MAY LOSE
HIS LEFT ARM
Young CreekmOrs Is Now in
Kansas City Hospital.

W. b. Creekmore, the young man
who fell distance OF 30 feet from
the long ladder at the waterworks
tank Wednesday, was taken 10 hos
pital at Kansas City on the midnight
Katy. He was accompanied by one OF
his companions.
After Cfeekmore fell he was car.
ried 10 the Frisco hotel and was soon
in the care Of the surgeons. DR.. Craig
administered temporary relief while
arrangementsw were being made for the
necessary examination and operations
The young mans clothes were cut
away and sickening wound was
found on his left arm. IL was COM
pound fracture, one OF the torn ends
Of the bone protruding with gravel
and dirt pressed into the marrow. A
portion OF this bone was necessarily
cut away by DR.. Fortner, with DrS.
Craig, Louis and Oliver Bagby assist
Ing. Another fracture OF the same
arm was found and quickly reduced.
The right arm and right hip bone
we're also found to be fractured.
The doctors worked with the In
iured man for several hours and the
case emphasized the necessity of a
hospital In Vinita equipped with mod
ern surgical appliances.
Mrs. Mccoy, the landlady, Mrs.
Merica, wife Of the superintendent of
Of the steel tank where
Creekmore worked, and several neigh
borhood ladies volunteered as nurses
and rendered every aid possible until
his removal
When the young man recovered
from the anaesthetic administered he
showed his grit. Not once did he CON-
plain, other than to express the hope
hat he would not be a cripple. He
'equested that no telegram be sent TO
his parents at Live Oak, Florida, for
ear Of worrying his mother, but that
letter be written making light Of
lis injuries.
The medical gentlemen admit that
ne arm, perhaps both, will be OF but

supposed TO represent the contractor

About 3 O'Clock the party ap-
preached the jail when King went to

and nobody could come in. He then
turned and walked away,
