Condition of Barney Comer Was Slightly Improved Yesterday.

The condition of Barney D. Comer, former township trustee and prominent farmer and business man of Union tp., who has been suffering for the past week or 10 days with blood poisoning, the result of having scratched his finger on a barbwire, has been very critical for the past few days, but Dr. English stated yesterday morning that he was somewhat better and that he had hopes of his recovery. For the past couple of days he has also been suffering from hiccoughs. Mr. Comer’s many friends in Rensselaer and .Jasper county sincerely hope that he will recover.
