| A wagon owned by Mr.. Bates was
badly smashed on Main street this
morning. One of the clips that fasten
the shafts to the wagon broke pear the
First National bank building, and the
horse became frightened. The team
contained two boys, who were on their
way to school, and both we're thrown
out, but neither was hurt. The horse
ran until the wagon collided with the
democratic flag pole on the railroad
side of the street. The wagon was
badly smashed, put the horse was not
hurt.

station Monday evening and badly
bruised. Mr.. Arnold had been to the
station to meet his daughter, who
came in on the train, and was cross
ing the street to return home when
the accident happened. The noise of
the train pulling out was such that
he did not hear the approaching team,
and it was on him before he could
get out of the way. The horse,
owned by Mr.. Preble of Orcuttville,
was somewhat frightened and was
going at good rate of speed. Mr..
Arnold was struck with much force
and thrown some distance. He was
unconscious when picked up and was
taken into the passenger station.
Later he was taken to DR.. Q. B. New
toms Office and his injuries attended
to. His face was badly cut and
bruised and his nose injured. He was
badly shaken and there were numer-
Gus bruises on his body. No bones
we're broken. He was working as
usual yesterday, but most people in
his condition would take vacation.
