PINNED UNDER CAR WITH LEG
BROKEN, MAN DIGS WAY OUT

H. A. McCracken, for the last sew
eral years employed as grain buyer
for the Farmers Elevator company OF
Bainville, sustained a severe fracture
of the leg while hauling water to his
farm, some two miles south of town.
Recent rains had washed out the
roads in many places and in crossing
a ravine about a mile from home the
tank tipped over, pinning the leg and
smashing it just above the ankle. In
addition, one of the bolts securing
the c~ross-pieces on the tank pene-
trated the calf of the leg, tearing the
flesh from the bone.
1t was here that McCracken dis
played extraordinary endurance. He
was alone and a considerable distance
off the main road, and was in a deep
gully, where he could not be seer by
any one who did chance to pass along
the main road. Realizing this, he be-
gan digging himself out and, with the
aid of a small piece of iron which
had been on top Of the tank and
which had fallen just within reach
of his hand, he succeeded in freeing
the broken member. He then un-
hitched the team and managed to
climb astride one of the horses. He
rode home and telephoned to n of
the ~neighbors for assistance. He was
to Mercy hospital at Willis
ton, as it was feared that infection
had set in where the rusty bolt had
been embedded.

PIONEER KILLED
UNDER HAY RACK
MONTANA VETERAN OF 1864 AT
THE AGE OF SO MEETS WITH
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Thrown From Seat When Horses
Bolted, Aged Man Was Dragged
Across Field; Fought in Crimean
War and Came to America After
ward to Seek His Fortune.

Becoming alarmed at the prolong-
ed absence of her husband, who had
gone to his ranch Monday to do some
work, Mrs. Edward Rohkramer insti-
tuted a search which resulted in the
find ing of the body of her husband
in a bayfield, there. 1t appeared that
Rohkramer had been thrown from
the hayrake, caught in the teeth and
dragged across the field. The body
was badly bruised and scratched, and
death evidently had occurred some
hours before. The horses, still hitch
ed to the rake, were standing in a
fence corner.
Mr.. R~ohkramer, who was 83 years
of age, was a veteran of the Crimean
war and a pioneer of Montana. He
was a native of Germany. At the age
of 16 years he went to Paris to work
at his trade as a baker for two years,
then went to London and worked
there TO rsome time. He then enlist
ed in the English army and sailed to
Bosporus, Turkey, where he fought
in the Crimean war. After his hon
orable discharge he came to America
in 1862 and worked in New York at
his trade and in 1864 started across
the plains for the west, coming to
Montana.
Here he was engaged in prospect
ing and mining placer claims.
In 1870 he took up his homestead
near the Buckhouse bridge, raised
some crops and was freighting sup
plies to Deer Lodge and Butte.
In 1880, after his fathers death,
he returned to Germany to get his
share of the property, then came back
to his ranch in Montana.
He was married to Miss Pauline
in 1881.
In 1883 he went to the Occur
1'Alenes to engage in freighting sup
plies to the mines, and in 1889 re-
to M~issoula, where he has
been residing since.

Productive Powder River Land

What Powder River county lane
will produce with plenty of moisture
was demonstrated here when Mr.. and
Mrs. George Groms, who live three
miles east of Olive and 7R miles
northwest of Broadus, brought to the
Examiner office an exhibit of grain,
grass and corr that speaks for itself.
There are 10 separate stalks OF
fall wheat from a single kernel, the
stalks measuring So inches. The
wheat is stooled to perfection and
shows heads that will ripen within
a week. This yield will average 40
bushels to the acre.
A bunch of timothy that could
hardly be excelled measured 55
inches.
A few specimens of corn that had
been listed in by Grooms stood 58
inches. BY using this process he
states he has almost totally elimin-
ated the obnoxious weeds.
And then there is a bunch of stalks
of 60-day oats, standing 46 inches,
that will thresh from rs to 100
bushels an acre.

Living Veteran Officially Dead

Mrs. B. A. Schak, mother of Al
Schak, former Kalispell boy now at
tending the University of Montana as
a vocational student, has again been
notified by the government that her
son is dead. However, Al denies 1t,
but is wondering as to whether or not
he is going to receive the insurance
that he is now carrying with the gov
eminent.
All is at present busy preparing a
flowery obituary for use in case he is
unable to prove that he is innocent
of the governments charge of being
a dead one. This is the second time
that the government has accused
Schak of being officially dead. His
captain reported him killed in action
in the Toule sector, but AL says the
captain was slightly wrong.

A. B. Cook of Townsend, one OF
the biggest breeders of pure-bred
Hereford cattle in America and form
er president of the American Here
ford Breeders association, believes
that next year will bring prosperous
times for the livestock industry of
Montana.
1.-The lessened supply of cattle is
certain to bring better times and bet
ter prices to the livestock industry,
he said. Il predict that next year
will see a big increase in the stock
raising industry in Montana. 1t is
going to have better times and Will
expand to take its true place in the
nations market. The low supply OF
livestock induced by forced selling is
going to make this advance certain.

