BROKE HIS LEG IN BED.
Terry Critchfield Suffers From
Peculiar Accident

Terry Critchfield of Oskaloosa, ex-
state senator and father-in-law of Sen
ator Charles johnson, is dangerously i'll
at his home Sunday he fractured his
right leg above the knee by striking it
on the edge of the bed, and the limb
was amputated at the knee.
For the past twenty years Mr.. Critch-
field had trouble with his right leg, the
bones and blood vessels becoming dis
eased. Gradually the condition be-
came more serious, and several days
ago he was obliged to take to his bed
because of the condition of the member.
1t was while changing his position in
bed about 2 o'clock Sunday morning
that he struck his leg on the edge of
the bed, and although the force was but
slight it was sufficient to fracture the
bone in its diseased condition.
Immediately after the accident Drs.
Hogeboom and Mum of this city were
telegraphed for and arrived in Oska-
Ioosa yesterday morning. From the
time the accident occurred up to the
time of the arrival of the Topeka sur
geons Mr.. Critchfield suffered intense
pain. The limb was amputated i'm

MOSQUITOES KILL.
A California Man Dying From
Mosquito Bites.

Pomona, Cal, Sept. David Pearce,
a well known ranchman near San Ga
briel, is dying from poison from the
sting of mosquito last week. He was
cleaning an irrigating ditch at night
fall on his property and was frequently
stung by mosquitoes. He continued at
his work and went home.
A mosquito sting back of his left ear
irritated him more than all the others
Next day it became somewhat painful
and on the following day the pain in
creased. From that time the wound
grew rapidly worse and for the last two
days Mr.. Pearce has been unconscious.
His head has swollen and the back of
his neck is much enlarged. 1t is believed
the mosquito must have come from the
Lnalarial spots in the ditch.
