work, and the five FESTIVE suspects
were carried to the station house and
given an opportunity to make an ap

The officers say that this place has
caused them more trouble than all
the other places in town put together,
and they are determined to keep

the place either get punishment
or stop so much Of the trouble.
This is the same place that has

Ed DOOLEY FALLS
FROM HIS WAGON
AND BADLY HURT
HEAD CUT AND EAR LAcERATED
BY THE ACCl-
DENT.
DR.. PILLOW SEWS THE WOUNDS
Occurs on Mt. Pleasant Pike Near
Dukes Store, Friday Night About
6 O'Clock-Unconsciou for Sever
al Hours.

Ed Dooley, who has driven a wagon
for the Standard Oil Company for a
number of years in this county, fell
from his wagon Friday night while
driving along the Mt. Pleasant pike
near Dukes store, between 6 and Z
O'Clock, ana was seriously hurt.
Another driver was just behind
him and saw him when he fell and
went to his relief He found the man
unconscious and hurried to the store
for help. The unfortunate man was
carried to the residence of Mr.. Duke
and Dr. Pillow was called and admin
istered to his needs.
The flesh was torn from his skull
ON one side and one ear was badly
lacerated, requiring number Of
stitches both in the fleshy part OF the
head and the ear.
When he was carried to the home
of Mr. Duke he was very cold. in fact
in an almost frozen condition and 1t
was after IL o'clock before he was
gotten warm, and it was $3.50 this
morning before he regained con-
seriousness.
His injuries were looked on AS Of
a very serious nature and his rela-
tives were telephoned of the acct
dent, and his brothers went
down to see him. This morn
ing reports are that he is conscious
and seems to be in much better con-
dion
1t is thought that the wagon went
over a rock or something that gave
it a sudden lurch, the foot board of
the wagon was covered with ice and
the man was numb with cold and fell
from his seat on that account
