BOYS arm TORN FROM BODY
Horrible Accident at Nicholson Smelt-
er Mains Earl Stout For life
Caught in Big Crnsher.

One of the most terrible accidents
which has happened at the factories
about here for many day occurred
last Tuesday when Earl Stout the
eighteen year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. l.. Stout, had his arm caught in a
powerful crusher and SO mangled and
torn that the physicians took it of be-
tween the elbow and the shoulder.
The boy was working in the crusher
room, where the ore from the cars is
run between heavy ironcylinders which
weigh hundreds of pounds. 1t was
his task to shovel the crushed ore into
the elevator buckets which carried 1T
away. About 1880 that morning after
he had been at work some time he
started TO leave his post, stepping past
the crusher In some way he stumbled
and fell, naturally putting out his arm
to catch himself. BY an awful mis-
chance his stiiTened arm went right
into the crusher and the revolving ron
caught Instantly at his mitten and be-
fore he could draw it away the arm
was drawn into the machinery above
the elbow The relentless wheels
ground and chewed the arm until the
forearm fell away from the upper arm.
AS quickly as possible another work
man stopped the machinery and the
mangled boy was taken out. Medicala as
.sistance was summoned and a bandage
to stop the rapidly flowing blood was
temporarily put in place, and the boy
then removed to DR.. CoX's office where
he removed the arm, assisted by Drs.
Teas and Mcdowell.
The only person near at hand when
the accident happened was the man
who works above the crusher. He
heard the boys cries for help and
hurried to his assistance. The boys
story of falling into thecrusher is dis
credited by some Of the men as piece
of ore was found stuck in the crusher
and it is thought he may have reached
his hand in to free it. The boy was
wild with pain and terribly excited
and hence it is thought he may not
have known how it happened although
Inc says he fell into the crusher.
The loss of his tight armis mighty
serious loss to a young man and Earl
Stout will be handicapped the rest of
lhis life. He has been working at the
smelter three months. His father was
for long time employed by F.. w.
Fitzgerald in the transfer business
and came here two years ago from
Missouri. They live in east lola.

Marr a. Son Sell Ont

The furniture firm of A. Mari &
Son have finally closed up deal
whereby they transfer their business
here to Mr.. j. w. Fuller, who as
sumed charge of the store. The
old firm succeeded Culbertson & Son,
and has done good business during
its stay here. Mr.. MARI expects to
remain in lola and will probably en-
gage in some business. His son is
employed as cashier at the Santa Fe
depot.
Mr. Fuller. the new proprietor, is
from Creston, Iowa. He has been a
commercial traveller for years, and
brings into his business the genial
ways and the acute business sense OF
that life. He expects to move his fam
lily here and make this his permanent
home, and will undoubtedly win
friends and business rapidly.

Advancement for A. c. Scott.

A Guthrie dispatch dated February
s to the Wichita Eagle has this to say
of a formerly-of-Iola man:
"a movement has been started by
the friends of President a. G. Scott,
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
college at Saltwater, to make him
president of the Alva Normal school
to succeed James f.. Ament, who re-
tires from the head of the institution
in July next. The selection of sue
cessor is to be made at the next quart
erly meeting of the board of educa-
tion, which is in April. There are
numerous candidates for the position,
but the members of the board are AT a
loss to know just who to place at the
head of the Alva institution.
"As yet there has been no public
announcement of that fact that Scott S
friends are working to place him in
the presidents chair at Alva. The
work will be done quietly, and il Scott
is not selected, he will continue as
president of the A. and NJ. college.
He has made success of the college
at Saltwater and those persons who
have been watching the Alva Normal
believe that he can straighten out the
situation there better than anyone in
Oklahoma.
President Scott is now in Washing
ton where he is working to increase
the appropriation for the Agricultural
college. He has enlisted the aid OF
Congressman Flynn and the two will
make determined effort to pull their
measure through. AS an educator and
public man, there are none better
known in Oklahoma. President Scott
is an orator always in demand, and
his friends predict that with the eXecu.
tive ability he possesses, he will be
able to install harmony in the Alva
institution as far as it its connection
with Alva and the rest of the territory
| is concerned. IL is not known whether
President Scott knows of the move.
ment to place him at the head of the
Alva institution or not, but his friends
are working just the same"

He REPRESENTS SHELTERS
Mr.. Nichols, VINO Took Leases For the
Matthiessen-Hegcler People,
Here Again on Business.

About year ago Mr.. Nichols, q
very pleasant gentleman whose busi-
ness is engineering, came here from
Chicago and remained for months.
He looked up oil and gas matters and
finally took extensive leases on lands
between lola and Humboldt AT that
time he declined pleasantly to tell his
business, but it was. generally be-
lieved he represented the Matthiessen-
Hegeler smelling company, of La
Sale, Ill. A we'll was sunk but did
not prove big enough to induce
further developments.
A day or two ago Mr.. Nichols
dropped into lola again, and is just
as careful about talking about himself
and his business as he was before. He
had interviews with Mr.. l.. G.. Beatty,
getting such pointers about the county
gas field as he could, and she lalso
talked with County Surveyor Lutte
Stover, whom he met before Both
assert total ignorance as to his busi-
ness here. He did say that he does not
represent the DaSalle people.
There is an interesting report cur
rent that he came here at the instiga-
tion of the Matthewson-Hegeler people
or of A. II. Meyer to look into the re.
ported sale of the Horville place to F.
V. Crouch, and that his visit means
the building of another huge smeltel
on that land and great big addition
to lola and her population.
In any event his visit indicates tha

