HAMMER BLOW
ONLY NICKS HEAD
OF COLORED LAD

Walking all the way from Elsmere
with fractured skull, Gilbert Smith,
a colored boy. aged II years, entered
the Homeopathic Hospital last night
and exclaimed: Say. doctor. my
buddy hit me in the forehead with a
sledge hammer, and l-bclieve my skuiI
bone is broken
An examination by the hospital ply
eicians showed that one of the homes
in the front Of the skull was cracked
by the blow. Smith stated that on his
long walk he had expectorated about
pint of blood.
He said that he was sitting on the
ground yesterday afternoon watching
his brother drove a stake with a sledge
hammer. when suddenly the hammer
flew off the handle and struck him
squarely in the forehead with enough
force TO kill an ordinary person.
Smith. however, stated that the blow
l"only inconvenienced him for a time,
land he afterward decided to go to the
hospital just to see II anything was
the matter with him" Physicians re-
garded his experience as remarkable
not only because OF the apparent
lslight injury the boy sustained, but
also because OF the long walk he took
lafter H. He win remain at tho
Hospital for observation TO determine
whether the injury may be serious.

EStabIiShmentOf James Young
6 Son Wiped Out Of Exist
enCe for Fifth Time
RUMORS THAT INCENDIARY
STARTED THE BLAZE

POCOMOKE CITY, Md, Sept "a
The large saw and lumber mill OF
James T. Young & Son, situated at the
front of Walnut street, on the POGO
moke River, this city, was destroyed
by fire last evening. The alarm was
given about 73O o'clock by G. Edgar
iSchoolfeld, of this city, who saw the
smoke and flames issuing through the
windows as he was going downtown
from his house.
The Volunteer Fire Department ar
rived quickly on the scene and In lO
minutes after the sounding OF the
alarm, had five streams OF water play
ling on the flames. The entire struc-
ture, however. valued at $4,000, was
mass of debris In less than 10
minutes. The highly iniammable ma
lterial, consisting principally OF dry
shavinss, rendering the efforts of the
lfremen futile, as far as saving the
building was concerned.
Several thousands dollars worth oi
llumber we're scattered in piles around
the large yard and these we're saved
from destruction by the herioc efforts
of the fremen and citizens. A new
boiler. recently installed by the firm
AT a cost of 81 500, also escaped with
out material damage, but the pipes and
lbelts which we're part Of the mil
machinery were considerably damaged
lOnly a light breeze was blowing at the
time of the fire and this fact alone
saved the large plant OF the Pocomok'
lice and Electric Company and large
lcspning establishments along thu
shore of the river from destruction, al
many sparks we're carried In the di
reotion of these buildings from thu
burning mill.
The confagrstion last night was tn
hfth in the history Of the firm, o
which James T. Young is the senio
mariner. All Of them started on tn
! same site and resulted. in every case
in almost total demolition Of thei
] milling establishment The first o
these was in 1882. the name of tn
; firm then being Young & Coulbourr
/ and the last previous to last night wa
i'm 1905.
The cause Of the fire is unknown
but rumors Of incendiarism are rife
Many believe that the mill was inten
} tionallv fred. The total loss is esti
/ mated at $500. with practically n
insurance. the rates demanded on th
structure by the insurance compan
since the conhsgration in 1905 bein
SO high as to be prohibitive.

HAWLEY FAILED TO

Relative to the Mr.. Hawley's efforts In

The governor says he has been treat

promises whatever regarding the dis
tribution of Idaho patronage, and be
leaves Washington entirely IN the dark
as to what appointments the president
intends 10 make.
The governor discovered among the
other things that this administration il
disposed toappoint only Democrats who
were enthusiastic Wilson men the last
campaign and who are also disposed 20
be for Wilson In 1916. He does not get
this directly and squarely from anyone

A MISTAKE or
OF 300 BUSHELS

Last week in reporting the yield
of grain on Ed Munk's ranch a.
Bennington, we stated that he se-
cured 926 bushels Of oats from i've
acres, when it should have been 525
bushels or lo5 bushels per acre.
A yield OF 22S bushels from five
acres would be nothing to brag
about, but If there is any farmer in
in Bear Lake county who can show
better yield Of oats than Mr..
Munk secured, we would be pleased
to hear from him.
We wish that IL were possible
TO obtain something like fair
estimate of the number of bushels
OF wheat and oats harvested in Bear
Lake county this year. We are
satisfied that the total would ex-
ceed every conservative estimate
which might be made.
The owners of all shreshing ma
chimes in the county have evidently
kept . record of the number of
bushels their machines have turned
out. II each one would send rs
their report We would gladly pub
lish II. There Is great deal of
grain yet to be threshed and II will
probably be 3 month before q COM
plete report could be secured, but
we would be pleased TO publish any
reports which may be sent 10 this
office.
