no between Main and Church Streets
when he was hit by speeding auto
mobile. The car was coming from
he south very rapidly up Main street
and without any warning the old gen
tleman was hit, knocked down and the

friends rushed to his assistance and
earried him into the City Hall build
ng and placed him on a cot until the
arrival of a physician. After giving
The injured man opiates to quite his
nerves and ease his pain, he was carrl-

with painful bruises on his limbs and
body constituted the extent OF injuri-

I've pleasant thoughts that memory

In moments free from care,
0f . fairv-like and cheerful baby boy,
Murray Matthews. 80,
His smile was like the star-lIghV
of summers softest skies,
And worlds Of joyousness there
shone
From out his witching eyes.
His looks were looks of melody,
His voice was like the swei@
OF sudden music. notes Of mirth'
That of wild gladness tell.
He came like spring, with pleasant
sounds
Of sweetness and of mirth,
frowery ones
That linger not or earth,
No not of his destiny,
Or where his smiles now strays,
But the thoughts of his comes over
me
with my own lost sunny days,
with moonlight hours, and far off
friends,
And many pleasant things.
That have gone the way of all the
And twas on the &hirteenth Of Nov
ember,
I'm sure you1l all remember;
A death angel came flying through
It visited little Murray Matthews,
the air. -
And the angles maneuvered in the
air
Carrying his little soul to the angles
up there,
And we can't understand.
Why littlesMurray was taken
Then they bidus all adicu
And for Heaven they flew; =.

prayer.

WINONA WELL

The Winona Times says that few
weeks ago some of the Preston Oil
Company's "high ups" came down
and promulgated an order, we under
stand, that no information should be
given out about the well they are
drilling east of the city. Since then
those connected with the enterprise
have very little to say about it. A
wire fence has been placed around
the well site and sign posted: "Ask
no questions and Keep Off the Der
rick" We have not been out to the
we'll recently. There may be other
signs posted that tend to guard the
secrecy of the work of this company.
We understand that they are drill

KICK m

These proven fields now spouting oil
Were wildcat once, just common SOIL
Until a man who had the nerve,
Anr from his purpose never swerve
For all the knockers in the land
Until his drill had found the sand
That put the works upon the square
And made the man a millionaire.
Then the knockers, great and small
Their rotton luck began to bawl,
And every mesly tightwad hog
Saw in the man a lucky dog.
They couldn't see it wasn't luck,
But common sense and bulldog pluck,
And building castles in the air
That made the man a millionaire.
For YOU the same chance stands today
To make the liquid god sands pay.
If you've the nerve to take tiier
To boost your bank account up higher
Oil will your pocket fill
If you will help to push the drill,
"Faint hearts never won maiden
fair"
Nor cold feet made millionaire.

far in perfecting the plans he then
had in view. He has claimed from

this section of the county will, when
thoroughly tested, prove to be the
producer of the largest oil fields IN
the United States.
