The Home Grocery received several lots of very fine well ripened potatoes last week through their ad in this papef, but they report that they are able to handle still more, and anyone having nice “spuds” would do well to see them. Word was received this morning from Frank E. Lewis, the Gifford railroad superintendent who was assaulted and robbed last Friday night at Kersey. He was not feeling at all well, it having developed that he had been injured in the neck and spine. He rested very well Sunday and no serious injury is expected to result from the blow or blows that he received. It is now stated that he lost more than 1200, of which |IOO was his own and the remainder belonged to B. J. Gifford and the express company. No trace whatever was discovered of the thieves.
