Hat Pin Kills Cow

Breckenridge Gazette-Telegram:-
DR.. George. A. Larson, veterinary,
this week called our attention to an
unusual case.
A cow owned by Pos. Warnecke,
living in Shirley's addition, had been
ailing for some time and Mr..
Warnecke called on DR.. Larson. The
doctor told him that the cow would
die in a short time that nothing
could be done for her and that in
his opinion she had swallowed
something which had perforated her
stomach. He asked Warnecke to call
him when the COW died, in order that
he might perform a post mortem ex-
animation.
The cow died Monday night and
yesterday DR.. Larson held post
mortem and discovered that the COW
had swallowed a lady's hatpin and
that this had worked through the
wall of the stomach and that almost
four inches of the pin was imbedded
in the cows heart. ."
The moral of this story would
seem to be that cows should leave
hatpins for use by the females Of the
human race.

General conditions in the live
stock trade thus far this week have
been encouraging to producers. A
moderate increase in aggregate mar
kets of cattle at leading centers has
been we'll received, hogs have met
with a fairly active outlet at strong
average prices, and sheep and lamb
values have advanced by leaps and
bounds. Lower temperatures have
doubtless been a factor in the i'm
proved tone of the trade, meat con-
sumption invariably increasing I'M
der such conditions. 1t is generally
believed that the low spot Of the
winter has been safely passed in the
cattle and sheep trade, and with the
so-called winter packing season rap
idly drawing to a close, the hog mar
ket appears to be on a firm founda-
ton.
Most killing cattle are selling 25c
or more above last weeks close on
the local market, and the advancing

GAS FROM KITCHEN
RANGE CAUSED DEATH
Further Details of the Accidental
Death of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. L. Smith

The following account of the
death of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Smith,
(Which was briefly mentioned last
weekly is taken from the Morning
Register, of Eugene, Oregon, for Feb.
IS:
Harvey Lee Smith and wife, aged
II and IS years, respectively, were
asphyxiated by gas at their nome,
9O8 Fifth avenue west, some time
between Thursday evening and yes
terday afternoon about 1870 o'clock,
at which time their bodies were found
in their bedroom. AS neither mad
been seen about the premises all day
Thursday or yesterday forenoon, and
as newspapers had remained in the
yard during that time, it is quite
certain that the aged couple met
death after retiring Thursday night
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were the parents
of Fred E. Smith, prominent attor-
ney of this city.
NEIGHBORS BECAME ALARMED
"Neighbors had noticed that
light in the rear portion of the resi-
dence had been burning all day
Thursday and yesterday forenoon,
and that Mr.. and Mrs. Smith had not
been seen at all. Ulysses Ellmaker,
farmer of the Elmira neighborhood,
who was at the home of his father
in-law, C. A. LeVan, 924 Fifth avenue
west, next door to the Smith resi-
dence, early yesterday afternoon vol
unteered to go over and Investigate.
AS soon as he, in company with u.
H. Trip, opened the rear door OF the
residence, they were almost over
come by gas fumes, but they entered
and soon found the dead bodies or
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith in their bed
room. That of Mrs. Smith was on
the floor, partially beneath the bed,
as if she had arisen in an effort to
escape from the deadly fumes. Both
were clad in their night clothes. Mr..
Ellmaker and Mr.. Trip found that
one of the burners of the gas range
had been left open, unlighted and
that the gas was escaping at that
time. One of the two had probably
turned the gas on to heat some water
as a L6dKGLLl6 SLOOQ over lie Uu11S1,
but had evidently not lighted it.
Coroner Branstetter was called.
He took charge of the remains but
deemed that no inquest was neces-
sary as it was plain to be seen that
death was accidental.
WAS CIVIL WAR VETERAN
'Mr. Smith was lieutenant in the
Seventh .Vermount volunteers during
the Civil war and served with distinc-
ton throughout the conflict. He was
a member of the G. A. R. He was
born at Cabot, Vermont, in 1874, and
lived in Minnesota for a long time,
being commissioner of Stevens county
in that state for IL years. He and
Mrs. Smith came to this city in 1911.
Mrs. Smith was born at Bane, YER
mont, in 1843. They are survived
by their only child, Attorney Fred E.
Smith.
"The funeral will be held Monday
at 2:3O at the Branstetter chapel
with interment in the I. o. o. F.
cemetery Rev. A. NJ. Spangler will
have charge of the services at the
chapel and the Masons at the grave"

Coal Order Placed After Threat To
Use Railroads for Transportation

Use Railroads for Transportation
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
most historic inland waterway of the
country, has been saved.
Announcement was made Thurs
day by the U. S. Navy Department
that it had placed an order for coal
to be shipped to the proving grounds
at Indian Head via the canal, thereby
continuing the governments support
OF the ancient carrier.
Threatened withdrawal of the gov
ernment's support because it had been
offered cheaper coal by rail shipment
promised to put the canal out of bus
mess and throw several hundred en-
ployes out of work. Maryland mem
Oers of Congress, led by Representa-
tive Zihlman and Washington and
Cumberland, Md, business organiza-
tons, went to the rescue.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY was
seen and he instructed the general
Navy board to weigh the merits of the
matter. That the government has an
investment in the canal of more than
a million dollars and that the water
way has a military value in relieving
rail congestion, which was demon
strated during the late war, were con-
siderations laid before the Navy
authorities. The result of these repre-
sensations was that the Navy decided
to call for new bids.
Bidding was spirited on the second
round, with a number of companies
participating, but the canal interests
submitted the lowest bid.
Representative Zihlman, who was
responsible for the government keep
ing the canal in operation during the
war, said Thursday that he believed
the waterway would now enter a per-
iod of general development which will
give it new Importance as a trade ar
terry.
This i sthe opinion of officials of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, who are planning to
make a trip over the canal to Cumber-
Ian dto study the trade potentiali-
ties Mr.. Zihlman will accompany the
merchants on the trip.
The government owns ten barges
on the canal, which Immediately will
be placed in service. Boats started to
load at Cumberland on Friday with
coal for the Navy, it is stated.
