FRED KNOCK
INJURED While
COUPLING CARS

Fred A. Knock, a brakeman on the
Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad, was
so injured while working in the To-
cal yards Sunday that the amputation
of his right arm, below the elbow,
was necessitated.
Just how the accident occurred is
not plain, but it seems that Knock
was helping crew do some switch
ing work about the local railway
yards. In attempting to make a
coupling between two cars, he lost
his footing and as the heavy cars
came together his right hand and
forearm were caught between the
heavy irons and crushed out of all
semblance to hand.
The injured man was at once taken
to the hospital, where Drs. Mapes
and Alexander attended to him to
the best of their skill 1t being seen
that it was useless to try to save the
mangled hand, the amputation was
decided upon and executed. Knock
who is well known hereabouts, is do
ing well.

WINTER WHEAT
PROMISES BIG YIELD
Report Shows That Crop This Year
Is Far Ahead of Previous
Seasons.

New York, May 9.--In its issue yes
terday the Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin published its
first monthly report of the season on
winter wheat.
The report covers condition and
acreage in the principal winter wheat
states and includes as per cen: OF the
total winter wheat crop. Nearly 1900
replies have been received. The av-
erage date is April 2S. The combined
condition reported in these ten states
Is 91.3, or practically the same as re-
ported In all states by the government
last month This leaves the condition
to points higher than a year ago.
when the government figures were
s29.
In 1906, the banner year for winter
wheat the condition at this time was
90.9, and the average condition for
the last ten years has been s5.5. so
that at the close OF April this year the
condition was nearly points above
the average.
The acreage planted last fall was
3l,069, 900, or about / per cent less
than In 1906; but only 2.2 per cent
or $500 acres have been reported
acres abandoned in 1906 Consequent
ly the acreage at harvest is now esti-
mated at 3O,560,O0O, against 29.6OO.-
900 in 1906, and has only been ex-
cecded once. That was in 1908, when
the winter wheat area was 32h mil
lion acres.
This combination OF an unusually
high condition and the second largest
acreage indicates one of the biggest
winter wheat crops on record. Ac-
cOrding to the formula of the New
York Produce Exchange these returns
suggest a yield OF 465 million bushels
on the old method, or 432 million
bushels on the new method the for
previous record crop was 493 million
bushels In 1905. Continued favorable
weather would almost surely produce
a bumper crop but II Is hardly prob
able that some deterioration win not
take place before the harvest in July.
In any event a very favorable govern
ment report Is TO be expected II the |
reports Of correspondents are any cri- |
teriOn. For several days these advices !
have been exceedingly optimistic. a |
large proportion saying conditions |
" ere "never better"
In Kansas, the greatest winter |
wheat state, the condition is almost |
3 points better than a year ago, In |
diana 20 points better, Ohio sixteen /
points better. Illinois five points bet
ter, oklahoma twenty points better
ana Texas forty points better. |

Birdsall Of Iowa, having charge OF
the bill, recalled that the law was the
most remarkable piece OF legislation
ever enacted. Instead of being an "act
to regulate law and procedure in GER

titled an act to prevent the recovery
of damages for injuries, received in
accidents or otherwise upon railroads
within the territory of New Mexico"
1t was, he asserted, an iniquitous
act of the legislature and demonstrat-
ed the wisdom of the law given to
Congress to absolutely control the
legislation Of the territories.
