Lockjaw Causes Death
The motorcycle claimed a victim near Ora Sunday evening, when Albert Kinzie
died as a result of injuries suffered while riding a machine. Several days
ago Kinzie was riding a cycle behind Frank Kistler, also of Ora. A few miles
south of Knox they were humming along at a merry clip and when passing a
team they turned out into a rough piece of road. The bumping of the machine
caused Kinzie to lose his balance, and as he fell his right foot was caught
by the spokes of the rear wheel. The heel was frightfully torn, giving
intense pain, and seventeen stitches were required to close the wound. The
injuredman was removed to Ora, and the indications were that he would
recover after several weeks. But lockjaw set in the latter part of last
week, the end soon came. The young man was eighteen years of age, and is
spoken of as an exemplary fellow. He home was near Hoover, in Cass County,
though he has been working in Ora for the Arnold Motorcycle agency. The
remains were taken to the family home in Cass County, and the funeral was
held Tuesday from Corinth Church near Twelvemile.

Verne, the ten month old child of Ben Herrick and wife, died last Thursday

services at the Pulaski Presbyterian Church by Rev. A.S. Warriner, followed
by interment in the Pulaski Cemetery.
