PROBABLY FATAL.
John Thompson, OF Lamonte,
Knocked over and is Expect
ed to Die.

Sunday afternoon. as usual there
had collected q crowd of loafers mostly
boys, along the east side of Penqults
& Snoddy's drug store. Says the
Lamont Record. Among the number
was q boy by the name of John
Thompson, who hiss been working
around as farm hand during harvest.
He was seated on the horse rack, when
Ernst Alsbaugh AMI Willie Parsons
tried to act smart and knocked him
of backwards, he falling on his neck
and shoulders. The rack is about
four feet high and the fall was a hard
one, the boy laying there in stunned
condition until he was carried over to
the Files house and DR.. Walker was
CALLED to see him and pronounced him
in q precarious condition, finding that
the fall had injured the spinal column.
He is getting no better and the doctors
are of the opinion that he will in all
probability die. He is at the house Of
Chas. McPheeters who is caring fol
him, the expense Of which is being de
frayed by the citizens. The boys claim
that it was accidental. but men who
we're eye witnesses to the affair sa,
that it was done in no accidental man

JUDGE CRIsP's VISIT.
The Distinguished Georgian al
Lone Jack Yesterday.

According to announcement in the
BAzoo, Congressman Crisp will speak
at Woods opera house August 25.
Yesterday he delivered an address at
Lone Jack, on the occasion of the
anniversary Of the bloody battle there
in 1862
In anticipation of his visit to Soda
liza, the following editorial from the
Kansas City Times will be interest
ing:
Judge Crisp of Georgia is the guest
of Kansas City and western Missouri
for the next week. He is one of the
ablest- democratic leaders and an
American of such btoad and liberal
views that his opponents in politics
are all his friends and admirers.
Kansas City learned to regard him
with marked favor when he was here
] last spring. The pleasure of giving
| him a cordial welcome is heightened
by desire to correct any impression
| made by an unworthy and unpopular
attack upon bis speakership candidacy
made by st. Louis paper. Western
Missouri will show him that it has not
the least part in that
uncalled for and unfair op'
position. The democrats of this state
have not taken sides in the contest
and deprecate any premature exhi-
bition Of psrtisanship. Judge Crisp
will find that as statesman and q
democrat be is as highly regarded as
any other man in the country.
Wherever he appears during his stay
in Missouri he will encounter hosts oil
friends and not an enemy. We re
ceive him as citizen whose character
is matter Of pride TO men Of all par
ties, and whose attainments and tai
ents are appreciated as they deserve
In Mr.. Tarsneyis, Mr.. Dockery's ant
Mr.. Wilson's districts and wherever
else he may be entertained be will b.
taught that Missouri hospitality goe
out generously to public men VIII
have lived up to as true standard, a
he has.
