reached the scene of confagration and
suffering.
Mrs. Trammell burned her hands and
arms severely in trying to save her
sons life. The entire family are now
at the home of Arthur Barger in Delta,

The Trammell family consisted of the
husband. wife and four children. They

company of men at their home during

rose Chautauqua which begins at Mont
rose July l9 and continues to and In
cluding July IS, was in Delta Tuesday
distributing programs and putting up
bills advertising the event. A careful

qua will be good day and disappoint-
ment will be practically impossible.
SPECIAL DAYS
On the Goth will be Missouri Day"
when Champ Clark, the famous Mis-
souri congressman, will be the principal

be another special date when Gov. Cum
Minis of that state will speak. The
