Peculiar Accident

Mr.. and Mrs. Hyson Holmes, of the
north part of Jackson township, were
badly cut with a scythe last Friday
afternoon. The two had been to the
home of Mrs. Holmes parents and were
on their way home when the accident
occurred. AT Mrs. Holmes parents
they had gotten scythe and were
bringing it home with them. 1t was
in the front of the buggy with the
handle hanging out at the side. When
in front of their own home, in turning
the buggy, in some manner the handle
of the scythe caught in the wheels and
turned the blade Of the scythe against
the legs of both Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes
cutting them in the legs to the bone.
They were both very weak but managed
to get out of the buggy and crawl into
the yard and to where some clothes had
been laid out on the grass to dry. With
these clothes they bound up their
wounds as well as possible Each of
them tried to get into the house to get
to the phone to call help but were too
weak and if some people had not passed
soon after the accident both would have
probably soon bled to death. DR.. Bulls
OF Allerton, was called and dressed the
wounds and Mr.. Holmes is getting
along fairly we'll but his wife is in
critical condition. 1t was a bad ac-
cident and only for the timely arrival of
help might have proved much more
serious than it was.-Corydon Times

Election Anyway.

Those in this county who have been
because of the absence of
election this year will 20 doubt be glad
to learn that we arc TO have an election
anyway. During their Saturday morn
ing session, the board of supervisors
unanimously voted to hold special cleo
ton on the regular day, the seventh of
November this year, to submit to the
voters of Decatur county the propo-
sition of a new court house. The vote
was taken after due consideration of the
whole matter, and in the best of faith
The action of the board provides fol
a $4,000 court house; three mill tax
was voted; and ten year bonds bearing
four per cent and payable after five
years, will be issued. This is the
arrangement, and will be the program
if the proposition carries.
There is no question about the nee6
of new court house. If a county ever
needed one this county does. The tax
payers of the county should consider
the matter carefully; and they will NJ
doubt do so. The proposition will BIZ
thoroughly discussed through the pa
pers of the county.-Lamoni Chronicle
