AUTO FATALITY
JOHN ADAMSON OF CHESTER DIES FOLLOWING AMPUTATION OF HIS ARM
A sad death occurred Wednesday when John Adamson, aged 46 years, residing a mile east of Chester, died following an operation for the removal of his arm, as the result of an automobile accident the day before.
On Tuesday night, about 6 o'clock, Ralph Gregory was going south and John Adamson was traveling east, 5 miles south of Deshler. Neither one saw the other, until the cars ran together. Mr. Adamson lost control of his car and ran into a wire fence, cutting the muscles and blood supply of the underside of his left arm.
In the car with Mr. Adamson at the time were his wife and the two younger children.
Gas gangrene developed rapidly in Mr. Adamson's arm, and on Wednesday morning the arm was amputated. Mr. Adamson lived but a short time after the operation.
Mr. Adamson was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Faithful Adamson of Chester and leaves to mourn his untimely end, his wife and six children, besides hosts of friends.

DEATH FOLLOWS AUTO ACCIDENT
Adamson Unable Stand Shock Having Arm Amputated.
(Special to The Star).
CHESTER, Neb., Aug. 8 - Unable to withstand the loss of blood, following an auto accident, and before he could receive medical attention Monday, the shock of amputating his left arm at a Hebron hospital Wednesday was too much for John Adamson, farmer of near Chester, and he died at the hospital late Wednesday.
Driving with Mrs. Adamson Monday he collided with a ear driven by Ralph Gregory, also of Chester, at an intersection obscured by corn fields northwest of here, and in an attempt to minimize the force of the collision, Adamson turned his car down the roadside and scraped along a barbed wire fence. His left arm was caught outside the car and badly lacerated by the top strand of the barbed wire, and blood poison set in.
Adamson leaves a widow and six children, four daughters and a son being at home, and the eldest daughter in Colorado. He was 45 years old. He lived about one and one-half miles east of Chester, being well known over this vicinity.

CHESTER FARMER IS KILLED
Collision Nortwest (sic) of Chester Proves Fatal to John Adamson
John Adamson, 45, prominent farmer adjoining Chester, died at the Hebron hospital late Wednesday afternoon last week, as the result of a collision with R.E. Gregory of Chester. The crash threw Mr. Adamson into a barbed wire fence, deeply cutting an arm and inflicting many gashes in his face and body.
Gangrene set in immediately, and amputation of the arm was attempted, but he died while under the anesthetic. No other occupant of either car was injured, although the Gregory car was demolished. Tall corn and weeds at an intersection three miles north and five miles west of Chester caused the collision.
The body of Mr. Adamson was returned to Chester Thursday for burial two days later.
