Serious Accident to Popular Young
Lady While Young People
Were Boating.
AT cRoFToN LAST SUNDAY
Some Hope That the Sight of The
Optic May Not Be
Destroyed.

Miss Elosie Bowles, one Of Hop.
kinsville's most popular and attrac-
tive young ladies and a niece Of
Mrs. W. R. Bowles, was seriously in
jured Sunday afternoon at the Crof-
ton Lake.
Miss Bowles, her aunt and uncle,
G. R. Hayden, and several friends
had gone to the lake to spend the af-
ternoon. Late in the afternoon, Miss
Bowles and two or three of the young
men were out boatriding and
some of the young men were fishing.
Mr.. Weller, one of those fishing, was
using an artificial bate with several
hooks. In drawing back for cast
Snese hooks struck Miss Bowles in
the face, one imbedding itself in her
brow and another penetrating the
eyeball of her left eye. So deeply
was the hook imbedded that it could
not be extracted at the lake and the
young lady was rushed to the hos
pital here, where it was removed.
She is doing as well as could be
expected, under the trying ordeal and
there is some hope that the sight of
her left eye may not be destroyed.
Miss Bowles has stood up most he
roically under the ordeal It was
thought at first that her eyesight had
been destroyed but she endured the
terrible pain which she suffered 5ur.
ing the long ride back to town with
out complaint
Mrs. Bowles, who reared her niece
since babyhood, was prostrated over
the accident.

Mr.. AND MRS. sEtMER NELSON,
OF GILMAN, MAY SURVIVE
INJURIES.
NELSON SHOWS MARKED
IMPROVEMENT DURING NIGHT
Becomes Rational and General Condi-
ton Is Much More Satisfactory, -
Mrs. Nelson Probably viii Live,
But Improvement Will Be Slow -
Inquest Not To Be Held.

Hope was expressed today by the at
tending physician for the recovery OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. Selmer Nelson, OF
Gilman. who were seriously injured
Tuesday in the accident at the
Twelfth avenue crossing when a
Northwestern passenger train struck
their automobile and killed Mrs. A. X
Deshong, who had accompanied them
to this city to attend the armLstite
/ day celebration.
! The condition of Mr.. Nelson this
morning was much more favorable
than that Of his wife Altho he sus-
tanned fracture of the skull, the frac-
ture had been upward, causing little
pressure on the brain, and the I'M
proyement shown between midnight
| and morning was pronounced. Today
the patient was rational for the first
| time since the accident. The skull
WAS fractured on both sides.
Mrs. Nelson is expected to recover
| but Improvement will be slow. The
| lower part of her body is temporarily
paralized and she may face, the neces-
| sity Of again learning to walk after
she is dismissed from the hospital.
No Inquest To Be Held.
It was decided late Wednesday to
hold no inquest. This decision was
reached by the acting coroner DIR. w.
S. Devine, after a, conference with the
attending physician, DR.. G. Z. Her
mence, and questioning witnesses to
the accident.
Mrs. Nelson told Wednesday of the
accident. saying the party had not
started for home, but, losing interest
in the program at the fair grounds.
had left the celebration to drive about
the city. In the course Of their drive
Mr.. Nelson started out on the paved
road on Twelfth avenue and after
running to the end OF the paving
started back. It was at the railroad
crossing on the way back to the city
that the accident occurred.
They had expected to remain in the
city until after the evening parade,
Mrs. Nelson said, and were enroute to
the business district for supper when
the car was struck.
Deshong Funeral Today.
The body Of Mre Deshong was taken
to Gilman Wednesday evening and
funeral services were held at o'clock
this afternoon at the Gilman Methodist
church. The services were in charge
OF o. w. Lippincott. BBurial was in
Prairie View cemetery.
Automatic Gates Needed.
1t is the opinion Of DR.. w. S. DeVlne'
acting coroner, who after investigating
the circumstances and Intervening
the witnesses, decided that an inquest
was unnecessary that this. accident
clearly shows the need of automatic
gates at this crossing. 1t Is a danger
GUS crossing for traffic from the south
and is doubly SO because three main
line tracks are crossed. DR.. Devine' to-
day took UP with members Of the city
council the evident need of making ap-
plication to the railroads and the state
railroad commission for the installing
| Of gates on Twelfth avenue.
