morning" he said. "and my wife
bathes them every evening. What
more do you want? Should I get uI

under advisement.

A Good Guess,

The teacher had explained that q
monarchy is country ruled by king.
The pupils got that.
''If the king dies, who rules?" the
teacher continued.
"The queen" some one suggested.
Eyes, under certain circumstances
which I shall explain later, that Is
true. Now, if the queen dies, who
takes her placer"
Only one boy ventured to reply.
"The jack" he said.

Dea. E. c. Potter and Morris Sege
Seriously Injured By Frightened
Team On Eastern Avenue
BOTH CUT AND BRUISED
Mr.. Potter Suffering from Conclusion
and Shock-Mr. SegeI Had Left
leg Broken in Collision With
Team He Was Driving
Family in Russia.

While crossing Easter navenue Mon
day morning, Dea. E. c. Potter was
struck by a runaway team belonging
to Beauregard Brothers, thrown into
the air and struck on the head by
the hind wheel of the meat cart, his
head badly cut and his body bruised
all over. He is suffering from shock,
concussion and the bruises, but if
there are no new developments, will
recover.
Quicker than it can be told the
runaway horse dashed on and locked
into the team of Mr.. Nuremburg
which was being driven up Eastern
avenue by Morris Segel, Nuremburg's
horse was thrown to the ground and
Mr.. Segel was thrown on the curbing
with such force that the pelvis
bone was fractured and it is possible
he is injured internally.
An X-ray examination of Mr.. SegePs
hip Monday afternoon showed a frac-
tured pelvis.
Mr. Potter looked the worst with
blood running all over his head and
face and partially dazed so he did not
realize what had happened. Mr.. Sc
gels case is especially sad as
he has a wife and three child
rem residing in Russia who will
be left without a bread provider for
several weeks at the best.
Mr.. Potter's affliction seems partic-
ularly severe as he suffered consider
able financial loss recently. He was
on his way to Guy w. HilPs office with
some papers and was nearly across
the street when he was hit. Alphonse
Nolin was on the sidewalk in front
of G. E. Browns store and called to
Mr.. Potter to warn him of the danger
but he either did not hear or was
unable to get off the street before the
horse struck him. Both men were
taken to Brightlook hospital where
their injuries were treated.
The Beauregard horse was left
standing in front of Miss Burton's on
Main street while Louis Beauregard
who was driving the cart, went into
the house with some meat. 1t is not
known how he started as he was
hitched to weight. 1t is thought he
might have become entangled in the
rope attached to the weight and got
frightened. He dashed down Eastern
avenue at a terrific rate. The two
wagons were torn from the horses
and hurled about so feet down street
and left at the corner of Prospect
avenue and Eastern avenue. The
railing at the corner was somewhat
bent and the letter box nearly
knocked down. The Beauregard
horse was stopped on Railroad street
and the Nuremburg horse caught as
soon as it was able to get to its feet
Neither horse was seriously hurt
