The peaceful tranquility of
Scott Watson's team of horses
was disturbed Monday afternoon
by q couple OF small boys who
had some small firecrackers.
Some i'll trick of fortune guided
the footsteps of these lads back
of the Christian church where
the said horses were tied. The
horses were behaving in a man
ner fully in keeping with their
station in life, when one of these
boys wondered if they would
show signs of life il a firecrscker
was tossed close to their heels.
His curiosity led him to expert.
ment, and the result was great.
The horses came alive very sud-
denly. More. than that, they
kicked up their heels. The small
boys laughed and experimental
some more. The horses became
justly indignant and gave vent
to their feelings by breaking
loose and running away. They
ran into Dan Chrisman's carriage
to which Mr.. Chrisman's prize
winning team was h:tched. Both
teams were badly frightened and
both carriages had wheels broken
but the horses ware caught with
out much trouble. Mr.. Watson
didn't get mad, and on the con.
irsry, he laughed, "Well," he
said, "I don't mind it if the boys
really had a good time. I've got
another wheel at home anyhow"

BADLY Hura LIN Wabash Wreck.
Miss Della Wilks and her Sis
ter Bestrice, were dangerously
injured in o wreck at Montgom.
cry, Mo-, on Wabash train No. l.,
about twelve O'Clock Thursday
night, June 80. Both young
women are in the Red Cross hos
pital at Moberly. Miss Della
was the most severely injured,
and it was thought that there
was little chance for her recov.
cry at first, but it has been re-
ported later that she is better.
Her injuries were internal, for
the most part, but her face and
body were badly bruised. One
of the arteries was cut in Miss
Beatrice's left wrist by broken
glass in the car window, and the
right wrist was broken. When
the wreck happened both of the
young women fell clear across the
car and through the window on
the side next to the ground.
When the rescuers came the girls
were found clinging Co each other
and unconscious. Although Miss
Beatrice was bruised most and
had some bones broken, it is be-
lieved her chance for recovery is
greater than that of her sister.
AS soon as the news of the acci-
dent came to Mrs. Wilks, mother
of the injured young women, che
notified her son, A. s. Wilks,
who was out in the country at
the time, and together with DR..
I. Knott, they hurried to Moberly.
1t is reported while there is still
great danger, the hopes for re-
oovery are bright.
Miss Della and Beatrice Wilks
were visiting q niece in st.
Louis, and had gone away Sat.
urdsy, June %. They were re.
tuning from this visit when the
accident happened. A. 8.
Wilks brother of the young
women went to MoberlY again
Tuesday. II win probably be .
number of days before Miss
Della and Beatrice will be able
TO return to Keytesville. They
have lived here nearly all their
lives, and are well known and
popular among the young people
of this vicinity.
Mr.. Henry Leusinger, son-in-
law of Mrs. Martha Wheeler of
Keytesville, who is q railroad
man, was also slightly injured in
the wreck. He says the, WI eek
was caused by the engine jump
ing off the track.
