SMALL BOY INJURED.

INJURED PEOPLE ARE in COOKS
HOSPITAL-MR RS. SANFORD'S
CONDITION SERIOUS

What may yet prove to be one OF
history of the city took place this
morning shortly after eight o'clock.
! John j. Sanford, of Stafford mines, on
Pawpaw creek, with his mother and
a little boy named Layman, of Penn
! sylvania, was driving along the street
car line on the road between here and
New England. Car No. IS, Motorman
Homer Jamison and Conductor c. H.
Rex, were coming up the hill from
Watson, and Mr.. Sanford was going
down.
When he met the car the horse did
not seem frightened, but after it had
passed on, the animal started to run.
The men on No. 13 did not know the
accident had taken place and went
ahead. The horse ran down the hill,
and when opposite the residence of
James Crawford, Mr.. Sanford either
jumped or fell out. A little further
down the hill the woman and boy
were thrown out. The horse ran on
and soon left the buggy in splinters
against a telephone pole. The animal
DR.. Durrett, Mrs. Gerkin and sew
eral others saw the accident, and
were soon on the scene. The man
and woman could not get up but the
boy was up and running along the
road screaming before the people got
there. DR.. Durrett found Mrs. San
ford in rather bad shape. She is 63
years old and her pulse was scarcely
beating, but he Immediately gave her
something to revive her Mr.. San
ford had his leg broken.
Car No. 21, Conductor. George
Hartley and N1otorman George
Lantz, came along and informed DR..
Durrett, who had already called the
Cook Hospital ambulance, that he
would haul the people until he would
meet the ambulance. This was agreed |
upon, and the car was hurried a dis
tance of about 800 years to the end
of the accident, where the injured |
people We're put aboard. AT Seventh |
street the ambulance was met, and |
the unfortunate people were taken to
Cooks Hospital.
There it was found that Mr. San
ford's leg was broken in two places
between the knee and ankle, and he |
was otherwise bruised. TheIwoman
was terribly cut about the face. and, it |
is feared, injured internally. This
cannot be told for some time The

MAY TURN TO MCCLELLAN.
Iowa Delegation to ST. Louis May Turn
to the New York Mayor.

Des Moines, June 21.-It is believed
that the Iowa delegation to the
democratic national convention of July
6. will quit Hearst as soon as possible
and turn to Mcclellan. il he is re-
garded as a possibility.
The nomination of Hearst is now re-
garded as forlarn hope. That q nav
man, with him out of the way. will
be the natural thing to select, is ap-
parent, from the view of the Iowa dele
gates who are instructed for Hearst.
And in casting about 1t has become ap-
parent that Mcclellan is the man upon
whom the Iowans are prepared to UNI
ite.
Prior to the ante-convention cam
of Manchester, afterwards manager of
the northern Iowa bureau for NJ.
Hearst, addressed about 1000 letters ID
as many local democratic committee
men in the state, asking them to sound
the sentiment and to notify him as to
what the people were saying of DEM
ocratic nominee for the presidency.
He received about 1000 replies.
OF the replies about 400 were for
Hearst 100 for Mcclellan. perhaps so
for Parker and the remainder scatter
ing, while more than 100 answers de-
clared that II Cleveland were nomi-
mated the writer's would vote for
Roosevelt in preference.
On this basis the Iowa delegation
was instructed for Hearst. When he
drops out, as 1t seems more than prob
able that he will, the second choice OF
the democrats of Iowa would appear 20
be Mcclellan.
Just prior to the recent state con-
vention Hon. Cato Sells gave utterance
to the decidedly important and signih-
cant statement that he was for Nc
Clellan and not for Hearst as be-
tween the two, but as between Hearst
and the others, who We're then in the
field, he would stand for Hearst. On
this basis he came to Des Moines and
helped carry the convention for Hearst
instructions. 1t is now believed that
Mr.. Sells had greater foresight than
any of his compatriots among the
democrats at that time.

Despite the fact that all factions
