ONE KII.LRU AND FIVE INJURED
IN FRISCO WRECK
A. C. Hinckley, an engineer, was
killed and live men seriously injured
Thursday morning when an engine
turned over near White Oak on the
Frisco railroad, while attempting to
salvage the caboose of an oil train
which had been set tire by the explo-
sion of a gasoline car.
L. L. (ireen, fireman, and Frank
1 Jirge, Brakeman, were two of the
more seriously injured and are in a
c ritual condition at their homes in Sa-
pulpa. The three other men have not
been identified, one having been taken
tn the Frisco Hospital at Springfield,
Missouri.
The tracks in the region of the dis-
aster have been soft for several days
on account of the continued rains and
une of the gasoline cars on the
through freight turned over and ex-
ploded. This set the entire train on
tire and sixteen of the valuable oil and.
gasoline cars burned without check.
The engine pulling the oil train im-
mediately pulled away from the
wreck after the explosion and the oc-
cupants were unharmed. A switch
engine was called from Chelsea to
rescue some of the cars by pulling
them away from those on fire.
When it came up to the wreck and
was about to pull the caboose out of
danger, the soft road-bed gave way,
the engine turning completey over,
killing the engineer almost immedi-
ately and it is thought fatally injur-
ing the fireman. Several hundred
feet of track were torn out and trains
over the main line were delayed, hav-
ing to be detoured via the Iron Moun-
tain to Wagoner and thence up the
M. K. & T. to Vinita and vica ver-
sa, but on Friday, however, the tracks
had been cleared and trains could get
through.
Aside from this the Frisco experi-
enced another accident*. Thursday
seemed to be a "hoodoo day" for the
road. The west-bound 10-50 morn-
ing passenger train had to be detour-
ed from Vinita down over the M. K.
& T. to Wagoner and then up to this
city over the Iron Mountain. As the
long passenger train was proceeding
slowly around the Y near the mill at
4 :.'10 in the afternoon, the engine de
railed. As the railroad men were un-
able to again get it on the track for
some time, traffic by the detour route
was tied up and Thursday night the
Frisco yards here were filled with de-
layed passenger trains with weary
passengers, having spent many hours
on the road getting nowhere. The
repair of the track at the wreck re-
lieved this congested condition Fri-
day.
MILITIA FROM EVERY STATE the back of the store by Wallace

into the rear for something. The
President Wilson has called out the man had come in the rear door arri
Militia from every state for service was sneaking up to the back of the
on the Mexican border. The propor- prescription case. When he saw
tion of the militia which will actually Montgomery he turned and fled,
lie sent has been determined upon by later he was seen on the street bj
the war department. A statement Montgomery, who, on advice ..f the
was issued late Sunday night, show- druggist, Prather, followed him. Th-
ing just how many troops from each n'on went to Dr. M. H. G i-don'i
state will lie taken into the Federal
service. In announcing the presi
dent's decision Secretary Baker said
the militia would be sent to the bor-
der wherever and as fully as General
Funston determined them to be need-
ed.
Secretary Baker issued the follow-
ing statement:
"In view of the disturbed conditions
on the Mexican border and in order to
insure complete protection for all
Americans the president has called
out substantially all the state militia
and will send them to the border,
wherever and as fully as General
Funston determines them to be needed
for the purpose stated."
This call is wholly unrelated to
(ieneral Pershing's exvedition and
contemplates no additional entry into
Mexico, except as may be necessary
to pursue bandits who attempt out-
rages on American soil.
From Oklahoma will go one regi-
ment of infantry, two troops of cav-
alry, one company engineers, one field
hospital corps, all of which will be
mobilized at Chandler.
The railroads, although knowing in
a general way that a large movement
was on foot, were caught unprepared
for the movement of the militia.
However, record time in getting nec-
essary equipment ready was made.
COLLINS DRUG IS ROBBED OF
NARCOTICS
WII.I.IAM JENNINGS BRYAN
MrALLESTER TUESDAY
AT
William Jennings Bryan was in Mc-
Alester Tuesday. He expressed
while there a hope for peace in Mexi-
co and confidence of democratic suc-
cess in November. He refused to
forecast the result of the Mexican
trouble.
"The republicans evade domestic
issues," Mr. Bryan said, "and are al-
most as timid in their attack on the
administration's policy. They don't
dare point to a single thing and say
they would have done that in prefer-
ence to what the administration has
done."
J. I). Holland, Cicero Strange and
Bill Holeman, of Foyil, were among
those to spend the day Monday in our
city with friends and on business.
