I HE DEMOCRAT. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. COAD MCDONALD'S DEATH RESULTS FROM INJURIES RE CEIVED BY HIS COAT CATCHING ON SET-SCREW OP A LINE SHAFT IN FLOURING MILL OWNED BY HIS FATHER. GEORGE A. McDonald. Our little town was in great excitement last Saturday afternoon at S;30 o’clock, when it was learned that Goad McDonald, son of George A. McDonald, owner of the Brown Gounty Roller Mills, had met with a most distressing and probably fatal accident Goad, for some time, has been acting as engineer at the mill, and right well he performed his duties As was his usual custom, at the hour of S p. nr., he picked up the nil can and proceeded to oil the machinery. He wore a heavy hunting ■coat and while in a stooping position and in the act -of oiling a bearing of the line shaf t, a set screw which had slightly worked up and out of position, caught on the lower part of his coat. In an instant he discovered his perilous situation, But, too late;! To escape being drawn to the shaft was impossible. Realizing that his life was in danger he hugged the shaft to keep his head from striking the floor. With the rapidity of lightning he was whirled on the shaft, his feet battering the joists at every revolution. He cried for help and his cries were heard by a Mr. Haggard who was passing along the street. He hurried to the mill and before ho reached it Clyde,, a brother of Goad, heard his broth er’s feet striking the joists and he thought the noise was made by a broken belt. Clyde then hurried to the engine room and shut off steam,; then saw bis unfortunate brother in a horrifying position whirling on the line shaft, bound tight to the shaft with his hunting coat.

Once ‘here was a boy named John—we think his name was Wanamaker. Anyhow, his name was John with some sort of a maker attached to his last name; He owned 500 yards of calico, three bolts of jeans and a half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goods store through a Philadelphia paper, and offered to sell a pair of socks for 37 cents. The don’t believe-in ad vertising-merehauts laughed. Young John spent $85 with the Philadelphia Ledger to advertise just one time, and had less than $100 worth of goods. He was cautioned by those who knew it didn’t pay. It was through sympathy that they offered him ndvice But John didn’t listen to them, and went and blew his money foolishly, and to day poor John sees his misdoings—he has so many dry goods stores he can hardly find time to study his Sunday school lesson.

HARVEY HINKLE, Charged With the Murder of John R. McClintock, in Bloomington, Indiana, August 8th, 1907, CAPTURED AT POPLAR BLUFF. IN MISSOURI. A Bloomington, Indiana, special dated December 2, says: “Harvey Hinkle, 21 years old, of this city, who is charged with the murder of John R. McClintock, 2B years old, and the wounding of Miss Edna Rogers, 17 years old, on the night of August 8, has been captured and is under arrest at Poplar Bluff, Missouri, a city about 75 miles south west of Cairo, Illinois. Sheriff Jos Ratliff of this county, who has never ceased working in his efforts to find Hinkle, received a letter this evening from Calvin Eaton, the marshal at Poplar Bluff, saying that he held Hinkle prisoner. Sheriff Ratliff sent a telegram asking that Hinkle be held. Sheriff Ratliff has arranged to leave at once for Poplar Bluff to bring back the prisoner. The grand jury indicted Hinkle for murder in the first degree and he will probably be tried at the Jan term of court. Sheriff Ratliff has been tracing Hinkle through correspondence with members of the Sher iffs'Association. Last week he received a letter stating that Hinkle was in Missouri traveling towards Arkansas. The reward of $200 offered for his capture has caused officers in all parts of the country to keep a close watch for him and a circular containing his picture and a description has been sent to the sheriffs and police of many cities. PI inkle is supposed to have killed McClintock and wounded Miss Rogers over jealousy. He w.as a former sweetheart of Miss Rogers and after she refused to receive his attentions he told her he would kill any one else who attempted to go with her. On the night of the shooting Miss Rogers was aceompan ied to the theater, by McClintock. MJan, hVoge s/sys she sa tv Vfis&Ie as he entered Hid playhouse. At the close of the performance at 11 p. in. Miss Rogers and her escort went to her home on Twelfth street, and just as they were approaching the veranda a black form rose up before them close to the house. Without saying a word the man began to fire, the first bullet passing through McClintock's heart, killing him in stantly; the second pierced the shoulder of Miss Rogers and was extracted the next day. After several weeks she recovered.

