SALEM OIL MAN
!. DIES N HOSPITAL
Howard Was Run Over BY a Wagon
While 1t Work in the
;ira OH Fields.

WHEELING, Aug. 14-Wllllam
Howard, an eighteen-year-old son 1
William Howard, of Bridgeport, died
in the Wheeling hospital Tuesday
from injuries received while working
in the oil fields at Salem last FRI
day afternoon.
The young man was driving along
one of the roads in a light spring
wagon, and had occasion to get out
for something. While he was in the
act of getting out of the rig the
horse started and his body was
caught between the wheel of the
wagon and the bed. He was crush
ed very seriously about the stomach.
Salem physicians attended him and
he was later sent to the Wheeling
City hospital, where it was found
that some of the vital organs of the
stomach and bowels had been ripped
open by the collision. An operation
was performed Sunday at the hos
pital. but 1t was thought at the time
that it would be fruitless.
He suffered much during Monday
and all through last night his con-
dition was such that no hope for his
recovery was entertained. The body
of the unfortunate young man was
removed to the home of his father.
William Howard, in Kirkwood, at 10
o'clock this morning, and the funeral
will probably take place Thursday
afternoon.

burned readily. though the depart
ment saved the walls. Again, at 8

gets SO mixed with dirt that it is more
open and when the suns rays strike It
in the early spring the effect is quickly
noticeable. Last winter when the first
snow fell it was in such volume that it
covered the ground to a considerable
depth and the winters winds were
unable to dig up as much dirt as in
former years. The snow lies more
solidly and is disappearing slowly.

rapidly along the roadways where it

when any engineering job is in course
