CLERK TEMPLE RESIGNS,
ELDER 16 AlTOLVTEl)
Tuesday evening at the regular
meeting of th city council, City Clerk
Temple tendered his resignation,
which was aceepted and O. E. Elder
appointed and confirmed to fill the va
cancy. Mr. Temple's action had been
decided upon some time ago, and was
brought about by the pressure of
much other business In the real es
tate and insurance lines and his
duties as secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. He was appointed
clerk July 2, 1907, and has by the
votes of the people since been retain
ed. That he has made an efficient and
courteous clerk cannot be galn
sayed. The appointment of Mr. Elder
means that the office has fallen in the
hands of one who is well qualified
to succeed Mr. Temple. He is one of
our most painstaking citizens, has ex
cellent clerical ability, Is very cour
teous in his business transactions, and
his office In the Keith theatre is easi
ly accessible during business hours.
F0RE3IAX AT BRIDGE
HAS SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Just at a time when the Omaha
Steel Co., builder of the new bridge,
was congratulating Itself upon the fact
that the structure had been built with
out serious accident, and Just when
the clearing up work was almost done,
"HI" Carpenter, the steel foreman,
suffered a breakage of bones in both
legs Wednesday afternoon. The acci
dent occurred when the rails on tho
track used to convey material were be
ing dragged three at a time by a wire
cable, and the ends caught against
an obstruction. While tho cable was
thus at high tension Carpenter effect
ed a release of the lodgement and be
fore he could get out of tho way the
rails swung round with great velocity
and struck him on tho legs. The left
leg was fractured abovo the knee, and
tho bones broken below tho kneo and
at tho ankle, and tho right ankle bone
broken.
Dr. Sims was at once summoned and
Carpenter conveyed to the General
Hospital, where the fractures were re
duced. While tho Injuries aro serious,
It Is believed that Mr. Carpenter will
through time regain full use of his
limbs.

five years, which is generous.
