(PIattevilIe Witness.)

(BIaIJ6Vlll6 w lJu6SS.)
Frank Golden, while pursuing his
cleaning on Main street, Monday morn
ing, was knocked down and run over
by an auto driven by Ernie Ovitz. He
sustained a serious cut on his head
and was bruised on the body. Mr..
Martin, who was riding in the car,
says no blame can be attached to Mr..
Ovitz; that he was coming down with
the power cut off and was going slow.
1t is said that Mr.. Golden evidently
thought the car was going to take an
other direction, and that he stepped
in front of it not giving Mr.. Ovitz time
to use his emergency brake. The ac-
cident was an extremely unfortunate
one which will lay Mr.. Golden up for
some time.
While Elmer Brown and three 9TH
ers were on their way to Benton Mon
day morning, while running at rapid
speed over a rough road, the right
wheel broke and the car was thrown
upside down. No one was seriously
injured. Mr.. Brown sustained sever
al severe bruises on his face. A new
wheel was telephoned for from Ben
ton and the car proceeded to that
place on its own power.
The baby boy of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Benson was inferred in Graceland

Invitations are out for the wedding

Mrs. Bert Bobo has been very ill

James Baker returned Saturday

he has been in a sanitarium for sew
