CoMsTOCK HAS ACCIDENT.
Court Reporter Slips and Falls in
Turning, Breaks Glasses, Gut
ting Eyehall-May Lose
Eve

w. w. Comstock, reporter for
Judge Hobson Of the district bench
had a painful and serious accident
Monday evening, which it is feared
will cause the loss of his left eye.
Mr.. Comstock slipped and fell, strik-
ing and breaking his glasses, which
cut into his eyeball in a serious fash
ion. He is at Dubuque having the
injured eye looked after.
Mr.. Comstock was in the lobby of
the Hotel Commercial, talking with
Judge Springer, and leaning against
the wall. He turned to speak to
Judge Springer's court reporter, E.
F. Dougherty, and as he did so his
foot slipped on the floor, throwing
rim forward. His face struck on the
arm of the chair in which Judge
Springer sat, and his glasses were
struck from his nose and broken.
The broken pieces cut gashes
lhIOuSH Ilio iCLI SyCilu INV VIC p1iA
of the eye, also on his cheek. 1t was
close to the time for the Rock
Islands evening train, so DR.. King
hurriedly made arrangements to send
Mr.. Comstock to Dubuque, C. j.
Fitzgerald going to care for him on
the trip. They reached Dubuque at
/ a. m. yesterday, Dr.. Grasset wait
ing up for them and treating the eye.
He removed three pieces of broken
glass from the eye, and gave it as his
opinion that the chances were
against saving the sight. Meanwhile
DR.. Comstock of st. Paul had been
with and at first in
sisted that his brother should come
there at once, but later sent word
that he would better stay in Dubu-
que, as he could find no better eye
specialist anywhere.
Mr.. Comstock has beea reporter in
district court for twenty years, is
widely known and very popular, and
his case arouses much interest and
sympathy He is not due at another
session of district court till March
8 at Cresco. West Union Gazette.
Mr.. Comstock's many DEBORAH
friends will be sorry to hear of this
accident, and sincerely hope that the
sight of his eye will be saved.
