    • Wm. Conley informs us that Dr. Simpson, the veterinary surgeon of Fonda, performed a difficult and successful operation on a mare owned by D. L. Power Tuesday. The mare had been in Mr. Conley's barn for some time, being treated for a bad cut resulting from a kick by another horse. She had evidently been eating cobs, one of which became lodged in her throat. When discovered by Mr. Conley she was in imminent danger of being choked to death. He sent for Dr. Simpson, who came up and by the yuse instruments pushed the cob down the mare's throat into her stomach, saving her life. Dr. Simpson is a veterinary surgeon who understands his business, and is very successful in difficult operations of this kind.

    • Dr. Simpson, who recently passed an examination required by law as veterinary surgeon, received his diploma last week. The law requires that every person offering his services as veterinary shall pass the required examination, and to practice without doing so is to lay one liable to a heavy fine. This does aweay with a large number of "hoss doctors," and protects the people from quack horse doctors.

    • Misses Pearl and Jessie Simpson, of West Superior, arrived her Tuesday to visit at the home of their uncle, Dr. Simpson. The visit was a suprise, and doubly so as the last time Dr. Simpson saw his nieces they were babies. They are daughters of his oldest brother whom he has not seen for eighteen years.

    • M.G. Simpson was badly injured by a fall Monday evening. The accident resulted in a compound fracture of the bone above his ankle, and it will probably be many weeks before he will have the use of his limb again. The unfortunate accident hqappened at his veterinary stable just east of his home. He had been up in the mow to hay the horses and in coming down the stairs he slipped and fell two or three steps, and when his foot struck the floor the bone snapped, and his foot turned sideways. Both bones were broken and the ligaments badly torn. The injury is very painful, but the Doc is now getting along nicely and will have to stay in the house long enough to give the bone and ligaments time to mend.

    • Dr. M. G. Simpson, veterinary surgeon, has been suffering severely the past two weeks from a cut on his left hand which has practically disabled the hand. The cut was to the bone and when it healed it did not heal clear to the depth of the cut and has consequently given Dr. Simpson lots of trouble.

    • The Iowa House at Fonda was destroyed by fire Sunday night. Claude Simpson, son of Dr. M. G. Simpson, of this place, was the proprietor. The guests and employes (sic) of the hotel escaped in their night clothes, a number of them going to the house of Dr. Simpson, who was home at the time. We did not learn how the fire originated.

    • Dr. M. G. Simpson, veterinarian, was called to Manson Sunday morning by a painful accident which befell his brother, R M. Simpson, who resides at that place. Mr. Simpson had the misfortune to be kicked by a colt with such force as to badly crush his left shoulder. As he is seventy-one years of age the injury is a very serious one and will require a good while to effect a cure. Mr. Simpson has visited his brother here a number of times and is well known to quite a number of Newell people. Mr. Simpson will have the sympathy of many Newell friends in this great misfortune.

    • Dr. Simpson has a copy of the New York Herald published April 15, 1865 the morning of President Lincoln's death. The paper was one purchased by the doctor's father and has been preserved since his death in 1878. It was an extra and came out at 8:10 a.m., just fifty minutes after the president's death. The news statements are practically all signed by the secretary of war. Mechanically the paper differs much from present day newspapers, being six 16m columns in width, hand set in nonpariel type and the advertising was all patent medicine.

    • Dr. Simpson this week brought in some samples of corn raised on the farm of John Lott near Lytton. A year ago Mr. Lott made a trip to Louisiana and brought back enough corn to plant an acre of ground. He planted the corn May 12th, and the stalks of some of them grew to a height of twenty feet and were six inches in circumference. One ear of corn is ten inches long and six inches in circumference. A sample of the corn is at the Times office.
