"A voluntary petition for receiver
ship was granted yesterday by Chan
cellor Falconer, of Fort Smith. to the
wv. A. Mathews 4 Sons lumber and
stave company, who operated mills
at Fort Smith, Camden and Pine
Bluff. In the application for receiN-
ership the company's assets arc set
forth as more than $200,ooo. While
the liabilities are listed at $4,000.
The principal creditors named in
the application are the Cotton Belt
Savings and Trust Company. OF this
city; the First National Bank. Of
Fort Smith: the Faulkner County
Bank. OF Conway; the First National
Bank, of Camden and the Mercantile
Trust Company, of Little Rock. The
reason given for asking for receiver
was the stringency of the money
market at this time the inability to
realize en- their holdings and their
failure to get extensions on paper
now III me DdlkS.
The assets of the company consist
of about $4,000 worth c. ..iaterlal IN
the yards at their respective plants,
which is yet to be finished, $4,000
to 10000 in real estate and timber,
and the remainder in machinery,
teams, wagons, accounts receivable
and office fixtures and supplies.
The receivership was rendered to
Capt. r. M. Galbraith &of this city,
who accepted with the understanding
that L. P. Mathews would continue
in charge at Fort Smith and S. II.
Mathews assume the control of the
Pine Bluff plant, which was agreed
to. The plant at Camden had been
shut down for some time, and only
last week Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Math-
ews and children removed to this
city from Camden. 1t is thought at
this time that the plant at Camden
may again resume operations under
the receivership.
The concern was reorganized and
incorporated on August l, 1913, UNI
der the present name of w. A. Math-
ews and Sons, but was conducted for
several wears under the firm name of
w. A. Mathews & Company. II was
for years one of the largest maui
facturers of slaves and hardwood lum-
Der in this state, and it is with re-
greet that many friends of the gentle
men at the head of this business will
learn of it's temporary embarrass-
ment.
Confer At Fort Smith.
The Fort Smith Southwest Ameri
can says relative to t be receivership
of the Mathews company:
None of the subsidiaries of the
company are affected by the receiver
ship, it was announced, and the COM
pany will continue operations as
usual. The mill in this city was
running full blast yesterday as
though nothing had happened. The
subsidiary companies are: The Chero-
kee Cooperage Company, of Stilwell,
Oklahoma; Mathews and Gilstrap
stave Company of st. Paul, Ark, and
the c. G. Wilson Stave Company of
Lake Village, Arkansas. All OF these
companies, it was learned yesterday,
are in excellent financial shape.
All day Sunday, conferences were
held between members of the COM
pany and it's creditors. Former Gov

At Dell Rapids Explodes and

Killed

Dell Rapids, July q. -Burned to a

plant after ere, following an explosion,

How Msule met hss death will prob.
ably never be positively known. The
theory has been advanced that he was
struck in the head by a plug 10 the
cylinder head of a gas pump, the blow
crushing his skull and topping him
over into the engine pit where his
body was found. The gas pump, still
running, IL this theory Ia correct,
forced gas into the building through
the opening where the plug had been
and this ignited. causing the explosion.
The explosion was heard by people on
the streets Of Dell Rapids at 1910 and
immediately after dense clouds of
smoke relied out Of the building and
the interior was destroyed before the
army Of volunteer 6re.fighters had
extinguished the blaze.
Maule was alone in the plant ut the
tine. A travelling salesman had
visited with him in the engine room
a few moments before the explosion
ard declares that Maule causally
mentioned the fact that a valve was
giving him trouble and that he intend
ed to adjust it The travelling man
had proceeded only three or four
blocks on his way uptown when the
explosion was heard.
The victim OF the accident leaves q
wife and young eon His parents also
reside in Dell Rapids where the young
man had grown up. He was held in
high esteem by all his townspeople.
The total loss to the PAS and water
works, ii is believed, will not exceed
$l5, 600. The building is constructed
Of stone and nothing but the infiamable
interior and parts of the machinery
was destroyed. There is no apparent
serious damage to the boilers. gas gen.
orators and pumps. but various pipes
and connections will have to be re.
placed. The pumping of water from
the plant was resumed at night after
having been cut of all afternoon.

INJURED ENGINEER
Uses Pocketknife When Friends
Refuse to Kill Him

Decatur, Ala, July 2S.-Caught
under an overturned locomotive in the
Louisville and Nashville yards here
late last night. Huston q. Fleming, a
20 year old engineer whose wedding
date was set within the week, killed
himself by cutting his throat with hi
pocket knife to bring relief FROM the
agony he was suffering. With mis- legs
crushed and steam fairly cooking his
body, the young man begged fellow
workmen to kill him. The men re
fused. though they could not 8
him from the wreck.
"For Gods sake" the young man
cried, put me out Of this living
hell; kill met
Beneath the tangled mass of ma
chinery the mans white face was
seen by the crowd. Then, with half
paralyzed hands, he managed to grope
toward a pocket Of his coat. Out of
1t he brought a penkuife. He opened
a blade of ii with his teeth.
WELL" he sobbed. 'if none of you
men have the nerve, I'll do it myself. -
Without hesitation he drew the blade
across his throat. He made a deeu
wound that severed the jugular vein,
and that instant the suffering man
escaped his agony.

the side OF the big locomotive, causing
1t to turn turtle.
Hamlin vas thrown from the cab
and his skull fractured. He was un-
conscious. and died in a hospital later.
John Smith. a fireman, who was a
witness to Jennings terrible and dra-
matte death, said:

And all we could do was to stand
there and see him suffer and hear him

fearful pain 1t seemed almost right
that somebody should do as he asked.
But, OF course, none of us could bring
ourselves to do that. And finally the
boy got out his own knife. We were
all too sick and weak with watching
him for any Of us to think of taking
the knife away from him. We just
