Mr. WATKINS, a renter of B. H. STONE, had his horse tied in a lot Monday evening last. That night, by some unaccountable cause, he was awaken from a deep sleep about midnight, when he got up and went outside. On going out his dog ran round the house in the direction of the lot, barking and growling as though he saw some one. On going to the lot, he saw a man with no hat on in the act of leading his horse from the lot. He hollered to the man, “hold there, that is my horse you about to get away with; whereupon, he let go the horse and made for the brush.

Rev. A. C. WATKINS, Accident Victim
Facing the world cheerfully after a terrifying experience of exposure, Rev. C. A. WATKINS, aged preacher, today lies in the hospital, suffering from a broken right arm, a crushed shoulder, and a badly injured hip. From 4 a.m. Friday until 8:00 yesterday morning, the battered man lay in a creekbed under a trestle two miles north of Ada, unable to attract attention of those passing overhead. Mr. Watkins, a Christian preacher, left Konawa afoot unable to pay the fare to his home in Ada. To avoid the mud he followed the railroad bed. Slipping under the trestle, he fell some distance, striking a stump with his right arm and shoulder, and suffering the injuries which disabled him. With nothing to eat or drink, tortured by the threat of a thirst, aggravated by a broiling sun throughout yesterday, the aged minister lay for hours, incapable of dragging himself to a place where he could be seen. … Early yesterday morning he struggled inch by inch from under the trestle, dragging himself with one good arm until he was in view of the track. About 8:00 yesterday morning some linemen came along and heard his call. They hastened to his relief and called an ambulance which hurried him to the Ada hospital…. Rev. WATKINS lived for years in Wayland, Michigan, moving from there to Okeene for two years, preaching service. He has recently been preaching at Roff, and had gone to Konawa to see about holding a revival there.
