which will probably leave her manned
for life. The accident happened while
descending the basement stairs at the
school house. She fell down the en-
tire flight and as result her right
foot was literally torn off. Both bones
of the right leg protruded thru the
flesh two inches and the wound
caused by the bruising of the skin is
probably four and a half inches wide.

After expanding nearly $1,000 for
digging a we'll and installing pump
with which to secure a water supply
for the new Y. NJ. c. A. building. the
| association is facing the prospect of
either digging new we'll or using city
water. The water from the new we'll
is so full of mineral matter that the
suitability of its use for ordinary pur
poses is doubtful. When first pumped
| from the we'll the water comes as clear
as crystal but after standing for an
| hour or two it becomes of a dirty red
tinge from the precipitation of the
mineral matter contained. The pro-
| duct of the we'll has a. slightly alkaline
taste, and acts as mild aperient. The
taste is not disagreeable.

Andy kilgore. A years old, died at
his home four miles southwest of here,
as result of injuries sustained in an
accident May II. 1906. He was hauling
dirt and while driving his team down
near The -..lingrnn hotel they took
fright and the unfortunate man was
caught in the running gears of the
wagon and dragged for several blocks,
crossing the railway tracks twice.
When he was released from under the
wagon he was thought to be dead. He
finally rallied but for weeks no one
thought he could possibly live from one
day to the next. His outward bruises
and internal injuries were frightful
For months and even years he suffered
intensely. He never recovered fully. He
was taken to the hospital in Omaha a
number of times and his right leg am
putated. This amputation process was
| gone thru with four times, taking a
small portion of the injured member off
each time A Drawer man never was
| seen.
