The Washington Republican Washington County Friday January 1, 1897 Ed. REAGAN was the victim Tuesday of a football accident in a little practice the boys had to be able to meet the Marysville team today. He was mixed up in the pile with the other boys but at the bottom of the heap. He came out with a fractured shoulder blade and is now under the care of Dr. MORRIS, and his hand tied up to his chest. A few years ago he met with a football accident and hurt his leg. If he is real careful he will be in shape for another smash up in a month or two. H.M. REED, of the Hollenberg school, spent a few days in town the first of the week. Fred AYRES of David City, Neb., is visiting friends and relatives here during the holidays. Joe SMITH is spending a weeks vacation at home. He is working in a dental office at Marysville. Wissie SMITH, after several months visit with his brother George, departed Wednesday for his home in Purdy, Mo. O.V. PIERSON was home from Centralia to spend Christmas, and returned Monday. He has a good position in a broom factory.
