces tonight and was sweeping its way southward through Illinois, the great lakes states and Ohio valley to the Atlantic coast.

Forecasters at the weather bureau said the latest disturbance was attended, by increased cloudiness affecting the middle Western states from the northern border to the south Atlantic and gulf states and was causing material reductions to the temperatures throughout those sections. Preceding the arrival of the cold wave, it wtas predicted that tern-' peratures would rise tomorrow throughout the Atlantic states.

Quail Will Starve Unless Given Food Soon.

"Unless something is done and done quickly to relieve the starving quail of the country every covey will perish within the next few days,” declares a well known hunter. For the last two weeks the ground has been covered with snow and the weather ha? been so cold that the quail have been unable to feed’ or find warm shelter. The farmers have simply got to get out and feed these birds. The sleet has formed a hard crust on the snow that will make it impossible for these game 'birds to get down to what little feed they might otherwise find. What’s the use of a law that protects the bird from the ruthless invasion of the unscrupulous hunter, if ths’people of the country are going to let the* birds starve and freeze. The birds are huddling in large coveys and coming up to the barn lots in quest of food and only a little trouble on the part of the farmer will save the toothless quail for another season. ■Direct wireless communication across the oceans is likely to be accomplished soon.
