leaves today for Harlan, where he

faith but has commanded the admira-
ton and respect of non-Catholics as

spent at the close of which Rev. Burk-
heiser was presented with a purse as
an expression of the high regard in
which he is held. In responding Rev.

treatment he had received from the
people of the community, the fact his

the highest respect for the people of

Fatal Accident Near tidgeway.

J. X. Preston, we'll known and
highly esteemed farmer, who resides
about six miles southeast of Ridge
way, met with a fatal accident last
Monday morning, when span of
mules, which he was driving, ran
away with him, throwing him from
the wagon and causing injuries
which resulted in his death
Mr.. Preston had brought hogs to
RiGeeway that morning and was re-
turning home about nine O'Clock
when the accident happened. He was
passing the Young farm, on which
Carl Maxwell resides, about two
single-tree in some manner became
detached from the double-trees and
fell, striking one Of the animals so
as to cause it to lunge forward and
start to run away. The wagon tongue
dropped down, and evidently, at this
jnncture, Mr.. Preston was pulled Off
the wagon. His hands We're slightly
split as if he had had the lines wrap
ped around them and the force OF the
mules, pulling hard, had wrought
this injury, and evidently the wagon
wheels passed over both his lower
limbs and body.
His cries for help brought Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Maxwell to his assistance
and he was carried into the Maxwell
home and DR.. J. H. Morroway was
Immediately summoned. Upon exam
ination it was disclosed that the
bones in the left ankle were broken
and crushed, and about five ribs Oh
each side of the spine were torn
loose and broken and there We're
slight scratches on the face and ears.
Although Mr. Preston suffered the
greatest agony, he was able to relate
how the accident happened, and re-
the time until he passed away be-
tween two and three o'clock in the
afternoon. The doctor reports that
death was largely due to the shock
prolonged by internal hemorrhage.
The remains were taken to the
home of the deceased Monday even
ing. Funeral services were held at
the Midway church Wednesday after
noon, conducted by Rev. G. l.. Weik,
and the body was laid to rest in the
Ridgeway cemetery.
Mr.. Preston was born, August 10,
1853, and on the day of his death
was 81 years, 10 months and days
old. He is survived by wife and
five children, namely, Alva, William,
and Melvin Preston, Mrs. Emma
Lark and Mrs. Rule Bishop, all of
whom were present at the funeral.
