RUNAWAY MULES
DRIVER THROWN FROM WAGON.
NO BONES BROKEN

A recent letter to Mr.. and Mrs. d.
T. Pointer of 61S Sixth avenue East
gives the details regarding an acct
dent in which their son George was
the victim. He enlisted last April, be-
fore he was subject to draft, and is a
member Of Battery c, SOD Field Ar
tillery, stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas,
wheer the accident occurred. He
was driving a four mule team when
the front team broke loose from the
coupling and plunged forward, pulling
George from his seat on the wagon
and throwing him between the other
mules. He was kicked and trampled,
and the wagon passed over him. He
was picked up in an unconscious con-
dition and taken to the hospital. An
X-ray examination revealed the fact
that no bones were broken, but some
severe internal injuries existed. The
letter further states that he is now on
the road to recovery.

BIG WORK IN SIGHT THE NAVAL SCHOOL
GRADUATION DAY FOR THE BOYS
OF THE SEA.

Typical of the various officers
schools from which many of our local
soldier and sailor boys have gradual
cd, it is interesting to read this ac-
count of the occasion wherein Leon
ard L. Snyder was made an Ensign in
the U. S. Navy. A Norfolk, Virginia,
paper says:
"Congratulating the 102 young men
who today received their diplomas as
ensigns of the United States navy at
the Naval Base auditorium, Rev. DR..
L. d. Mendoza, of Ohef Shclom Tenn
pie, said that the modern navy is one
with a high mission--that of keeping
the peace of the world and protecting
the country from invasion, in which
| it greatly differs from the naval
forces of the past centuries which
went about seeking conquest. DR..
Mendoza made wonderful address
which was received with great APP
plause by the new ensigns and their
guests.
"The newly made officers are grad
yates of the Officers Material School
of which Captain John G. Quinby is
Superintendent and the diplomas were
received from his hands following the
address of DIR. Mendoza The exer.
cises began at o'clock with bat.
talon formation in front of the
school. The men then marched to
the auditorium where the graduating
exercises were held.
1.-The line of march was reviewed
by Admiral Dewitt Coffman, com
mandant of the Fifth Naval District
and other high officers. Officers and
men then proceeded to the auditorium
where march was rendered by the
Station orchestra as the battalion
entered the hall. DR.. Mendoza ther
opened the exercises with prayer, af
ter which the men were sworn in b!
Captain Quinby and presented will
their diplomas. Then followed a mu
steal number by the orchestra, aftel
which DR.. Mendoza made his master
full address" 49,.

REV. TUsSEY DEAD.
HELPED TO ORGANIZE THE oS
kALooSA cHAUTAuoUA.

Rev. James S. Tussey, who helped
organize the Oskaloosa chautaIqua,
and managed the first assembly in
1906, died suddenly recently. He was
born at Alexandria, Pa, April 81, 1862.
He graduated from Grove City College
in 1892 and from the United Presby-
terrain Seminary of Xenia, Ohio, 1895.
Direct from the Seminary he went to
Greenfield, Ohio. OF his twenty-three
years in the ministry all but four We're
spent in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.
Mr.. Tussey had attended presbytery
the week of his death, which occurred
October 5th. Immediately after dinner
on that day he went to the garden to
dig potatoes. Shortly after one o'clock
he was found dead, the cause being
pronounced heart trouble. Interment
was at the old home church, McAlevy's
Fort, Pa There was no public funeral
because of influenza precautions.
Rev. Tussey had an unusual zeal for
the church of God, and great love
for the honor and glory of his Master.
He was a tireless worker and an earn
est preacher. AS a community worker
| he left his mark. He established a
chautauqda at Columbus City, Iowa
while he was pastor there, and other
communities, among them Oskaloosa
secured him to help establish chau.
tauquas. The people at Dunbar, Ne
braska knew something of Mr.. Tus
sey's unceasing earnestness and extra
ordinary courage, as temperance
worker. AS home missionary at Poole
and Majors, Nebraska, he most dill
gently worked against many ditticul
ties. Mr.. Tussey was pastor at Mexico
Pa, for little more than year before
his death. Willing to work to his limit
he only recently took on the addition
al work of carrying on the Lewiston
mission.
Those who attended the Oskaloosa
chautauqua during its early days viii
recall Rev. Tussey's name, as we'll as
the names of Revs. T. V. Dugan, j
| w. Somerville, S. H. Zendt, Alexander
Corkey, Cato Kaye and c. G. Petri.
