= AMES GRAHAM 8IcNARY, presl-
dent Of the Ell Paso Clearinghouse
association and Of the First Ma
tional bank. believes in starting boys
at the bottom and letting them learn
their way to the top in the business
world. Accordingly. he decided this
summer that young Graham, his eldest
son, would not take a vacation. but,
instead, should work in the bank. The
young man. now Il years OF age, has
taken his place in the force OF the big
bank and has gone to work to learn
the business of which his father is
the head.
Mr. McNary plans 10 have him spend
all his vacations in the bank. so that
when he comes out Of school and is
ready for a career. he Will be ac-
quainted with the first principles OF
the business and will have some gen
eral business knowledge with which
to begin. Mr.. McNary believes that
boys who come out OF college without
any business training are handicapped
1or the reason that as young men,
they hate to begin at the bottom. yet
II they do not. the thorough under
standing necessary TO success in any
business is not TO be had. He plans to
have Graham schooled- in the primary
affairs of the business by the time he
is ready to enter the business world
so that he can at once take up the
work with a degree Of self-confidence
that q young man naturally would
lack without a thorough understand
ing Of first principles.
Mr.. McNary and his son have Just
returned from q trip to Washington,
New York and Boston. They accom-
panied the other FL Pasoans who went
to Washington in the interest Of a
cantonment for FL Paso and, after
wards visited New York and Boston.
Mrs. AIcNaTy and the rest OF the fam
lily are spending the summer at Noun

THE DEAD

AS the result OF an automobile
catastrophe two miles west of West
chester, Indiana, last Sunday morn
ing, Mr.. and Mrs Harvey Beougher
we'll known elderly residents OF the
west end of Jefferson township, are
dead, and their son-in-law and daugh-
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Monroe, al
so of West Jefferson, are badly in
jured.
The automobile party, in a new
Ford, driven by Mr.. Monroe, were on
their way to visit Mr.. and Mrs.
Beougher's son, Jesse, and family, at
New Castle, Ind. 4.
While going down a rather steep
grade, Mr.. Monroe suddenly noticed
a bad hole in the road, and applied
the brakes to save hitting the hole.
The brakes took such hold that the
rear of the car was swung around
throwing the occupants out.
Mr. and Mrs. Dee Beougher and
Daniel Freeman, of Ft. Recovery,
were in another machine only several
hundred feet ahead. One of their
party saw the accident and they hur-
rled back to find all the occupants of
the wrecked car unconscious.
They were carried into nearby
farm house and two Portland physi-
clans and an ambulance summoned.
All the injured excepting Mrs.
Beougher shortly regained conscious
ness.
The physicians found that Mr..
Beougher's chest was badly crushed |
and that he was injured internally; |
that Mrs. Beougher's right arm was
broken, her head cut open and she
was probably injured internally; that
Mr.. Monroe's left wrist was sprained,
rib fractured and his face was liter
ally cut to pieces; that Mrs. Monroe
had sustained a bad hip bruise, but
was otherwise uninjured.
Mr.. and Mrs Beougher were plac-
ed in the ambulance and brought, at
the request of Mr.. Beougher, to the
Monroe home.
Mr. B0bugher talked tA the physi-
clan on the way home, but became
suddenly unconscious when near the
Monore home, and died as they were
removing him from the ambulance.
Mrs. Beougher lived until shortly af-
ter eleven o'clock Sunday night. She
never fully regained consciousness.
The deceased have both been life
long residents of the county. Mr..
Beougher was a veteran of the Civil
War. Both have been in feeble
health for the past year and this was
partly the cause of their injuries
proving fatal.
They are survived by nine children
Dee, of Ft. Recovery; Jesse, of
New Castle, Ind; Charles, of Cold
water; Chester, of this city; Lawr-
ence, residing in Nebraska; Rev. S. L.
of Truro, Iowa; Mrs. w. NJ Monroe;
Mrs. Irwin Conner, of this city; and
Mrs. Benjamin Conner, of Neptune.
Funeral services were held at Wal
nut Chapel yesterday afternoon, with
Rev. c. S. Johnson and G. M. Sill in
charge. The remains were inferred
IN one grave at Swamp College.
