Wiesenborn & Co., Ivy Landing, Ill. Peter Kipping had a narrow escape from a serious (if not, perhaps, a fatal) accident, Monday evening at the depot in this city. In attempting to get on the train he caught hold of the iron rod with his left hand and was swing around the wrong way and thrown down. Wm. Lang, who was fortunately standing by, caught him or he would have most surely gone down between the cars and we shudder to think what might have bee the result. He succeeded however in getting on the car, and by this time is doubtless at Buford, Mo., where he is to be married to-day to miss Julia Nose. Little "Tot" James had a narrow escape from a serious if not, perhaps, a fatal injury last Tuesday evening. He climbed up one of the tall trees at his mother's home to see into a bird's nest. All he remembers is that there were three birds and two eggs in the nest. He was at least 25 feet above the ground and he fell from that distance. The force of the fall took consciousness from him, but strange to say, no bones were broken and he was only slightly bruised. When falling he probably struck against branches of the tree and the force of the fall was broken. It was fortunate escape. Chester Clarion..
