He and Lowell Bowman and James Bowman went to the Kankakee Saturday and did a little fishing and gathered in a considerable number of the tribe.

Misses Ethel Womeldroff of Chenoa and Arline Drew of Decatur, nieces of Mr. and Mrs. Beeks, accompanied them home to spend the week-end. Uncle Jim Green came near “getting his” the other day when one of the toy engines on the apology bumped him off the track. In crossing the track he mistook the course of the engine thinking it was on the main track and thought he was entirely out of its way. But it happened to be on the siding and he was not quite clear of it. He was knocked down and badly bruised and considerable damage done to one arm, but he escaped serious injury by a mighty slim margin.
