Lodge Hall Completed

F. Spinnenweber has just compile
ted the new Fraternal hall, where
the Knights of Pythias, Odd Eel
lows, Woodmen of the World and
Modern Woodmen, besides the
smaller fraternal orders of Pocabon-
tas, will hold their meetings in the
future. The room was arranged
especially for a lodge hall and is
one of the incest and most conven.
lently arranged of any in this part
of the state. ThA different orders
had contemplated uilding a hall of
their own, but when Mr.. Spinner
weber made a proposition to build
and furnish hall cheaper than the
lodges could build they very wisely
accepted his proposition. The lot
owned by the lodges, located just
west of Henry Meier's store, will
probably be offered for sale in the
near future.

A number of newspapers over
this district are boosting Hon. W.
A. OldGeld, present congressman,
for James P. Clarke's place IN the
U. S. Senate two years from now.
A movement OF this kind would
please the people of Randolph

primary election and this is high
tribute to his worth as congress
man. He is very popular over the
district and in the future will re-

FACTORY MAN HAS
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Frank Speice, a member of the
firm of Speice Bros, of this city,
happened to very serious accident
last Friday afternoon while on
board a gasoline boat on Black riv-
er above Shaver's Eddy. Mr..
Speice was standing in the boat near
the engine when in some manner
his trousers caught in set screw
on the shafting and in an instant
his right foot was jerked around
the shaft and his ankle and foot
broken and crushed in horrible
manner. The pressure was so
strong that the engine stopped,
but not in time to avert the acci.
dent. The injured man was brought
to Pocahontas with all possible
haste and Drs. Throgmorton and
Black were called who set the in
iured ankle and foot and rendered
the patient as comfortable as posi-
BILE for time. Upon recommen-
datlon of the physicians Mr.. Spelce
was taken to St. Louis Saturday
where he was placed in the hospital
for treatment under the charge of
expert surgeons, A telegram re.
ceived Monday from Tom Speice an
nounced that Frank was getting
along as we'll as could be expected
and that amputation of the foot
would not be necessary unless COM
plications set up later. Frank
Speice is one of Pocabontas' most
popular young men and this sad
accident is deplored by many friends
of his and of the family.

SKINNER and BROWN
BUYS LIGHT PLANT

The plant of the Pocahoneas Ice
q Power Co. was sold last Monday
by the trustee, Ben A. Brown, to
the highest bidder according to law,
and was bought by w. H. Skinner
and DR.. ]. w. Brown for the sum
of $5, 400.
The plant has been shut down
for the last several weeks on account
of some defect in the boilers and
other parts of the machinery, and
the fact that the old company had
no money with which to have the
necessary repairs made, the plant
suspended operations.
Mr.. Skinner informs us that he
is making arrangements to have the
entire plant overhauled and repaired
within the next few weeks in fact
the work will begin at once and it is
thought that we will have lights
within two or three weeks, at the
latest. The new company will also
begin making Ice just as soon as
the boilers can be repaired.
The management is not prepared
to say just yet how the plant will
be operated in the future. Mr..
Skinner is figuring on organizing
another company, composed of
home men strictly, and putting in
sufficient capital to place the bust
ness on a firm financial basis to
start with. He says that by this
means the plant can be operated
successfully and without any loss to
the company. However should he
decide not to re-organize he and Mr..
Brown will run the plant themselves
and put in enough money of their
own to carry the business along
until they can get 1t apon paying
basis.

Won One, Lost One

The Pocahontas High School ball
team recently organized has started
in to play some ball this season.
In the first contest for this season
they lost in a snappy game with
Success, played on the latter's
grounds last Saturday morning, the
score standing seven to three. In
the afternoon of the same day, how
ever they won a great victory over
team from Maynard on the local
grounds here. The score was 81 TO
l2 in favor OF the home team
Both sides played "rocky" ball as
the score would indicate, errors
piling up by the score. 1t is proba-
ble that lack of practice is respon.
slble for the poor playing, or maybe
it was "hard luck" At any rate
the boys say they will soon be able
to match up with the best in the
country. Our line up is as follows:
L. johnson, catcher; Cavenar-
Spikes, pitche-; Monday, short stop;
PhIpps, first base; Hicks, second
base; Nicely, third base; Spikes
Cavenar, left field; Hall, center field;
Eaton, right field.

Bio Crowds Attend

Nearly three hundred people at

Saturday night. The house was
crowded to thel very doors, the
chairs were all taken and many had
to stand during the show. Mr..

and the best music ever furnished
in Pocahontas. The shows and
music are just as good as are found
in the cities. This is the verdict of
all who attended Cookies place.
