Charles Hancock, Living North Of
Town, Has Accident Friday.
Charles Hancock, young truck far
mer living four miles north Of the city,
met with an accident in this city Fri
day afternoon, and is at st. Thomas
hospital Hancock was helping unload
threshing machine from flat car at
the freight house of the Chicago Great
Western The machine was being talk
en- from the car to the high platform,
when the car on which he was working
was struck by string of cars being
brought in by switch engine, after
the cars had accidentally broken loose
from the engine. Mr.. Hancock, at the
time of the accident, was in the act of
prying UP one end of the heavy ma
chinery with crowbar, the end Of
which was against his left shoulder.
The force of the collision threw him to
the floor of the car, and Jared the ma
chinery sufficiently to catch Hancock
under one end. He was badly squeezed
about the left shoulder, and bruised
about the body. but no bones were
broken, and so far there are no indi-
cations of any internal injuries having
been sustained Hancock was removed
to st. Thomas hospital and is resting
easily today. While his injuries are
painful it is not believed they will
prove serious.

the Home, without acquainting the
management with the true condition OF
the applicant, and this is only ascer-
tanned after the man has been brought
here. Unless he becomes too violent
the Home tries to care for him as pest
it can.
In discussing Soldiers Home affairs
another thought is suggested by a
member of the woman's dormitory, a
kind and intelligent woman who has
children only too willing to care for
her, but who prefers the institution
because her companion during many
years of married life lies buried on the
Home grounds. The complaint this
good woman has to offer is the man
ner in which the average outside Vlsi-
tor, in being shown about the instltu-
ton, assumes toward the members The
one unacquainted with the Home Oft
times holds the idea that the buildings
are filled with insane and imbeciles
and are objects Of pity to all specta-
tors. They are looked upon as such
in going thru the buildings and one
woman was recently heard to remark.
while in the dormitory, Some of them
look real bright" The dormitory MEM
Der would like the outside public to
understand that the members of wom-
ans hall are neither insane, imbeciles
nor miserable. They need the pity OF
no one nor are they looking for It,
They appreciate the home the state mas
provided for them, and consider 1t the
best that could possibly be afforded.
