THE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR SALINE COUNTY. A Saline Sampson COLUMBIA eunty Weekly Progress. ESTABLISHED 1865. MARSHALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1914 $1.00 PER YEAR KILLED IN MOTOR WRECK Automobile Turns Over While Being Driven At A High Rate Of Speed A serious accident occured Saturday evening about six o'clock when a Frod car, driven by Luther Treece of Herndon, turned over near the Nick Stedem farm at the western city limits. In the car besides Treece were Lee Winston of Herndon and Tom Prewitt, an elderly man, of Arkansas City, Ark.

All were hurt, but Prewitt was the most seriously injured of the three. He suffered a broken left arm severe bruises on the left side of the face and a hard blow on the back of the neck and, perhaps, internal injuries. After being brought to town to the city hall, he was treated by Dr. A. E.

Gore, but never regained consciousness, dying about one o'clock Monday night. He was unknown to Treece and Winston, they having given him a ride from Cretcher. His identity was revealed, however, by letters. He had been working in this county during the summer, a part of the time at Shelton 'near Malta Bend. A sister Mrs.

Abshire lives in Sedalia. Word was received from a brother, John Pre witt to bury his brother here and to give him a good burial as he had property in Arkansas City, Ark. The funwill be under the direction of Undertaker P. M. Walker Thursday.

The other two members of the party were severely injured, Treece having a shoulder dislocated and severe bruisies on the back. He was taken to the home of a kinsman, Everet Chamberlain, after having been at the city hall a short time. Winston was severly shaken up and bruised, but was able to be taken to his home Sunday morning, where he was getting along very well at the last reports. The cause of the accident, aside from the high speed at which the car was traveling, was evidently the blowing out of a tire. This and the soft dirt near a culvert, caused the driver to lose control of the machine and he drove against the railing of the culvert.

The car turned over after crossing the culvert and the occupants were thrown out. To Enter Army' Medical Service Dr. John R. Hall of Napton informs us that he has been offered two years active service in the United States regular army service with head-quarters at Ft. Logan, near Denver, and has concluded to accept it and may leave for that place by the first of December.

This will no doubt be a great surprise to many of his friends, who have thought of him as permanently located in his practice at Napton. But Dr. Hall is anxious to advance in his profession and says he doesn't know of anything that offers as good opportunities, all things considered, as the army medical service. He will enter with the rank and salary of a first lieutenant, with a home furnished him. There will be a good opportunity afforded him to get a varied experience in surgery, in which he is especially interested.

Dr. Hall had not received his orders when he was in our office and did not know when he would be ordered, tho the announcement of his having been assigned to Ft. Logan appeared in the army service column of the Star on Thursday night, Nov. 12th. He thot it would be necessary for him to leave by the first of December, however.

While the many friends of Dr. Hall and family will regret his leaving this county, they will join us in wishing him every god thing that he expects out of his army service and will hope to have him back again as a permament resident, when his term expires.

The Protestant churches of Marshall will, as in the past, unite in a Thanksgiving service. Hither -to it has been the custom to invite. the minister who last moved to town to preach the sermon.

However the Ministerial Alliance, on motion of Mr. Rickman, has decided to change this, and the minister who has been in the city the longest, without having preached the sermon will be asked to speak on Thanksgiving Day. It was found that Rev. J. E.

Cortner, though he has held the longest pastorate, has never been requested to preach the sermon, so the Alliance unanimously voted that he be requested to preach. The service will be held at the Christian Church at 10 o'clock on Thanksgiving morning. The music will be rendered by a choir made up of the various musicians of the different churches of the city. There is a- bundant cause for Thanksgiving, and the Christian people of the community should see to it that this is the largest Thanksgiving service that Marshall has ever known. FOREST NOTES The town forest of Baden-Baden, Germany, yields an annual profit of $5.25 peracre, or a total profit of nearly $67,500.

Outside of its use for fence posts, black locust finds its principal utilization in insulator pins and brackets for telegraph and telephone lines. One hundred shade trees will be planted by the Massachusetts forestry association in cities and towns of four population classes which win prize contests for excellence in street tree I planting. The Russian government has placed an embargo on all kinds of lumber, to prevent its exportation; walnut lumber, including Circassian walnut, much prized by American furniture makers, is specifically mentioned. Experiences with forest fires on the national forests this year, show that automobiles, where they can be used, furnish the quickest and cheapest transportation for crews of fire fighters. Motor rates are higher than those for teams for the actual time employed, but the total cost per distance traveled and in wages paid to men.

in getting to fires is much less. The tine saving is self evident; trips which ordinarily require two days time by team have been made by automobile in a few hours.
