j. Pruitt Killed In Cave

Joseph Pruitt, 80 years old.
who was born in Council Bluffs
and was we'll known about
town, received injuries in az
accident on the farm of C. D.
Campbell, five miles north of
the city on the lime kiln road,
Wednesday afternoon which
resulted in his death at the
Jennie Edmundson Memorial
hospital at II o'clock yesterday
morning. His employer also
received painful injuries and
was also taken to the hospital.
Mr.. Campbell was construct
ing a cave at the farm and had
engaged Pruitt to assist in the
work. The cave was built on
nearly level ground and had
been walled up with brick laid
in cement with an arched roof
of the same material. The
arch had been completed and
Pruitt and Campbell had gone
inside to remove the moulds.
Part of the supports that sus-
tanned them had been taken
away, and both men were
standing at about the center of
the cave when Pruitt knocked
out another of the supports.
The entire roof and part of the
walls fell upon them and both
were buried in the debris.
Help was at hand and the
men were quickly taken out.
Pruitt was found to have sus-
tanned fearful injuries. His
back was broken and his body
literally crushed under the
weight Of 1900 brick and ce-
ment. Campbell escaped with
injuries that are painful but
not serious. He was hurt
about the head and chest and
his right knee was wrenched,
and painful bruises covered al
most his entire body.
DR.. Nell Bellinger was called
and both men were hurried to
che hospital in an automobile.
Pruitt's back was found to be
broken near the center. Sew
eral ribs were torn from the
spine and forced through the
skin, and the bones Of the
chest were broken.
The accident is believed to
have been due to the removal
of the forms and supports be-
fore the cement had been given
time enough to harden. When
DR.. Bellinger examined the
wreck he declared that it
seemed incredible that either
man could have escaped in
slant death.
Pruitt has been residing at
1922 Avenue G with his family
Of wife and four children. Mr..
Campbell is we'll known in the
city. He graduated from the
nigh school in 1903 and has a
fine reputation in foot ball and
school athletics. His physician
states that unless pneumonia
sets in from the injuries to his
chest he will soon be able to
leave the hospital. Mr.. Camp.
bell is secretary of the Council
Bluffs Remedy company, and
spends the greater part of his
time in the city.
The funeral of Joe Pruitt
will be held Saturday after

Gentlemen:
My reception in this place
this afternoon for HENRY
D1CKMAN & co, was a big
success in every particular
MIR. Dickman had my reception
we'll advertised for 4 p. m so
he did not think it necessary TO
make any drive and visit the
schools, but he sent a man to
each school with a lot of bills
and a sign, for each school, Civ
ing the time and place of the
reception. This sign was post
ed up where everyone could
read it. So, when q p. m ,
came we had a very large
crowd of people which nearly
blockaded the street in front of
Mr.. Dickman's store. | gave
my audience about an hours
talk on BUSTER BROWN
shoes and other 5 Star Special
ty shoes with the usual good
success.
The children were all glad to
see Tige and | again and all
held up their hands and re-
newed their promise to US
never to wear any other kind
of shoes but the BUSTER
BROWN BLUE RIBBON. |
drilled them thoroughly in the
line as scattered the souve-
Mrs among them, after which
Tige performed several of his
tricks, which pleased everyone.
After this announced to the
children that | had treat for
everyone and invited them into
the store. Mr.. Dickman's
store is two separate rooms
with an opening in the parti
ton wall in the rear, so | had
all the children let into one
room and as they passed me
single file on the way out
through the other room gave
each a bag of candy and pea
nuts. | must have given out
enough candy and peanuts to
have filled a sugar barrel.
Mr.. Dickman had photos
made of the crowd, which he
intends sending to you, along
with a letter regarding the re.
ception. He was very much
pleased with it in every way.
With best wishes, we are,
Yours respectfully.
