Ferd McClintock, master mechanic
at the electric power plant in this
city, met with an accident about 10
o'clock Sunday morning Of a charac-
ter that it is mystifying that he es-
capped with his life. Yet he was back
experimenting his work within a
couple of days. In overhauling the
engine he had loosened the stead head,
which had more power behind it than
he anticipated, the force blowing off
the head, which weighs over 200
pounds, blowing Mr.. McClintock with
great force through an open door ten
feet away. His face and body were
frightfully burned by escaping steam,
and one Of his shoes was practically
cut off by the falling steam-head. yet
his foot was not scratched. It seems
that providence played master hand
in his delivery from death.
j.. H. Orten, of this city, requests
that his name be presented this week
to Times readers as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Pre-
siding Judge Of the st. Francois
County Court. Judge Orten, who has
already had experience on the Coun-
| ty Court, having served in satisfac-
tory manner for two terms on that
| body in Ste. Genevieve county while
resident of that county, is popular
with his many friends, and was born
and reared in this county, and has
spent his entire life in this and Ste,
Genevieve county. He is kown as q
good and conservative business man
and for the past five years has been
successfully engaged in the real es.
tate business in Pennington. His
many friends feel that with Judge Or
ten presiding over the County Court
the best interests of the Taxpayers
would be guarded in careful anc
painstaking manner. Therefore they
will be pleased to see his name in the
list of entrants. :
J. w. Jones this week authorizes
The Times to present his name as a
candidate for Presiding Judge of the
County Court of st. Francois county
Judge Jones served for two years as
Associate Judge of the County Court
but was defeated for reelection two
years ago to that place by small ma.
jority in the Republican landslide
During his two years service on the
County Court Judge Jones rendered IL
the taxpayers most capable and valu'
able service, and the experience h,
gained there would make his services
on the Court even more valuable Il
the people than was his other term
He has that element in his character
that refuses to be led into a thing
without knowing the why's ant
wherefores of it all, something al
men serving as County Judges SHOULD
have. About ten weeks ago Judge
Jones had the misfortune of breaking
a leg by slipping and falling on 6
frosty sidewalk at his home, which is
the reason for his delay in announc.
ing his candidacy. He is now able tc
be about in a conveyance, and will sec
as many voters as possible before, the
primary date. Those whom he may
fail to see personally will know tht
reason for such failure.
