Members of the board of supervisors
of Mahaska county were busy all day
Tuesday canvassing the poll books of
the general election held Tuesday,

good, full day without completing the
task. They reached the Oskaloosa

nounced in the first returns will be
changed. One change of forty votes
was found and another of fifty, but in

Jesse Monkman, pastor of the Meth
odist charge at Killduff. Dr. Stat
ford sustains a fracture of the right
arm above the wrist and broken rib.
He is now at his home, No. 313 North
First street, where he was brought
Monday morning following the acct
dent. He has suffered pain but the
injuries are doing as well as can be
expected and unless unlocked for
complications interfere, recovery will
be rapid DR.. Stafford and Rev.
Monkman were seated in light top
buggy. Upon approaching a sharp
turn near a high embankment the
vehicle was met by an automobile
driven by DR.. Carpenter of Lynnville.
The car was travelling so rapidly that
il could not stop and the road was so
narrow that no passing was possible.
The occupants of the buggy had the
choice of being struck by the machine
or driving over the side OF the bank
and they took the chance Of the lat
ter. They had no time to jump. AS
the buggy went over the side it
turned over and the horse fell over
with it, making a bad miX-up in which
DR.. Stafford suffered the injuries
mentioned. Rev Monkman escaped
with slight hurts, nothing more seri.
scratches and a severe shaking up.
DR. Carpenter returned to the relief
IOf the victims, took them to his home
where DR. Stafford received attention.
DR.. Stafford exhibited remarkable
pluck and fOrtitude and set an exam
pie that will not be forgotten soon in
the locality of the occurrence. He
showed remarkable self-pOssessiOn
and almost Immediately following the
setting of the broken bones he went
to the Lynnville church and emulated
Theodore Roosevelt by addressing the
meeting in spite of his condition and
his suffering and delivered a strong
sermon that was made doubly effect
i've by the circumstances Of the hour
The place where the accident &C.
Cured is known in the community as
the Moran Corner" and is said to
be one of the worst places in the
country, dangerous and impossible.
The accident has aroused the local
.ity to the necessity for immediate ac-
ton and the possibility of another ac-
cident of the sort is to be removed.
DIR. Stafford and Rev. Monkman con
slider themselves fortunate as the &C
cident might easily have been attend
ed by serious or even fatal results
for one or more of the parties con-
lcerned. The victims are congratu-
lating themselves that the accident
twas no worse and friends and asso-
ciotes are thankful for the fortunate
Outcome.
