Serious Runaway Accident.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY Accident
A serious accident occurred yester-
day at the corner of Locust and Fifth
streets. A pony being driven east on
Fifth street by Mrs. Craig Bedford,
residing one mile west of Aledo, be-
came frightened by dog running out
at it, and started at full speed. Upon
arriving at the corner of Locust street
the pony turned north at such a pace
that Mrs Bedford and her infant son
were thrown 10 feet to the side of the
road. The child was unhurt except
for a few bruises, while the mother,
who alighted upon her neck and
shoulder, was rendered unconscious.
The pony, which ran into the rear
Gooryard of the H. r. Morgan resi-
dence, became tangled in a clothes
line which was stretched there and
was halted. Mrs. Bedford was re-
moved to the home of her aunt and
uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Thompson.
Upon examination by a physician IL
was found that she was suffering from
a slight conclusion of the brain. Mrs.
Bedford remained in an unconscious
state until the middle of the after
noon. She was much improved today.

TONE UNSETTLED
IN WHEAT LISTS
Nervousness Generally in Evidence on
Market As Result of Tenor of
Germany's Note.

Chicago, May 5.-Lower prices on
wheat resulted today from nervous
ness over the German note, breaks in
quotations being confined to limits not
unusual under ordinary circum-
stances Trade was active. Opening
quotations, which ranged from lac to
1sd1Ac lower, with May at 1.121a
to lis, and July at 1.13 to 1.13s.. we're
followed by slight additional set backs
and then something of rally.
Later the market took a more decid-
ed upturn. Influenced by recoveries in
Wall street. The close, though. was
weak, at the same as Yesterdays finish
to Sc lower. with May 1121e and July
113A.
Corn receded with wheat. After
opening unchanged to 3sd1ec lower.
the market underwent some further
losses
Gains were scored later when wheat
values showed power to rally. The
close was steady, the same as yester-
days finish to sc lower
Oats merely paralleled the action of
other cereals. Price changes were
comparatively small Weakness of
grain spread to provisions. For the
time being, higher quotations appeared
to be ignored.
