CANT GET CURBING.
Contractors Have Trouble to
Secure Stone For Streets.

There is every indication that the
fight between curbing contractors on
East Fourth avenue will very soon
come to an issue, and that either Ram
sey & Ramsey viii be forced out of the
curbing field of competition. or that
other contractors in the city will be
obliged to recognize a new factor in ehe
competitive bidding for Fort Scott sand
stone curb
So far, Ramsey & Ramsey have been
unable to make good their promises
and the curbing has been received in
small quantities and inferior to speci-
hcati0n requirements. One-third of the
last car load was found by City l1ngi-
neer McCabe to be half an inch too thin,
and was rejected.
The city engineer states that unless
Ramsey & Ramsey have q large guam
t1ty of curbing on the ground by next
council meeting, June IS, the council
VIII probably consider the question OF
what to Go to secure better service.
The situation is Simply this: Ramsey &
Ramsey attempted to enter the Fort Scott
sandstone curbing contract and proposed
to get their curbing from new quarry.
BY submitting a low bid they secured the
contracts for a lot Of work in Topeka
Meantime the old curbing contractors
were in a fight among themselves r. B.
Kepley. the agent for Drake & Gifllan.
who own the largest Fort Scott quarries,
moved out of town, and w N. Gilmore Sc
cured a contract with Drake & Gnhllan to
take Kepley's place Kepley ,ahowever. had
no notion of giving up the agency and
hired Fred Webster to do the work for
him. Suit was commenced by Kepley
against Drake & Gilhllan, and the com
pany was forced to call off its contract
with Gilmore That made Gilmore mad
and he is now threatening suit against
Drake & Cilhllan.
But Kepley's firm went on the warpath
after Ramsey & Ramsey and bought the
quarry from which Ramsey & Ramsey
expected to obtain their curbing. The
question is now whether Ramsey & Ram
sey can get the curbing they have agreed
10 furnish. They claim to have a con-
tract for furnishing the stone which will
save them, but the other contractors assert
that Ramsey & Ramsey will have to throw
up the contract at a heavy loss.

HARD Luck i'm Large Lumps.

James Irwin of West Pearl street,
left Monday week for Wheeling, w
Va, where he entered the hospital to
have an operation performed on an in
jured leg.
The story Of Mr.. Irwins is one of
of rock bottom hard luck. Nine
months ago, while working on top of
drilling machine at well in the
shallow sand territory below Wheeling
he fell, was caught on the shaft of the
machine, hurled around and received
many injuries the worst of which was
compound fracture Of the bones of the
lower right leg. Irwin was hauled
over rough roads to the Wheeling
hospital where the physicians told him
the bones were broken in three places
and also splintered. He was deadened
with opiates and when he awoke next
day, all his injuries were dressed.
Two months later he was discharged
the doctor telling him the bones had
thoroughly united, AS an extra pre-
caution q plaster of paris case was put
on the leg, which the doctor said could
safely come off in three weeks.
Irwin came home, but the leg grew
weaker instead of stronger and he has
hobbled around on crutches for six
months past Monday of last week
he went to Pittsburg and had the in
jured member examined under an
X-Ray machine. 1t was perfectly
shown that there were but two clean
breaks, instead of three and that the
bones were not crushed at all It was
also shown that the fractures had never
been reduced and set. The broken ends
extended past each other nearly two
inches, while the ends of the smaller
bone just touched and had united at the
edges only. Irwin feels justly and
greatly enraged He started for
Wheeling to make the hospital keep
him and the doctor cure him right or
be sued for malpractice
Irwin's chagrin and Indignation is
deepened 10y the financial loss occasion
ed him. He paid the Wheeling hos.
pital $3.50 and the doctor bills increased
the total to $500. Add to this the loss
of almost years drilling at "a day,
and worst of all the loss of very
valuable lease for which he had already
been offered $1,000
A months rental was due the day
after he was hurt All that day he lay
dazed and stupifed by drugs. Two
day later when he could again think of
business matters, he sent check to the
bank for the rental and was informed
that the land owner had called for the
rental when due and also the succeed
ing day Failure OF rental forfeited the
lease, and he at once leased to other
parties and now the new owners are
getting one hundred barrels of oil a day
from Irwin's lease, the larger part of
which is yet undrilled.
