A. J. Bellows Received Bruises When Hit By Auto.

At about 3 o’clock Monday afternoon A. J. Bellows was struck and mocked down by an automobile driven by Henry Wortley, of Newton township. The accident occurred at the Presbyterian church corner. Mr. [Bellows was rendered unconscious and at first grave fears were entertained for him, but it later developed that his injuries were not serious, amounting to shock and bruises from which he will doubtless recover in a short time. Just as the accident occurred The Semi-Weekly Republican was going to press and an account in that paper was written, from the first impressions fallowing the accident, which were very unfavorable. His many friends will be glad to learn that he suffered no broken bones and that his injuries are not serious. Just how the accident occurred we are unable to learn, but Mr. Wortley made every effort possible to avoid striking Mr. Bellows and it was simply one of those unavoidable accidents that come so unexpectedly that one hardly knows how they happen.
