The Washington Republican Washington County Friday January 31, 1896 Linn. Rheumatism seems to be in order these days. Sherman COOLEY is laid up with something of the kind in his side, and last week Mr. CHESTNUT, south of town a few miles was complaining of a very lame arm. Mrs. JOHNSON is very sick. She has been ill for some time and at last accounts was declining. A.W. ELLIOTT had a runaway last week and Kelias looks the worse for it. He has a runaway once a year at least, but this is the first time to our knowledge he was very serverly hurt. His arm, shoulder, and side were bruised so badly that he was rendered almost helpless. He is improving some now but is still hardly able to move around much. We also heard of another runaway. Ellsworth OREN was the driver this this time. We understood he had a very narrow escape from being killed but we did not learn the particulars. Mrs. D.M. BOYER has been pretty sick the past week. She is improving now so we hear. Frank WILSON has moved into his new home. He will farm the old home place northeast of town.
