HIS CAR WHEELS
KILL MOTOR.Y1AN
Jessie Bishop Thrown Under Ve
hicle When It Strikes Open
Switch. Both Legs Are Cut
Off. Man Dies Within a Few
Hours, Unable to Stand
Shock of Operation.
The following is a clipping from
the St.Louis Post-Dispatch, of j
Tuesday, Oct., 23rd, relating to j
the sad accident of Mr. Jessie:
Bishop, which we publish by re
quest of the deceased man’s sister,
Mrs. Geo. T. Hay, of near DeView.
An open switch, which a preced
ing street-car crew had neglected
to close, cost the life of Jesse Bis
hop, 2047 Geyer avenue, a motor
man on the Jefferson avenue line.
Bishop was thrown beueath his
own car by the violent lurch as
the car struck the switch and the
hind trucks passed over both legs
above the ankles. The accident
occured at Grand avenue and Palm
street, at 9 o’clock Monday night,
Bishop died five hours later in the
sanitarium of Dr. Oliver O Bar,
near the scene of the accident..
A wreck at the sand-house on
Natural Bridge road caused the
cars to be detoured from their usu
al route and they avoided the ob
struction by running from Grand
avenue to Spring avenue over Nat
ural Bridge road. At Grand ave.
and Palm st. there is a switch on
which are stored sand and coke
supplies for the cherokee and 18th
streets and Jefferson ave. cars.
Bishop was seated on his stool
when the car running at fairly
high speed, struck the surface
switch, it swayed sharply and Bis
hop was thrown out of the front
entrance. He rolled under the
car and the wheels passed over
both legs. One leg was cut off be
low the knees, while the other was
split above the ankle.
Conductor Lambert and 3 doc
tors carried the injured man into
the sanitarum and Bishop’s wife,
a bride of two months, was sum
moned .
Owing to the severe nervous
j shock Bishop was unable to stand
' an operation and he failed to re
spond to artificial stimulents.
Bishop was 31 years old and his
I relatives reside in DeView, Ark.
i His wife, who survives with one
: son by a previous marriage, was
Miss Nellie McConnell.

By Our Regular Correspondent,
Mr. Jake Bishop returned from
St. Louis, Sunday.
Miss Alice Barrentine, and sis
ter, of Bay, are visiting relatives:
in our midst.
Mrs. Jesse Bishop, of St. Louis,
arrived Sunday, to spend a few
days visiting relatives.
Mrs. S. 0. Bishop, and daughter
in-law, left Tuesday for Hunter,
where they will be the guest of
relatives.
After a week’s visit to his daugh
ter, Mrs. C. L. Jackson, Mr. Ward,

his home at Water Valley, Miss.
Mr. Will Donnell, of Judsonia, |
moved near DeView, last week.'
He and his brother, George, are
buildiDg some houses for Mr. J. L. 1
Stair.
Several children in our midst
have the whooping cough. One or
two deaths are reported from same
The following is a good remedy.
Make a tea of chestnut leaves and
give the children all they will drink
It will not hurt them in any way.
The farmers are “kicking” about
the low price they receive for cot
ton aud the high price they have
to pay for meat. If they would
raise less cotton aud more corn and
hogs, they could live better and
get a better price for their cotton.
Messrs. Bob and Hal Freeman
made a flying trip to Augusta,
Saturday evening. They left De
View at 2 :30 and returned at 8 :00.
It is reported that one of the boys,
upon their arrival at the county seat,
went forth-wilh aud immediately
to the courthouse and inquired for
the clerk. Just which clerk he
was looking for, we can’t say.

NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material aud
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as mv
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share!
the benefit of doing business on a'
cash basis. Thanking you lor
your past fuvors, I am,
Tours Truly,
Tom Bukkett.
