-The many friends of ex-sheriff L. W. KNAPP, of Houghton Lake, who has been almost totally deaf for the past year, will be pleased to learn that he has entirely recovered, and the cure was effected in a novel manner. Mr. KNAPP was engaged in plowing the other day, when the plow struck a stone, the jar giving him a terrible wrench. He felt something give way near the base of the brain. As soon as he recovered from the pain he started the plow and was overjoyed to find that he could hear the stones grating against the moldboard. He could not believe his good fortune and hastened to the house when the fact that he had recovered his hearing was demonstrated by hearing the voices of his wife and children, the first time in months. We have not seen our friend but are informed on reliable authority that he is the happiest man in the state today. Mrs. KNAPP says the cure is so simple that in the event of a return of the malady, at the very first symptoms she will take the case in her own hands and swipe him one on the back of the neck with the rolling pin. We do not vouch for the latter assertion but believe Lott would go and get the rolling pin for her in the event of such a disaster. We congratulate Mr. KNAPP and hope that his cure may be permanent. - Roscommon News. (7 Jun 1900)
