With hFriendS for
a Weapon
With Which to End
His Life
DID COLE
when He Found Feet
Crushed
As the Result of Fall From
II
Moving Freight Train at
Harper.

Matthias Cole, aged about AZ, while
endeavoring to board a moving Big
Four freight train at Harper at s 80
Sunday morning to come to Bellefon-
tame, fell beneath the cars. His left
foot and ankle were crushed and his
right foot crushed to the ankle. Soon
after the unfortunate occurrence he
was brought to this city In spring
wagon and taken to the hospital. on
north Main street. where DIR. c. Z.
Huston, of Rushsylvania, assisted by
Drs. w. W. Hamer and Edward r.
Henning, of Bellefontaine, and Doctor
Fisher, of Rushsylvania, made an
amputation of the right foot at the
ankle leaving the heel intact, and of the
left at point several inches above the
ankle. Cole came out of the shock of
the operation nicely and if pneumonia
does not result from the administered
anesthetic or blood poisoning as the re-
suit of his weakened condition at the
time of the operation, which condition
was due to the loss of blood. he will be
able to leave the hospital within five
or six weeks
The train under which Cole fell was
No. 60. Cole, with several others, was
standing at the Harper depot when the
train, which was moving slowly, came
along. One of the men mentioned
that it would be an easy matter to
board the same. Cole. who is quite
heavy. evidently thought the declars-
tion true, and swung onto a car at
about the middle OF the train. AS he
did so he lost his footing. Seeing his
lpredicament he attempted TO throw
himself back from the train onto the
platform, but his weight dragged him
beneath the car wheels. When Cole
realized that his feet had been crushed
he attempted to crawl beneath the train
and end his life. His companions
noticed this attempt and pulled him
from the track. Cole then begged
for q revolver with which to end his
sufferings and life.
Cole is SON of former Harper peo.
Iple. His mother is dead and his faith

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER I,

In the general election next Tues
dav it is the duty of every democrat
to 90 to the polls and cast his ballo,
for the democratic nominees for both
federal and state officers. In every
confessional district the republicans
have nominated a candidate for con-
gress. The purpose is to lay the
grounds for a contest and the lighter
the vote the stronger the foundation
they are laying.
In addition to that there are tour
amendments to the state constitution
to be voted on. 1t is important to
have full and free expression OF the
wishes of the people on these amend
. ments. We tried to explain them III
our last issue. You are to vote on
the question of the legislature meet
ing every two years instead OF an
nually. We believe it would be bet
ter to have annual sessions and limit
them to thirty days each but the peo-
pie have had this question discussed
sufficiently, we presume, to know what
thew want. If you vote to repeal
two subdivisions which say the legls-
lature shall not enact special laws
as to roads for the various counties
then you should vote for TIE amend
ment which says the Legislature may
enact special laws as to this subject
The other amendment refers solely
to the city of Greenville and if adopt
ed gives that city the right to IN
crease its bonded debt to IS per cent.
