A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Mr.. j. II. Kuder, Foreman of the Brick
Plants Narrowly Escapes
Horrible Death

BY an accident at the new brick
plant :last Thursday. John II. Kuder
the foreman, was nearly killed, his
skull being fractured by blow from
a heavy iron bolt.
The accident occurred at the new
plant Of the lola Brick Company on
the north side Of the mound. There
had been a slight break down in the
morning and Mr.. Kuder was some
what nervous from anxiety to get
everything in working order again.
He was standing over the betting
which receives the brick as they
come from the press, gathering up the
loose pieces which remained on the
belt. A power shaft runs beside the
carrying belt and knuckle joint in
this shaft caught his coat in front and
whirled him forward on his face. His
forehead was dashed against the iron
support of the betting and a deep
wound made by q heavy nut. The
machinery was stopped and the un-
fortunate man rescued.
It was. thought that he could not
live a moment, but he retained his
consciousness and when Drs. Fulton
and Chastain reached the place some
time later, he told them where he
was hurt. Besides the blow on the
forehead which fractured the skull,
his left arm is bruised and possibly
broken, and feared lie WAS injured
internally. AS soon as the doctors
had thoroughly examined him litter
was formed and he was Carried by
the men at the plant to his home on
condition seemed unchanged, he
knew his wife and was rational and
conscious all the time. The doctors,
however, held out no hope that he
could recover. To operate on his skull
he must be chloroformed, and if
choloroformed he would die in five
minutes, wasthe dilemma which con-
fronted them.
Mrs. Kuder has been sick for sew.
eral weeks and the blow of having
her husband carried into the house in
dying condition has been very hard
on her. Loving friends and neigh bors
are vieing with each other to care for
the sorely atiiic'e ed family.
Contrary to expectations, Mr.. Kud-
or bids fair to recover. The doctors
dressed his skull and arm and he Ia
rational and improves daily.

JOHN f. HALL,
Late First Lieut., Goth Kansas.

The foregoing was shown to Lieut..
A. b. Conley and Lieut.. w. p. Hull,
both of the Twentieth Kansas, and
both pronounced it malicious inter
mingling of truth and falsehood, with
a goodly tprinkling OF downright
lying.
Mr.. Conley said that Hall is dis
appointed man, conceited and am
bilious, who never forgave his town
man, Metcalf, fol not promoting him
to a captaincy. AS a matter of fact
Hall was considered an incapable by
the men and Numbered and made
endless fun.
Mr.. Hull was too busy to go over
the article and pulveriZe it but after
branding different sections as whole
sale faleehoods. he pointed out sew
eral points. The toe story was one
of them. Metcalf was wounded in
the toe, shot right through the joint
at the ball of the foot, rode q mile
farther with his men and sprained
the joint when he dismounted. Then
he returned to camp and "came as
close to dying from blood poisoning
as ever q man did," said Mr.. Hull.
The band played "Hot Time" to
the British because they had no
music and could not play "God Save
the Queen" And Metcalf repri.
mauded them for their thoughtless-
ness afterward.
The ship question was not Metcalf's
fault. The ship carried 1400 odd
men with life saving provision for
some 800. This fact violates the
British rule that each ship before
clearing port must have life saving
provision for every soul aboard.
Every lola soldier maintains that
Metcalf was brave, efficient soldier,
competent officer and eminently
fitted to handle the subject of the war
in the Philippines. 1t is needless to
say that whoever the author of the
Philippine sketches or speeches, Hall
may hope for but slight notice.

A Smooth ScOHndrel.

Last fall man by the name of
Rush called on the Salem school
board individually and wanted to sell
them some kind OF chart for their
school. After talking awhile he
asked for the name and address Of the
man he WAS talking to, pretending to
want 1t for the purpose of getting the
board together at some future day.
AS he never came round again his
visit passed out Of mind until the
gentlemen were notified the other
day that payment was due on an
order for $40, signed by them. They
came up to see about it-G. wv
Lytle, G. f. Parker and a. Wood
constituting the board-and found
that their names had been very
cleverly forged to an order OF $40.
The same game was worked by the
same man on the Deer Creek school
board. OF course the loss is Mr..
Bowlus', and he Is prepared to give a
warm welcome to man by the name

A Destructive Blast.

The new brick plant of the lola
Brick Company on the north eide of
the mound, was partly demolished
Thursday morning by blast of shale
set off too near the machine room.
The plant is built ON a terrace cut
from the solid shale of the mound
and this shale stands twenty feet per.
pendicularly above the level of the
buildings. The building in which
the huge crusher stands is close TO
this wall, and when blast was set
off in the shale, huge masses of earth
and shale were blown against and on
top of the building, crushing a hole
twenty feet in diameter in the walls
and littering the machinery, The
machinery ran some time before the
engine could be stopped and it was
found that the crusher had been
broken Another one was brought
over from>the old plant and work will
be resumed in few days.
