IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Rufus Chesser, an employee of the
S. P. Pond Co., narrowly escaped
death this morning shortly before 8
O'Clock by being pinned under the
heavy counterway of the elevator in
the poultry department Had men
not rescued him as quikcly as they
did not only would ne have been crush
ed to death, but he might have drown
ed in the meantime as his head was
partly submerged in water. He was
rendered almost unconscious and blood
ran profIsely from his eyes and mouth.
When an examination was later made
at the Graham hospital the attending
doctor stated that his chest was crush
ed and injuries had resulted In the
region of his heart and lungs. The
spinal column is only bruised and
there are no bones or ribs broken as
far as is known at the present time.
Applications of hot water and hot tow

Free Fall Celebration
This Week.

Week.
LIST OF ATTRACTIONS

The Parker Amusement aggrega-
ton rolled into Keokuk at noon today,
80 cars strong and with the largest
army of carnival people ever seen
here before with one company.
They are to set up on Main street
for weeks stay and week of jovial-
| ity is anticipated.
From the general appearance of
things the Parker company seems to
| have an edge on former carnivals
which have visited here. They carry
magnificent band of about thirty-two
pieces and the men are skilled must
clans which their selections prove.
Parker's jungle show, zoo, or more
properly speaking, the animal show,
consists of large number of trained
wild animals, including male and fe-
male lions, leopards, dancing and
acro5atic bears, bears that ride
bicycles and walk the tight rope,
laughing hyenas and large family OF
apes from monkeyland. The wild anil
NAL performances take place in
large steel Gagged arena which is
erected with every precaution against
possible escape.
Captain Cardona, the daring and
show performances in charge and him
self appears in the arena with Ro-
meo large Nubian lion, the captain
placing his head in the jaws of the
king of beasts. Captain Cardona is
we'll known in Quincy, having married
Mis- Gertrude Yucks of that city.
| Miss Essie Fay, also we'll known
animal performer, appears with a
magnificent group # man-eatin., Loop
ards; Princess Zoeta, recent Europ-
can favorite, enters the arena with a
group of lions who form pyramid
while she dances the dance of her ma
tive country. This act is a new crea-
/ ton and Is entitled The Lion and
| His Bride Mile. Fountaine per
forms with the bears in conjunction
with VIM. Scott and Major Hielbrun-
ner accepts the difficult task of enter
ing the cage of Nero, the untamable
/ lion.
Parker's Belle show will furnish
| fun for the multitudes and there is
a large chorus with the company who
will interpret some of the more recent
vocal hits The Parker Selle show is
always favorite among carnival Wis
/ itors and will no doubt prove its
strength as drawing card here.
| The Parker Annex is place where
freaks hold forth and more sub
stantial hit has never been made with
any side show than is credited to
Random, the armless and legless prod
1 ICY and Serpentina, the homeless girl.
Both of these freaks are in class by
themselves and will prove of interest
to all classes. The performances
Random accomplishes with his mouth,
such as rolling and lighting a Gig
arctic, threading needle, making
paper patterns, shaving himself and
playing musical instruments, must be
observed by the spectators before they
can fully realize the possibility of its
being true.
Parker's Superba is said to be
magnificent attraction, suited especial
ly to the lady patrons OF the carnival

Details of Accident.

Chesser works in the poultry de-
partment and has been an employee at
Ponds for several years past. Very
often the pit at the bottom Of the
elevator fills with water, feathers
and other waste of the lower fio>' and
1t was for the purpose Of pulling the
plug and allowing this to escape that
the elevator ascends number of very
heavy iron castings lined together as
one big weight, descends to the bot
tom of the pit, running down about
a foot and a half from the wall. As it
comes within two feet of the bottom
1t passed rock ledge, brushing it
rather closely. There was several
| feet of water and waste matter in the
pit at the time and in order that he
might protect himself from this, took
position on the rock ledge. In order
to reach the bottom of the pit to
loosen the plug it was necessary for
him to stoop over in crouched posi-
ton, very much resembling the posi-
ton of frog. He was unmindful of
the heavy weight which was descend
ing. as the elevator was going up, the
| dangerous factor escaped him. I'm
conscious of danger the heavy weight
struck him squarely across the snoul-
ders and pinned him beyond his own
resistance. His head dropped forward
from the rock ledge and his face was
submerged in the water, while his
limbs were doubled up in the small
space in the rear. In this position he
remained for about minute before
assistance could be given. His cries
for help were Immediately heard and
James Grogan, another employee, was
the first to reach the scene. Not want
ing to take any chances on erring in
pulling an elevator rope, he quickly
ascended to the second floor, which is
the floor on the street level. and
raised the heavy weight by starting
the elevator downward. Other men
working nearby caught Chesser before
he could fall forward into the depth Of
water and he was rescued while in a
semi-conscious condition Tender
hands placed him on temporary
table until doctor could arrive. He
was later removed to Graham hospital
in the Red Cross ambulance and a
closer examination into his condition
made. The doctor called to Ponds
could make no immediate statement
as to his injuries, for he was afraid
to undress him for fear of his catching
cold. Chesser is young married man
and lives on South Fifth, between
Exchange and Bank He has a son
about a year old.
