An accident took place Saturday that
came near costing one man his life and
put into jeopardy the lives of three
other parties. Will Kearnes and
three other men attended the horse
race at Arion Saturday, going and re-
turning in Mr.. Kearnes' rig. On the
way home reckless driving caused the
team to gain such Roadway in speed,
that they were soon beyond control OF
The occupants of the buggy. When
the railroad crossing was reached the
buggy was overturned, throwing all
parties to the ground with such force
as to break four of Mr.. kearnes' ribs
and he is thought to be hurt internally.
The other men were badly bruised and
were nearly stripped of their clothing.
They were brought into town and Mr..
Kearnes put to bed at the hotel,
where he still lays under physicians
care. The buggy is wreck. 1t is an
unfortunate happening, but all should
be thankful that they escaped with
their soul and body together. This
should be a lesson but will they and
others accept this warning?

far as men were concerned Saturday,
which day was scheduled as being the
