afternoon with the toes on his right
foot badly broken and smashed. A

came clear through to DEBORAH be-
fore seeking medical aid, desiring
to get home first and not wishing to
go to a hospital in Cedar Rapids. 1t
was a painful ride for him, but he
stood it well. On his arrival to De-

and the injured toes taken care Of.
He will be layed up for some time.
Mr.. Black was in the Maynard wreck

Prominent Physician and Surgeon
Passed Away Thursday Morning
After Years Lingering
Illness.

The sorrowing news Of the death
of DR.. P. NJ. Jewell at his home in
this city early Thursday morning
struck keen sorrow to the hearts of
our citizens, coming as it did like a
thunderbolt from clear sky. AL
though he had been in poor health
for the past year little did his many
friends dream that the end was SO
near. He was taken sick about a
year ago, and last February under
went an operation at Rochester
which didn't seem to bring any relief
and again in June he submitted to
second operation at the same place
he never seemed to rally from them
and remained in a weakened condi-
ton until death brought relief.

A BAD ACCIDENT.

Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, while John Holverson and
sister Miss Bertha, who live near
Nordness, were returning from De-
corah, they met with a serious runa-
way accident, on the Calmar road,
about four miles from DEBORAH near
the Tom Hovey home. They were
driving a team of horses to a buggy
and another farmer came up to them
in the rear in an automobile. The
machine we understand frightened
the horses, and they started to run,
covering about d quarter of mile
when the occupants were thrown vi
olently to the ground. Mr.. Halvor-
son escaped unhurt, but his sister
was severally injured, having her
head split open from her right eye
to her ear. DR.. jewell was immedi-
ately called, and rendered her all the
medical assistance possible. While
the wound is serious one, no fatal
results are expected She is resting
easy today, we understand.

A Good Show,

Bought and Paid For, the four
act drama, which played at the Grand
Saturday night pleased large audi
ence. 1t depicted the marriage of a
multi-millionaire and a telephone
operator. Following the marriage,
trouble arises over the drinking hab-
it of the husband, his only habit his
wife cannot endure, and this is fol-
lowed by their separation, which is
brought about by insults offered her
while in drunken state. The wife
accepts position as clerk in a de-
partment store, and soon becomes
weary of her lot, after being used to
every luxury in the home of her
millionaire husband. She firmly re-
solved never to go back to him I'M
less he sent for her. So a reconcilia-
tion was brought about through her
sisters husband, who always had IAN
idea. He telephoned the husband
to call at his home as his wife wish
ed to see him, although she was in
nocent of the request. He came and
the break in their domestic relations
was mended. Joseph Gillow, as Rob
ert Stafford the millionaire was a
strong actor, and the rest of the com.
pany were on a par with him, max,
ing well balanced aggregation, and
the whole show not centering on one
star.

another horse was sent for to pull
him out, but before they got the 9TH

toppled over, going under the ice,
pulling Herman Tavenir in with him,
but he got out without any injury. A

remain a most pleasant memory to
all who ever had the pleasure of his

standing in the medical world was
of the highest degree.
