A Serious Accident
.
On Tuesday afternoon little
Mies Ethalia the nine year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs T. . T.
Gardner, met with a serious ac
cident which came near causing
her death.
Her mother had sent her to the
store for a window glass4 and on
her way home she fell in some
way, breaking the glass and cut
ting a bad gash in her throa
severing one of the arteries. She
jumped up and hurred toward
home but fell from the loss of
blood and was found in this con
dition bv a colored man who
picked her up and took her home
Drs Ward and Giliner were
both called and for a time it was
feared she would bleed to death
as they had difficulty in finding
the severed artery, at last, how
ever, this was founa and the
wound properly dressed and at
this writing the little girl is get
ting along as well as could be ex
pected. We deeply sympathize with
Mr. and Mrs. Gardner in their
great anxiety and crust their lit
tle girl may soon be restored to
perfect health.
Two Near Fires.
On Thursday night last, just
as were pu. ting up our mail the
fire siren sounded and upon lo
cating the fire it was found to be
in the Home of Mr. W. W. Ange
and had been discovered in time
to do little damace. The familv
Hill: were in the dining room finish
ing supper and Miss Annie went
to the sitting room to tee what
time it was when she found the
mantle on fire, it having sup
posedly caught from the- pipe
from the heater which entered
the flue just below the mantle.
Mr. Ange was not at home, but
Mrs. Ange had presence of mind
to use what water was at hand
and had the fire under control
before connection could be made
with a hydrant.
