MISFORTUNES MANY
FOR STACY ZELL TODAY
----------
Is Victim of Horrible Accident
and Hears of Sister's Death
Immediately
Afterward.
----------
Stacy E. Zell,
the
carpenter and contractor, of 618 south Tompkins street, was very seriously
injured this morning about 8:00 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Thomas D.
Wilson on west Broadway where Mr. Zell is assisting in the building of
a new garage. His sleeve became caught in a cement mixing machine that was
being operated there and before the machine could be stopped Mr. Zell's arm was
drawn into the machinery. His right arm from the shoulder to the wrist was
badly torn and lacerated. Mr. Zell was hurried to the office of a
physician, [paper is torn - probably six words]. He suffered greatly as
the physician was unable to give him an anesthetic. The arm has several
deep cuts and the glesh was torn almost off. His head was also severely
cut as his brother, Pearlie Zell, who was with him had been unable to
stop the engine before the machinery had drawn Mr. Zell's body down.
On arriving at his home
after having the wounds dressed the gentlemen were met by the postman bringing a
letter announcing the death of their sister, Mrs. Lena Banks. Her
home is now at Seattle, Washington. She left Shelby county four years
ago. The cause was not told. She is survived by her husband, Thomas
Banks, her son, Earl, her father, Thomas Zell and a
sister, Mrs. Emma Harding all of Seattle, as well as her two
brothers here.
The sympathy of the
entire city is extended to Mr. Zell, who has been doubly unfortunate.

Stacy Zell, of this city, who had his Ford
car stolen Thursday night from in front of the residence of A. E. Lisher, in north Tompkins street,
recovered the machine Friday evening. It had been found on the street in Indianapolis Friday morning and
was held at police headquarters by Indianapolis officers. No trace of the thieves was found, as they had
abandoned the car.
When taken the machine had one flat tire. The
car had been run until the rim had been worn off and until the spokes were on the ground.

MCNAMARA - ZELL
----------
One of the prettiest home
weddings of the season was the marriage of Mr. Ira McNamara
and Miss Lena Zell, which occurred last Sunday at noon at the
home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah McNamara,
of Moral township.
The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. W. L. Martin in the presence of the
immediate relatives.
Miss Ethel McNamara,
a niece of the groom, rendered the wedding march in a pleasing manner. The
bride looked charming in a costume of white Danish cloth. She carried a
bouquet of carnations. The groom is a prominent and highly respected young
man of that community.
After they had received
the congratulations of those present, an elegant five-course dinner was
served. Immediately after dinner they left for the bride's home near
Indianapolis, where a wedding supper awaited them. They received many
useful and pretty presents.
The Democrat joins with
their many friends in wishing them a long and happy married life.
