Former Monticello Mayor and Wolcott Teacher Arrive Home.

Monticello Herald: T. W. O’Connor, who has been on a trip through the west, and who wts injured in an automobile accident while in San Francisco, returned to his home here Sunday. Mr. O’Connor, in telling of the accident, said that he and Earl Burget, who was also injured, were in an automobile belonging to the Argonant hotel at which they were stopping, and were struck by a big taxi cab. This machine was turned over and only the driver escaped without being injured. Mr. O’Connor does not know how he lost the end of his thumb, but the nail from his finger was found in the tool box. He also had three ribs broken. He still wears all these injured members bandaged. Mr. Burget received internal injuries and was not expected to live, but responded to treatment very rapidly and was out of the hospital three days before Mr. O’Connor, who was there ten days. Mr. O’Connor is still stiff and sore from the accident but feels fine every other way. Mr. Burget was as good as new by the time they had reached Yellowstone Park. .

Mr. and Mrs. Lep Weil, of New Orleans, who have been visiting her mother, Mrs. Nathan Fendig, for the past two weeks, left this morning for Cleveland, Ohio, for a visit of two or three weeks. Her brother, B. N. Fendig, accompanied them as far as Chicago.
