As the bodies were taken from the wreck they’ were rushed away to morgues at Bristow and Sapulpa. F, N. Hutchinson of Tulsa among the list:of identified victims. John Crownover of Shamrock, Ok., a former deputy sheriff of Creek county, is the other white man known to have been killed. Frisco officials declined to give out any information as.to the extent of the disaster, saying they did not know how many were killed or in- jured. The collision occurred just the passenger train crossed the bridge over Polecat creek. The crews of both engines jumped, saving their lives but were severely in- tired. The passenger train was in charge of Engineer Rule of Sapulpa, who was able to walk to his home in that city after he shad” jumped from his engine. M. N. Catterton, his fireman, also of Sapulpa, was brought to the haspital here with the wounded pas- sengers. The troop train was running in tivo sections and the first had passed the Passenger just out of Kellyville. En- Bineer Rule, not knowing there was another section behind, took the main track and crossed the river. after H, O. Maxey for Representative. It is learned that H. O. Maxey, present Circuit...Clerk, is. heing jm: fh wgreat many Bates County to be a candidate for Representative in the Legislature. There have been a number of written requests circulated by leading Demo- crats in the county and signed by a great number of citizens and Demo- crats asking him to make the race. These have been presented and others are being circulated, but Mr. Maxey has not’ yet indicated what action he will take finally, but says he will let it be known in ample time. Mr. Maxey, by his long public service, close contact with all of the people, his intimate - knowledge of their needs, his ability in expressing himself- clearly’ and effectively in public discussion, and the deep con- cern he has' always had in the pw welfare, eminently fit him for this|' place, and his many friends and those interested in the county wel- fare feel that he should heed this call and offer himself as a candidate. —Rich Hill Review.

Quite a number of men have lost their lives from asphyxiation by car- bon dioxide when thoughtlessly en- tering.silos, during the filling season. Comparatively few accidents of that kind have occurred in silos built above ground, but quite a few have happened in underground: silos. Such accidents are easily avoidéd and would never occur if people had a better understanding of what hap- pens in the silo after the green corn is put into Fermentation begins almost immediately after the cut corn. has been put into the silo and the - incipal product of this fermenta- tion is carbon dioxide, the same gas. that if exhaled by animals.
