was seriously injured at the corner OF
Second and Market streets near noon

the running board Of the machine and
his right wrist was broken.
Mr.. Key was crossing the street
from the Swift Drug store corner and
Mr.. Rubenacker was driving down
Market street. Mr.. Key thought that
the car was turning to go East on Sec
ond and was caught as the car turned
to the westward. Fortunately the ma
chaine was not moving very rapidly
when he was struck.
The right wrist, however, was badly
broken. 1t was Immediately set by a
physician but will probably give Mr..
Key much pain and will inacapacitate
him from his work for some time to
come.

TEETH WENT OVERHEARD.

Squire l.. NJ. Coils, the genial mil
Ter at Orangeburg, met with a rather
disastrous accident at his fishing camp
on Kinney Saturday afternoon which
brought a rather abrupt end to his
Fishing trip. The Squire was landing
a good sized one in his boat in the
middle of one of the deepest holes in
the stream when he turned his head to
emit sudden and violent gush of air
through the mouth and nostrils, in
other words, to- sneeze, and his teeth
were thrown violently into the stream.
His Maysville friends about the court
house were not quite so cruel as to ask
him whether or not he landed the big
fish. The Squire was in the city to-
day to place an order for another pair
and it was rush order too for spring
chicken time is here and butter bean
time is nigh.

SATURDAYS STORM
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
IN THIS VICINITY
Residence on Judge Rice's Farm Burn.
ed-Horses and Cattle Killed BY
Lightning and Many Buildings
Damaged By Wind.

The terrific wind and rain storm
Saturday afternoon did considerable
damage to property throughout vari-
Gus sections of Mason county and in
some parts developed into hail storm
which did much damage to growing
crops and especially big tobacco. Hill
land which was planted in tobacco was
badly washed and corn was laid to the
ground in many places.
Probably the most serious damage
was done in the Hill City Pike section
where splendid house on the farm of
Judge w. H. Rice was bruned to the
ground. The house was occupied by
Mr.. Harvey Rice. son Of the owner, and
practically all of their household
goods were destroyed in the fire. A
piano and some of the furniture was
carried from the parlor and saved but
the balance of the property was de-
stroyed,

large stack of wheat on the farm of
Mr.. John Cochran was struck by light
ming and burned entirely to the ground
= very great loss.

damaged by the high wind and barn
belonging to Mrs. Betty Carr in the
Orangeburg neighborhood was also
damaged A barn on Mr.. John Rings

two others were damaged by the wind.
Mr. Roger Lyons, Of Rectorville, lost
two valuable horses killed by lightn-
ming and in the Germantown neighbor-
hood the losses are heavy.
The hail was damaging only in Sec
tions and most of the tobacco will
more than likely grow out. The tele-
phone system was put out Of commits
sion and many trees were blown down
Representatives of the Mason Coun-
ty Mutual Insurance Company, which
has many losses throughout the coun-
ty, will inspect the losses today and
tomorrow after which complete tab
. ulation of the damage can be given.