pleasing news from lola and is look

A. L. Tavlor has Resigned.

Mr.. A. L. Taylor, president OF the
old and existing commercial club, has
resigned having rendered his resigua-
tion to the secretary, Mr.. Il. H. North
rup Saturday. This leaves what re-
mains of club without head, and
makes more urgent the necessity of
forming that new club.
Speaking of the new club one man
tells the REGISTER that he has talked
the matter over with several men and
they are all agreed that new club
would be a good thing. All were
agreed, however, that they thought the
old club should maintain its organiza-
tion and the newness consist OF
the addition of new members. The
trouble with this is that the president
of the old club has resigned already
and the other active members are anX-
ious to turn the duties over to new
men.
What is needed is popular recog-
milton of this need of club and a de-
mand for a public meeting where the
club may be discussed and the first
steps taken toward organization. This
done, each member could see to it that
another good member is secured, and
when 100 members were secured the
club could be organized and plan its
campaign for the good of lola. The
REGISTER will give space free for an
nouncing such meeting. Now this is
the season to organize.
In this connection the following re-
port of the organization of a COM
mercial club at Independence is OF in
terest. The Reporter says;

Mary, wife of Mr.. J. II. Seitz died
last Tuesday of catarrhal consumption
at the family home, 5ll south Walnut

Death was not unexpected as Mrs.
Seitz has been suffering for years from
the malady which ended her life, but
the blow falls none the less heavily on
the family, which but year ago was
called upon to mourn the death of
their eldest boy who was carried off
by the same disease.

The Humboldt bank failure years
ago still manages to entahgle the
court records with a maze of interests.
Mrs. n. +. Fisher has filed a new
suit that is intricate and mixed.
Her husband was administrator of
the estate of August X. Barber, father
of the president of the bank. +. A.
Barber and G. G.. Barber gave to him
note for S2,243,66, payable "six
months after the death of Anna NJ.
Barber" their mother. Two thirds
of this note was paid off, Mrs. Bar
ber dying the year after the note was
given. Then Paul Fisher resigned
and G. c. Barber was made admins
traitor, Fisher going on his bond.
Later Barber was removed and 'Chas.
Schatfner made receiver, Barber be-
coming bankrupt. Paul Fisher died,
and his wife became administrator of
his estate. Schaifner sued her and
got judgment for the balance remain
ing due on the note given by the Bar
bers but which they never tried to col
lect against themselves. Mrs. Fisher
paid the amount and then secured the
note. f. A. Barber, bank president,
removed to Missouri. but claims
equities in various pieces Of land.
Recently the district court decided, in
the suit of j. b. Charles VS. N. f..
Fisher, that Barber owned a fourth
interest in the land. Mrs. Fisher now
sues for the sum she paid on that note
and will attach Barber's share in the
Charles land. This is the story as set
forth in petition of Mrs. Fisher
comprising six pages of typewriter
copy.

ANOTHER CEMENT PLANT
Another Plant as Large as the Old
One Said to be Contemplated
for South of Town.

Rumors of the building of another
Portland Cement plant in this section
have been more or less frequent ever
since the fact was established that the
present plant is a great success. The
rumors have never been very definite
or certain however.
The REGISTER Wednesday re-
ceived through the mail an interesting
letter. 1t contained neither date line
nor signature, was written on type
writer, and evidently was intended not
to convey any idea as to the source
whence it came. So to the interest
which the contents mas is added the
interest of mystery.
The letter is as follows:
"Options have recently been OBJ.
tanned on several hundred acres of
land adjoining the lola Cement Com
pany property. This land lies both
south and west of the lola Company's 5
plant, and is crossed by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad nd ais
is bounded by the Neosho river.
"The parties who obtained the OPP
tions now are negotiating with East
ern capitalists, and haveevery reason
to believe that a new Portland Cement
plant will be erected the coming year
with capacity fully as large as the
lola Cement Company plant"
Accepting this prophecy as correct
| both as to the size of the works ant
the certainty of its establishment, lola
has bright future. The presen

500 men, has pay roll of Sl5, 900 tC
$40, 900 a month, and makes 300
barrels of cement every day. 1t Il

Killed Il Wolf Near Moran

DR.. Lambeth of Moran, and his broth
erwho is visiting him. had an interesting
little wolf hunt Monday. They were
taking drive on that morning
and discovered some fresh wolf tracks.
They followed them around a section
and then the men who are both good
hunters, concluded they were getting
close to their game. Coming down be-
side hedge, they finally saw one of
the wolves lying on the other side.
They drove along about fifty yards to
the side as il they were going by and
when they got opposite let drive with
Il double barreled shot gun. They
crippled the beast pretty badly, but
not enough so they could keep up with
him. However, they followed up and
soon came to hollow where there was
little snow drift. The Doctors s
brother jumped out and hid himself
beside the drift, telling the doctor to
follow the wolf and he would double
on his tracks. Sure enough h did
and soon came back trailing along
within few feet Mr.. Lambeth let
drive again and now has wolf skin

they have at Moran prove unsatisfac-

When the first Moran we'll was drill
ed it supplied an abundance of gas
and the pressure was strong but no
cut off was put on to elbow off" the
we'll, and it has never been blown out
since it was drilled. AS soon as the
weather gets warm enough that the gas
can be shut of half a day the cap
will be fixed and it is hoped that when
the we'll is blown out it will increase
the pressure.
The Lanyon Zinc Company is drill

who for eight weeks had suffered with
the most terrible pains in her back

"After using the Pain Balm for n few
