Uniondale - A serious accident took place Wednesday near Feldman & Co's store, by which two women were badly injured. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walker, of Herrick township, and Mrs. Emeline Lyon, of Elkdale, were just entering the sleigh when the horses became frightened and dashed suddenly ahead. The runner of the sleigh struck a stone, overturning the sleigh and throwing the ladies directly underneath the horses' hoofs. Both were badly kicked and trampled upon before they were rescued from their perilous position by several men who witnessed the accident. Mrs. Walker was struck on the temple and under the eye. Mrs. Lyon was kicked about the head and body and at last accounts was still unconscious. The former lady was removed to her home and Mrs. Lyon was conveyed to the home of her son at Elkdale. It is feared that both are of a very serious nature and as yet the probable outcome can not be surely predicted. The escape from instant death was perilously close.

Hallstead - David Luscom, of Great Bend, was instantly killed and Edward Day, of Hallstead, seriously injured by a landslide in Mr. Day's stone quarry, about one and a half miles west of Hallstead, Thursday afternoon of last week. Mr. Day and Mr. Luscom were engaged in uncovering a bed of stone when a huge mass of rock and earth came tumbling down upon them, burying both men. Day fell beneath Luscom and they were completely covered with the debris when the other workmen came to their rescue. Mr. Day suffered a compound fracture of the leg, besides severe bruises and internal injuries. His condition is still serious and he owes his life in all probability to the chance in falling by which Luscom's body shielded his own. The remains of the deceased were taken to Tuttle's undertaking establishment.
