CAUGHT BY ELEVA-
VOR ELMER HAYES
HASNARROW ESCAPE
Employee Of the Traxel-GlascOck Com
pany Is Crushed Between Elevator
and Floor Of Bulldlng-May
Be Seriously Injured.

Elmer Hays. we'll known local man,
an employee OF the Traxel-Glascock
Company had very narrow escape
from instant death this morning at the
companys plant in West Third street
when he was caught between an ele-
vator and one of the floors of the
building.
Hays with a number of other em-
playees was descending on the eeval-
tor. Hays allowed the elevator to pass
the floor he desired to leave and when
the elevator was a couple of feet be-
low the level of the floor he stepped up
to the floor, losing his balance he fell
hanging to the floor. and the top Of the
elevator cab. which was still going
down, caught his back and was crush
ing him between the cab and the floor
when one of the men on the elevator
had presence of mind enough to re-
verse the elevator and release the un-
fortunate man from the wise into
which his body was being pressed.
When Hays was lifted from the floor
he was unconscious and thought to be
very seriously injured Physicians
were called and a hasty examination
disclosed that he was not injured as
badly as it was at first thought al
though It may yet develop that he is
injured internally.
This was certainly a most narrow
escape for Mr.. Hays, for had the ele'
vator descended couple of inches
farther his life would have beer
crushed out

As was predicted In the Public Led
ger several months ago, DR.. w. S.
Yazell, of this city, who represented
Mason county in the State Legislature
in its last session, has become an
avowed candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congressman from the
Ninth Congressional District. The ne

with the Secretary of State this week
and his nawe will apper on the ballots
in the August primary So far DIR.
Yazell is the only Republican candi-
date to file papers and Congressman
w. ]. Fields is the only Democrat to
file. ~
DR.. Yazelrs ability is too well
known in his own county to need any
discussion here. 1t was known by his
fellow citizens before they sent him to
Frankfort last year but his stay in
Frankfort and his activity there has
let HIS ability become known all over
the entire district. There were few
men at Frankfort who we're held in
higher esteem by their colleagues than
was DR.. Yazell and no more important
legislation was enacted during the ses-
sion of the Legislature than that Of
fered and supported by the man from
Mason county. His support of all pro-
gressive measures before the Legisla-
tIre has gained for him a reputation
second to no legislator at Frankfort in
the last session.
DR.. Yazell proposes to open an ag-
gressive campaign next week and he
will carry his campaign into every
county in the entire district. Mason
county. his home. Fleming County his
birthplace. and Lewis county Rhere he
spent much of his young manhood will
stand solidly behind him in this cam.

CUP Won IN
RACE NOTTHE.
CHIEF POINT
Great Confidence Placed in
Lipton's Boat by Mrs.
Burton.

New York, June 1i.--one Of the
mitigating circumstances in the life
Of E yacht and p~rodigiously
successful trophy hunter is the fact
that not every cup is q cup.
At least this is the opinion OF Mrs.
Burton. associate" skipper of Sir
Thor.as Lipton's cup contender,
Shamrock ". who is here to help her
husband, Captain ". NJ. Burton, try
for the trophy which .. has reposed
west OF the Atlantic since 1855. Her
paradoxical. sounding opinion was ut
:.erci seriously.
Happily ONT of them are salverA
:ea services and what not" she said.
Imagine the housewifely task Of
polishing something like a thousand
ours Of embossed silver"
Having the cups is very fine. Mrs.
Edrtcr siys. but the real joy Of the
thing is the race Since her marriage,
Mrs. Burton has not missed a race
With her husband who declares he'd
us soon sail a race without his topsail
Is leave his wife behind.
Mrs. burton was reticent as to the
precise sea duties of an associate
skipper.
" stand in the companionway just
beyond the wheel and l always know
that everything is coming gu right
and that we are going to win," she
finally explained.
She said h never suffered from
nervousness n never, never dreamed
Of making suggestions to her husband
G.. in any way j~ist-actinE his attention
from the minutiac OF his duties as
helmsman.
There could be nothing more out
of place on a racing yacht han an
e%xcitable. unstrung I am
always perfectly calm, and confident
and enjoy it thoroughly.
During my first experiences in
yacht sailing | used to get a bit per-
turbed and wrought up and I suppose
there will never again be anything so
thrilling as the first one Of all, when
we raced an old fashioned ton
affair-but that was long ago"
Mrs. Burton was full Of confidence
in the speed OF the latest Shamrock
which is milk any yacht that has
ever sailed for the America trophy.
1T is not in the least like any other
yacht that was ever made she ad-
mitted, but my husband and be-
lieve it is. invincible. and we count on
winning that coveted mug this time"
