James Hit By Auto Crank.
W. C. James of Norfolk , a Modern
Woodman deputy , suffering with a
crushed cheek bone , Is a victim of
Norfolk's first automobile accident.
While working with a machine In
the Ahlman garage about 5 o'clock
last evening , Mr. James was struck
by an auto crank just below the left
eye , the blow smasklng and fractur-
ng the bone.
While the accident was a serious
mo serious results were not feared
unless complications set In.
Mr. James was In the act of turn
ing the crank when the gasoline en
gine started up with a jerk causing
ing the crank to swing round In his
tiand striking him with terrific force
in the fact. He was taken at once to
the Ahlman home.
The machine which Mr. James was
cranking was not his own runabout
but an old machine in the garage
which had just been fitted with a new
engine. The crank handle was unus
ually heavy which accounted for the
force of the blow when it slipped off.
II is probable that no operation will
be performed to push the broken bone
back in place.
Stray Bullet Hits Lad.
Fishing near Bley's mill dam in
Madison , where he was visiting , Claren
Reid , the eleven-year-old son of Harry
Reid of Norfolk , was shot through the
right leg by a stray rlflo bullet about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Who
fired the wild shot was not known.
The lad was brought to Norfolk on the
evening passenger and Is suffering
from a high fever.
The lad had been visiting friends
In Madison and with a number of boy
companions was fishing on the side
of the mill dam.
Claren Reid was rolling up his
trousers when he felt a quick stinging
sensation In the right leg. A wild
rlflo bullet , apparently from a thirty-
two caliber rifle , had plowed through
his leg. Though faint and dizzy the
little fellow kept control of himself
until medical aid could be secured.
Dr. Smart , who attended the boy ,
said that the bullet had passed through
the muscle of the leg. The boy spent
the night In a high fever and was de
lirious.
While there was no clue at the time
as to who fired the shot , Marshal
Kennedy of Madison said that there
had been considerable promiscuous
shooting in and about Madison and
that every effort would be made to
find who was responsible for the shot
fired yesterday. Careless shooting , he
said , would be stopped In Madison.
Harry Reid , the boy's father , Is a
bartender In the Ed Grant saloon and
lives at 410 Park avenue.

These were the concluding words of
n last message written to her lover by
Miss Jennie Peters , who soon after
hastily scribbling the words with a
pencil took her own life by hanging
herself from a roof-beam In a barn.

directly due her tragic death. The
girl was handsome and was only sev
enteen years of age. She was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas
Peters , highly respected and pioneer
