Scary Escape
The family of Mr. M. C. Mundy had a narrow escape from suffocation last Sunday night. Mr. Mundy filled the coal stove upon retiring, but in some manner the top did not fit down tight. Monday morning Mrs. A J. Thomas went to the house and was let in by Mary Mundy when she discovered that the house was full of gas and at once gave the alarm. It was sometime before Mr. and Mrs. Mundy could be brought to consciousness and when they were very weak. Mr. M. and Mary live nearly recovered but Mrs. M. is still feeling very badly. It was indeed fortunate that it was discovered just as it was, for in a few minutes longer the whole family would have been lifeless. Too much care can not be taken to prevent the escape of gas.

There is a very dangerous place in Kirkwood road just below Chester Coreys house on the lower side of the road. Anyone can hardly see any distance ahead on account of the brush. A car going down through or a car or team coming up through as fast as a good many drive could not avoid a collision. A little brush cutting might save some ones life. The most of the car drivers do not even sound the klaxon at such corners. July 12, 1920

COHOCTON FARMER STILL MISSING.
Nov. 12
The unaccountable disappearance of James W Green the Cohocton farmer who was to have been married Tuesday Nov. 4, and account of which was given in the Courier last week, continues to excite much interest and discussion, not only in this and surrounding towns, but all over Western New York. The detective department of the Rochester police department have worked faithfully on the case for ten days and are still prosecuting the search, but as yet no tangible clue has been obtained which gives promise of ascertaining the missing man’s whereabouts. As always occurs in such cases, many theories have been advanced and numerous rumors have been afloat concerning the man and the reasons for his disappearance but all have been idle speculation based on the merest guesses. The most plausible theory that has been accepted by the detectives who have worked diligently on the case is that the man was suddenly attacked with aphasia or loss of memory.

FELL FROM WAGON; BROKE HIS NECK
Frank Manning Met Death While on his way home from this Village.
Frank Manning a farmer who lives on the John Sutton farm in Babcock Hollow, three miles southeast of this village, was found death in the highway near his home about 7:30 o’clock last Friday evening. Coroner Smith, in company with Dr. Wynkoop repaired to the scene and after an examination of Manning’s body, stated that he came to his death by sustaining a broken neck. He had been in this village with a load of produce in the afternoon, and was on his way home when he met his death. His team reached home about 7:15 o’clock and Manning was not in the wagon. His wife started to investigate and almost at the same time Manning’s body was discovered by Lewis Draper a neighbor. Manning was cut about the face, and the theory is that his horses started suddenly, causing the wagon to lurch, throwing him to the ground; and that in falling he struck his face upon the tire of the wagon wheel. Mr. Manning was about 38 years of age, and is survived by his wife(Ella), a son and his mother. (nee Marietta Vosburg )
