How Dr.. Cantrell
 Received Injuries

The Monroe County Citizen, pub lished at Brinkley to which city the late Dr. R. L. Cantrell went from Paragould, prints the follow ing details of the auto accident that caused the death of Dr. Can trell last Saturday:
 "Dr. Cantrell and Dr. Hudson, a dentist of Des Are, were riding in Dr. Hudsons auto, when in trying to dodge a COW lying in the road, ran into another COW which ran unexpectedly across the road. The car and the two men were con- siderably shaken up by the colli- sion with the animal, but upon ex- animation everything seemed to be all right and they started on again. After going mile or more down the road one of the radius rods of the car came loose and caught in the front wheel, turning the wheels across the road and upsetting the car. In turning over the car threw Dr. Hudson clear of the car, but Dr. Cantrell was caught in the side of the car or the seat and his chest crushed. He was rushed to a hospital at Little Rock, but died soon after arriving there.
 During his stay in Brinllley he made many friends, as he was a quiet, gentlemanly young man of pleasing manner and sociable dis position. His untimely death is regretted by all who knew him."
