SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT.

One of the most serious outomo-
bile accidents in this part of the
country occurred in the west edge Of
town Tuesday night, and for while
it was thought that it would cause
the death of Emory Fravel of Larned
known throughout the state as one
Of the most daring automobile driv-
ers in Kansas. The Larned Business
Men were visiting Pawnee Rock Tues
day night, and as they started home
the tail light on travels machine
went out and he turned to the side
of the road and was in the act Of
lighting it, A team and buggy was
a short distance behind him, and be-
hind the buggy was A. D. Bixby and
family with their Northern car, their
son, Taylor, driving, running at about
Is or 20 miles, when he turned out
for the buggy. He was watching the
team and didn't seem to pay any at
tention to where he was going, when
all of a sudden he noticed Fravel
about 20 feet ahead Of him. Before
he could collect presence of mind to
turn out he crashed into the rear of
travels car, pinning Fravel between
the two cars. The spring Of Blk
by's car punctured a large hole in
travels abdomen and his left hip
was badly crushed.
The local doctors were soon on
the ground and attended to him
until DR.. Ewing arrived from Larned,
when he was taken to Larned as soon
as possible and placed in the hospi-
tai, where everything possible is be,
ing done for him. An operation was
performed Wednesday morning, and
DR.. Muir received word from DR.. Ew-
ing this afternoon that he was getting
along fine.
T. C. Wilson was with Fravel but
got out Of the car in time to escape
injury. Both cars were slightly dam
aged.-Pawnee Rock Herald.

JACK INGERSoLL.

The many friends of the IngerSoll
family near Claflin were deeply pain
ed TO learn Of the death Of their sec
ond son, Jack, which occurred at the
family home on Wednesday morning
of last week Of appendicitis. Jack,
who was injured by being thrown
from a buggy a few weeks ago, had
practically recovered from his injuries
On Friday Of the week before his
death he complained of being i'll. He
grew considerably worse, and al
though everything possible was done.
ne continued to grow worse. On Tues
dey evening the physicians undertook
to perform an operation, but had
not gotten very far when they discov-
cred that it would be useless, and
that his life could not be saved.
Jack was a hard working, brave,
manly, Christian little fellow. He
was just past sixteen years of age,
was a great help to his father and
mother, always alert to their wants
and their needs. He was a member
of the NJ. E. church, good and con-
sistent attendant at all meetings, we'll
spoken Of by the Sunday School work
ers and a general favorite with all
who knew him. He is survived by
his father and mother, two brothers
and three sisters. II is the first
child the parents have lost, and they
feel the hand of death on their fam
lily very keenly. His fathers helper,
his mothers Joy, one Of the stars in
the crown Of hope in the family that
mas clung together through all these
years, a favorite with the numerous
relatives OF the family, It was thought
best by the Lord to take him to his
heavenly home. There he would es-
cape the trials and tribulations of
this world. There he would look down
and guide the steps Of papa and man
ma, and brothers and sisters. There
ne would intercede for them and all
his friends so that they might have
a safe journey through this vale OF
tears, and living rightly, in the fear
Of the Lord, eventually find them
selves face TO face with himself a.
gain in the world 70 come, a united
family. The familyhas the sympathy
Of their many friends.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home, Thursday, by Rev.
Wilson.

OPENING GUN OF THE STATE
FAIR.

Every effort Of the Kansas State
Fair management is being made
towards making five full days of fair,
regardless of the usual custom of de-
voting the first day, Monday, to SET
ting up, and the last day to tearing
down. Each and every day advertis-
ed as fair dates will be a big day,

atty Of forfeiting the space assigned
insures complete fair on Monday.

that has heretofore attended

GARAGE AND LIGHT PLANT CON.
SUMED BY FIRE.

