Monday morning while returning

Kelley, who has been working for r..
E. Nelson for the past several months,
met-with very serious accident. Fred
Hubel returning to town found him
under the overturned car just north
of town between the Wareham and
Shaw homes. Bert was conscious
when Hubel arrived just long enough
to answer the query as to how badly
he was hurt and then lapsed into in
sensibility which state he has been
in since that time. He was brought
to town by Mr.. Hubel and A. G. Shaw
and taken to DR.. Zimbeck's Office, but
was afterwards removed to the home
of Rev. M. B. Erickson.
The only external injury is bruise
on left side of his head. Nothing is
known definitely as to how the acct

car was being driven too fast and got
out of contro' the track of the wheels
bearing out the supposition. The Cal
was quite badly damaged and gave
