HORRIBLY MANGLED
Was Mrs. Belle ThaxtOn Of Higgins
port, Ohio, Saturday Night When
She Was Caught Under u
Street Car.

Mrs. Belle Thaxton of Higginsportr
Ohio, was horribly injured early Sat
urday night when attempting to alight
from car, being caught under 1t, los
ing her left leg and right foot.
Mrs. Thaxton was visiting her hus-
bands sister, Mrs. Ollie Holland or
Beech street fronting January Park
in the Fifth Ward. Saturday she visit
ed some other relatives above the city
and was returning to the Holland
home when the accident occurred.
The lady rang the bell to get
off the car west Of Union street
but as she did not ring soon enough
the car went on to the Walnut street
crossing. The car was running very
slowly and Mrs. Thaxton arose before
the car stopped and stepped OF. At
this place the car track is excavated
and there is a space between the run
ing board and the edge of the excava-
ton of about six inches In some
manner Mrs. Thaxton's feet slipped in
to this hole and her right foot was
caught under the car being cut of
leaving only the heel Her left leg was
horribly lacerated when caught be-
tween the running board and the
edge of the excavation. When
she fell, Mr.. Frank Shea caught
her by the arm and held up her
head until the car stopped which was
very soon. Had It not been for this
prompt act she would have probobly
been killed
AS soon as the car stopped, Mrs.
Thaxton was removed to the side walk
where her injuries were examined. II
was found that the left leg had been
terribly cut and bruised between the
knee and thigh and the right foot was
mashed. She was not unconscious af-
ter the terrible accident and directed
where she should be taken. Drs. Taylor
err and Narrower were called and she
was taken to the hospital where her
left leg was amputated.
1t is somewhat of a mystery how
Mrs. Thaxton slipped under the car
since the space is very small. There was
a large crowd on the car and she We
seated in the middle of the seat. When
she arose no one seemed to grasp the
idea that she would get of before
the car stopped and so no effort was
made to detain her.
Mrs. Thaxton lives in Higginsport
and is SO years of age. She is the
mother of IL children, all of whom live
near her.
The accident was the fault of no
enc. The car was in charge of Motor
man George Hunt and Conductor Rich
ardson, but neither of them can be
blamed in the least for the accident.
Just east of Walnut street seems
to be a hoodoo for the Street Car Co.,
as there have been several accidents
at this place. Several years ago
young boy was killed by car within
five yards of where the distressing ac-
c!dent of Saturday night occurred
Last summer negro womel fell
from a car near this place and was
slightly injured.

JOHN DARNELL
Captured BY Officer ThrOckmOrtOn
Early Sunday MOrning-Wanted
For Grand Larceny.

officer William Throckmorton early
Sunday morning captured John OAR
nell, who is wanted by the local au-
thorities for grand larceny.
Darnell was in Jail last week on a
charge of Bookkeeping but some of his
friends raised enough money to pay
his ane and he was allowed to go
free. Soon after this George Cum
minis, one of Darnell's pals was cap
tured and held on a charge of boot
Logging. Later investigation pointed
to the fact that Cummins had stolen
a number of garments, supposedly
from freight car. In Police Court
he pied guilty and claimed that he
had no accomplice but things seemed
to point to the completely of Darnell
A warrant was sworn out and he was
searched for by the police and was
soon located by officer Throckmorton.
When arrested Darnell did not know
that the police were after him and
was very easily captured
The case will be brought up in Po-
lice Court today. 1t may develop that
Darnell was the man who broke open
the car to steal the garments. Cum
Minis pied guilty to the charge of lar
ceny but said that he did not break
the car so it must be that he had an
accomplish.
Officer Throcknorton deserves great
credit for his capture as he is
much smaller man than Darnell.
Throckmorton is one of the best men
on the force and by his efficient SER
vice almost completely rid the West
End of evil doors. Although he has
what is considered as the worse peat,
things are now quiet and he expects
to keep them so.
