MILTON PATTERSON INJURED
WHEN CAR CLIMBS CURBING

Milton Patterson CT this city, sut-
fered some painful flesh wounds Fri
day afternoon about 2:3O when the
automobile of Mrs. Casper Forbach
left the street and ran upon the side
walk at the Savings Bank corner. Mr..
Patterson and True Moore, who were
standing in front Of the bank talking,
saw the car when it was almost upon
i them. Had a second elapsed before
thew moved both might have been
seriously injured.
Mrs. Forbach was driving from the
North and was turning the traffic
post when the accident occurred. In
stead of turning all the way north
the track of the machine shows she
turned only partially and before she
could gain complete control of the car
it was upon The sidewalk, 1t struck
Mr.. Patterson, knocking him down,
but Mr.. Moore was uninjured. The
car stopped when it struck the corner
of the bank building. The only APP
parent damage to the machine was
a broken lamp.
Mr.. Patterson was Immediately
taken to a physicians office and Civ
en- attention. His wounds were upon
the left thigh, while painful, are not
considered serious. Mrs. Forbach was
greatly worried over the unfortunate
affair.
Mr.. Patterson Not Badly Injured
1t is thought that the M. H. Pat
terson, who was painfully injured ii
an automobile accident in Mexico
Friday on the Savings Bank cornel
is not dangerously injured. Boil
Mr.. Patterson's legs were badly cut
but if he is not internally injured it i
thought he will shortly recover. HI
had a bad night on Friday night, bu
is resting much easier today, and HI
, friends hope to see him out agar
soon.

The managers of the Central Mis-
souri, League teams met in Centralia
Wednesday afternoon May "a for an
executive meeting. All of the mana
gers were present and R. B. Horn Of

sided at the meeting. The managers
are Ty Roberts, Mexico; Hap Mueller
Centralia; j. 7. Hulen, Moberly; Chas.
Morris, Columbia; Cartwright, Paris;

The question of umpires was given
careful consideration and it was de-
cided to select three new men from
towns that were absolutely disinter-
esed in the league. These men will
be selected by the president but will
not be made public at present.

VANCE MORGAN RESCUED
SINKING THE THIRD TIME

Vance Morgan of this city came
near drowning Friday afternoon
when he and a party of friends were
swimming in the Burlington lake
east of this city.
All that saved Mr.. Morgan's life
was the fact that first aid was given
him and applied for fully an hour and
a half before he fully regained con-
seriousness. Young Culbertson is a
Boy Scout and learned how to ad-
minister treatment to the drowned
when attending the trips with the
local patrols here. This is one of the
first things taught local Scouts. Mr..
Morgan became exhausted in a deep
hole before he could reach the shore.
E. E. Rich and James Culbertson
saw him struggling but did not at
first thing he was drowning.
Albert Culbertson was near him
and went to his assistance but was
not strong enough to bring him to
the bank. Seeing that Mr.. Morgan
was really in danger Rich and James
Culbertson swan to him and got the
drowning man just as he went under
for the third time. Morgan was black
in the face and it took nearly an hour
to bring him to consciousness.
Mr.. Morgan is employed at the
Hoxsey hotel and is one of Mexico's
most popular young men. The Led
ger joins Mr.. Morgan's many friends
in extending sincere thanks and ap-
probation to Mr.. Rich and Mr.. Gull
bertson for rescuing him.
