The Killing of Judge Mast.

= Poplar Bluff Citizen, November 30.l
Aaron Mast, a lumber inspector
for H. l. Ruth, vas the victim of
two accidents this morning the
second of which killed him Instant
ly. He was first crushed by a tree,
which stretched him across the
track of the Williamsville, Green
vile & st. Louis railroad, and a
train then severed both legs.
1t is reported that the body was
then taken to Greenville, the tragic
death having occurred between
that place and Hiram, and prepa-
rations were made for a c%oroner's
inquest. The office of Mr.. Mast's
employer was notified by long dis
lance telephone and, in turn, his
family, consisting of his wife and
two daughters, was informed of
the tragedy.
Mr.. Mast is said to have been
travelling along the railroad on his
speeder when a gust of wind bore
down a tree, which struck and
rendered the inspector uncon-
scious. He was knocked onto the
railroad track and before assist
ance could be given him a train
crushed off both legs. He was in
stantly killed.
Information sent into Poplar
Bluff was rather meager, the acci-
dent evidently having caused such
excitement that spectators or in
vestigatcrs we're unable to make a
connected report.
MI. Mast's family lives about
three miles from Poplar Bluff.
Members of it make almost daily
visits to this city and their ac-
Guardianship is large. They
were terribly distressed when told
of the husband and fathers death.
Mr.. Mast was one of the best
known men in Butler county. He
was known as "judge" and at one
time was public administrator Of
the county. Some years ago he
was part owner of the old Citizen.
being in partnership with Joseph
G. Berner. He had friends by
scores. He was about 55 years o.
age.
No information regarding his
funeral or the time of arrival of the
body here could be ascertained, al
being held in allegiance pending
the action of the coroner at Green
Vile.
A report reaching here at A O'Clock
this afternoon stated that Mr.
Mast's body would arrive in Pop
lar Bluff tonight on train No. q
of the Iron Mountain railroad.

BULLETIN.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1910-12-08
Poplar Bluff Citizen December 1st.)

The body of Aaron Mast, who
was killed yesterday about noon
on the Williamsville, Greenville &
st. Louis railroad near Hiram
after being crushed by a falling
tree, was brought to Poplar Bluff
last night and consigned to the
Frank Undertaking company for
preparation for burial.
1t is likely that the funeral will
not take place until Saturday. A
married daughter, Mrs. Schmidt.
living near Kansas City was noti-
fed of the tragic end of her father
and she will attend the obsequies,
which probably will be under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows.
A delegation of lodgemen came
down last night from Greenville
with the body to do whatever they
could and to show respect for the
deceased member of their fraterni-
ty.
Belief now prevails that Judge
Mast was alive and even conscious
when the train bore down upon
him after he had been stricken to
the railroad track by a tree. AL
though terribly crushed and
mangled the coroner's investiga-
ton at the scene of the tragedy re-
vealed evidence that the victim
was alive when the train struck
and crushed off his legs.
Judge Mast had been supervis-
ing the loading of a car of lumber
near Hiram. He quit work to go
to Hiram for lunch and the quick
or to arrive there boarded his
speeder and started. An elm tree,
dead, stood a short distance from
the track near a curve in the rail.
road. A strong wind blew dowr
this tree and the timber struck
Judge Mast on the head and face,
MASKING him down and rendering
him unconscious.
w. HI. Reed Of Ellington, a fell
low worker, had been with Judge
Mast and was the first to reach hin
after a train rounded the curve ane
crushed off both legs. Mr.. Reet
says the trainmen reported that
Judge Mast was in a kneeling Of
sitting posture with his hands to
his face. He seemed to be in {
stupor and was helpless. The train
men saw him when the engine wa
2tO steps distant but the train coult
not be brought to a standstill in
time. He lived about thirty min.
utes, but was unconscious through
out the half hour.
A special train was sent out b.
lodgemen to convey the body t.
Williamsville and a delegation o
four was sent along with Mr.. Reet
to assist him in the care of the re
mains as they were shipped t,
Poplar Bluff.

A WAR ON FLIES
BY HEALTH BOARD
SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN is BE-
GUN BY STATE oReANIzA-
TON.

A systematic campaign against the
ravages of the common house fly has
been started early this year by the
state board OF health and illustrated
circulars will be spread by the thou
sands broadcast over the state. From
Flies and Filth to Food and Fever is
the startling caption of this circular.
The circulars are being sent olt by
mail and express and circulation will
be secured through the public schools
of the state. The housewife is urged
10 keep flies out of the house. not to
milk-not to buy foodstuffs where flies
are tolerated, not to eat where flies
have access to the food
The public's attention Is brought to
the fact that flies are the most danger
Gus insects known to man; that they
are the filthiest of vermin; are born
in filth, live on filth and carry filth
around with them; they are known to
be carriers of millions of death deal
ings disease germs and they leave
oSLlS VI thCoC 5SA AID NhOlNfVA bhSS
alight.
The circular urges everybody to
screen all windows and doors before
fiy-time. Two teaspoons of Tornado
hyde to pint of water in shallow
dishes, or one dram of bichromate of
potash dissolved in two ounces of wa
ter and sweetened with sugar are two
poisons suggested Pyrethrum powder
burned in rooms will clear the house
quickly of flies. Powdered black flag
blown into the air will cause flies to
fall to the floor, where they may be
gathered up and destroyed.
To eliminate the breeding places of
flies, the circular suggests several sim
pie remedies: Sprinkle chloride of
lime or kerosene over garbage boxes
or places where flies gather. Keep gar
bage boxes and receptacles tightly COW
cred, clean the cans every day, boxes
every week. Keep ground around gar
bage boxes clean. Sprinkle the lime
over manure piles, old paper, straw
and other refuse. Pour kerosene in the
drains and keep the sewerage system
in good order and repair all leaks i'm
nediately Clean cuspidors daily and
keep 5 per cent solution of carboliS
acid in them all the time.
