    J. THOMAS WELLS EX-SERVICE MAN DIES OF INJURIES

    Farmer Severly Hurt Four Weeks Ago Passes Away at Hospital Here

    CAME FROM SHELBY CO.

    DECEASED HAD COME TO THIS CITY TO VISIT WITH SON WHEN HE WAS INJURED IN RUNAWAY.

    John Thomas Wells, firty six years old, for many years in service in the United States regualr arym, died this morning at 3 o'clock at the Bartholomew county hospital of injuries he received in a runaway accident i nthis city four weeks ago today. The body was removed to the Hathaway & Co. undertaking parlors today from where funeral services will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock conducted by Rev. Hobson. Burial in Garland Brok cemetery.

    Mr. Wells came to this county a few years ago from Shelby county and had been employed on the farm of George Nading near St. Louis Crossing. He was very well known in the St. Louis Crossing vicinity and a most highly respected man. Little is known of his former life before he came here other than he served in the regular army and it is said he participated in the Spanish American and world war. he was a kindly gentleman, friendly and an excellent worker.

    Thrown From Wagon
    Four weeks ago today he drove to this city in a one horse wagon, being on his way to the home of his son at Thirteenth street and Lafayette avenue. When almost in sight of the son's home, the horese became frightened and ran away, throwing Mr. Wells out of the wagon. He sustained several broken ribs, a badly injured shoulder, and internal injuries. After the accident he was taken to his son's home where he remained for several days but later, his injuries proving more serious than at first thought, he was taken to the county hospital. His condition did not improve and for several days he had been very low.

    The same horse a few days ago ran away again, galloping down Franklin street, dragging a wagon behind it and in his mad dash the horse enlisted into several machines along the way, one of which a Ford runabout, owned by John Beck, was considerably damaged. The horse at the time had been driven by Thomas Wells, son of the deceased, and had been left standing when it tok fright and ran away.

    Mr. Wells was married early in life but his wife preceded him in death a number of years ago. He leaves the one son and a few distant relatives.
