Otto Johnson, tree surgeon en-
ployed in this city, met with an acci-
dent of very serious nature while
engaged in his work on East high
street Wednesday morning at about
8:20 o'clock. The accident resulted
when he came in contact with an
electric wire charged with high volt.
age and he was rendered unconscious
and was terribly burned.
On Wednesday morning johnson,
in company with two other men, be-.
gan work on some large trees near
the Stillwell and Eastman homes on
the north side of East High street
and was working at that point when
the accident occurred. He had climb.
ed to the top of telephone pole and
from the pole on to one of the large
limbs of the tree He had been work.
ing for some time on the limb when
he changed his position by throwing
his left leg over large electric wire.
In order to balance himself Johnson
caught hold of another with his left
hand and q circuit was Immediately
formed.
The instant the shock passed
through his body the surgeon uttered
cry for help which was hearo by his
fellow workmen. Not knowing exact
ly what to do, the men ran to the
home of Mr.. L. C. Stillwell, who called
up the electric power station as soon
as possible and the current was shut
off. Next a long rope was secured at
the r. G. Anderson home nearby and
the end of this was thrown over the
limb directly over the unfortunate
man, who was lowered to the ground
by means of moose which was slip
ped under his arms.
DR.. N. r. Eastman was summoned
and attention was Immediately rem
dered the stricken man, who was un-
conscious as result of the long con-
tact with the electric wire. His body
had turned deep Que and it was at
first feared that he was dead. An ex-
animation showed that his heart was
still beating very family and he was
revived after time by means of hy-
podermic injections.
Chappelear's ambulance was called
and he was taken to the Mt. Vernon
hospital where he was attended. It
was found that his left thigh was ter
ribly burned, the wire having i'm
bedded itself in the flesh nearly 10
the bone and making a wound about
eight inches in length. The left hand,
which was holding the wire at the
time of the accident, was burned to
the bone on each finger that came in
contact with the current.
Dr. Eastman stated some time after
the accident that the injured man was
doing exceedingly well and that his
recovery is expected although 1t will
take some time. AS soon as he Is
able Mr.. Johnson will be removed to
his home in Columbus, Ohio, where he
engaged himself as tree doctor only
a short time ago, this being his first
experience in the profession.

GREAT CROWD
Attended Opening Of The
Roe Emerson Sale

That newspaper advertising when
properly conducted, pays was made
manifest today when the Roe Emer-
son clothing store on South Main
street was packed with busy bargain
hunters. So great was the crowd that
1t required the service of fifty sales
people, twenty cash boys and four de-
tectives to take care of the buyers,
while two cashiers were kept busy
handling the cash, all the results of
judlcious advertising.
The Emerson sale is in charge of the
Success Sales System, Mr.. d. Hoppe,
an expert advertiser and sales conduct
or Of Chicago, managing the sale in
this city. Mr.. Hoppe has conducted
sales all over the United States and
says that the secret of his success is
truthful and reliable advertising, as
there is never anything advertied
which cannot be produced at the sale.
Roe Emerson is well established
clothier of Newark, o, and Mt. Vernon,
o., having been In business for fifty
years and known all over this section

HORSE Thieves
HAVE OPERATED
IN THREE STATES

One of the boldest horse stealing
cases recorded in the section en-
bracing Western Utah, Eastern Ne
vada and Southern Idaho in years
came to the attention of the author
tiles last week, when it was learned
that % stolen horses had been
shipped from Wendover, Utah, to
Grand Island, Nebraska, August i !,
by way of the Western Pacific, the
Oregon Short Line and the Union
Pacific, apparently under the guard
of the principals of gang of
horse thieves.
Sheriff M. M. Bush of Tooele
county telegraphed authorities at
Laramie, Wyo., last night to step
the car of stolen horses and arrest
those in charge. He also telegraph
ed the sheriff at Grand Island Neb.
to arrest the care-takers and hold
the horses for evidence until they
can be redeemed by their owners.
Through unofficial information it
was learned that the car Of horses
had been stopped at Laramie and
that care-takers were under arrest
It that place.
The stealing of horses west OF
Wendover, stretching over the Ne
vada line and up into Idaho, has
caused an extensive investigation fol
a period of half year. On the
morning of August 1, twenty-thret
head of horses were driven tt
| Wendoyer by unknown horsemen
A car was ordered and the horses
were shipped to Grand Island, Neb.

