TEAM FRIGHTENED AT AUTO

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Thompson
were thrown from their buggy Sum
day afternoon while returning to
their home about six miles north of
the city. They narrowly escaped
fatal injury.
The Thompsons had been in the
city visiting relatives and were re-
turning home about four o'clock in
the afternoon, Mr.. Thompson was
driving very high spirited team.
They had just reached the top of
the hill north of the city when they
were met by Verne Clifton in his AL !,
tomobile. The horses Mr.. Thomp-
son were driving became frightened
at the car and started to cause
trouble. Mr.. Thompson managed to
hold them until Mr.. Clifton stopped,
but instead of quieting down when
the car stopped they continued kick
ing and plunging in a terrible man
ner. Mr.. Thompson finally lost con-
troll over them and the carriage was
overturned. The occupants were
thrown violently to the ground. Mr..
Clifton hurried to the place where
they were thrown out, and although
Mr.. Thompson received some Fad
burises and had several painful
wounds about the face, he was able
to arise. However, his wife was I'M
able to move without assistance.
The injured people were taken into
the home Of j: H. Craig, who resides
close to the place where the accident
occurred. A physician was sent Tor
and as Mrs. Thompson was found
to be- quite seriously injured, the
couple, were brought back to the city
and taken to the home OF MI.
Thompson's mother, Mrs. John
Thompson, who resides on West Elm
street. Though Mr.. Thompson Is not
seriously injured and escaped with
some wounds about the head. his wife
ia stfll confined to her bed with
spinal injury. It Is also thought
that she may be hurt internally.
Though the cause of the accieent
was Mr.. Clifton's automobile, he is
in no sway to be blamed, as he was
driving slowly at the time and stop
ped his car as soon as it was posi-
bile.

through six or seven centuries
through nine generations in Amer

genealogy OF the family includes
the famous John Durham. OF Scroo.

"A STRONG LETTER
OF ENDORSEMENT
Manson Friend Writes to Rev.
Kamphoefner Strongly Com
mending Dr.. Calfree.

Rev. G. H. Kamphoefner received
a letter this morning from Mr.. NJ
w. Fitz, president of the Farmers
Savings Bank and one Of the lead
ing citizens of Manson, with whom
Mr.. Kamphoefner has had a pleas
ant intimate acquaintance for q
number OF years, in which he speags
of the work done in Manson by DR..

eyangelistic meetings at the Meth

Fitz says:
Dear Brother Kamphoefner: !
learn that you have been fortunate
enough to secure the services CT
evangelist VIM. John Calfee for a
series Of revival meetings, and am
just volunteering a line to you to
congratulate you and your church in
being able to secure such an evan
gelist and at such a favorable time
of the year. Mr.. Calfee just closed
two weeks meeting here last night
which has been very successful in
every way, as he has interested so
many men whom other ministers Of
the gospel have not been able to get
up to. Every one, both out and in
the church, admires him. He does
not use a questionable nor an OBJ
iectionable method in his work. He
comes so near wearing the smile
that don't come of" and all his
work is of the sweetest kind. Every
one who hears him wants to hear
him again, and when he is done
with you there are no sore spots 20
be patched up. l have heard 1t
said repeatedly since he has been
here that when we want an evange-
list again we wont take any
chances with a stranger If Brother
Calfee can be had. Others say that
he could come back here and start
a meeting with as large a crowd as
he closed this meeting with.
Tell your folks that they can safe
" throw away their prejudice
against evangelists: that instead o.
slipping in on the back seat the first
night, that they can safely walk
down to the family pew and feel
proud to occupy it throughout the
meeting.
trust that the Spirit may move
your people to Righteousness and
that your effort may be crowned
with great success.
Yours truly.
