    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Evening World, October 3, 1916, p. 1. JAW BONE BROKEN CO. I ACCIDENT Because he had his jaw broken in two places while engaged in a friendly scuffle with private Foltz, Carl Reed, son of Mrs. Mary Reed, west Kirkwood Avenue did not return to Bloomington last event with the other members of Company I. All other members of the organization excepting Peckinpaugh, arrived in a special coach over the Monon at 7:05 o'clock. The accident to Reed was a most serious one. He was taken to the Robert W. Long hospital in Indianapolis where the surgeons wired his jaw together and gave orders that he be fed only liquids through a tube for the next two weeks. He and Foltz were wrestling when the latter struck Reed on the jaw, the blow failing to knock him down or even stagger him. Foltz greatly regretted the accident. Reed is a sophomore in the university. Peckinpaugh, western conference wrestling champion last year, went from Indianapolis to take a position as physical director at the University of Minnesota. The following town boys came home with the company: Corporal Herbert Alexander, Corporal Elmer Wray and Privates Monihon, Robertson, West, Hurst, Easter, Zikes and Hardy. The company is still a national guard unit and is subject to the call of President Wilson at any time.