The Nevada Wonder mill has for
a week been in actual service in
crushing ore. AS one citizen ex-
pressed it, the grizzly is grizzling, |
the crushed crushing, the conveyor
conveying, the stamps stamping, the
classifiers classifying, the tube mill
tubing, the thickened thickening,
the pumps pumping, and the agi-
tators agtating.
The filters have not yet come
into service this being the last pro-
cess to which the shines are treat
ed before they are thrown away,
robbed of evrything fvalue which
the rock contained.
The zinc tanks, for precipitating
the gold and silver after the cy
anide solution has dissolved it, are
all charged and ready for service,
and the cleanup man is getting his
furnaces and melting pots ready to
cast the first batch Of bullion into
bars for shipment to the mint.
Everything seems to be working
splendidly, and thus far nothing I'M
usual has occurred in the shape of
breakages or accidents to the ma
chinery
The great wooden tanks are get
ting we'll soaked up, the thousand
and one little leakages in the nu-
merous launders or troughs are clos
ing up, the bearings of the shafting
are wearing off the rough spots and
everything is rounding into shape
for a long, steady and prosperous
run.
Mr. Seiberd has gathered about
him crew of experienced men to
operate the various machines, each
an expect in his particular line, and
they are getting things systematized
rapidly.
The starting of the mill was de.
layed for want of some necessary
supplies, but now that they have
arrived and more are continually
on the way, no more difficulty is
anticipated in that direction.
No attempt is being made at thu
present to work the mill to its full
estimated capacity, the management
preferring to go carefully at the be
ginning, get all the machines t.
working in harmony, keeping al
eye open to the efficiency of eacl
machine, and gradually increase TIL
load till the capacity is reached.
The starting of this mill is look
ed upon by the people of Wonde
as the beginning of long perio
of prosperity for the district, nc
only through yielding profits to thi
company, but by demonstrating tina
the ores of the district can be prof
itaby worked.
The mineralized district is S
wide and the surface showings S
great that when this company be
gins pi.ing up profits, which is look
ed upon as a certainty by the pee
pie here, little difficulty will b
experienced in interesting capital j
the development of other properties
Each mine added to the list of pre-
ducers will make it easier for 9th
ers, and it is predicted that befor

okLAhoMA,s BIRTHDAY.

Justifying the observations made by
the World some time ago with respect
to the arrogance evinced by some of
the west side institutions, the esteem
ed Oklahoman persists in fixing the
birth of the state on the date when
the first run occurred into what was
later Oklahoma Territory, and in OBJ
serving that date as the birthday of
the state, BY that method of reckon
ing Oklahoma was twenty-five years
old yesterday. a
/ But no such an assumption can go
unrebuked and no such mathematics
can become established in Oklahoma.
If the birthday of the state is to be
thus fixed, then let the birthday OF
Oklahoma be fixed on that date when
congress established these reservations
and ordered the tribes to remove here
from Mississippi, Alabama and the old
reservations east of the Mississippi
1t was from these reservations that
Oklahoma territory was carved. and
the state never existed in fact until
the balance of the reservations were
added thereto-the whole being crown
ed with statehood only little more
than three years ago
The birth Of the state of Oklahoma
occurred on that day in November
1907, when the presidents proclama
tion made it member of the Union
1t is absurd to attempt to fix the age
of the state at 22 when as a matter
of fact it is less than four The latter
date is recognized by statisticans
everywhere. Why should anyone in
Oklahoma seek to change it?-Tulsa

HOW TULSA REGARDS THE ELks

The magnificent new club house ded-
icated by the Elks of Tulsa Wednesday
is first of all tribute to the genius
and resourcefulness of that organiza-
ton, but it is also typical of the way
Tulsa does things. The splendid struc-
ture at Boulder and Third is Tulsa
institution. 1t belongs to the Elks, but
the Elks are of and for Tulsa.
The very MEN who made the con-
struction of that building possible have
also made the Tulsa of this day pos
sible. And in their club house they
have offered to the world a lasting
demonstration of their loyalty to and
confidence in Tulsa.
The new club house is admittedly
the finest in the entire southwest. Yet
there are two larger towns in Okla
homa, and many in the southwest. This
fact, then, indicates superiority of
some sort on the part of Tulsa and the
Tulsa lodge. This feature of the case
is the one that must appeal to the
stranger.
1t is said to be the policy of the
governing board to make the new in
stitution as much of Tulsa institution
as possible. The magnificent ball
room and cafe will be at the disposal
of the public on all approved occasions.
This is fine. For it means that the
Tulsa public will speedily come to feel
that it has a direct interest in this
structure which is monument to the
progressiveness and daring of one
Tulsa organization-Tuls World.

Most of the states now observe
Arbor day, but Delaware has Arbor
day, bird and road day, which was OBJ
served a few days ago. This seems
especially appropriate, since trees and
birds and country roads are a happy
combination and should be found to-
gether. Since the advent of the auto
mobile fine turnpike roads are being
built out many directions from hun
dreds of towns and cities throughout
the country The shady lane has a
charm hardly to be equalled among
all the meautiful things seen outside
the bustling village, or the throbbing,
restless city. To plant trees along the
roadside and offer protection to the
feathered friends that follow the trees
is both a wise and beautiful custom
and ought to be adopted in more
places than it is.

POPULAR SOCIAL CLUBS
DANCE WAS DELIGHTFUL

The dance given by the Cherokee
Social Club last nisht was the most
enjoyable event in the clubs brief his
tory. All things worked together to
make this occasion one of rare delight.
The committee in charge of arrange
rents left nothing undone to add to
the pleasure of the evening. The hall
YVES beautifully decorated. The pro-
gram was splendid and to crown ali
the assembly OF dancers was most
congenial and seemed to feel the spirit
of the OCCASION to the end that all spent
an evening long to remembered in
the social circles of Vinita. The
weather was ideal-iust cool and ex-
hilerating enough TO make dancing
enjoyable. The music was furnished
by the Joplin orchestra and was by
far the most delightful dance music
the club has yet had.
