Frisco North- bound Freight Train Wrecked The north bound local Frisco freight train was wrecked last Saturday morning, about three miles southeast of Burton, while crossing a slough bridge from which the pillars had been burned. The engineer, his fireman and a brakeman were ridin the cab at the time of the wreck but neither of them were severely injured.

The conductor, who was in the caboose at the rear of the train, was thrown across the cupulo and three of his ribs broken. The train was running at a good rate of speed when the gine started to cross the bridge. The engine crossed the bridge and plowed its way on for thirty or forty feet and rolled over on its side. Four freight cars and two oil tanks piled into the slough and were wrecked. The car next to the engine was badly shattered and was loaded with corn.

The other freight cars wrecked were filled with various kinds of merchancise. One of the oil tanks was loaded with kerosene and the other with gasolene. The wrecking of these cars started leaks in both tanks and the entire contents ran out into the ditch, standing a foot deep in some places. In order to prevent a fire and explosion of the mixture of gasolene and kerosene, the Frisco officials restricted, as That the Public May Know In as much as there has been false rumors concerning the condition of the opera house, and in order that the public may know the true condition of the building, the owners have had Mr. Patterson, of the state building and fire department, examine the building from cellar to roof.

He examined the building both as to permanancy and fire regulations, and pronounced the building in a good state of preservation, and one of the best buildings in the state, except the modern, steel re-inforced concrete buildings. That we could fill the auditorium, the gallery and the stage until there was no standing room, and at many more if it were possible, and he would consider life in perfect safety. (Signed) S. M.

For Sale Gentle horse- -C. Bernice Osborne Dead Miss Bernice Osborne, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.

Osborne of Burton, died at the home of her parents early Tuesday morning. She had been ill for several weeks with typhoid fever, but her condition was somewhat improved during the few days prior to her death Tuesday morning when she was seized by an attack of heart failure from which it was impossible to revive her. The funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon. Interment was made in the Burton cemetery. Obituary "There is a reaper whose name is Death, Who with his sickle keen Reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow So we would write of the decease of Bernice Orella Osborne, daughter Houston L.

and Ella Gordinier Osborne. Born here twelve years ago the sixth of last May, she at her death Tuesday morning, November 10th, was just at the age when an only daughter's going from this life must be especially felt, It is the utter breaking up of earth plans when the innocent life of childhood is stepping on beautifully into the promise of young womanhood. Alive and bouyant and thoughtful- in home, public school and Sabbath school, her future was radiant for one of her years. Then came three weeks ago the army of the typhoid bacilli. They battered especially at the citadel of the physical life, the heart.

Despite watchful medical skill, sleepless nursing of every particle of a loved one's strength, and when hope was being strengthened by gains for her victory, the citadel was taken. But that was all that disease gained in the battle, though that seems too much to her bereaved parents and her brother. The little heroine of the fight went unscathed to the land of which she had been learning in her Sabbath School from Sabbath to Sabbath--the land of freedom from tears and pain and fever and and goodbyes and' death. Besides the immediate relatives, there are her maternal grandparents, Horace and Esther Gordinier, and her paternal grandmother, Mrs. Rachel 08- borne of Red Rock, Oklahoma, the families of John Osborne of Red Rock, Oklahoma, William and Edward of Burrton, William Gordinier of Pratt, Kansas, Ray Gordinier of Greensburg, Kansas, Mrs George Gray of Turon, Kansas, Mrs.

Harry Dykeman and a host of friends who mourn her going from our midst. Let us all think of her going out of the midst of this life in the terms of these lines: "Some day the bell will sound; And then my heart will bound At the glad shout That school is out, And lessons done, I'll homeward Millinery Bargains To reduce my stock of black, white and colored ostrich plumes, I will sell $7.50 plumes for $5.00, $5.00 plumes for $3.90, $4.00 plumes for $2.90, etc. Corresponding reductions in hats and other trimmings. -Mrs. E.

Second Number much as possible, the permitting of sight-seers on the right of way, The wrecker was sent out from Wichita Sunday morning and cleared the track, put in a temporary bridge, and laid rails SO that the north bound passanger train could run on the Frisco line Sunday evening. While the track was blockaded by the wreck the Frisco trains made their trips to Wichita on the Santa Fe by the way of Newton.

By Monday evening the majority of the wreckage had been picked up and the engine brought to Burton for temporary repairs. A gang of bridgemen are now busy rebuilding the slough bridge. Attracted Attention The wreckage was the chief attraction for sight-seers, Sunday. The day was an ideal one, the roads were never better, and a constant stream of people could be seen going to and from the wreckage all day. They came from the surrounding country and all the nearby towns.

in buggies, autos and on foot, armed with kodaks, snapping the wreckage and the people apparently enjoying themselves, gathering mementos, and all at the expense of the Frisco Railroad Company.
