CROOKED CREEK LINE MAY
ABANDON OPERATIONS
FOR ALL TIME.
RECEIVER SAYS HE HAS
NO MONEY TO REBUILD
Physical Condition Of Road Such That
Profitable Operation Is impossible
Towns Along tho Road May Como
to Assistance "a. Prevent Abandon
ment-Road in Poor Condition.

Webster City, Aug 23-At the meet
ing of the boosters of Lehigh busy
session was held. Sam Mcclure, who
was recently appointed receiver for the
Crooked Creek Railroad Company, was
present and for the first time gave the
true status Of the condition Of the
affairs of that railroad. Mr.. MeClure's
report Of the condition of the road was
complete and he stated that unless some
help was secured he was fearful that
he would be compelled to shut down
the operation Of the road. Mr.. Mcclure
stated that the condition which con-
fronted him was more serious than he
first anticipated when he consented to
be appointed receiver, and that the
court refused the issuance Of more
money to improve the physical condi-
ton Of the road or the equipment.
Unless some assistance was given i'm
mediately Mr.. Mcclure was fearful
that the road would be compelled to
cease operations.
This report Of the condition Of the
Crooked Creek was regretted by all
who heard it, and while the Crooked
Greek railroad has not been of much
benefit to the industries along the line
during the past year, yet to have 1T
torn up and entirely done away with
is something the industries along the
line nor the people of Lehigh want to
see. A committee was named to as
sist the management OF the road in re-
lieving any present difficulty that was
in their power to do, and also to secure
data regarding the shipping in and out
Of Lehigh and along the line of the
Crooked Creek, in order to present
them to other roads which might be
interested. The local committee will
also work in connection with others
at Webster CityS Flugstad and Brushy.
The organization Of the boosters
was made permanent and J. B. Marsh,
chairman Of the meeting, was made
president The other officers will be
chosen at later meeting. The people
of Lehigh will do everything in their
power to assist Mr.. Mcclure in every
way possible, but the present poor
condition Of the equipment OF the road
makes 1t very uncertain whether it can
long be operated At the present time
the road is doing good business but
when the one lone engine plays out
the earning power of the road is
stopped and without sufficient money
another engine can not be secured.

gone to bed apparently in the best of
health struggling for breath. she is nat

minutes until vomiting Is produced,
quick relief will follow and the child

has been in use for many years with

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Aug. ga terrible &C.
cident has just occurred at Rodman.
The two-and ahalf-year old child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Burt Sloan had both
her army nearly amputated. Her
father was cutting weeds in the potato
patch and she was going out to see
him. The weeds were so tall that he
did not see her coming. She fell right
in front Of the sickle, and fortunately
the bar was raised just high enough
to pass over her body, but it caught
her arms, and great gashes were laid
open clear to the bone. It is thought
she will live but it is not probable she
will get full use of either of her arms.

PHOTOPLAYS AND
PHOTOPLAYERS
Marie DreSSler an
Example of How
Stage Stars Do
"Stunts"
By GARDNER MACK.

Some days ago. a photoplayer Of
note was quoted as saying that. the
stunt actress and actor are losing
ground In the motion pictures and
the legitimate artists are taking
their places. Marie Dresslcr comes
forward with q confirmation of that
statement. But Mss Dressler de-
clares the directors of motion MIC
lures are making stunt actors ana
actresses OF the people they bring
from the legitimate stage. And Miss
Dressler further remarks that while
It II all "a whole lot of fun. thew
arc just trifle hard on the nerves
OF Q sensitive woman"
When Acton Davies, the play.
wright and dramatic critic, was in
Washington some months ago, he
promised the editor Of the photo
play nL,tn department & Of The Times a
appeared in TITLES Tomato Sur
prise" which the Lubin company
has now produced, and which will
be seen at the Garden Theater here
the most Of this week.
According to advices from Miss
Dressler, she. too. was surprised"
helped produce 1t. Miss Dressler is
taking a vacation to recover from
her surprise" The first inkling OF
the surprise" came to her when she
was required to fall from a moving
automobile. Then she was pushed
through a brick wall, yanked into
steel cable. rolled under the open
spigot Of a barrel previously filled
with molasses. made to Jump from
bridge to a moving train. and then
made to jump from the train into a
small box.
II may say without peradventure,
as our leading romancists put it,
that I was and still as a trife sur
prised." declares Miss Dressler from
between bandages. Likewise, as
one might infer from the cotton bat
ting and lint kimono in which l am
appYssrns :ha remaaksd was sge S1ss SesSes
are a little hard on the nerves. and
I've accumulated number Of
bruises-but there was an awful lot
Of fun in making the picture. In one
scene I'm supposed to be pushed
through a brick wall. Naturally we
built that wall with watery mortar.
not expecting it to stick together
very much. But something inter
vened and we couldn't take that
particular scene on the afternoon
the brick wall was constructed. The
next day when we came to filming
1t. we found the mortar had dried
and I want to tell you that II was
a mighty hard brick wall that was
rammed against"
Miss Dressler Is q great photoplay
booster and is advising all her stage
friends to take up the work. She
had a private exhibition Of her new
film at the Gedney Farms Hotel.
White Plains. recently, and invited
William Courtney and his wife, Vir-
ginia Harmed. Louise Dresser. Ethel
Barrymore, and host OF other
stage stars to witness the film. All
through the evening she was as
nervous as II she was going through
the "hrst night" of a real stage
show. G. NJ.

German Bayonet Gets
Only Six in Thousand

LONDON. Sept 27.-How little the
bayonet is used by the Germans in this
war Is shown bv the fact that Of the
first 1000 soldiers treated In the Ameri-
can Red Cross Hospital at Paignton
only six had been wounded by bayonets.
About 50 per cent of the shrapnel
shell. grcnades. or gunshot wounds were
found to be non -pcrforating.
Not counting fractures, the wounds
were located as follows: Head. 64;
neck. 8; trunk. 122; upper extremity, 1872;
lower extremity, 24l: central and
peripheral nerve injuries, IL; circula-
tory. ]. Heart trouble and rheumatic
fever were most frequently observed.
The average time elapsing between
the injury and the first field dressing
Of the wound was about six and a half
hours. Thirty-fve of the 1000 wounded
were unfit ever to return to duty, and
those who did return were. on an aver
age. about twentv-three days on sick
leave. 0......
Only three of the thousand died.
