Last Thursday about noon E. C. Bevis the well driller, received injuries in a runaway accident, that caused his death at the Sanitarium, where he had been taken for treatment, at three o'clock Monday morning. It was near twelve o'clock, noon, Thursday when Mr. Bevis driving a horse to his wagon approached the interurban station, going south on Elm street. Just at this instant a north bound car came round the curve and despite the efforts of Mr. Bevis the horse took fright and dashed away at a terrific pace. The animal turned west on Park avenue, then north into the alley between Main and Elm streets. At this point the wagon was overturned, Mr. Bevis thrown out alighting with his whole weight on his left foot and the hind wheel of the wagon forcing itself through the siding on the coal house of the J. F. Moore, allowing the maddened animal to break away from the wagon and continue down the alley to near Water street, when it was caught. Attaches of the MONITOR office saw the accident and hurried to the assistance of Mr. Bevis, is was seen at a glance that he was seriously injured as his left ankle was broken, the bone protuding at least five inches through the flesh. Medical assistance was summoned immediately, Dr. Masters being the first to arrive. A cot was procured upon which the injured man was placed and borne by sympathetic friends to his home on Elm street. In response to the wishes of Mr. Bevis, Dr. Shuel was called to take charge of the case, and upon his arrival he found a compound fracture of the ankle and a terrible wound caused by the bone forcing itself through the flesh and the tissues of the leg. The fracture was reduced and everything done to make the patient comfortable. Up to Saturday morning all was well, then indications of gangrene were discovered, later it was found the foot was dead and that terrible Septicaemia or blood poison, had surely developed placing the victim in a critical condition. Sunday is was found that the disease was progressing at an alarming rate and an operation was decided upon in hopes of saving the man's life. About three o'clock Sunday afternoon Mr. Bevis was removed to the sanitarium where Doctors Shuey and Hinklin, with Dr. Dix administering the anaesthetic, amputated the leg above the knee. Then it was seen that the disease had proceeded further, necessitating a second amputation within a few inches of the thigh. The patient rallied nicely from the effects of the operation and some little hope was entertained for his recovery. He was conscious and answered questions asked and seemed to recognize those around him. Within a few hours afterward Mr. Bevis began sinking rapidly and despite every known effort on the part of his physicians to prolong life, died as heretofore stated. The cause of the gangrene is said to have orginated from the bursting of an artery near the injury during the restless periods of Mr. Bevis. This caused the circulation of the blood to cease below the wound, the foot to die and the rapid advancement of the fatal poison. The body was removed early Monday morning to the home on N. Elm street. E. C. Bevis, familiarly known as Clint was one of the best known and esteemed men of Prospect and vicinity.
