Julius Marhenke wns killed Instantly; John Willis lived -IS hours, but never fully regained consciousness, ami Charles Marhenke although seriously injured and for many hours In great pain, will recover. Otto Marhenke, who was in the car when the accident occurred was but slightly Injured and It was through his timely efforts that John Willis was rescued from almost Instant death, and to him his brother, Charles owes his life. Julius Marhenke and his brothers, Charles and Otto, and John Willis, father-in-law of Julius Marhenke, were coming from Kansas City to their homes near Fvireka In an Overland car which Julius Marhenke had purchased and was bringing home. Charles Marhenke, who owns an automobile, accompanied his brother to drive the new car to Eureka.

Julias Marhenke had taken the wheel to drive the car only about five minutes before the terrible accident occurred. In approaching the bridge which spans the little stream known as Cherry creek, about six miles east of Yates Center, It is necessary to round a curve in the road and to come upon the bridge at an angle. The machine was moving at a rate of speed of probably not more than six or eight miles an hour when It struck the east end of the bridge and Mr. Marhenke either was not able to turn the steering wheel quickly enough to direct It Into the right course or else through Inexperience In the excitement of the moment turned the wheel the wrong way, and the car struck the rotten rail of the bridge and plunged down Into the mud and water twenty feet below. All four occupants of the car struck faces downward In the mud and shallow water.

Otto Marhenke wag partially under the car and nearly burled in the soft mud and water, but being but slightly injured he was soon able to extricate himself and Immediately went to the rescue of the other members of the party. He found his brother. Charles and Mr. Willis stunned and lying face downward In the water. He carried them to the edge of the stream and began the search for his brother, Julius, whom he finally found pinned under the car and completely burled In the mud.

The weight of the car was on him and all his tugging and straining failed to move the great machine. Ho worked frantically but In vain and finally climbed the cn-bankment and ran up the road calling wildly for aid. About a quarter of a mile west of the Cherry creek bridge is the farm home of John Elsenbart. The members of the Elsenbart household heard Mr. Marhenke's outcries and ran to meet him.

lie told them of the accident. They sent out a general alarm In the neighborhood, took a team to the scene of the disaster and after twenty or thirty minutes succeeded in dragging the car off Its victim. He was found lying face down In the mud and water, dead. It is believed that ho had been killed Instantly in the 'fall or at least was unconscious and never knew how he came to his death. Mr.

Marhenke's body was taken to Yates Center and John Willis and Charles Marhenke were carried the Elsenbart home where they were given every care and attention. Three doctors from Yates Center and one from lola were called and arrived a few minutes after the accident occurred. Mrs. Elsenbart turned her home Into a hospital and gave her personal attention to the care of the Injured men. There was not a minute from the time that Mr.

Willis was carried In to tho Elsenbart home until he died that a physician was not at hand but human skill and science and the best of care were unavailing and at a. m.