FEDERAL SERVICE
TO AID MONTANA
LABOR DEPARTMENT OF U. S. TO
COOPERATE IN SUPPLYING
HELP FOR HARVEST
Important Question is What Wages
Will be Paid in State; One Diff
Guilty is that Dakota Will be in
Need of $4,000 Harvest Hands at
Same Time Montana Needs Them.

An agreement by which the federal
employment service and the state di-
vision of labor will work together to
supply the $500 additional men who
will be needed to harvest Montana's
$4,000, 900 bushel wheat crop was en-
tered into last week at a conference
at Helena.
A conference was held between
George e. Tucker, field agent of the
farm labor bureau of the federal en-
pIoyment service; c. d. Greenfield,
Jr., head of the division of labor of
the state department of agriculture,
and j. C. Taylor, of Bozeman, state
county agent leader.
The representative of the federal
service agreed to take care of harvest
needs so far as possible in Phillips,
Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt,
Richland, Dawson, McCone, Garfield
and Fallon counties, in which it is
estimated that approximately 1850
men will be wanted by August 1 or
soon after. The state division of la
Dor will endeavor to find extra har-
vest hands for Judith Basin, Fer
gus and other counties.
"The real thing which must be de-
cided is what wages will be paid in
Montana said Tucker. Montana is
farther from the labor centers than
the other wheat bearing states. The
wage must, of course, compete with
that paid in the Dakotas. If it is put
at a less figure it will attract so few
men that the farmers will find them
selves forced to bid against each
other and paying an amount far
above that which they expect to pay.
1.-THE call for labor from Montana
came late, because of the necessity
for waiting to be sure the crop would
come up to expectations. One diff
Guilty is that Montana will need the
h~arvesters at the anne time that the
Dakotas will want $4,000 hands.
'"This is virtually the first time
that the federal employment service
has been called on to send wheat har-
vesters into Montana and it is han
dicapped by lack of the detailed data 6
as to acreage and yield in each county !
such as it gathers in advance in other !
states" =
Appeals by letters and posters are
planned by the state division of labor .
In the centers west of Montana where !
1t is hoped that men can be found +
sufficient for the harvest in those 3
parts of the state for which Green y
field assumed the responsibility of 8
procuring ~harvesters.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
"a, B. COOK SEES GOOD TIMES
FOR MONTANA LIVESTOCK MEN

I'm Montana better times for the
livestock man is going to be marked
by improvement in his herds and the
breeders of purebred stock r going
to have a better market for their
stuff. We have many breeders of
fine cattle in Montana now and the
stockmen who are looking for fine
sires will not need to go outside the
state.
Fright now, the prices of all stock
are down pretty low. That is true of
the purebred stock as well as of the
killers and we have all felt the situa-
ton. If my expectations are realized
next year will make up for this, in
part at least, and those who have held
to the business will begin to get
some reward"

Beaverhead Grasshopper Plague

A plague Of grasshoppers, the first
ever recorded in this valley, has ap-
parently made its appearance on the
east bench lands lying close to Dill
Ion and on the lower reaches of the
divide between that valley and Rat
tlesnake valley. The hoppers, APP
parently in an early stage, are of the
variety similar to that type which
two years ago literally overran the
Centennial valley and caused an i'm
loss to ranchers and farmers.

RESTER AGAIN SHOWS
SPIRIT THAT BUILDS

Frequently The Enterprise has
called attention to the progressive
spirit which has been displayed on
several occasions by II. f. Roster,
and it was again demonstrated Sat-
urday when hundreds of visitors were
here for the Shrine Ceremonial.
Saturday, Mr.. Roster would have
done a big business in his garage, Ow-
ing to the large number of cars here.
But he had one of the few places in
the city where hundreds of out-of-
town folks could be conveniently fed.
his own loss and thinking
only of the welfare Of the city, he
permitted his entire garage to be
used in which to serve dinner to the
visitors.
The moving Of all his cars and ma
and getting the garage in
was no easy task. He did
not stop at this, but had the interior
decorated with festoons of
red, white and blue bunting and an
number of pine twigs.
The meals at the Roster Garage
were served by Mrs. Blakslee, who
conducts the Acme Cafe.

