FALLS FROM TRAIN
INSTANTLY KILLED
William Roy Hicks, Waiter at Annex
On Way to Harvest-Was
Riding Blind on No. 3

William Roy Hicks, better known
as Barney Hicks, aged 18 years, fell
from No. 3 Friday night, while going
west with a number of friends to
work in the harvest. He had been
working at the Annex Cafe and for a
while at the Pullman where he made
many friends.
The baggage man on No. saw the
boys on the train and later saw Bar
ney fall. He notified the conductor
what had happened and upon arriving
at the next stop-Hooker. wire was
sent to Liberal notifying Mr.. Rezeau
of the Rock Island who went after
the boy. The accident occurred four
miles west of town. 1t is thought
that Hicks met death instantly as his
shoulder and head were crushed by
the fall,
The remains were prepared for
shipment to San Antonio, Tex where
relatives resided.
A floral Offering was given by his
Liberal friends.

The meeting held at the court
house last Thursday night for the
purpose of discussing the proposed

The site chosen is the Gardner lots

THE OIL BOOM is
GOING STRONG NOW
Leases Hitting The Sky. Fever Is
High and No Prospects of
Abatement Soon
MANY TESTS NOW IN
PROSPECT HERE
From Four to Six Wells Probabil-
ity Before Snow Flies. Tests
To Start Soon

Liberal will soon be the center of
of a real oil field if all the develop
ments of the past week materialize.
All week there have been sWarms
of lease hunters here picking up acre
age, and many good pieces have
changed hands at from $25 to $50
per acre.
1t would seem that the excitement
which was considered by many as
excitement only, is developing into a
determined attempt to really prove
the country for oil and gas, and
while there is little definite informa-
ton to be given, we are at liberty
to give a hint of what is about to
happen.
The deal has been closed for the
drilling of two tests by the ElDorada
Development Company, one east of
Tyrone and one south of Tyrone, our
neighbor on the south.
Oil men are blocking acreage near
Kismet with good success, and if the
folks up that way come across as they
should, Kismet will have a test going
before long, and it is very favorable
right now
Another bunch are blocking near
Hayne northeast, of Liberal few
miles and we are informed that a
contractor has agreed to drill if the
block can be completed.
Over in Stevens county the fever
has spread and a block of acreage
is being gotten together for a test.
Another deal of" which we could
;,,fn ie
to be on foot north of Liberal on the
Cimarron We are told that several
hundred acres of leases have been
blocked with the understanding that
four tests will be drilled.
Oil men are. here from all over the
country and while they are not talk
ative bunch we learn that they are
buying acreage. The home people
are also busy and are overlooking no
bets.
The Traders test is still shut down
waiting for fishing tools, and there is
no information as to the date of
starting.
The Seward County Oil and Gas
Company has received part of their
material and expect to have the bal
ance here in time to begin drlillng
next week
The Beaver Oil Gas Company also
expect to resume operations the COM
ing week. They have been having
trouble in getting parts for their ro-
ary drill but these have been shipped
by express and they will soon be
ready to go.
The wise heads still shake dubious
ly. but the farmers who have received
nice checks from the sale of leases,
as we'll as the local fellows who have
made nice commissions are jubliant
over the prospect.
Since some real oil men are here
and getting into the game it begins
to look as if things were about to
pop.

New Conditions for War Risk In
surance Now Effective

New conditions under which lapsed
or cancelled War Risk Insurance may
be reinstated, Of vast Importance to
millions of former service men, are
announced by Director r. G. Chol-
meley-Jones, of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance.
Under the former ruling ex-service
men had only until July /, 1920, to
reinstate their insurance, but under
this new ruling the time is extended
until January |, 1921, under GER
tain conditions, without physical ex-
amination), and to July l, 1921, un-
der certain conditions without ply
sical examination report accompany
ing application.)
Every ex-service men should take
advantage of these liberal terms of
the War Risk Insurance Department.
1t is he best and cheapest insurance
obtainable. Blanks for reinstatement
or conversion can be obtained from
the Adjutant of The American Le-
.gion, or from w. B. King. 1t will pay
you to look into this.

school facilities are equal to the best.
Liberal Is church town, with beau
iful church homes, and demand the
best pastors in the circuit.
Liberal is a church town. Back in
the years prior to 1887 there were no
resident pastors, as ntinerant came in
stated intervals. But in the winer
OF 1887 a preacher named C. +. West
held revival meeting in a little sod
die a mile and half south of the
present townsite. Following this a
Methodist Episcopal church was or
ganlzed. Today that congregation
is large and virile. The Baptist have
a $4,000 home and a large member
ship. The Christian church has prop
erty probably the most beautiful and
modern in the city. The Catholic
church had its beginning in the win
ter of 1888. when Father Healey es-
tablshed mission here. In June,
1915 the present building was ded--
Gated The first Presbyterian church
was organized in Liberal in 1888. For
a long time it was the only church
building in Liberal The Friends
Church was started in the spring of
1911. The present building was ded-
icated in April 1915. The st. An
drews Mission and the Adventists
have good congregations and COM
Portable homes. The Christian Scien-
tiest too, have regular meetings.
1t is estimated that two-thirds of
the city are church members and
church supporters; the same proper
tion is among the rural districts.
All Of the leading fraternities are
represented in the city.
Liberal has a motorized fire de-
partment well, equipped and has been
instrumental in keeping he fire key
rate to a minimum.
Liberal is also the home of Co. F.,
4th Inf. X. N. G., and they have a
well equipped Armory.
The city has many clubs and soci-
eties but she has not a stronger or
lganiZaton than the Woman's Club
which was organized in 1902. No
Club in the city is more beneficial or
more pubic spirited
The court house is two story
brick with twelve large rooms. The
building was completed in 1908.
Liberal has two hospitals-the Nor
row hospital and the Liberal hospital
The combined capacity in the grain
elevators of which here are five is
100000 bushels and the mill which
runs night and day turns out 110C
bushels of wheat flour daily.
Liberal is a division point for the
Rock Island railroad which has a mil
lion dollar investment here in shops,
roundhouse and equipment which
gives permanent pay roll. There is
also the Greir hotel and eating house.
Another leading hotel is the New
Sanford under the management of
R. U. Robbins. Both hotels are mod
ern in every respect. These are the
two commercial hotels of the city.
There are many others, besides a
number of rooming houses.
Among other industries the city
has a steam laundry, bakery and
wholesale house, and every line of
business is well represented.
So you have a picture of Liberal,
a good town to live in, good town
to invest in. A healthy own, a desir-
able city, the center of an agricul-
tural district with new advantages
coming day after day, chief among
the new things are the three oil com
panies drilling within close proximity
of the city and the new railroad from
Forgan, Okla.

NEW SANFORD CAFE
OPENS TO-DAY
Experienced Restaurant Man To Do
Business in Hotel Sanford

]. w. Collins, a former restaurant
man, opened a cafe in the dining
room of the Hotel Sanford this morn
ing, and will appreciate the patron
age of those who wish to dine there.
Mr.. Collins knows what the people
want when it comes to service and he
will no doubt draw his share of the
business.
The city is growing to such an eX-
tent that another cafe will not in any
way hurt the other eating houses.
The Democrat welcomes him to the
business life of the city.

SMASHED BABY BUGGY

A woman was driving along Kansas
avenue at the corner of Second street
Monday morning, and at the same
time another lady pushing a baby
buggy was attempting to cross the
street when the car ran into the
buggy and ruined it for further use.
The baby fortunately fell backwards
and the mother caught it, or else an
other tragedy would have been re-
ported.
