crushed pelvis and a scalp
wound as the result of a motor

The accident took place near
the Orville Lands farm on the
Fennimore road. The Meyers
family were enroute north to
spend the day with Boscobel
friends. Mr.. Meyers and son,
Carl, were in the front seat,
! with Mrs. Meyers, Florence and
Frank in the back seat.
Going down an incline toward
bridge the Meyers car met a
car coming south driven by Will
Caspers. The story is that Mr..
Meyers pulled to the right and
that the Caspers car struck his
car at the back end. 1t is said

She was brought to the hospital
here at once. The other passen-
gers were unhurt excepting Flo

SUICIDE, DEATH
AND INJURY IN
AUTO SMASHUP

BLUE RIVER-Leroy Chit
wood, president of this village,
and wealthy retired farmer, was
found shot to death in his gar
age, Christmas morning. A re-
volver which he had borrowed
from Hiram Leffingwell, village
marshall, was found at his side.
Chitwood is said to have been
respondent for weeks. 1t is be-
lieved that he committed suicide.
According to Mrs. Chitwood,
he arose at 3 o'clock Monday,
complaining that he could not
sleep. He is thought to have
gone Immediately to the garage
and killed himself.
Friends declare that Mr.. Chit
wood had been brooding over a
loss of money in a business deal.
They do not believe that this
was the real motive for his sui
eide because the sum involved
was not large enough and Mr..
Chitwood was a man of consider
able wealth. He is survived by
a widow and three children.
The funeral services were held
at II o'clock this morning.

Autobiography of a Tooth

Ny name is Mr. MOlar. My home
has always been in Tommy Browns
mouth. | first began to appear when
Tommy was years old. His parents
thought | was just milk tooth so
they neglected me. In few months
I grew tired of being neglected and
demanded attention by giving Tommy
a little pain. His parents thought l
wasn't important. but through Tommy
found | was. for I kept Tommy awake
all night and he kept them awake. The
next day they took him to the dentist
who told them | was really per
manent tooth and that many other
parents had thought the same thing
to the sorrow of the owner OF the
tooth.
The dentist gave me a good cleaning
and filled tiny hole in my side which
was a result of my being neglected.
He told Tommy to brush me with a
good tooth paste each morning and
evening Tommy, mindful OF the pain
/ had caused him, took good care OF
me for a while Then he began neg
lecting me again and finally forgot all
about me. Little particles OF food
would lodge on me. This didn't bother
me very much but it made Tommy S
breath so bad that I pitied the boy as
he sat at school.
One day a small germ which was IN
the food crept into the crack in my
side. and then some more relatives
came Finally the germs grew very
troublesome and I couldn't get rid OF
them. Tommy could, so I started to
give him a good reminder that |
wouldn't stand being neglected. One
morning Just as Tommy started to go
to school, I started in, and by the
time he reached school | was aching
quite badly. They were having .ex-
aminations that morning in language
and arithmetic which were Tommy's
hardest studies. He couldn't think OF
half the answers because I was hurt
ing so much, and in consequence he
failed in both I was sorry for him
but it was all his own fault. The
next day he went to the dentist and
had me fixed up but not before | had
given him some trouble that he would
remember for a long time.
