FIVE HOURS UNDER
OVERTURNED FORD

Pinned under an overturned auto
mobile for six hours, experiencing the
shock of gasoline tank exploding
directly over him and suffering great
pain caused in attempting to extricate
himself. were sensations not appre-
c;ated by Warren E. Cole of McDer-
nitt last night.
Cole was driving in from McDer-
mitt alone last night. After he had
crossed the summit OF the hill this
side of Toll House, the Ford car
which he was driving suddenly got
away from him, probably caused by
hitting rock, ran off the road into
a gulley about a foot deep and over
turned into ditch about six feet be-
low the road. Cole was pinned under
the wheel, dash and back of front
seat.
The motor ran for about ten min
utes after the accident, in the mean
time the water running out of the
radiator The consequence was a
greatly overheated motor, causing the
explosion of the gasoline tank, which
is located under the front seat and
directly over the spot where Cole was
pinned. That the gasoline did not
take fire is considered miraculous by
Cole, in which event he would surely
have been burned to death. Serious
consequences were again faced by
reason of the fact that the gasoline
fumes were SO strong as to nearly
overcome the man.
Finally, after a great deal of strug-
Cling, Cole secured a piece of the
broken glass windshield and dug him.
self out
The accident occurred about 7:3(
pm. and it was 1:2O o'clock this
morning when Cole finally extricated
himself, period of five hours and
fifty minutes. AS soon as he could
Cole walked to Winnemucca, got an
other car and driver, returned to the
scene of the wreck and towed the
Ford to Winnemucca.
Cole is able to be around today
although suffering from an injured
foot and a cash in his side. Internal
injuries are possible. He says the
one thing he is thankful for is thai
he did not have a passenger with him
IL the front seat, as the position oi
the car leads to the belief that such
passenger would surely have beer
killed and it is probable Cole would
not have been able to get out. Cole
formerly ran a restaurant in McDer.

ORDER FOR Miners

A letter from Senator c. B. Hen
derson, dated Washington, March 13,
speaks of a matter of particular in
terest to miners of manganese, tung-
sten. pyrite and chrome. Senator
Henderson says, in part:
Public Bill No. 322 provides for
the adjudication apd reimbursement
CT miners entering the field in COM
pliance with requests from the Bu-
reau of Mines. Geological Survey.
Department of the Interior, War In
drstries Board, War Trade Board.
Shipping Board, or Emergency Fleet
Corporation, to supply these minerals
fol the prosecution of the war.
"The sudden ending of the war
found many miners in the West with
extensive plants and development
work, ore blocked out and in dumps,
and in some instances in shipment,
but without a market for their pro-
duct. Congress felt the moral obli-
cation to these patriotic citizens and
provided in Section of this bill for
reimbursement of their losses.
"It would be well to call the atten-
ton of your readers to the fact that
claims, to be considered by the de-
partment. must be filed within three
months after the passage of the act,
or not later than June Q, 1919"

Whereas, sad news has been re-
ceived by the family and friends of
Major W. B. Williamson's untimely
death in France while in the military
service Of his country; and
Whereas Major Williamson was a
devoted and loving husband, a ten
ler and kind father, true and tried
friend and a splendid example of
the blending of many qualities with
legal talent, honor, ability, integrity
and Christian qualities;
Therefore be it resolved by the
bar of Jefferson Davis parish that its
members thereof deeply mourn the
great loss in the death of their
brother lawyer and fellow citizen, and
condole with his beloved and devoted
family in their dark hour of trouble
and affiction, and sympathize to the
depths of their hearts in their great
loss and heavy burden.
There was no more loving husband,
Nor tender and sympathetic father;
Nor gentler or more helpful friend,
Or, patriotic citizen than Major
Williamson.
Be it further resolved that copies
of this resolution be sent to the fam
ily of our deceased member and
brother, and spread on the minutes
of this Court, and that when this
Court adjourns it does so in memory
of the deceased.
