INJURIES MAY BE FATAL
AGED WOMAN STRUCK BY AN AUTOMOBILE
WAS DRAGGED MORE THAN THIRTY FEET

Mrs. E. Tucker, While on Her Way to Church, Suffers Serious Accident.
Lincoln Miller Driver of Machine is Arrested and Held to Grand Jury

While Mrs. E. Tucker, in company with her daughter, Mrs. Jordin, was
crossing south Central avenue at the St. Paul's Methodist church corner on
their way to church last Sunday evening, Mrs. Tucker was struck by a passing
autombile and received injuries which may prove to be fatal. She was knocked
between thirty and forty feet by the car which ran over her and then went on
its way without stopping to see how badly she was hurt. There were a number
of eye witnesses to the accident, two of whom picked her up and carried her
to the side of the street. As soon as possible she was removed to the Clinic
for examination where she still remains in an unconscious condition, being
so badly injured it has not been thought best to attempt to take her to a
hospital. Owing to her condition it has not been possible to make X-ray or
other examinations to find out what bones may be broken or how extensive her
injuries are.

No report of the accident was made to the police by those responsible for
it, but Monday afternoon Link Miller, who was driving the car, was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Schessler and arraigned before Justice Freeman, waived
examination and was bound over to the grand jury which meets in September.
His bond of $1500 was signed by John Duster. The three young men who were in
the car with him were not arrested as the legal responsibility for such an
accident runs only against the operator of the car. The penalty for failing
to report an accident of this kind and give aid to anyone injured is not
less than $500 fine and not more than two years in the penitentiary.

Mrs. Tucker was still in a critical condition last evening. Should she not
recover a more serious charge will be lodged against the young man.

Bystanders say the car was being driven at twenty to twenty five miles an
hour when the accident occurred, but had shortly before been driven up the
street at a much faster speed.

CONDITION HIGHLY CRITICAL
Aged Lady Struck by Automobile Has Chance to Recover

Mrs. E. Tucker, who was knocked down, dragged several feet and severely
injured on Sunday night, when struck by a car driven by Lincoln Miller, was
reported a little bit better yesterday. After the accident she was removed
to the Clinic where she remained in an unconscious state for forty-eight
hours.

On Wednesday her condition was somewhat better and permitted of an X-ray
examination being taken. It was found that seven ribs and her collarbone
were fractured and the little finger of her right hand broken. She was able
to be removed to a hospital on Wednesday evening and the doctors hold out
some hopes for her recovery although her condition is dangerous, her age and
the nervous shock to her system enhancing the seriousness of her condition.

Mrs. Tucker is conscious only part of the time but was able to recognize
relatives.

In the car with Miller, at the time of the accident were three youths.
Miller is held under bonds pending the result of the accident.

BURLARIZE STORE AT SENEY
Hoboes Make A Small Haul of Clothing and Tobacco

The general store conducted at Seney by A. McArthur was burglarized
sometime on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.  The thieves
gained admittance by prying open a side door to the establishment.  A
quantity of overalls, clothing, groceries and tobacco were taken.  In
the postoffice which is located in the store, nothing was touched that
could be noticed.

Two hoboes were in Seney on Wednesday afternoon, and made themselves
obnoxious, demanding money and something to eat, and were driven away
from the store by Mr. McArthur.

It is thought the tramps revenged themselves by breaking into the store
and fitted themselves out with what they needed in the way of clothes,
edibles and tobacco.

Sheriff Maxwell was called up to Seney after the robbery was discovered
to seek any clue that could be gained.

The Merry Go Round club met in postponed session on Wednesday afternoon
with Mrs. S. Kale as hostess.

Thos. Swain was down from Centerville, S.D., on Tuesday on business.  He
recently located there and reports business is good and a fine opening
for the sale of products manufactured by the firm he represents.  He
states he is well pleased with the location.
