N.A. Crays, of Hiattville, was treated at the Newman-Young Clinic for a fractured right forearm. He suffered the injury 10 days ago while walking down the Katy railroad track from Hepler to Hiattville. A railroad motor car approached from the rear causing him to jump off the track. He believed the injury to be just a bruise until an X-ray revealed the break.

Five teachers from near Uniontown and one from Hepler, have attended school at Pittsburg this summer, driving to school and back. A few mornings ago, as they were on their way to school, they were surprised as they neared Girard where a full grown deer leaped over a pasture fence and ran across the road just ahead of their car and bounded over the fence on the other side of the road, galloped across a pasture and disappeared from sight. The teachers, who have been driving to Pittsburg together for the summer session of the college, are Mrs. Esther Mosier, Mrs. Rena Hartman, Mrs. Rosa Hartman, Mrs. Helen Reinecke and Mrs. Mary Tanner, of Uniontown, and Mrs. Ruth Bloomcamp, of Hepler.
