a message to the Legislature relative
to land and civil war claims supposed
to be due the state of Missouri from
the government. The land claims are
said to be worth about so, 900, 900 and
the war claims about s400, 900. The
presumption is that the committee on
appropriations will make some sort of
an investigation and submit recon.
mendations concerning their findings
to the legislature.

accident and telephoned the power house
to shut off power, which was immediate
ly done. A rope was then placed around
the unfortunate mans body and he was
lowered to the ground. He was taken to
the hotel where four doctors gave him
heroic treatment for 10 minutes, when
the nearly dead man began to show
signs of life. He was horribly burned
as the wires carried voltage of 9, 400.
The under side of his right arm was
blackened and the flesh burned off TO
the bone for about eight inches. His

recover. Miner is unfortunate, having
