Atitoiuobilo Accident lotvoon
Hero and Merna.
Mrs. . James McGraw , of this place
met with nearly a fatal a'ccldont last
Friday while going to Mernn in tho'r
Automobile. Mr. and Mrs. McUrnw
had with them their baby grandson ,
ago 0 months , and Mrs. Win. Boyco
also a resident of Broken Bow. All
three of the adults were consider
ably advanced in years and their
ride was to bo ono of pleasure. The
party was about nine miles out and
had. nearly reached its destination ,
when , for some unncountablo reason ,
while running on level ground at a
reasonable rate of speed , the auto
mobile suddenly turned turtle , im
prisoning the occupants underneath
the car.
.Y.r. McGraw and Mrs. Boyco and
the baby only sustained slight injur
ies , Mrs. Boyco escaping the lightest *
of all ; but Mrs. McGraw was render
unconscious by being struck on the
back with the tonneau. Fotnnately
ono of Millers livery teams were
passing at the time of the accident
and the injured lady was uuicklyo
conveyed to Morna and placed under
Dr. Morrow's care. On making an
examination the physician discover
ed tiiat his patient was paralyzed
from the waist down. This "he said
resulted from the shock sustained
to the back which lie hoped would
wear off under careful treatment.
On Tuesday afternoon , John Mc
Graw motored to Morna and brough
his mother back home. She has so
far improved as to move her feet
slightly , but otherwise she is unable
to use her limbs. How the accident
occurred is somewhat of a mystery
as Mr. McGraw says the machine wa
under perfect control.

chuckled in the possession of a neat
little 8 , which they had earned by
good play and hard work. The
game was played on the south side

over seen here. Bothtcams worked
some fine plays , the high school
making several 40 yard runs. Twice
the homo team had the ball within
five feet of the goal , but lost it on
botli occasions. Homer Molyncaux
and Glen Heller , Broken Bow h'alf

10 yard runs that nearly resulted
In touch downs. The hlghschool

Glenn Heller. ' "Guy Kennedy and
IloUacc King did some star tackling
for the cloven. At the end of the
