A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
The Fatal Injury of Waller Ryttenber5
by a Runaway Horse.
Daily Item, Feb. l6.

Walter Ryttenberg. who was SO seri-
ously injured yesterday afternoon, has
never gained consciousness and only
his unusual strength and vitality has
kept him alive. He was taken to Dr..
Moods Infrmary shortly after the ac
cident and while an examination re-
vealed at once that his Injuries we're
so serious that they could but result
fatally, everything possible was done
to make him comfortable. He may
linger a few hours longer, but his life
hangs by thread and the end may
come at any moment.
The accident occurred on West Lib
erty street short distance west OF
the Catholic Church, and was witness
ed by several persons living in that
vicinity. Mr.. D. L. Rambo, one of
the unfortunate boys teachers, was
one of those who witnessed the acci-
dent and was the first to reach him.
Mr.. Rambo says that the horse was
running away and wasl entirey un-
manageable when his attention was
first attracted. Just at the point of
the accident the horse bolted sudden
" out of the street on the sidewalk
and Walter was thrown headlong
against an oak tree with terrific force.
His forehead was crushed by the ter
rible impact, and when assistance
reached him he was lying limp and
unconscious on the ground at the
foot of the tree and bleeding profusely
from the wounds in his head.
AS soon as a wagon could be pro-
cured he was removed to his mothers
home only short distance away and
was taken thence to DR.. Moods In
hrmary.
q Whatsfrightened the horse and caus-
ed it to runaway has not been learn
ed. but it is said that flock Of
chickens in the street caused it to
bolt Walter was riding without a
saddle, otherwise he would probably
not have been thrown as he was accus-
toned to riding and rode well.
The accident was an indescribable
shock to the entire community and
everyone sympathizes with his mother
and other members the family in
their sudden and terrible afflicti On.

A Change in The law.

I Dr.. Colyer delivered sermon at
the Church of Christ Sunday morn
ing on. ''For the priesthood being
changed, there is made of necessity a
change in the law. Heb. 7:l2. 1t
bas been said that the Church OF
Christ does not believe in the Old
Testament which is a mistake. The
Old Testament or law had its place,
"and was the schoolmaster to bring
Us to Christi The plan of salvation
cannot be found in the Old Testament,
"for it was only a shadow of things
to come" for it was not possible for
the blood of bulls and of goats to take
away sins. Heb. 10th Chapter The
dol covenant was made with Abraham,
aud was for Abraham and his seed,
and those bought with his money,
but the new law or covenant was
written on the minds, and in the
hearts. and is intended for every man.
"For if that first covenant ha been
faultless,. then: should have no ce
been sought for the second, !" i b.
9Th Chapter.
ssEs And for this cause he is the me-
diator of the New Testament, foE
where testament is there must OF
necessity be the death of the testator,
for testament is OF force after men
are dead Heb. 9th Chapter We
see that the law of pardon from sins
through the blood of Jesus was not
proclaimed until after the death OF
the Savior, and that by the law that
went from Jerusalem on the day OF
Pentecost. For out of Zion shall 60
forth the law, and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2: 2.
Hence We see that the thief on the
cross was saved under the old law,
different from the law by which we
are saved. - ''He taketh away the first
that he might establish the second. -
{ Heb. ]0:9. "Blotting out the hand
writing of ordinar "es that was against
Us, and took it out of the way, nail
ing it to his cross" (Col. 2: IA. It
was no wonder that there was 5000
souls added to the Lord on the day of
Pentecost, when the law of pardon
was proclaimed through Peter by the
Holy Ghost.
