BIG SMOKER FRIDAY, NOV. FL


The Parco Athletic Association
Will make its initial bow into the
Parco amusement circle Friday night
November 21st. Plans and schemes
are we'll under way for this first
big occasion which will be in the
form of a smoker.
The committee has been appointed
and have duly met to decide just
what will happen on this suspicious
occasion. OF course the actual dope
has not been given out for publica-
ton but it is rumored that there
will be several four-round bouts of
unusual attraction. some wrestling
matches, a battle royal and various
other feats of strength and endur-
ance. There might even be a bas-
ketball game and we know that the
smokes will be the very best pro-
durable. Although nobody has said
a word there might ever be eats.
Who knows?
1t Will be free to all the holders
of the p. A. A. tickets and the
charges for those who do not have
them have as yet not been decided
upon.
You'd better be there If you want
to have a real time. If you haven't
got one of those P. A. A. tickets yet
get one right away or you might ac-
c~identally be out of luck. Watch
for the dope on this smoker, and
don't forget that it is to be held on
Friday night, November 21st.

PAROO WORKER NOT
SERIOUSLY HURT IN FALL

What might have been a serious
accident turned out to be a miracu-
lous escape on Tuesday morning of
this week when Clyde Meade, a work
err On the Pressure stills on the clean
out crew, fell about % feet and lit
on his head In a pile Of coke. His
scalp "a cut and he suffered other
minor bruises but the injuries were
not serious. He was taken to the
Rawlins Memorial hospital where his
injuries wer dressed and several X
Rays we're taken.
The accident occurred when Meade,
who was on a scaffold drilling out
No. 6 level line in the expansion
chamber on number four, tried to
pull out the drill which had become
stuck. The drill suddenly pulled out
and Meade fell off backwards from
the scaffold, down through the

which was at the bottom of the
chamber and Nit on the pile OF coke.
1t is reported that he did not touch

hit the sides of the hole he would
undoubtedly have been killed.
