Several mechanics have been working
on one ot the big new automobiles of C. M
Goodrich of the Goodrich hotel and the
family doctor has been working on Mr.
tioodrlch more or leas since Thursday
afternoon. The trouble arose from a rear
end collision between the auto and a Greek
bakery wagon from Ouiaha. The accident
occurred on Twenty-fourth street and
Hroadway. Mr. Goodrich was approaching
the waxon, which was moving along at a
good clip, and turned h machine to the
left to pans It. At the same moment the
driver of the hoisa puiled oif In the same
. direction to cross to the other side of ih
street, making a collision inevitable. The
contact waa so violent that the iron axle
of the wagon Was snapied. the vehicle
back, again stepping both feet on the man's
upturned face. This was again repeated
before assistants could drag the Injured
man away.
The horse was sharp shod and the calks
of the shoes made frightful wounds. The
rhr-ek hone on the left side was crushed,
the Jaw broken and nearly all of the teeth
knoc ked out. The cheek and upper Hp were
cut through In several places and the bones
of the upper Jaw fractured, the chest in
jured and one shoulder broken.
The Woodiing ambulance was called and
the Injured man was hurried to Mercy hos
pital. He was In an unconscious condition
nearly all day yesterday, and In the fore
part of the day the physicians had no hope
of his recovery, but late In the afternoon
he was resting more quietly. . .
Mr. Fcott Is 89 years old and unmarried.
He has had the lease of the barn fur a
dosen years and was well known and very
popular. His former home was on a farm
near Weston, but his mother and several
family relatives reside here.
County Auditor Hannan returned to town
vestenla..' tvfary nnd foot sore after a long
trip along the shoies of the Nishnabotna
rler from Oakland to Carson, lie aoeom-
panied the Hoard of County Supervuwira
on their Journey along the streams to meet
and confer wiih the fanners for the pur
Ihisc of ascertaining their real sentiments
in relation to the proposed establishment
of ti'O IKio.OiiO drainaS". ditch project de
signed to straighten the tortuous channel
of the Xishna from Oakland to the Mills
county line.
A map of the lream would make a good
sketch of a worm in frightful convulsions.
In threading Its course through the rich
farm lands Its convolutions go through
every form of convulsions except a full
loop, the letters "s." "g" and "u" brln? the
plan most generally followed. Following the
course of the stream the distance from
Oakland to Curson ts fourteen miles and
only six In a straight line. This fact was
a powerful argument in Impressing the
members of the board with the practical
desirability of straightening the channel.
The members had to walk the entire dis
tance and when the additional detours to
outlying quarter sections were counted It
made the total distance tramped more than
twenty miles. It was easy for some of the
faVmer members of the Itoard. but for
Auditor Hannan and Member Children of
Council Bluffs, who get most of their ex
ercise by swinging on a revolving office
chair, it was a teat equal to a great mili
tary achievement.
Auditor Hannan left the party at Carson
and came home to put In force a plan that
was devised In the field. He sent out
postal cards to every land owner who will
be affected by the proposed ditch, asking
him to vote yet. or no on the proposition to
establish the di'cli. This was found to be
disirable on account of the difficulty of
meeting all of the Interested parties. These
cards will be canvassed at the meeting of
the board next Tuesday and if all reply the
question of establishing the ditoh will be
solved. The board members expected to
continue the Journey down one side of the
stream and back on the other, making a
distance of more than forty miles, a for
midable tramp even for the most hardy.
When Children returns he expects to spend
some comfortable hours in a Turkish bath
