Site Inspector, G. Il. Robinson, was
here Wednesday and spent the day
under the eagle eye of Postmaster

Thirteen years ago the order had
eight charter members. It now has
2S1 members. Perhaps no other in

A MOST TERRIBLE accident
WILSON SCHOCk KILLED BY
OVERTURNED WAGON
TUESDAY
The Streets Were Covered with
SIeet, Causing Wagon
to Skid

The residents of the town were
shocked Tuesday evening to hear that
Wilson Shock had been killed by the
oyerturning of wagon he was driv-
ing on Pacific Hill about 4:30 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Sehock, who works for Heacock
& Son, was hauling flour from the
mill to load at the Missouri Pacific
depot. The hill is steep and was
thickly coated with ice and sleet,
which caused the skidding of the
heavily loaded wagon. There was
no stopping it and it turned over, at
this time braking the pole which
caused the team to run. Whether
Mr.. Schock kept his hold on the lines
or whether he was caught by some
thing on the wagon is not known, but
he was dragged about60 feet and
crushed against a huge rock which
protects a sewer pipe close to Maust's
elevator. His chest was crushed and
he lived but a very few minutes.
He was carried to a house nearby
and a physician called but nothing
could be done for the injured man
He was taken to his home by friends
where his wife was almost prostrated
by the shock
Wilson H. Shock was born April u,
1850 in Thomson township, Seneca
county, Ohio, where he lived until
the spring of 1865, when they came
to Nebraska settling on farm near
-Rulo. Before leaving Ohio, Mr.
Schock, then boy of Is years tried
to enlist in the Union army, but
being understood for a boy of his age
he was rejected, to his great dis
appointment.
About 1875 he was married to Miss
Amelia Slagle, who survives him.
They have no children. For several
years of their early married life,
they lived on farm miles north of
town but moved into town more than
seventeen years ago and for about
eight years Mr.. Schock has worked
for Heacock & Son, and at all times
has been man highly respected by
all who knew him.
The funeral was held from the
home Thursday afternoon, conducted
ed by many friends.
Besides his wife, deceased leaves
one sister, Mrs. John Santo, and one
brother, Elmer Shock, and to all is
extended sincere sympathy.

West, Kansan Declares.
Washington, =. c., Dec. 9.-Arthur
r. Davis Of Garden City, Kan, chief
engineer of the reclamation service,
today discussed in an interview with
the State Journal correspondent the
subject of government reclamation
work in the 'tGreat American Desert. "
He said the reclamation bureau is
expending $1,000, 900 a month in con-
structing dams, one of which is the
highest in the world; in digging thou
sands of miles of canals, and in erect
ing power plants for pumping and to
furnish power, light and heat to the
communities which are being estab-
lished in the desert.
Mr.. Davis said: "A careful esti-
mate of the unreclaimed swamp land
areas of the United States indicates
that there are 100000 acres which
may be drained and made productive.
More than one-third of this enormous
area is located in the Atlantic coast
states
Mr.. Davis directs the attention to
the fact that irrigation is not peculiar
alone to the arid country. The arti-
fetal application of water to truck
fields and orchards would undoubtedly
prove profitable on many eastern
farms owing to the periods of drouth
in the growing season, he said.

to Cincinnati if he is given the chance
to manage that club. Bresnahan said
that If Higgins returned to his old,
team, the St. Louis management
would expect a good exchange of
players for him.
