The conference resulted partly from an appeal for information by the United States senators from this state, and partly from the fact that McDon- | nell, as a member of the grain com- mittee of the northwest shippers’ ad- visory board, desired to present to Harding information obtained at a | recent conference of the committee a: Minneapolis, it was explained. Commenting on charges by Senator Gerald P. Nye that some elevators are | refusing to accept grain for storage and are forcing farmers to sell at the low cash price, McDonnell said he be- lieves the elevators throdghout the! state generally are “playing fair with | regard to the storage situation.” Indications are, however, that some | elevators are attempting to take un- fair advantage of the situation, n+ said, and an inspector for the com- ‘maiasion now is touring the state in an effort to ascertain the truth. If i pears that any elevator man is tempting to take unfair advantage of the farmers, he said, formal charges will be filed, @ hearing will be held, and the, offenders will be summarily punished if the charges are proved. operations.

Work- ers had toiled incessantly since Thursday morning when Priest was buried under rocks and dirt when the walls of the well crumbled as he was cleaning it. “Water,” gasped Priest as he was carried on a cot through the 30 foot shaft which rescuers had spent 18 hours digging. Although his voice was weak, his eyes were open and he ap- parently was completely rational, de- spite his trying ordeal. Dr. D. L. Rater made a hasty ex- ainination at the mouth of the shaft, but was unable to determine the ex- tent of his injuries. It was feared his legs were mangled by the pressure of the debris. Negro's Work Praised B. H. Johnson, negro miner of Albia, was credited with the principal Part of the final steps of rescue. “We did it,” said Johnson, smiling broadly as he followed Priest to the surface. A crew from the Rex mine near Albia, which took charge of the final operations was ready to bring Priest from the well at 5:20 a. m, when the cave-ins hindered their work. Up to that time a crowd of nearly one thou- sand had waited throughout the night. Calm tenseness as word came from the shaft that rescuers were | touching Priest was succeeded by an instant of excited bustle with the cry “Quick, some more caved in.” Horses which had been hauling dirt and rocks from the shaft at a rapid pace were driven even faster as the men worked frantically to release the imprisoned man from the new danger. Curb New Cave-ins Forty-five minutes more and the cry “all clea ‘ame from the depths of the slg.ft as the miners announced 3 | they hed curbed the new cave-ins and once more were ready to attempt the exit. A cot was lowered into the shaft and into the 10 foot connecting tun- nel to the well. At the first glimpse of the end of the cot, as it was pulled to the surface, spectators sighed, but the tenseness remained. “Would he be alive?” As soon as the cot appeared on the surface, with Priest wrapped in heavy wool blankets with even his face cov- ered, workers hastened to rub his feet. | *t Dr. Rater took the blanket off his face and then made an injection in his arm. A waiting ambulance rushed Although Priest was bruised and his chest was sore from the pressure of the rocks, an examination at the hospital showed no bones were broken. When taken from the well his tem: Perature was six degrees below nor. mal and he was swathed in heavy blankets and hot water bottles. He also was given some hot coffee. Dr. Rater expressed belief had an excellent chance for recovery unless pneumonia should set in and every precaution is being: taken to guard against the disease. Priest said he never expected to be taken out alive and had abandoned hope of rescue. He said he was un- able to express his gratitude to the rescuers, BURKE COUNTY HOST FOR RUST IS FOUND Barberry Bush Hedge, 25 Yea Old, Eradicated to Prevent Infection of Grain i i } E i ef !
