Comes To Joseph Underwood
Saturday Noon
Result Of Internal Injuries
Which He Received
By Being Run Over By Street
Car In This City

AS a result of internal injuries re.
ceived at the time of the accident
Joseph Underwood of South Vernon,
whose left foot was crushed when
alighting from street car on the
evening of September 9, died at noon
Saturday at his home on the Granville
road.
Owing to his general nutrition
being bad and on account of his gener-
al injury, the attending physician,
DR.. Stanton e. Deeley deemed it nee
essary to amputate the left leg mid
way between the ankle and the knee.
This was done Friday afternoon and
the patient recovered nicely from the
effect of the amputation. He passed
restful night, but on Saturday morn
ing he was suffering from internal in
juries, which he had suffered more
or less from since the accident. He
grew rapidly worse and death re-
suited at noon.
Mr.. Underwood was injured on Fri
day evening" Sept. 8. He was on the
way to the home of his daughter and
as he attempted to alight from a street
car at the corner of High and Jackson
streets he was thrown from the front
platform and portion of his left
foot was crushed under the wheel of
the car. In the fall he also sustained
internal injuries, which were not con-
sidered serious at the time, but which
later proved fatal.
The deceased was 65 years of age
and is survived by his wife and two
daughters and two sons.
The funeral Monday afternoon from
the home and interment at st. Johns
cemetery.

body except on the side Of her head.
where a slight lump was raised. No
bones we're found to be broken, but
it was thought on Friday evening that
there were probably internal injuries
as a quantity Of blood was vomited by
the child. On Saturday morning, how.
ever, Mr.. Salisbury stated that the
child had passed very restful night
and was able to move about and turn
over in bed. Recovery is now ex-
pected as the indications of internal
injuries are not so evident as was the
case on Friday evening.

LACERATED
In Painful Manner We're c.
N. Duties Fingers

c, M. Butte, laborer employed at
the Mt. Vernon Bridge works, met with
most distressing accident while at
work Saturday morning about 1000
o'clock. He was working over a drill
and reached over his head to adjust
some part of the machinery when he
caught the fingers Of his right hand in
the gear. Three of the fingers were
badly lacerated so that amputation
will probably be necessary. The in
jured man was removed to the Mt.
Vernon Hospital in McCormick's am
bulance where he was attended by Ii.

How The Only Accident Of
The Fair Occurred

The only accident which occurred
to mar the races at the fair on Friday
afternoon was the unfortunate mishap
in which Louise, the four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Sal
isbury of East High street, was struck
and run over by two race horses. The
accident occurred during the 2:20
pace. The horses had scored a num-
Der of times in an effort to receive
the word "go" and it was during one
of these scores when the little child
suddenly appeared in the center Of the
track only to be knocked down and
placed at the mercy of the destructive
hoofs and wheels of the speeding
horses.
Mr.. Salisbury, the childs father,
states that during the afternoon
Louise had been sick at her stomach
and that he had given her some mon
ey with which to purchase some chew
ing gum, thinking that it might serve
to settle her stomach and quiet her.
He told her to wait until after the
race was over and they would go
over to the dairy kitchen and get the
chewing gum and the child appeared
to be contented with the plan. The
father released his hold on her arm in
order to get good view of the start
ers and he had not more than done so,
when the little girl suddenly made a
dash across the track directly in
front of the horses, which were going
at very swift pace.
The brace rod of the first suIky
struck the child on the right side of
her body, hurting her to the ground
several feet away. She struck the
track directly in the path of the Sec
ond horse, which with a sagacious
animal instinct, made an effort to
evade stepping on her and succeeded.
The driver of the second sulky dis
played wonderful presence of mind
when he discovered the child on the
track and knew that his wheel must
pass over her body. He
threw all his weight on the other side
of the cart almost lifting that side,
which passed over her body, off Of the
ground, making the pressure very
light and as result, no injury was
inflicted by the wheel.
AS soon as the accident was
over, the child was carried to the side
of the track where number of ply
sicians hastily assembled to render
all aid in their power. The child
was soon restored to consciousness
and an examination was made in order
to ascertain the extent of the injuries
but this was impossible at the time.
An automobile was hastily summoned
and the injured child was taken to the
office of Dr.. S. r. Deeley where more
thorough examination was made and
the necessary restoratives were ad-

Big DAY
For BeIIVilIe Was Home
Coming On Thursday

Thursday was the banner day of the
celebration at Bellville, the crowd
being estimated at between. 5000 and
5000 people.
The celebration is both a home-com-
ing and free street fair. Many old
citizens who left Bellville many years
ago, were back to attend the celebra-
tion and to greet old acquaintances.
The town was decorated with ban.
ners, welcoming the people and ban
ners and flags were displayed from
the homes and the business houses.
Mayor Strickenberger welcomed the
visitors and the Bellville Messenger
kept open house. Addresses were
made by State Treasurer Creamer of
Columbus and Geo. H. Chamberlain
of Lorain.
Music was Furnished by the Bellyille
band and by a military band A base
ball game furnished entertainment for
lovers of that sport.
The free air exhibit was the big
feature of the whole affair. The ex-
hibits in all lines were a credit to
Bellville and the southern part of
the county. Especially was this true
of the fruit. Cation Bros. had a large
exhibit which called forth much ad-
miration.
The display of all farm products
was enormous. The live stock espec-
tally the pet stock, was exceptionally
good. The streets had been closed
so the exhibitors could have the best
places to display their stock and farm
products.

PROGRESS
And Success Demands Re-
modelling Of Our Office

To meet the demand for a we'll kept
office, and the large increase of bus
mess, also to keep pace with the
more modern dental appliances, we
have in the last few months added
most of the new appliances for doing
dental work in all its branches in the
most scientific manner.
To keep in line with our new and
improved method of doing dentistry,
we have not forgotten the comfort
and pleasure of our numberless pa
tients who might at times have to
wait. The first of the present week
we installed the finest line of office
furniture that the city OF Mt. Yer.
non could supply All this has been
accomplished by good dental work and
hundreds of satisfied patients in this
city and surrounding country whom
we wish to thank Hoping they will
continue to call on us at any time the
service of the dentist is needed. To
those who are not acquainted with us
and our prices and are in need of dem
tai work we most cordially invite
you to call if nothing more than an
examination and see a fine equipped
dental office.
Respectively yours,
