Loses Leg Attempting TO Get On
Train.

Roden Laswell, a young fellow
who lives at Luzerne, suffered the
loss of his right leg in an attempt to
get on the local freight last Thurs
day morning near Powderly. Las
well had basket on his arm, as the
tram passed him he attempted to
get on it, but in some way was
thrown down, and the caboose ran
over the leg, MASKING it so that am
putation was necessary. The tram
crew did not see the accident, and
so did not stop. One or two pas
sengers saw the boy lying on the
track, but the train had gotten so
far away that they did not know
the boy was seriously injured.
Laswell is at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Hermon Westcrfeld, and is
getting along splendidly, and unless
complications arise will be out in a
few weeks.

Last Monday about noon Tom
Rhea, state treasurer assaulted Rob
ert Hardison, Jr., In the court house
at Russellville, using a heavy cane
which he had just borrowed from
some one. Mr.. HardIson was one
of the most active and effective sup
porters of Hon. X. Y. Thomas in
his campaign, and it is supposed
this aroused the anger of Rhea,
though Mr.. Hard;son suspected
nothing of the kind, and as Mr.
Rhca came up, Hardlson spoke and
offered his hand to Rhca, who with
an oath declined to shake hands and
struck Hardison over the head,
MASKING his hat and inilicting 4
laceration of the scalp. Friends
took Rhea away, and it is said he
left town on the first train. The
attack is said to have been unwar-
ranted, and Rhea is generally cen

Thomas Nominated For Congress

At the state primary held in the
third district last Saturday, Hon. X.
Y. Thomas was winner of the Dem
ocratic nomination for Congress,
carrying the counties of Allen, War
rem, Edmonson. Butler, Barren,
Metcalfe and Muhlenberg by ma
Jorlty of S,II4 votes while Hon.
John 5. Rhea carried the counties
of Todd, Simpson and Logan by
the majorities Of a,S67, leaving
Thomas majority in the district Of
247 votes, rs shown by the omcla,
count Tuesday, and Mf. Thomas
was awarded the certificate of cleo
ton. The race was a hot one from
the start, and the district has been
covered thoroughly by both candi-
dates, who made hustling canvass
and many speeches. The vote was
very light, but farmers were ex-
tremely busy, and many of them
did not have sufficient interest to
get out to cast vote. 1t is gener-
ally conCede that the nomination
is equivalent to an election, and SO
it appears that Mr.. Thomas will
have third term in Congress.
