TO'PROM0TE
=. OZARK. TRAILS
Pittsburg Delegates Hold Conference
With Batter Springs
Road Boosters

A delegation from Pittsburg repre-
sentirg the city officials and the Of
ficers of, the Ozark Trail Association
came overland to this city Wed. even
ing and met with a number Of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce.
This committee was composed of J..
c. Fowler, NJ. NJ. Hartzell, w. NJ.
Stephenson, A. E. Goldman and F. S.
fisherman. The latter gentleman is
secretary of the Ozark Trails Associa-
tion and lives at Nowata, Okla.
Mr.. fisherman is covering the trail
and organizing for further extensions
Of this highway. Just now the road
lis. .mssksd from St.. Louis to Las
Vagas, N. NJ, and it is proposed to
run branch road into Kansas City,
Pittsburg. TT. Scott and other eastern
Kansas towns are behind this latest
movement, which accounts for the
delegation coming here Wed. night.
The new route as proposed to be
mapped and marked with the familiar
"OT" will leave the Baxter to Joplin
road at Lowell taking a northern
course thru Pittsburg, Fort Scott,
Louisburg and on to Kansas City. To
accomplish this it is proposed to raise
eight thousand memberships between
Miami, Okla, and Kansas City, these
memberships cost apiece and are
good for one year. This money is
used in marking the trail, keeping a
man to each mile of road as q sort of
overseer and further to print road
guide for the use of tourists over the
trail.
A committee in Baxter Springs will
handle the proposition and report to
the Pittsburg people what this district |
will do in the way of funds. On ac-
count of the big permanent road pro-
ject now on here it is doubtful if
much money can be furnished. The
Ozark Trail is only one of several
cross country trails that will hit this
city when once the concrete righway
is completed.

THE CAR BACKED
ONTO THE TRACK
Accident at Galena Due of Mis-
take of Driver of
Car

The Galena Times, of Wednesday
contains the following account of the
auto accident of that day, at that city
in which two people were killed:
"The accident occurred shortly be-
fore 2 o'clock as the eastern bound
Frisco from Wichita to Springfield
due here at 1:45 was nearing the de-
pot.
"Miss Gibbs was 18 years of age
whose home is in lola, Kansas. She
came here several days ago with her
grandmother, Mrs. S. Blizzard, to Wis
it her aunt, Mrs. A. ]. Flynn of 11O5
Elm street and another aunt, Mrs.
Ray Cochran, of Joplin, with whom
she had spent a day or two and who
was bringing her this afternoon to
the home of Mrs. Flynn.
"Signal was given by the f1agman
for the automobile to cross the track
which was done in safety. 1t is the
supposition of those who witnessed
the tragedy that followed that in at
tempting to shift the gears a mistake
was made and the car thrown into re-
verse, causing it to back into the on
rushing train. The engine striking
the car hurled it across the street to
the east, one of the passengers, Miss
Gibbs, being thrown from the car di-
rectly under the engine which passed
over her. body, also the baggage car,
before the train could be stopped,
thus severing the young girls head
from her body.
Seaman, the fiagman, seeing the
danger of the two occupants of the
car, when it began backing endeav-
ored to hold it back and was thrown
onto the pavement, which
crushed his skull.
civilian Seaman, the fagman, who
was also killed was about 60 years
of age and resided on Joplin street
between Second and Third streets. He
is survived by a wife, three sons and
two daughters. Two of the sons,
Samuel and Benjamin, are in the SER
vice with the United States army in
France, the other son, George Sea-
man, resides in Galena. Both daugh-
ters also reside in Galena, one of
whom is Mrs. Dewey Kennedy.

funeral arrangements have been
made"

were used to evacuate wounded men
Of the Thirty-ffth division straight
thru from the advance dressing sta
tion to the evacuation hospitals with
out passing thru the Thirty-ffth divi-
sion triage.
Wounded in Mud
1T also states that the unexpect-
edly heavy rush of casualties made Il
necessary for men to lie upon the
ground in the mud without litters or
blankets and that the unexpected
shortage Of transportation made It
impossible to triage all the men
hence the report of nearly 5000 does
not include them all.
ut relates likewise the fact that
five truck loads of wounded never
reached the triage, but had TO be sent
in an ammunition train direct to the
rear.
"All these matters were discussed
fully on October II, and the report
which l have contains the signature
of the division surgeon of the Thirty
'fifth division, who received 1t 1t that
early date. These facts undoubtedly
came to the war department many
weeks ago.
He Asks More Questions
Gall citizens Of the country realize
that heavy casualties were inevitable
and the report which is gradually be-
ing uncovered reveals the fact that
our gloomiest expectations were more
than realized. / believe that thou
sands of men were lost because there
was lack of protection in the air,
shortage of transportation which
would have made effective artillery
support possible at all stages Of the
battle and other inadequacies Of ma
chinery which sent the American ar
my in the gloomy forest fighting the
best equipped army in the world with
little except infantry arms.
"These facts are well known at
and are well known to Of
icers and men who are now coming
nome. There is no reason for any Oen- p,
.roversy over facts. The country Is
entitled to the truth. Why does the
var department withhold it,"

fire WIPES OUT THE
ABERNETHY LUMBER Yard
Also Causes Total Destruction of Van Du
sen Planning Mill-Loss Aggregates
$4,000 With Partial Insurance.

The lumber plant of the E. C. Abernethy Lumber
company wiped out by fire Sunday, the flames making
acean sweep of the office and buildings and taking prac
ticaly all of the stock The loss was estimated by Mr..
Abernethy to be about $4,000 and he carried about $780,
600 insurance.
The fire also totally destroyed the new planning mill
belonging to George Van Dusen was also burned COM
petely causing loss Of about $4,000 which Mr.. Van
Dusen stated he carried but $4,000 insurance One ma
chine and the small tools were recovered from the plan
ing mill
The home of JAS Kent in the northeast of the
block was razed by order of the fire company to prevent
the flames from crossing the street and destroying some
dwellings and possibly spreading farther Mr.. Kent got
his furniture out but the house is total oss amounting
to perhaps $500
The fire was first discovered in shed used stable
which stood between the finished lumber shed and the
planning mill The fire alarm was turned in and the fire
men responded quickly, but the flames had even that
quickly gotten beyond the possibility of being extingsh-
ed with the stream from the chemical cart and OF course
there was no water to be had at once became appar
ent that the entire property doomed Attention was
then given to an endeavor to keep the fire from spreading
and to saving as much of the stock possible which was
little.
For short period the wind became stronger and the
adjoining buildings the east were endangered but the
wind shifted and carried the flames to the open space
to the north and west
The origin of the fire not known, but incendiarism
is strongly suspected Not than an hour before the
fire was discovered one of the company employees was in
the shed where the fire originated Some one suggested
that he might have spilled burning tobacco from his
pipe but this possibility controverted by the fact that
the man does not smoke.
This fire is the tenth in Baxter Springs within thirty
one days starting with the burning of the Robson lumber
ward on New Years day. careful study of the similar
y of the different bazes at least seven of them leads
to the conclusion that the method was employed on
all of them-all in outbuildings places remote from
possibility Of accidental causes
