YOUTH KILLED WHEN
 AND CAR COLLIDE
Women Passengers Faint When Collision Occurs, But None misunderstanding
 Auto Primary Cause

Another tragedy was added to the list of street car accidents yesterday when an incoming East Lake car and an auto met in a head-on collision at Forty-sixth street and First avenue. The accident, which occurred at 10:20 o'clock in the morning, claimed the life of Allen Moore of 1882 Underwood avenue, who was in the auto, and gave the remaining five oc- cupants of the car a severe shaking up.
 When the cars collided near panic oc- cured among passengers on the street get out of the car. The injured parties were rushed to the St. Vincent's hospital, but it was nearly half an hour before the body of young Moore could be extricated from the front trucks of the car, where it had been caught
 The accident occurred near the William son sawTutl, and employees from the mill front trecks of the car before the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power wrecker arrived on the scene.
 When MT. Moore was finally extricated he was still living, and was immediately removed to the St. Vincent's hospital. where it was found necessary to ampu- tate both legs. He was so badly man. gied, however. that small hopes were held out for his recovery, and he died at 4:05 o'clock in the afternoon.
 SHOWED FORFEITURE
 Young Moore regained consciousness before he was removed from the wheels of the car, and his calmness under so great suffering elicited aG- miration from all those who saw him.
 He never gave up, but fought brave ly to the end, and his mother showed almost as remarkable composure as he. She was with him from the time of the accident until his death. Ten min- utes after the operation she was told that there was no hope. Even then she did not break down, but forcing back her tears. bade him good-by with a smile
 Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Ru- hama Baptist church.
 The auto party was made up of young Moore and five boy friends, who were go ing home from school. Frank Beasley sustained deep gash across the left side of the face, and the other occu- pants, Harry Moore, brother of the boy who was killed; Frank Norris, Leonard Laphan, and J. D. Bryant suffered minor injuries. None of the street cal passengers were injured.
 The auto, filled with schoolboys, was going west on First avenue when a stand 1 ing automobile was encountered neal Forty-sxth street. and the driver was forced to cross to the left side of the street to avoid striking it.
 A. l.. Chambee, motorman on the East Lake car declared that he was running very slowly. The auto was going at z good rate of speed, and was completely demolished, being forced several yard. down the track before the street car | Several witnesses testified that the stree

Irrigation Pioneer.
Buffalo" Jones was one of the first
to conceive the possibilities of irriga-
ton in western Kansas. The sys-
TENS he started have been developed
to such an extent that the district is
now one of the finest farming spots
in the state.
Not only did he improve farming
perimenter in stock raising. Jones
was the first to cross the buffalo with
domestic cattle. The hybrid was
called a catalo. 1t was a good beef
animal. a better forager and had a
hide that was almost as valuable as
the pure buffalo. He also originated
a breed of sheep called the Perserino.
a cross between the Persian strain and
the Merino.
Jones was born near Bloomington,
Ill, in January, 1914. He traced his
ancestry back to the Pilgrims and so
seems to have inherited the strain of
the adventurer and pioneer. He came
to Kansas in 1866 and first located
in Doniphan county. He soon moved
further west.
In 1857 he married. Martha Walton,
a descendant of members of the first
colony to settle in Virginia. Two

YELLOWSTONE GAME WARDEN

Charles Jesse Jones, known as
Buffalo Jones, died Wednesday at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Olive
Jones Whitmer. 421 Topeka avenue.
Jones was one of the pioneers who
helped build the state of Kansas. He
has won international fame as a big
game hunter in the western United
States, Alaska and in Africa. He was
also an author, lecturer. farmer and
stockmap. His death is said to be due
to the after effects of African jungle
fever contracted while on a hunting
trip in Africa several years ago.
He was one of the most famous of
buffalo hunters during the period
when great herds of the animals filled
the western plains. When the Union
Pacific built its railroad thru the west,
Jones was engaged to supply the con-
struction crew with fresh buffalo
meat. He killed the animals by hun
dreds. 1t was then that he earned the
appellation, Buffalo" Later when
he saw that the buffalo was doomed
to extinction if something was not
done, he began capturing them alive.
Many of the small buffalo herds now
scattered about the United States are
descendants of the buffalo Jones cap
tured.