A fire broke out early Wednesday
morning in the engine room of the
light plant and garage and as a re-
suit there is nothing left of the build
ing but the side walls. The fire start
ed in the roof where the exhaust
pipe from the big thirty horse power
gasoline engine went through. Chism,
an employee Of the plant, was in
charge of the engine at the time. and
jus, before the fire broke out the en-
gine had gone dead, and being unable
to start it himself, had gone after T.
A. Calhoun to assist him, and before
they got back the fire started. The
engine was heavily loaded on account
Of the extra light for the picnic, and
the exhaust pipe got hot enough to
start fire in the roof. A large crowd
was soon at the scene Of the fire
and every effort was made to put it
out, but having only the chemical and
that assisted by the bucket brigade,
and the fire being between the cell
ing and the roof, it was impossible to
make any headway and the flames
soon spread over the entire roof.
All the automobiles which we're
stored in the building were gotten
out as was also the automobile elec-
trio supplies. The dynamo will prob
ably be total loss and to what ex-
tent the engine is damaged remains
to be seen.
Mr.. Ruch's loss will probably run
between $1,000 and $4,000 and there
is $4,000 insurance on the building
and contents.-Claflin Clarion.

GOT THEIR MAN.
Sheriff Daley and Geneseo Marshal
Did Some Quick Work Hare.

Wednesday afternoon the sheriff of
Rice county was notified that there
was an injured man at Bushton who
was destitute and who needed help.
He investigated and found that the
man had been riding in a box car
and got his foot mashed by some SHIFT
Ing lumber. He took him to the com-
~ farm, near Lyons, where he could
receive treatment and be cared for
and there was told the young fellow g
story. He said he had only $2.25 and
that he was trying to beat his way
home TO Illinois when the accident oc.
CURED. The wife of the manager OF
the poor farm offered to mend the
young fellows clothes while he was
under medical treatment and in doing
so found that he was correct in stat
ing that he had $2.25. She wanted to
know II his folks should be notified
and he told her that his relatives liv-
ed in Ohio and Danville, ILL.,, and that
they were as poor as he and could
not help any. He gave his name as
Charles Going.
A few hours later the marshal Of
Geneseo and Sheriff Daley who had
heard about a man being taken to
the county farm drove up, explained
their errand, and woke the man. He
told them the same story he had told
the proprietOrs Of the farm and Dali
ey told him he was the man he want
ed and made him get up and dress
and go with them. He had robed his
partner in Claflin Monday night.
With his partner he had been work
ing on a threshing outfit near Hois-
ington and they went over to Claflin
Monday night to attend the picnic,
sleeping in barn there. Going got
up during the night and stole the
other man s money, $500, and skip
ped out. He tried to buy a ticket to
Danville, ILL.,, but didn't have enough
money so was trying to beat his way
for long enough distance that he
might buy ticket when the accident
occurred. A search of his overalls
disclosed the SIS hidden in the waist
band. He is a young man about q
years old and this appears to be his
first experience with serious trouble.

Public Fountain Now Up and Only Kind Can Be Obtained
A BAD SPILL.

What was very bad accident. and
what might have been a fatal one,
occurred at Claflin on Thursday even
ing of last week, as Mr.. and Mrs. Don
Dodge and son Ralph, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Dodge, were returning
from the IngersOl funeral. The other
members of the funeral party had
gone directly bone from the GENE
terry, while these folks stopped up
town a few minutes. Don was driy-
Ing his own team, hitched to his sur
rey. AS they got on the railroad
track crossing, having crossed over
the first track they were suddenly
confronted by west bound train. As
they say, no warning seems to have
been given by the train of it's ap-
proach, and as there are a number of
sheds along the north side of the
track, the occupants of the buggy did
not see the train. hIr. Dodge stop
ped the team quickly and started to
turn away from the track, but the
horses SHE'D, and turning quickly, up-
set the buggy, throwing all of the oc-
cupa1lS out and injuring them. The
horses started to run, pulling Don
along with them. He hung ON for a
short distance but was compelled to
let loose. His injuries resulted from
this effort to stop the team. Ralph,
the boy, was slightly injured and
bruised. Mrs. Don Dodge was proba-
bly, hurt the most. She was uncon-
sclouS for some time, and suffered
slight conclusion of the brain. She
was so badly injured that she could
not be brought home till Monday.
Mrs. Charles Dodge received three
cuts on her right limb, which has
Kept her closely confined, and given
her a great deal of trouble. Charles
Dodge was badly bruised and injured
On his right side, and has been con-
fined to the home ever since. It will
be several days before he or Mrs.
Dodge will be out. They were able
to be brought home Friday. The ac-
cident was very serious one. yet a
lucky one. An instant more and the
surrey would have been hit by the
train, which would no doubt have
meant death for all of the people in
the surrey.
