TURN DOWN $2,500 CLAIM
MADE BY INJURED MAN

Enid Okla.-Claim of $2,5OO for
hospital and nursing bill for Jack
Seely hurt last May when knocked
off the motorcycle of a city speed
cop, was turned down by the city
commissioners after hearing the facts
on the case from Frank Herndon,
city attorney, Monday morning
Seely has had three amputations
on his left leg and it is thought
that another will still be necessary
to save his life
The accident occurred May 25,
when Traffic Officer Davis went to
the Frisco depot to inform Seely
that the chief of police wished to
see him. The officer, contrary to
orders, according to AL Thrasher,
chief of police, invited Seely to ride
with him on the motor cycle if he
wished to go to the station then
Davis was not then really on duty
for the city. Thrasher claims as
this was before noon and he did not
usually start work until noon daily.
He also held no warrant for the ar
rest of lSeely, and the boy came to
the station voluntarily.
The motor cycle was going at a
rate of 25 miles an hour, going south
on north independence when it was
struck squarely by a grocery deliv-
cry truck and both Seely and Davis
were thrown off. Davis was un-
hurt except for a few bruises, but
Seely suffered a fractured ankle. He

were made to stop the progress of
the disease in the leg.
A claim for the hospital, surgical
and nurses fees was filed with the
city some time ago.

AMERICANS VISIT VOLCANO
NEAR MEXICAN CAPITAL

Mexico City.-The question which
has been violently agitated in the
newspapers recently, whether Mt. Pc.
pocatepetl Is smoking apparently has
been settled in the affirmative by
various persons who within the past
few days have ascended this famous
volcanic mountain
Eel Universal several days ago an
nounced that "Popo", which is the
nickname the Mexicans have given
to the mountain, was in state Of
eruption, was emitting much smoke
and steam. Other papers denied the
story, asserting that Universal's re-
porter had merely seen cloud hang
ing over the mountain.
The argument was not settled until
four Americans from Mexico City
spent four hazardous days climbing
the mountain, the trip being so ar
duous that one, an itinerant photo
grapher from Milwaukee, died later
from exposure.
According to Henry e. Juergens,
"Popo" is in state of mild erup-
tion, emitting steam and smoke at
intervals but no lava. It's crater is
about 800 feet in diameter and 1000
feet deep and descent into the
crater may be made for several hun
dred feet. There is a continual
rumbling and groaning inside the
mountain with occasional heavings
during which huge bolders at the
bottom of the crater are lifted sew
eral hundred feet.
The ascent of the mountain is
made by way of Amecameca, a II
small village at its base. Mules car
ry the climbers to timber line over
a thin trail and from there is it an
oxhausting struggle through knee
deep snow coated with a deceptive
covering of sand The four Ameri-
cans made the ascent from timer
line in six hours.

days ago. Baldwin has a cash under
his eye and one on his cheek, which
are declared not 10 be serious by
the doctor in attendance.
Baldwin was standing in a drug
store in conversation with some 9th
er customers, according to the story
told by witnesses, when Barnes en-
tered, walked up to him and without
warning struck at him with the axe
handle, knocking MIN to the floor.
Barnes is said to have been angry
at Baldwin because the latter had
passed him in car on the road
without giving enough space. barnes
claims that Baldwin hit the wagon
which he was driving, but Baldwin
denies that this is the case. Barnes
was driving a wagon and team to-
warn Adamson when Baldwin passed
him about a mile from Adamson in

an hour later.

Then the click of the ice cream scoop pauses and you hear the white-coated dispenser drawl; "Yes, ma am; it is something like phosphate. and it has ice cream in it"
 Yes, ma'am, it's an American drink. '
 Excuse me, I don't get you. Yes, ma am, I'm American and this was my business on the other side.'

Leedy, Jr, formerly of Bir- mingham, is now in Florida, after a stay of several months in Mobile, and thinks it likely he will reside here permanently.
 The women of Mobile are up in arms at many cases of profiteering in every thing that goes to make up living and are preparing written complaints and vouchers to be handed to proper per sons. One belligerent dame was almost sputtering in her denunciation of cer- tain shops. She priced a gallon freezer at one place. $6.50, another $7.50 and bought one for 50. Another case is of so-called nurses who charge $5 per day whether they know one end of ther- mometer from the other or not, simply taking advantage of the sick person and family.
 Mobile is spring-like now with green grass, a few Azalias and others bud ding. The azalias at the old Ketchum are worth coming miles to see, as are those at Spring Hill. This home is now occupied by a charming woman. Miss Mary Tilney of New York. who spares no effort to beautify the grounds.
