MAN, MAD, TRIES TO DIE.
Poison is Knocked From Lips of Err
nest Buchanan.

Considerable excitement prevailed
in the neighborhood of College and
Frederick streets yesterday afternoon
when it was reported that Ernest
Buchanan had attempted to take his
life.
Investigation developed the fact
Buchanan, after participating in a
family Misunderstanding concluded to
end his existence, secured a bottle of
laudanum and attempted to swallow
it.
The poison was knocked from his
lips by member of the family, but
fearing that he had swallowed some
of the drug, DR.. Paul r. Williams was
called. He responded at once, but
when he reached the Buchanan home
his patient had given him the slip and
could not be found.
A few minutes later he appeared at
the drug store of James Kinder in
Haarig. His request for poison was
denied and he then went to Wasem's
drug store, where he met with no bet
ter success.
He then disappeared, and up to a
late hour no trace Of him had been
found.

WIELPUETZ AUTO
UPSETS ON BAKER
Max Wielpuetz Imprisoned
Under Machine and Ribs
Are Broken

Max Wielpuetz of the C. Wielpuetz
bakery met with a serious accident
yesterday morning on his return from
limo, where he had gone in his auto
mobile to make his regular deliveries
to his Scott County patronage.
About four miles south of the city
he encountered pile Of rock in the
road and, before he could stop his car,
he ran into the obstruction with such
force that the machine turned COM
pletely over, stripping the top COM
pletely and reducing the wind shield
to fragments.
Mr.. Wielpuetz was pinned under the
car, where he was held until his COM
panion, Frank Shy, had secured as
sistance from nearby farmer, who
helped in releasing the imprisoned
driver.
Mr.. Shy was injured, but Mr..
Wielpuetz was badly hurt. Several of
his ribs we're broken; his back was
badly wrenched, and he received some
deep gashes in the top of his head.
The rock was placed in the road for
the purpose of filling up some chug
holes, and Mr.. Wielpuetz came along
before the workmen had completed re-
pairs. He was driving at moderate
rate, but failed to see the obstruction
on account of it being placed on an
abrupt curve, where it could not be de-
terted by anyone approaching from
the south, in time to avoid contact.
The injured man was taken to his
home and medical attention given him.
He is said to be suffering considerable
pain, but his condition is not regarded
as critical by his physician.
Tony Job. a former resident of this
County, who for years lived few
miles west of the Cape, on the Dutch
town road, is reported to have been
seriously injured a few days ago
while doing some work in his machine
shop at Advance.
Mr.. Job has been a cripple for many
years, having lost one of his legs in
sawmill accident when he was
young man, since which time he has
been compelled to use a wooden limb
attached to the left knee.
While attempting to correct some
defective condition of the machinery
he lost his balance and fell from a
shaky platform into one of the large
belts and was carried into the wheels
His body was badly mangled and the
wooden leg was torn to splinters. The
thigh to which it was attached was
broken in two places. His condition is
considered serious, and it is feared by
his physician that internal injuries
will develop.
