Chester Kinney Accidently Killed
Last Friday
Body Was Shipped to This City and
Funeral Was Held Today. Was
a Fine Young Man.

To escape the dangers of 60
ing through the world war as
one of Uncle Sans fighting boys
and return to this country to be
accidently killed in peaceful oc-
cupation was the fate of Chester
Kinney. age n years, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James N. Kinney
of this city. The telegram an
nouncing the sudden death of
Mr.. Kinney was received in this
city last Saturday morning, hav-
ing been sent by George Berge,
companion of Chester Kinney,
who was working with him in
the oil fields. but it was not un-
til Mr.. Berge arrived in this city
with the body that the details of
the accident which caused the
young mans death was learned.
Chester Kinney, accompanied
by George Berge, left this city
on December l4th, for the Texas
oil fields, where the two decided
to learn the oil game from the
ground up. With this view in
mind they located at Burk-
burnett, Texas, where they se-
cured employment in the oil
fields as operators.
1t was at four o'clock on the
afternoon of Jan: 10Th that Mr..
Kinney met with accident which
caused his death six hours later.
He was operating a rotary drill,
being the man who pulled the
levers which engaged the clutch
on the friction drive. The
power was temporarily shut off
while the drill was being replaced
for further operation. The
power for the drill was furnished
by an engine located some dis
tance from the drilling rig and a
chain drive was used. Because
of a slight friction which caused
the rotary drill to revolve slight
ly a crow bar was used tenn
porarily to keep this disc sta
tionary, and before starting,
this crow bar was always re-
moved, but this time someone
forgot to remove the crow bar
and as Chester pulled the levers
which engaged the clutch the
crow bar came around with a
terrific force, striking Chester
across the forehead.
Mr.. Berge was working with
night crew and was off duty at
the time of the accident, but
thought he would go over for a
visit with his old friend Chester
before retiring, and was within
thirty feet of Kinney when the
accident occurred. He saw
Chester fall and rushed over to
see what was the trouble when
he discovered the accident.
The oil field where the accident
occurred is about twelve miles
northwest of Burkburnett and
Berge and company men rushed
Chester to Burkburnett where
he was given first aid and he
was placed upon special train
and rushed to the General hos
pital at Wichita Falls, Texas,
where an operation was per-
formed by eminent surgeons
but the injury was so severe
that Chester passed away on the
operating table.
The body was brought to this
city Tuesday afternoon and the
funeral service was held from
the Kinney residence on Thurs
day afternoon at two o'clock, in
terment taking place in Wood
land cemetery.
Chester Kinney was as fine q
young man as one would want
to meet. He was born and
raised in Washburn and gradu-
ated from the Washburn High
School. When the United States
went to war he enlisted and

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. s.
Tennessee Will ratify woman suffrage.
This Is the belief OF leading poll
tlcians. suifragists. editors and citizens
generally.
Il means that Tennessee will
be the S6th state. and stimuli
taneously with ratification TO-
100000 more women in America
viii become voters. to add their
strength to the 100000 who
already vote with state suffrage.
Hundreds OF kilograms received
here BY suffraglsts and officials show
that there Is confusion In other states
on two things:
One-will there actually be
special session OF the Tennessee
Legislature?
Two--When?
Special Session Aug. o.
Although Governor a. II. Roberts
hasn't actually Issued the call for "A
special session. he will do 80 August
s, the day after the primary election.
The legislature Will convene Aug. D.
The reason Roberts ~ waiting to
issue the special session proclamation
is because he Is running for rc-nom-
inatlon and he feels he will have IA
freer hand In writing the proclama-
tlon after his political fate is decided.
However, there In no doubt about his
success In the election.

I'VE have clear majority without
considering the new members who
will occupy 10 vacancies. II there is
any light at all. II will be over
