Injured and Others Almost Dead
From the Shocks of Accidents.

remarkable one In this city.
Tlie strange chain of disaster began
when the local G. A. R. post burled G,
P. Wells, who was asphyxiated by gas
at a hotel In Chicago last Wednesday
night. While the ceremony was In prog
ress at the cemetery, news reached Gus
Baker that his 13-yearold son bad Just
been drowned while swimming. The
shook prostrated Mr. Baker and he had
to be taken home in a carriage. When
the news was broken to his wife, she
went frantic and became unconscious.
Both are In a precarious condition.
While the funerat procession, was re
turning from the cemetery one of the
carriages ran over Mrs. William Sulli.
van's little twoyear-old daughter, man
gllng her In a horrible manner.
Miss Ola Clark, a witness to the latter
accident, fainted and was carried to the
nearest house, where she lay for four
hours before recovering sufficiently to
be removed to her home.
