Sl5 at a previous meeting. came up
for discussion.
Mr.. Gorder gave a technical ex-
planation why the leakage occur

the attendant at the engine dur
ing the firing up. He refused to
make good these repairs unless the
engine was brought to his shops.

of the matter, said he secured the
services of F. Winters to make the
necessary repairs. The engine had
worked satisfactorily ever since,
and the bill was only $40.
Aid. Davenport thought some
allowance should be made for what
work was done.

justice done, but as bill for the
same repairs had been already
allowed, he did not consider the
city responsible for any more.

BUT LITTLE HOPE
CYRUS DIX, OF NEAR CLEAR
WATER HAS LEGS BROMEN,
Thrown From a Buggy Onto a Eedg e
Fence Sunday Morning.

Cypsus Dix, one Of the oldest and most
highly respected citizens of this county,
who resides five miles northeast of Clear
water, was thrown from a spring wagon
Sunday morning and sustained serious in
juries, which, owing TO his age, may
cause his death. He is 65 years old and
when the accident occurred he was driv-
ing along the country road going to his
sons home. The horse which he was
driving became frightened and ran away.
The shaft broke and turned the wagon
over and Mr.. Dix was precipitated onto
a hedge fence which had been trimmed
preparatory to having a gate putt in.
Both legs were broken above the knee.
The flesh on the left limb in the calf was
frightfully torn. exposing the bone almost
from the knee to the ankle. The liga-
ments were also torn. DR.. Cave of this
city was sent for and went down and set
the broken bones and dressed the other
injuries. DR.. Cave says the left leg will
have to be amputated to save his life
His condition is such that the doctor
gives but little encourag cement for his re-
covery. His advanced years are against
him and he is so feeble that he could
hardly undergo a surgical operation.

REV, HURT is DEAD
Former WiChitan Passes Away
in the Strip.
WAS ONCE A LEGISLATOR
Elected by the Old Farmers
Alliance Movement.

Word reached Wichita that Rev. r. W.
Hurt, formerly of this city. died at his
home near CARRIER, in the Cherokee Strip,
last Wednesday.
and was the first representative to the
legislature elected from this county by
the Farmers Alliance, together with Mr..
Ruble.
Mr. Hurt, when he was elected to the
legislature it was thought would become
one of the leaders of the Alliance house,
as he had remarkable oratorica1 ability.
But it is said \that he made, only ore
speech in the legislature, one against In
gals. After that he spoke no more, and
as he was a man of intensely religious
temperament, 1t is believed that he was
soon dspleased with the way legislative
matters are conducted. At all events, he
did not aspire to the legislature again.
When The Strip opened he went into the
race and secured a claim. The CARRIER
Sentinel has a touching obituary devoted
to him in its last issue and also the
following biographical sketch: Rev. r.
w Hart was born in Wayne county, Ken
lucky, June %, 1871, and died June rs,
1890, at 1870 p. me- aged 50 years and
one day,
He enlisted in the First Kentucky cav
airy in 1861 and was discharged therefrom
in 1852, on account of disability, having
contracted the disease that finally caused
his death.
He moved to Indiana after his dis
charge from the army and one year later
was married to Elizabeth B. Agee, Of that
state. Indiana was their home until 1873,
when they moved to Kansas, locating
near Wichita, where they made their
home until 1898, when, on the opening Of
this land to settlement he secured the
tract or which is their present home
Rev. Hurt was converted at the sge Of
II, and united with the Baptist church.
In 1851 he was ordained a minister in the
Missionary Baptist church, and was
pastor of the West Baptist church Of
Wichita at the opening of the Strip, and
since then has been active in religious
work, especially during the time when
the lahorers were few, and then not for
pay, l5ut for the glory of God.
He chose his political affiliations from
principle, rather than from dictation of
party, and in his early years was always
a Republican, but at the founding Of the
Popuist party he joined its ranks and
was elected to the Kansas legislature in
1890.
His children are. as follows: Three mar
Tied daughters and one married son.
namely Mrs. Ida V. Glessnn, Mrs.
Lena Wilson Of Summer county. Kansas;
Mrs. Leota Dyas. Saltwater, O. r, and
Floyd Hurt who lives at home Children
at home are: Moody, Pearl, Russell Jay
and Maisy.

EVERYTHING is READY
For the Patterson Davis 60 Round
Bout at Auditorium Tonight.

The pugilistic contest at the Auditor
lum tonight between Patterson and Davis,
both of whom aspire to be the cham
pion, for the championship belt Of Kan
sas and Oklahoma, is now in readiness
and win be pulled of as per schedule.
The interest reached the highest pitch
last night but as both men are about
evenly matched the local sports are
somewhat reluctant about betting their
money. However. some even money has
been placed. There is a side bet of $500.
The fight Will be spirited from the first
TO the last round and one Of the best
contests ever pulled off in this city is
anticipated by the sporting element. The
Auditorium viii no doubt be wen filed
by Spectators. As usual both men are
confident OF victory. They are in good
condition having been training for some
weeks. and a prediction as to the prob
able winner would be a most difficult
task.
