The strikes on the E. F.
Sweeney 40 south of this city in

so satisfactory that the company

velopments. Three holes have
been drilled out and the strikes
have been made at the lib foot
level. The drill has continued
from that depth to 172 feet in
the ore badly. Those who have
seen the ore declare that the for
nation is like that of Picher.
The first shaft is down 73 feet
and the boilers are being bricked.

Figures compiled by Bert W.

effect that the average recovery
of zinc and lead ore in the Okla

shown by sixty-six mills now in
operation, is 6.075 per cent, At
being zinc blende and 1875 lead,
says the Joplin Globe.
Four mills of the Oklahoma
section of the field sho we'd a re-
covery of more than 10 Ler cent,
while nine showed a recovery of
less than 2 per cent. A majority
of the mills reported lead as well
as jack, and two reported lead
recoveries of more than 5 per
cent. The association figures
show that there are eighty-three
completed mills in the Oklahoma
field, but seventeen are Temporal

OBERT OUT ON BOND
Unavoidable Accident He De-
clares. Preliminary Hear
ing Tomorrow. r Y

John Obert Of Coffeyville,
charged with manslaughter in the
fourth degree, in connection with
the death of William Hobson in
this city last week, was arraigned
before Justice of the Peace John
Jones last Thursday and his pre-
liminary hearing set for Friday,
October 13. Late Thursday night
Obert was released under $4,000
bond furnished by one of his Cof-
feyville friends.
At the time of the accident
Obert was driving eastward on
River street and Hobson was
crossing the street. From the
tracks Of the wheels of the ma
chine 1t appears that Obert left
the middle of the street near the
scene of the accident and started
to 90 nearer to the curb, declares
Ben Hobson, the father. After
the accident. according to the
same statement made to the re-
porter of this paper, it appears
that the driver again directed his
machine to the middle of the
street and made his way off. He
made no attempt to give aid of
any kind to the man whom he
had knocked down and dragged
some distance.
Mr.. Hobson also declar eS that
when Obert reached the bridge,
where he had to slow up on ac-
count of machines coming from
the opposite direction, one Of the
occupants, a woman, got off the
car and started back to find out
the condition of the injured man.
Obert, however, commanded her
to get back into the car, saying:
"We've got to beat it." Further,
| it is C aimed that Obert, in trying
( to disguise his tracks, asked the
way to Joplin, when he did not
90 there nor was he intending to
go. By this inquiry he misled
the city marshal, Henry Horton,
who chased the man to Joplin,
but in vain.
Mr.. Hobson further declared
to the reporter that had the man
stopped and treated his son kind
ly he probably would have ad
little to say. Mr.. Hobson is the
contractor for H. H. Halsell ol
this city. He and his son cane
from Decatur, Texas. Mr.. Hal.
sell has unreseved confidence ir
the honesty and integrity Of the
man. The Hobsons belong to
one OF the most respectable fam.
lilies in Decatur and have the
good will of the whole community
in which they live, and becausC
of this the death of William Hob
son leaves behind the man many
mourneD.

BAXTER To HAVE.
PAVED STREETS
City Council Passes Resolutions
for Radical improvements

Baxter Springs is to have paved
streetsl Seven resolutions passed
by the city council at an adjourn
ed meeting last week was the
first step taken to that effect.
According to these resolutions,
streets covering practically 40
blocks will be paved.
These resolutions do not mean
that the paving will be started
in the near future. 1t will take
nearly six months to shape up
the necessary ordinance, before
actual paving can commence,
declared Mayor Wright. The
resolution will have to be
published in The News, which is
the official city paper, for four
weeks. Then 20 days later an
ordinance will have to be passed
and printed in the paper. An
other four weeks must elapse
after the publication of that
ordinance before the city can
advertise for bids to sell the
bonds. Then it will require four
weeks to advertise for bids on
contracts for the construction of
the work. Then it will require
four weeks more to fix up con-
tractors bonds and cover other
details. All these combined, it
means that paving cannot be
started before April l, 1918.
knowing these delays" the
Mayor states, I'VE have started
shaping matters now so that no
unnecessary delay will be had.
The city council has got to follow
the rules laid down in the statute
books of the state and there is no
other way to get paving for the
city streets except following the
laws of the state

CITY SELLS
SEWER BONDS
Five Firms Submit Bids-Wa-
ter Problem Still Unset.
tled-Municipal Plant
Advocated

The bonds for the city main
sewer system were sold by the
city council at its regular meet
ing Tuesday night to Spite q
Co. The exact amount OF the
bonds cannot be determined un-
til the trunk line sewers are COM
pleted, but the above firm ac-
cording to its proposal will
finance the proposition by fur
nishing the money needed as the
work progresses, charging six per
cent interest for the period the
money is in use up to the COM
pletion of the work. At that
time the city will issue bonds for
the full amount, such bonds to
bear 4 3-4 per cent interest from
November l, 1917. For attor-
neys, brokers and other expenses
connected with the sale of these
bonds the council authorized and
payment of 2 1-2 per cent OF the
face value of the bonds. The
amount of the bonds necessary
to build the main, sewers and the
laterals is estimated to run some
thing oyer 100000. Before the
deal is entirely closed the proce-
dure will have to undergo the
scrutiny of the company's ex-
perts. This will require about
two weeks. Eids for construc-
tion of the sewers will be opened
October 18.
The matter of awarding the
franchise for a water plant,
which was scheduled for settle
ment at this meeting, was again
deferred because the committee
considering the two franchises
had not reached a satisfactory
conclusion. While the water
problem is being delayed senti-
ment for a municipal water plant
is growing stronger from day to
day. To may citizens who have
been watching the proceedings
it has become plain that neither
of the parties seeking the fran
chise is prepared to spend the
money necessary to give Baxter
the kind of a water plant that is
needed. Once granted the fran
chise, however, each hopes to get
by in some way until the plant
can be sold out. The only thing
for the city to do is to go ahead
and install a water plant of its
own, and in fact, it appears that
all that is needed to bring this
about is for some public spirited
citizen to circulate a petition for
an election to vote on the ques-
ton of issuing bonds for a muni-
cipal water plant.
