A man, wife and two children,! who claimed to have been burned 1 out at East St. Louis and were driving overland to Cleveland, Ohio, 1 were in Rensselaer Sunday begging for money to aid them', claiming that the man had asthma and could not work. Sunday night they camped near the Bell Center school house, and, according to their story, the horse they were driving stepped into a hole left by the telephone linemen and broke its shoulder. They demanded settlement in the sum of S3O from Mr. Bott owner of the exchange, but the latter carries' insurance against loss of this kind and referred the matter to the insurance company. Later the man camo in and said the horse had been sold to the reduction plant and he would settle for sl2, which has also been referred to the insurance company. The people bear every.:indication of being professional wanderers, and it is indeed a travesty of national existence when able-bodied men can rove the country asking for alms when the nation is in dire need of laborers of all kinds'. The matter will no doubt be settled satisfactorily.

yard. A plhyisician was hurriedly called by Mrs. Cornwell, who then sought to stop the rapid (low of blood, which covered the young lady’s clothing as w’fell as over a portion of the auto and a large pool on the lawn. Dr. Washburn arrived about this time and Miss Britt was placed on a cot and taken to the hospital. She was yet conscious but was vividly affected by the great loss of blood. The bleeding was quickly stopped after reaching the hospital. The Carotid artery had been severed and it was necessary to clamp this in order to stop the flow of blood. Miss Britt’s condition is as well .as could be expected, considering the seriousness of her injuries, and her ultimate recovery is hopeful. She had a very bad night. Thursday night, being restless and in considerable pain, but yesterday noon was reported to be resting much easier. Mr. Hopkins suffered sprains in his back s and limbs but is able to be about. Mr. Britt was also bruised and sprained about the chest and one knee, and the latter is causing considerable trouble and pain. Both autos were damaged to a considerable extent and both quite similarly. The left front wheel, the left fender, left lights, radiator, wind shield and steering gear on both cars were ruined, and both cars must have been traveling quite rapidly if the damage done is any criterion.