“ Are you hurt.” asked-GIv/le . ' hJ Tjfaj& »t iffy foot .!” answered Goad. The foot was lying on the floor in a shapeless mass “ I am afraid you are fatally hurt,” said Clyde, “I know it,” said Goad. “Tell Billie (Griper) how it happened and take good care of my dogs ” By this time many people had gathered at the mill His hunting coat was cut loose from the shaft and he was carried borne where Drs. J. F. Genolin and Ray Tilton examined his injuries. They found that they would have great trouble in saving his life. His right foot was mashed to a pulp and amputation was fouud necessary. The operation was performed at 7 p. m. by Drs Genolin and Tilton, assisted by Dr. Ward of Georgetown His left foot was also mashed in a horrible man sier, his left shoulder and arm badly bruised and he received internal injuries

Any person can turn the back yard into a profitable source of income and pleasure. Practical money-making Cold Frames and Hot Beds yield bountiful returns every month in tbo year, it is a simple matter to grow fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers all winter in cold frames without heat, and a source of pleasure and profit to have them for yourself, neighbors, the grocer and florist.

J., has published plans so simple that any one can get started in this money-making business right away and make a big lot of money at little or no expense. They will send any person writing them at the above address enclosing thirty two cent stamps the complete instructions with sufficient seeds to commence with. It is a pleasant occupation for both men and women. Better write them today, enclosing this notice.

“KISH THE BELL SOFTLY” (What a touching suggestive title ! How H brings up thoughts of bereavement; a brother—a friend has been summoned from'hls labor to long desired , needed rest. ' 1 one,,the blor. s gone sweetly to its last slumbers with a smile upon its angel face. There is stillness in t he halls; words are whispered; the foot falls lightly. There is silence there, and a feeling in every heart says—“don’t disturb it.” Walk gently and quietly to the door and—ring the bell softly.) Some one has gone from this strange world of ours. No more to gather its thorns with its flowers; No longer to linger where sunbeams must fade, Where, on all beauty, death’s fingers are laid; Weary with mingling life’s bitter and sweet. Weary with parting and never to meet, Some one has gone to the bright golden shore— Bing the bell softly, there’s crape on the door! Ring the bell softly, there’s crape on the door! Some one is resting from sorrow and sin, Happy where earth’s conflicts enter notin; Joyous as birds when the morning is bright— When the sweet sunbeams have bro’t us their light; Weary with sowing and never to reap, Weary with labor and welcoming sleep Some one’s departed for Heaven’s bright shore, Ring the bell softly, there’s crape on the door! Ring the bell softly, there’s crape on the door! Angels are anxiously longing to meet One who walks with them in Heaven’s bright street; Loved ones have whispered that some one is blest, Free from earth’s trials, and taking sweet rest; Yes! there is one more in angelic bliss— One less to cherish, and one less to kiss! One more departed to Heaven’s bright shore, Ring the bell softly, there’s crape on the door! Ring the bell softly, crape on the door!

Harvey Hinkle, who lived at the end of the same street, was accused of the crime by the girl. The police department, with the aid of the city bloodhounds, traced him to the tracks of the Indianapolis Southern, a mile north of town, when the scent was lost The police called at the Hinkle home and inquired if he was there. Mrs Hinkle, who went to the door, said he was in bed, but when she entered the room she found that the bed had been unoccu pied, and although a search was made by the Hinkle family in every cave and pond around the city, not a trace of Harvey was ever found. Hinkle and McClintock were not even acquainted with each other. Hinkle told his mother about a week before the tragedy that he could not live without Edna lingers and that he intended to kill her. Mrs. Hinkle then called Miss Rogers up by telephone and warned her of her son’s intentions.
