Rev. Talbert to Leave.

Quite a surprise was gwen the
members of the Christian church
when their beloved pastor announced
from the pulpit recently that he had
resigned his charge here in order to
accept a pastorate at Chillicotl'e.
At the official board meeting OF the
church last Wednesday evening Rev.
Talbert presented his resignation
which was reluctantly accepted. and
the board PASSED this resolution
Moved and adopted that we accept
the resignation OF Rev. r, M. Ialbert
and that we congratulate the Chilli
cothe church on securing his services
And it is our desire that he remain
with the Butler church as long as he
can and hold his call to Chillicothe.
Mr.. Talbert has filled the pulpit
of the Christian church for three
wears and he leaves behind him a
work which he has right to be
proud of and which will always be
monument to his untiring efforts
He will long be remembered for hav-
ing published his little paper, The
Christian Courier"
Rev. Talbcrt goes to a much larg-
er field, but it is with regret that he
leaves his host of friends here. The
Times joins his many we'll wishers in
wishing him the best of success. ne
leaves about the first of August.

ED SNIDER SERIOUSLY
INJURED
Well Known Missouri Pacific. En-.
gineer Badly Scalded IN
Wreck.

t. Ed Snider, one of the most popu-
lar men on the Missouri Pacific, was
painfully and seriously burned and
scalded Saturday morning when a
Frisco train crashed into Mr.. Snid-
er's engine at crossing near CRANKY
in Newton county.
Mr.. Snider's left ear was torn from
his head, bone in his left leg was
broken and the flesh on the entire
left side of his body was badly
cooked by the escaping steam and hot
| water.
According to reports reaching TINS
city the collision was in no manner
the fault of Mr.. Snider, but on the
contrary his injuries resulted from his
heroic attempt to save his train
when he saw that the collision was
inevitable.
Mr.. Snider's engine when struck
was overturned and for more than
an hour and half he was pinned be-
meath the wreckage with the escap-
ing boiling water pouring onto his
body and during all that he never
lost consciousness, but on the con-
trary managed to reach the steam
cock and shut off the steam and par
TALLY protect his head and face with
his cap.
MIR. Snider with rare display OF
nerve and fortitude bore the almost
uncomfortable pain of the burns and
injuries with supcrhuman fortitude.
Late reports from Joplin where he
was taken for treatment are to the
effect that his injuries are not neees-
sarly fatal and there are strong
hopes for his survival.
His many friends here, where ht
for many years made his home are
earnestly hoping for the best.
