SUE MIDLAND VALLEY RAIL
ROAD IN THREE CASES

On Tuesday Sizer & Gardner of
Monet filed three suits at Tulsa,
Oklahoma, against the Midland VAL
ley for total sum Of $4,000. All
three suits grew out of the striking
of an automobile, owned by Mrs.
Laura Koch, in which she was riding
together with two guests, by switch
engine operated by the Midland Val
ley Railroad Company, at the Thir-
teenth street crossing, at Tulsa, Okla
homa, whereby Mrs. Koch received
severe and permanent injuries for
which she sues for $4,000. Mr.. R. l..
Quinn, who was a guest in the car
was severely and permanently injured
and brings suit for S25,000, and w. d
Biles, another guest in the automobile
was also severely and permanently
injured and he brings suit for $4,000
Three suits will be tried at the, De-
cember term of Court at Tulsa, Okla
homa. The negligence charged in
each case was failure to ring the bell
or sound the whistle while running at
an excessive rate of speed through q
high cut at the street crossing, con-
trary to the city ordinances of Tulsa,

as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this in
stance, one of the farm workmen
entered a 5O-foot sllo which had been
half filled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did. not
come out, another of the hands as
cended into the silo. Neither re-
appeared, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
down.
Fearing an accident, the farm owner
finally climbed into the silo. He also

poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra silo doors and carried him
into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated I'M

No workman should ever enter a
partly ~filled silo, after the ensiled
corn has had an opportunity to de-
yelop poisonous carbon monoXide
gases overnight, until the machine
blower has been started. The fresh
air dilutes and scatters the obnoxious
gases to the extent that they are
rendered harmless After the blower
has been operated for two minutes,
it is perfectly safe for the workmen
to enter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously is not
to wedge the silo doors into place un-
tiI they are needed to prevent the
waste of the ensiled corn. Many
farmers follow the practice of plac-
ing most of the doors before any great
amount of corn Is cut and deposited
in the silo. This prevents free cir.
culation of air through the silo which
in turn, operates to favor the accumu
lation of carbon monoxide and othe'
deadly silo gases.
