(Continued from front page) Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur and two £^ns of Detroit, Mich., were at the John Myers home, Richmond, from Sunday until Tuesday while their automobile was being repaired. They were in an accident early Saturday evening on Highway 12, three miles , south of Richmond. In turning out to pass a motorist, the Wilbur car hit a bank of snow causing it to crash into a culvert. Mrs. Wilbur, who was driving, received a slight shoulder injury. While advancing oh a rabbit which he and a companion Were hunting near Antioch late last week Monday, James P. Keegan, 55, of Pikeville stumbled and fell.to the ground. In the fall his gun was accidentally discharged and the shot struck him in the right leg. Lester Lasco, living at the Clarence Crowley farm at Antioch, was just two steps behind Keegan when he fell. He immediately picked up Keegan and tried to stop the flow of blood. A physician from Antioch was called. On the arrival of the doctor, Keegan was dead. At an inquest conducted by Coroner John L. Taylor at the Strang undertaking parlor at Antioch, Keegan's death was held accidental. It was revealed at the inqueat that Keegan had been living alone in an old schoolhouse about two miles northeast of Antioch. He had been living in the vicinity of Pikeville during the past eight years. Three well known Round Lake residents and a nurse whose home is at Racine, Wis., were injured late Sunday evening of last week, when vthe automobile in which they were riding crashed into a freight train on the Soo line at the Wads worth road crossing. Miss Sarah McEmeel, 25, a nurse at St. Mary'3 hospital at Racine, is in a critical condition at the St. Therese hospital, Waukegan. She suffered a skull fracture and still re'mains^in an unconscious state. Little hope is heW out for her recovery. Other members of the party were Bernard Vogt, 29 years of age; his sister, Miss Mary Vogt, 23, and Ed Doherty, 50, all residing near Round Lake. All three suffered lacerations and bruises and were rushed to the Waukegan hospital after the crash. They have returned to their homes, however, in an improved condition. Joseph Juknovicz, 63 years of age, a farm hand employed by Frank Martines at Hainesville, was instantly killed to 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning of last week, when a wagon on which he was riding was struck by a northbound Chieago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railway train. The crossing is a private one, used only by the workmen on the farm, and Juknovicz was hauling silage from one barn to another, and was driving a team of horses. Another farm hand, who was walking behind the wagon, saw the approaching train and shouted a warning which the driver, probably because of the noise of the wagon, did nl>t hear. The horses were pulling hard to take the wagon up the steep incline to the track; and demanded a good deal of the driver's attention. At any rate, he did not see the train until he was .on the track, and then, of course, it was too late. Both horses were killed, and Juknovic2' body was thrown onto the locomotive.
