Young Woman Is
Thrown Heavily
10 Pavement.
LANDS.ON FACE.
Mrs. lindeberg Was Riding on
New Brunswick Avenue, When
Man on Wheel Approached
in the Opposite Direct
ion and They Hit.

While riding bicycle on New
Brunswick avenue last night Mrs.
Nels Lindeberg, Jr., who lives at the
home of her father-in-law, 46 New
Brunswick avenue, met with an acci-
dent which nearly resulted fatally.
About 6:15 o'clock Mrs. Lindeberg
started to ride up New Brunswick
avenue toward the Central railroad
tracks. Just beyond Division street
she saw Joseph Mergurio, of 2 Ogden
place, who was riding in the opposite
direction and coming directly toward
her. Both turned in the same direc-
tion and the collision resulted.
Mrs. Lindeberg was thrown heav-
lily to the pavement, landing on her
head. Her nose was broken and she
also received a slight concussion of
the brain. DR.. G. w. Tyrrell was
called and dressed the young woman's s
injuries.
The accident caused the greatest
excitement and a large crowd gath
cred about the scene and call was
sent for an officer to preserve order.
p. Guthoff, harnessmaker, of 56
New Brunswick avenue, who wit
messed the accident, said this morn
ing that Mergurio was not respon-
sible for it, and he said that Mrs.
Lindeberg was riding on the wrong
side of the road. Mergurio said that
he was riding close to the curb on
the right side of the road.
Mrs. Lindeberg did not regain con-
seriousness until $50 o'clock this
morning. She is now resting quietly
at the Lindeberg home on New Bruins
wick avenue. DR.. Tyrrell says she
will recover. Mrs. Lindeberg was
formerly Miss Ella Hulsizer.

Several weeks ago the members of
the Christian Alliance church here,
prayed for five hours that Peter Pc

might die because in the excess of re-
ligious zeal he had proclaimed that
he was ready to be received by the
Lord. Peterson still lives, but yes
terday his daughter died, as was told
in the NEWS yesterday. Following
the tenets of the Christian Alliance
followers, Peterson and his wife had
prayed over the sick child instead of
administering the medicines a physi-
clan had prescribed.
Last night when Peterson and his
wife, Anna, were called before a cor
oner's jury to tell why they had al
lowed the child to suffer without
medical aid, both requested that they
might pray for divine guidance be-
fore giving their testimony. Mrs. Pc

A meeting of property owners on
Second Street East was held at the

fths Monday evening. 1t was decid-
ed to grade the street from Main
street to the MCGEE corner. south of
town. Hon. G. w. Cooper was in
trusted with power to make arrange
ments with some one to load and
unload the gravel, and also to nego-
tiate with the Caldwell Inter Urban
Railway Co. for the proper regula-
ton of the GROWER. The Growler has
no fixed schedule, and at times it is
doubtful whether 1t has a fxed
course or not. Mr.. Cooper knows
how to regulate such things and We
are hopeful that he will Gather regu-
late or suppress the Growler. In ax-
PLANTATION We might say that the
Growler is that vehicle owned by the

| called the Tin Can by the rural popu-
lation. This grated on the ears OF
Mr.. Chris Fahy and he gave 1t the
more euphonious and expressive
name, by which it will henceforth be
known.
