A. r. Bringolf Hurt.

A. r. Bringolf received painful
injury yesterday while driving a
wagon, Mr.. Bringolf had just plac-
ed heavy telephone pole on the
wagon and was taking it to the rail-
road yards, where it was to be used.
Before IL was noticed, one Of the lines
had wound around the wheel and
pulled him from the wagon. He fell
on his right side and at first thought
he had received q broken arm, but
when a physician examined it he
found that the ligaments had been
torn loose at the elbow, but that no
bones were broken. The injury is
very painful and will probably keep
Mr.. Bringolf from working for some
time.

WEBSTER CITY NAN
IN RAILROAD WRECK
Escaped Uninjured, Due to Steel Cars
Passengers Suffer From
Cold.

Prof ID. M. Kelly of this city re
turning from a lecturing trip to Ell
kader, Ia, was in the wreck on the
Illinois Central railroad about
o'clock Sunday morning, of which
mention is made elsewhere in today's
paper. He escaped uninjured. al
though he considers it only due tc
the steel framework of the cars that
the entire human freight of the five
cars which left the track did not
meet horrible death.
Prof. Kelly was in a chair car, i'm
mediately back of the smoker and
when the car left the rails, was
thrown out into the aisle. Much suf-
fering from cold was endured by
many of the passengers, among whom
were old people and children, on ac-
count of window lights being broken
and the heating appliances of the
train thrown out of commission. The
wreck occurred about three miles
from New Hartford, and the train,
which was due to arrive here at 2:52
a. M, did not arrive in the city until
about p. m. Sunday. A new track
had to be constructed before the re-
lief train could proceed. ...