CLOTHING FOR FLOOD
SUFFERERS WANTED

Bogalusa citizens who have any old
clothes that they would be willing
to give to the flood sufferers of
Louisiana will confer a great favor
upon the local committee, as we'll as
providing clothing for families who
are destitute in our own state.
The call has been made by the Red
Cross with the approval of Governor
John NJ. Parker. Mrs. j. L. Gould
and Mrs. Haines Lea compose the
local committee. Each citizen with
clothing to give is urged to send it
to the missionary societies of their
RESPECTIVE churches, or phone Mrs.
Lea or Mrs. Gould. or if convenient
take it to the Y. w. C. A.
There are several thousand citizens
of Louisiana who are now homeless

gems who are not affected by high
water come to the rescue, it will be
necessary to ask for aid outside the
state, something that will not be re-
sorted to unless it is the last remedy.
The express company has expressed
a willingness to carry shipments of
to any section of the state,
free of charge.

Millington Home
Destroyed By Fire

Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Millington, for
mer Bogalusa residents, but who for
the past two years have resided at
Folsom, lost their home and practi-
cally all its contents by fire about 8
o'clock Sunday morning. The loss
will total $4,000. Insurance for less
than half that amount was carried.
The fire also damaged the grounds
arOunds the home which contained a
large number of fruit trees.
The greatest loss was the canned
fruits and preserves, the product of
Mrs. Millington, said to have been
the finest in this section. Not a Jar
was saved, nor any of the fine linens
which were a notable feature of the
MillingtOn home.
Mr.. Millington had planned to
drive to Bogalusa Saturday night and
bad placed SIG in currency in his
trousers pocket. This money was de-
strOyed as was practically all of his
clothing. In fact, so little of Mr..
MillingtOn's apparel was saved that
he did not have enough to make his
run on the Shore Line Sunday.
The MillingtOns are planning to
rebuild on the old site, which includes
more than an acre of ground.

Fire Chiefs Car
Runs Down Boy

A mother, as we'll as a number of
citizens, witnessed one of the most
miraculous escapes from death that
has ever been recorded in Bogalusa
about o'clock Monday evening when
the touring car of Fire Chief Sher-
man struck boy, the 10-year-old son
Of Mrs. V. B. Hogan. The accident
occurred in front of Berenson Bros.
store on Columbia street when the
street was lined with people. Just
how the boy escaped a horrible death
no one can tell exactly. The accident
was unavoidable under the circum-
stances.
Young Hogan received a bad bruise
on the hip, but otherwise lis condA
ton IS not considered serious.
The youth was playing in a lot OPP
poslte BerensOn Brothers store when
the first fire truck was making a run
to RlchardsOut0wn, where a car was
aflre. When the truck passed the
boys left the play ground.
Chief Sherman was following a
short distance behind, travelling at
the rate of about Is miles an hour.
Inc Dtu OF the cHleL car was clang-
ing, but the youth decided he could
cross the street ahead of The car. On
reaching the street he hesitated. Wit ;
messed say that when the car struck
the boy it was not going over Is
miles an hour, the emergency brakes
having been applied
Cars were parked on both sides of |
the street, making it impossible for
The fire chief to turn to one side.
AS the car struck the youth on the
zip, he had presence of mind enough a..
o seize the bumper and hold on. He
vas dragged about fifty feet before
he car was stopped. He was rushed
o the hospital. where an examina-
ion showed his injuries to be not Sc
ious. Several times during the ex-
.iting moments the wheels of the car
anne very near passing over the boys
lead.
The boys father, v. B. Hogan, was
Tiled on the FranklintOn Highway in

Mrs. ". J. Wood. Met
Tragic Death
Friday
Saturated Her Clothing With
Kerosene and Was. Fa-
tally Burned Before. Fam
lily Was Aware of Deed
Buried Saturday.

One of the most tragic deaths
IN TINS section in years occurred at
FrankllntOn Thursday when Mrs. w.
=. Wood, one of the best known ladies
OF Washington Parish, died from the
effect of burns which were self in
flicted.
Arising from her bed before day.
il&ht FRIDAY morning, she saturated
her clothing with coal oil, went to the
barn and ignited the clothing. She
was badly burned about the body be-
lore the family was aware of her act.
Had 1t not beenfor two negroes pass
ing the place and giving the alarm, it
1t believed that the body would have
burned to a crisp and the barn de-
stroyed. When the colored men saw
the light in the barn and gave the
alarm, Mrs. Wood ran from the build
ing.
She fingered until Friday evening,
when death relieved her sufferings.
Funeral services were held Satur-
day and attended by large number
of relatives and friends.
A peculiar incident was the fact
that she poured the coal oil down
her back, and despite the fact that
she was badly burned about the face,
her hair showed no signs whatsoever
OF being burned. 1t is also stated that
she remained conscious to almost a
few minutes within her death, and
that her mind became normal, for
the first time in many weeks.
She was 48 years old and is sur
vlVed by four sons, the youngest be-
ing II years. She was sister-in-law
OF Herman Gayer, a former attorney
of this city.
Mrs. Wood had a severe attack of
the influenza three years ago, from
which she never fully recovered, and
for the past few months has been
suffering from nervous tronhla.
