T. O. MILLER
T. O. Miller met with a severe accident Thursday evening by getting the forefinger of his right hand caught between the tongue and hounds of his wagon, mashing the flesh almost completely off from the bone. Dr. Gamble dressed the injured finger with such skill and care that it is doing nicely. (Farmers Champion, Elgin, Okla., November 14, 1912, page 5 - Submitted by Peggy Thompson)
E. W. GOLDEN
E. W. Golden, a farmer living near the Cannon school house, came very near having a serious accident, just east of Mistletoe, last Tuesday, when his team became frightened at an automobile and bolted. He was thrown from the wagon and received a severe shaking up; but was not badly hurt. The occupants of the car were hunters, of the trespasser type – judging from their conduct. Anyway they were not gentlemen, for they made no effort whatever to give any part of the road, and did not even look back to see the result of their folly. What we think of such barbarians would not look well in the Champion. Therefore we refrain from expressing our opinion of these pusillanimous, pugnacious canaille inclined two-footed beasts, who parade our public highways as if they owned the whole earth.

Mrs. Irvin Tittle of Skiatook was all but fatally burned at her home in that town, where her gown caught fire from a gas stove.

Master Woodrow Wilson Soule, the seven months old member of the Champion's editorial family, has been seriously ill for the past few days, caused from a severe cold dangerously bordering on pneumonia. But the timely skill of Dr. Gamble has checked the high fever and greatly alleviated the suffering of the little fellow. His present pinched, distressed appearance is sorrowfully in contrast with his former hearty, plump, rosy, cheerful condition. His normal deportment was of such a sunny, bright cheerful nature that we had nicknamed him "Sunshine". Master Woodrow has the honor of being the first baby born in Oklahoma that is named after that great progressive statesman and commoner who will be inaugurated President of the United States on the 4th day of March.

John Clark Fain, son of former County Attorney John A. Fain, is dangerously sick with pneumonia. This sorrowful news will send a thrill of pain to the heart of every man, woman and child that know him best. This unusually bright, intelligent boy was one of the best Pages in Congress during its last session. It was here that we first met this noble little fellow, and soon realized why it was that he was loved and petted by every member in that august body. God grant that he may speedily recover.
