SUPPOSED CORPSE REEVES
IN UNDERTAKING PARIOR

Montpelier, Nov. = Elias Woods,
formerly worker in the steel mill,
was picked up for dead at the Will
helm Smith home in this city today
and hauled to the Warfield undertake
Ing establishment in an ambulance.
Shortly before preparations for EN-.
balming the body were completed
faint signs of life were detected and a
physicians service instead of those
of an undeptaker were found to be
necessary.
The case Is one of the most unusual
in the history of Montpelier and much
excitement was caused by the discov-
cry that Woods was not dead after
the supposed corpse had been taken
to the undertaking establishment.
Last winter Woods while working
at the steel mill was badly burned
on the leg. The wound never healed
properly and running sore has been
bothering him since that time. Satur-
day Woods was employed at the
Smith home to cut some wood that it

Struck By Street Car But
MOtOrman AVertGd Accident

A disastrous accident was narrowly
averted at the corner of South Main
and Vine streets on Saturday evening
at about five o'clock when south
bound street car struck buggy in
which woman was riding. The
street car crowded and Motorman
Shellenbarger was running the car
exceptionally slow at the time of the
accident and this fact alone was all
that saved the woman in the buggy
from possibly serious injury. A hay
and grain delivery wagon was passing
the buggy and had crowded the latter
over on the east rail OF the street car
track in such manner that the front
end of the car struck the left back
wheel of the vehicle. BY quick pres
ence of mind of Motorman Shellen-
barger the car was brought to stop
before 1t had travelled more than a
yard after striking the buggy wheel.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1910-11-08

is supposed that a stick of wood
struck him on the leg bursting the
sore and perhaps severing a blood
vessel
Mrs. Smith was in the kitchen and
she was badly frightened when Woods
opened the door and fell into the room
with blood pouring in every direction.
In his walk to the house a trail of
blood had been left behind, On ac-
count of the great amount of blood
lost by Woods 1t was supposed that he
had bled to death and all who exam
ined the body declared that life was
extinct. The Warfield ambulance was
called and the body was removed to
the Warfleld undertaking establish
ment.
Woods still remains in a serious
condition and death may finally re-
suit He is very weak and the attend
ing physician expresses grave fears
for his recovery. The injured man re-
mains in the undertaking establish
ment being in too serious condition
to be moved.
