DAMAGE SUITS BROUGHT
AGAINST PAVING COMPANY

Tulsa Okla. Dec. S.-Asking for
damages totaling $4,000 as a result
of an automobile accident in Tulsa
August 30, last, three damage suits
have been filed in the district court
against the Parker Washington Paving
The plaintiffs are George
is. Berry, Jr., IA, and Karl Armestrout,
16, each asking $4,000 for injuries re.
ceived, and George b., and Evelyn
Berry, parents of the Berry youth,
who seeks $4,000 for the expense and
worry and loss of their sons earnings
incurred by the accident.
The paving company is blamed for
the presence of a pile of sand at Thir-
teenth and Boulder avenue, which
caused the automobile driven by young
Armentrout and Berry, to turn turtle
and bury them beneath its heavy
frame. The Berry boy suffered two
broken ribs, a dislocated heart, pune
|tured lungs, and deformed back and
side caused by the tearing of tissues.
The Armentrout boys head was com
pletely scalped of nair and skin, which
has never grown back, leaving him
deformed, in that respect.

ON OWEN LAND BILL

Washington, d. g., Dec s. The
hearing on Senator Ovens bill pro-
viding for the sale Of the surface OF
the segregated coal and asphalt lands
in Oklahoma, which was to have been
granted today by the committee on

Thursday. The house committee on
Indian affairs will conduct its hear
ing tomorrow on the house bill and
Governor Locke of the Choctaw nation
and Pat Hurley, both opponents of the
measure in its present form are ex-
pected to appear. Both oppose the
sale on the surface without the disposal
of the mineral rights. but as this has

years to the sale of the lands, it is ex-
peeted their protest will be over-rid-
den and the bill reported to the house
with favorable recommendation for its
passage.

sensation experienced this morning by
West Mccullough, Frye farmer and
brother of Sheriff VIM. Mccullough

small, the three calves are perfectly
formed and fully matured, and it is

HIGH WATERS ALARM / ORTAGE.
WATER is FLOWING OVER DikES
AT kILBOURN.
Desperate Efforts Being Made to Con.
fine Torrent in Its Proper
Channel

Portage, Wis, Oct 12.-With the
Wisconsin river higher than it has
ever been before in history desper-
ate efforts are being made to confine
the torrent in it's channel and keep the
dikes from going out and flooding the
entire valley, which would mean dis
aster for a whole county.
A telephone message was received
from Milwaukee road officials at Lew
iston, eight miles north of here, ask
ing that special train of Workmen
be rushed to that point, as the dixie
was breaking.
The water at this point stands 1873
feet on the government gauge, which
is 2.10 of foot higher than the mark
set in 1900 and 1905, the former rec
ords. The river reached the 12-foot
mark and rose at the rate of an inch
an hour throughout the night. 1t has
now ceased rising and hopes are en-
tertained that the crest of the flood
has passed.
The great dam at Kilbourn is still
holding, although reports stated that
the torrent is going over with crest
of II feet. Water is over the fences
along the main line of the Milwaukee
road between Cheney and Kilbourn
Residents of the valley fear for their
property, but as all have been warned
they are ready to seek high ground at
a moments notice.
