Times Gone By

A very serious accident Tuesday Will Ms. Merideth may cost him his foot. She was driving a horse attached to a buggy and when near the railroad crossing at the Lawrence farm animals became frightened at something and started running. Ms. seeing that she could not control the animal jumped from the buggy Merideth and in so doing, broke both bones of a limb just above the ankle. Bones forced their way through the bottom into the ground.This causes a high risk of infection and the bones are broken so close to the joint it will be difficult to hold them in place for a union, one of the bones are badly broken.

The injury is very similar to that of the writer suffered three years ago and he has not painful reminders, although it allows surgeons to go out with a very good member. Ms. Merideth has all our sympathy and wish it can come out as well that we have.

Mrs. Merideth was taken into the house Lawrence and Drs. Wescott, of this city, and Quinn, or Meriden, were called.They made a hasty and determined to retire to his brother, Louis Jules, "at home, who lives near the farm of Hull. She was placed on a bed and the removal done and the wounds were treated, as was possible.

CC Bradley came home Thursday from a month trip through the Rockies and the Pacific Northwest coast states. "Brad" was a good time all the time and returned with a healthy coat of tan and the loss of some of its weight. On the way back over the North Pacific, he ran into a real thriller, when the train was stuck and the passengers robbed, up near Valley City, NDHere, however, his luck did not fail and the thieves have never touched. He and some friends were playing whist in a Pullman car when the robbery took place. When the highway took a shot down the hallway of their car, just to emphasize the seriousness of their intent, Bradley and his friends thought the train had passed to a rocket signal, and in blissful ignorance that their traveling companions were relieved of valuables, they kept with the gameBefore the robbers reached their cab driver Pullman took a shot that wounded one of the thieves and they have abandoned their booty and took to the road in a car that was waiting. On the margins of as much, Brad escaped the $ 2.39 he had left when he came out of Yellowstone Park.

I need to set this one up for those of you who aren’t quite as old as Ken: Back in the old days, there was a quite talented quarterback who played for the Dallas Cowboys, by the name of Don Meredith. Toward the end of “Dandy Don’s”(a nickname he earned with his exuberant personality) career, he did some TV commercials for Lipton Tea. You need to know those basic facts for this story to have meaning.

Ken was in Dallas on business, and, at that time, one of our cousin’s sons was playing football at SMU. The football player’s younger brother was working at a local eatery that many current and former Dallas Cowboy players liked to frequent. So, Ken decided to take some clients to the place, hoping to impress them if some of the Cowboy’s were there. Turns out, he wasn’t disappointed.

When they got to the restaurant, there was a rather large man standing in front of the entrance, and he informed Ken they would not be able to enter at that time, because there was a private function going on inside. Not one to give up easily, Ken asked when the function would be over. The big fellow said he didn’t think it would be too, long.

A few minutes later, men began pouring out of the building—Ken recognized many of them as current Cowboy players, and said that judging by the size of most of them, they were all players. As they milled around in front of the building having conversations and saying goodbyes, one tall, good-looking guy—a bit older than most of the others—wound up standing right next to Ken.

Ken—being the shy sort he is—looked right at the guy and said, “Hey!” Then unable to remember the man’s name, continued, “Don’t tell me! Don’t tell me!” But, alas, the name would not come to my little brother’s mind, though a picture suddenly did; of the man sitting beside a swimming pool with a glass of tea in his hand. Ken finally—grinning ear-to-ear—blurted out, “LIPTON TEA!”

Dandy Don Meredith was quite amused.
