RUSTY NAIL MAY CAUSE DEATH.
G. f. Geer, Thought to Have Taken
Poison, Has LOckjaw.

Wichita, Kan. Feb. 23.-When Geo.
F. Geer stepped on a rusty nail four
days ago he paid little attention to the
small wound the nail made in the bot
tom of his foot at the base of the
great toe. Now Geer has been taken
to the Wichita hospital, suffering with
lockjaw. His recovery is doubtful.
Geer was arrested at o'clock yes
terday on the charge of vagrancy. A
few hours later fellow prisoners in
the city Jail notified the turnkey that
Geer was dying. DR.. L. P. Warren,
city physician, attended the man and
after considerable difficulty, discovered
that he was suffering from tetanus.
DIR. Warren found Geer's body stiff
fleming and his jaws set. At first he
believed that this condition was caused
by the use OF a powerful drug, prob
ably stryehnine. After many ques-
tons, DR.. Warren learned that Geer
stepped on a nail four days ago and
had small wound, that was almost
healed, on the ball of his foot. The
case was Immediately diagnosed as
tetanus.

HE'S THE OLDEST KANsAN.
William Beth Was Born in Leaven.
worth II Years Ago.

Fort Scott, Kan, Feb. ga large
framed, brawny man, not much bowed
by age nor apparently feeble, standing
over six feet high and with a keen
eye. stepped into an office here and
issued the following challenge:
Il want to challenge anyone that 1
am the oldest White-bOrn child living
in the state of Kansas. Born at Fort
Leavenworth in 1871. Been a resi-
dent of Bourbon county II years. If
there is any older please send them
around. We will talk old times over
again.=William Beth
It is doubtful if there is living in
Kansas today another person who has
lived in the state as long as Mr.. Beth.
His father was a soldier in the regular
army way back in the late thirties and
early fOrties. Up to 1871 he was sta
toned at Fort Leavenworth, and in
that year, shortly after the birth of
his son William, he was transferred
to the barracks in this city. Soldiers
were kept here at that early day to
protect the people along the frontier
from marauding Indians, who as late
as twenty years later lived all around
Fort Scott. The family continued for
years to make this their home and
some years later William Beth, then
a young man, homesteaded a farm
northeast of Fort Scott in the Fulton
neighborhood. He lived on that farm
about sixty years. Retiring from ac
tive life few years ago. he sold the
place and moved to this city.

ing for a number of years, but last
season was the one that proved the
real value of it. Last season he pro-
dueed $50 bushels of potatoes to the
acre, realized a profit of $3.50 an acre
from his tomatoes and cleared $500 an
acre from his cabbage.
He had in four acres Of cabbage,
four of irrigated potatoes and three of
tomatoes, eleven acres in all of irri-
gated ground. And the cost of the
gasoline used was so trivial that il
was hardly reckoned. Six gallons of
gasoline, costing a fraction over 10
cents a gallon would run the pump 5
hours, which was enough to soak the
ground good.
