THUREDAY, JANUARY 8, 1822

t BOtJRBON | < lloui'bon News-Mirror.) Will Heiser brought a badger to (own yesterday that had been cap- • tured on the Dewey Overmyer farm. Half a dozen of the men of the Northwest neighborhood were engaged In the hunt for the animal, which was traced by their dogs. The badger was finally dug out of a 6-foot hole after following its burroY for 40 feet. The furry stranger welgHed 17 pounds. This is the first badger ever seen In . that neighborhood, and is rare in Indiana. In the early days of Wisconsin the badger was almost as common ns the gopher and the state derived • its nickname of the "Badger State” from that cause. , The badger is carnivorous and lives'on mice, rabbits and chickens. It is also the very devil as a scrapper and will make the average dog stick its tail between its legs and beat it for the barn. —Culver Citizen. While returning from Plymouth about six o’clock Monday evening, Bon Graham had one rear wheel of his Maxwell torn off. He was near file Dr. Owen Linn home, about 8 miles west of Bourbon, when a big machine, with the cut-out open, roar-j ed into hearing. As it approached Mr. Graham he moved over to his side of the road. The big machine skidded as it passed him, locked the light rear wheel, turned Mr. Graham’s car almost around and shoved it to the ditch, tearing off the left rear wheel. It was fortunate the car was not turned over. s The driver of-the car which struck him did not stop but soon disappeared toward town at the same speed, never heeding the damage he had done. Hubert Tyrrell had on display at the Lemler music stor£, last week a decidedly pretty piece of wood work in the shape of a floor lamp. It was made of black walnut, the material being secured from a walnut rail. There were many admirers of the piece and as it was all made, at home, even the shade, it was all the more praised. The finish was dull and the workmanship most excellent. It was a present that anyone could well feel delighted with. . While returning from Plymouth Sunday evening, Russel Spencer, “baker at Etna Green, but this his old home town, came near being killed by train No. 8, east bound -through Bourbon a few minutes before six p. m„ each day. He. approached the Center street crossing. ’The gate arms had been torn off the night previous, on the south side of the track. But the north gale arms were down. These he could not see, nor did he see the train until he was upon the track. Presence of mind did not desert him and he quickly turned the car to one side, just as the engine brushed the rear of it, and crashed the machine into the gate post. He was thrown through the wind shield, but m t badly injured. Surely his guardian angel was there that time. R. A.
