***JOHN R. JOHNSTON INJURED BY FALL***Mr. John R. JOHNSTON happened to the misfortune of falling in an open sewer trench near the Presbyterian Church Monday night and has since been confined to his bed.  Owing to his advanced age, and the fall being perhaps six feet, it was feared at first that he had sustained serious injuries, but upon examination, no bones were found to be broken, and unless unforeseen complications arise, it is thought he will soon recover from his intense soreness, which at present renders
him unable to turn in bed without pain.  Mr. JOHNSTON was walking in the street on the side of his residence is located.  It is said he either walked to near the trench or attempted to cross it, and perhaps being blinded by the glare of auto lights at the church, made a misstep.  Planks had been placed across the street on that side by the contractors in charge of putting in the sewers, in order to keep pedestrians from walking along the route taken by Mr. JOHNSTON, hence it is said they cannot be charged with negligence in trying to safeguard the public from danger.

P. McINTYRE in Ripley.  Miss GLIMP was cut about the face and head, but not seriously, the others unhurt.  R. M.
