BUFFALO GAP BANKER
Meets Death When Auto Wheel Breaks
Lost Control of Machine Brakes
Refuse to Respond.

Buffalo Gap, Nov. 3.-Clark S. Isham,
one of the best known ranchers, bankers
and business men of the southern Hills,
met with an accident which resulted
fatally last Sunday while oUt in his au-
tomobile, between Buffalo Gap and his
ranch south of town. In some way he
lost control of the machine. and the
breaks refusing to respond. be came at
tremendous speed until the left forward
wheel gave in when the machine turned
over crushing his chest in. When he
recovered from the shock he managed
to extricate himself. and knowing how
terribly injured he was, walked mile
and half to his rauch house where he
called up town for help. With both
broken ribs penetrating his lungs, it is
wonder that he was able to walk this
distance and to wade creek and climb
some hills. Assistance was sent at once
and he was taken six miles to town in
an automobile, where the doctors called
from Hot Springs, pronounced the in
juries of most serious character. Ow-
ing to his conditions, and the rough
roads, it was impossible to remove him
in an automobile to the hospital, and
while taking him to the train in the
evening, he expired.
The shock was too much for his iron
constitution, although he made brave
fight for live.
Mr.. Isham was for number of years
cashier of the Buffalo Gap State Bank.
of which institution he was vice presi-
dent at the time of his death. He also
was member of the school board and
president of the Custer-Fall River Irri-
cation Association of Buffalo Gap, and
one of the most effective workers for
irrigation, owning an irrigation plant of
his own. Before entering the bank he
was for many years engaged in buying
and shipping horses to eastern markets.

THE PRESENT CRISIS,

There is no doubt about the crisis, the
very nerves of the world have been
tingling over this crisis for over three
months, and the terrible reign of car
mage and death still goes on. Thinking
minds are asking, what do these things
mean? Does civilization contain the
germ of its dissolution which has now
been let loose and 10 sweeping the ma
tons like fearful plague? The progress
of modern science has been the boast of
our civilization; now all the forces of
that science are being employed to blot
civilization from the earth. Austria's
hot declaration of war seemed to be
wholly warranted in the face of the
agreement of forty five nations to arbi-
trate. There is one thing very striking
about this situation, and that is, that
the most Titanic conflict of all the ages
comes after years of prophecies of peace.
And it certainly was almost chronicle
that some of the delegates who went to
Europe this summer to attend the Peace
Conference at the Hague were unable to
reach their destination on the account
of war.
A few weeks since during discus
sion in Congress, the majority leader in
the House of Representatives used these
words: The American people are facing
a crisis, one of the ost serious crisis
that this country has faced since the
Civil war, brought about by conditions
over which they had no control. The
whole world is involved in this crisis
There has been much haman specula-
ton and false sentiment created that
the world Is growing better and that we
are approaching millennium OF peace
and good will, and that there can there
fore be war no more.
know very we'll that there has been
absurd. illogical, fantastic interpretations
Of prophecy, and that for generation
again and again somebody has risen and
set definite time for the world to come
to an end and they have based their
prediction upon so.cailed Interpretation
of prophecy, and just as these peace
prophets have utterly failed, SO have
these other prophets come to naught. ]

found it invariably true to date, and the
little yet to be fulfilled undoubtedly will
be in the near future. l am convinced
there is safe and sane Interpretation
the scriptures. They are given for our
ben eft, not given to tantalize MS, nor to
arouse false hopes, nor to set false ideas
afoat, and l want In my next paper to
call your attention briefly to an outline
of this worlds history extending over a
period of twenty five hundred years.
Necessarily it must be mere outline,
and l want to call your attention to
sweep of the prophet word which will
take you down through history until
this very day, and / do this that you
may see in clear way that these are
scriptures that apply to this very hour,

tion far differently from some of the
predictions l have briefly referred to
