Former Oklahoma City Boy Met With
Serious Accident

Oklahoma City. o. T., Feb. 12-Johnny
Clark, who will be remembered as a mes
senger boy for the Western Union Tele-
graph company in this city. recently met
with a most disastrous accident at his
new home in California.
He left here last April with his mother
Mrs. Bridges, to reside in California. He
soon afterward secured employment on
the Santa Fe as a newsboy with a run
from Albuquerque, N NJ. to Riverside
Cal On February as he was starting
on his regular run he undertook to
mount the cars as 1t moved off, but he
was wearing new shoes and as he grab
bed the handrails of the car his feet slip
ped forward and under the wheels of the
car, the wheels passing over the leg be-
low the knee and over the other foot.
Amputation was necessary below the
knee in one case and taking off practi-
cally all of the other foot.
Johnny Clark was about twenty years
old and was an enterprising business
like young man. His misfortune will be
greatly regretted by friends in this city.

At the Toler.


A company of American artists. headed
by Miss Marie Lamour. presenting a COM
edy of American authorship. which, how
ever, received its initial production at the
Strand theater. London, will be the at
traction at the Toler next Saturday. Feb
ruary IA. The play referred to is VIII
fred Clarke's brilliant comedy. "A Wise
Woman. and its presentation in this
country has so far proven a duplicate of
its success in the British metropolis This
piece held the boards OF the Strand the
alter for nearly 80 nights to capacity
business and this fact alone would seem
to be an unanswerable argument of sue
cess.
Miss Lamour. the charming coincidence
who is being featured in the title role
OF "A Wise Woman was recruited from
the brilliant corps of players in Days
New York theater. and the faith that
was placed in her ability TO make a
success in stellar capacity has so far
been more than justified by the results.
The best evidence of this is that. not
only do the critics praise her. but ire
mendously large audiences have greeted
her almost every night in the season.
