HIS SKULL Was FRACTURED
Frank McCabe, Hanging on a Freight
Car, Was Knocked Off and Seri-
Ously Hurt by Coal Chute

Frank McCabe, the eighteen-year-
old son Of Pat McCabe was knocked
off freight car Tuesday evening
about 4 o'clock and seriously injured
about the head, the worst wound
beirg a fractured skull Dr. Hen
bricks dressed the wound aud II is
hoped the young man will get along
all right.
The train was switching in the Ian
yon Zinc Company yards and young
McCabe was hanging on one side Of a
box car. He did not notice wooden
framework or chute which is built
close to the track for convenience in
unloading cars and it struck him in
the head, knocking him from the car.
The railroad boys noticed the acci-
dent and the young man was picked
up unconscious and carried into the
Office. DR.. Hendricks was summoned
and found that in addition to two
deep gashes in his head McCabe had
sustained fractured skull. A piece
of bone half an inch square was
removed, the wound sewed up and
after several hours of unconscious
ness the patient came to. Thanks to
his young and strong constitution the
doctor hopes the young man will fully
recover from the injury which lacked
but little of proving fatal.

VROOMAN Wants 70 LOCATE
The Man Experimenting With the
Cooperative Store system LeOk-
ing Over lola

Nearly everybody who reads the
newspaper has read more or less OF
recent months OF the Walter Vrooman
cooperative system which he is exper-
menting with in Missouri and Kan
sas. Vrooman is Of the socialis
faith and as first step in that line
advocates the idea that the people, in
cooperation, can handle all mercan-
tile and manufacturing business with
great benefit to themselves, as we'll as
they can handle all public utilities.
Several towns in Missouri and
Kansas have been supplied with co
operative stores by the company he
has organized and the REGISTER
learns that representatives OF Mr..
Vrooman have been working in lola.
They have looked the ground over
carefully and selected several stores,
representing the principal lines of
business they are seeking to buy them
The outcome of the attempt will be
awaited with interest, there being no
way of telling at present whether the
deals will go through.