A thief, supposedly a "dope" flend,
entered the Collins Drug Store Sat-
urday night and stole most of the
narcotics from the two separate
"dope" chests in which the drugs are
kept. Narcotics valued at from $15
to $20 were taken, while nothing else
in the store was touched. Fortun-
ately, Jim Collins, manager of the
store, had only a small supply of
these drugs on hand at the time.
The robbery was discovered Sun-
day morning when the druggist, O.
L. Prather, came down to work. A
window at the rear of the store on
the east side next to the Sequoyah
hotel had been opened and the thief
entered this way. The screen from
the window was torn off, while the
fastening to the window must have
been left loose. The thief made his
way through the optical rooms of Dr.
Moore into the drug store, back of
the prescription case. One of the
chests in which the narcotics are kept
had been left unlocked, while the pad-
lock on the other was forced. The
intruder, with sufficient light from
the front of the store, made a care-
ful search of the cabinets, taking only
the narcotics he found in sufficient
quantities to justify the stealing, and
then made his way out of the store
unobserved.
The robbery must have occurred
during or after the rain which fell
about one o'clock, as there were large
footprints beneath the window where
he went in. The officers were noti-
fied of the robbery Sunday but failed
to find the robber with the scarcity
of clues he left.
Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock
man, supposedly after the same
kind of drugs was chased away from
office. Curious to know what he want-
ed. Montgomery told Dr. Gordon of
what he suspected, and Dr. Gordon
went up to his office. The man was
a dope fiend and wanted the physician
to sell him some morphine, offering
him an exhorbitant price for it, which
offer was emphatically refused by
Dr. Gordon. The man came down
from the office and made a run for
the west bound Frisco passenger
train, boarding it and leaving town.
In recent months \he Ault Drug
Store has been entered twice, each
time the robber relieving the cabinets
of all the narcotics they contained,
and both time* he has succeeded in
getting away. The extreme diffi-
culty experienced by "dopdP users in
securing the drugs since the Federal
law, prohibiting its sale except by
prescription went into effect is at-
tributed to be responsible for the
forcible means used to get it.
THE BIG LAKE CLAIMS LIFE OF
JESSE GOOCH
A happy, jolly boy scout outing
came to a tragic end Thursday even-
ing, just at the close of day, about 8
o'clock, when the "Big Lake claimed
the life of Jesse Gooch, 15-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Gooch,
of this city, and the twelve little lads,
with their thirteenth member cold in
death, who, earlier in the day, head-
ed by Reverend H. M. Gardner, pas-
tor of the Presbyterian church, had
tramped down to the lake for an all-
night outing, were conveyed back to
this city shivering with cold and ter-
ror, in automobiles, which were driv-
en down when the news reached here
Gooch, who was ten miles from Farm-
ington, N. M., on an oil lease, at the
time of the accident, could not be
reached Thursday night, as no one
could be procured to carry the mes-
sage and there was no telephone
communication with the lease.
The citizenship of Claremore ex-
tends sympathy to this family in its
bereavement. Tis sad, doubly sad, to
realize that one so young has been
called to the Great Beyond, just at a
time when life was unfolding and ex-
panding in beautiful vistas of prom-
ise; when the lips had but touched
the drops on the brim of the cup of
life, the bitterness and sweetness of
the future alike being unknown—the
bitterness shrouded in blissful ignor-
ance, the sweetness doubled and

Facing Carranza's defiant army in
northern Mexico there will be station-
ed along the Rio Grande within
week or ten days an American fori*
that will total, it is believed, almos:
seventy thousand men. As fast as
the National Guardsmen arrive in
the south they will be sent to the va-
rious stations, to be ready in case of
trouble.
Secretary Lansing's note to Carran-
za's minister of war was read care-
fully by General Funston and mem-
bers of his staff. Those officers fa-
jniliar with the temperment of the
Mexican officials regarded it as a
communication almost certain to
sweep aside the barriers which are at
present holding the two armies apart.
Already the border army, made up of
trooM of the regular establishment
and we militiamen of Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona, comprise more
than forty thousand. This army, al-
ready patrolling the international line
is prepared to resent invasion but it
is not thought big enough to guard
the long line from Brownsville to the
Pacific.
The Oklahoma troops are mobiliz-
ing at Oklahoma City in order to be
ready for the order to the border, in
the event that Carranza takes a hos-
tile view of President Wilson's note
and war with Mexico is brought on.
BARN BURNS NEAR OOLAGAH
J. C. Eaton lost a fine $1,500 barn
on his farm near Oolagah by fire
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The
woman on the place thought she saw
a man run from the barn as the fire
was starting, and under the supposi-
tion that it had been set the sheriff's
office made an investigatio/i of the
premise* Monday, but no trace could
be found which would verify the wom-
an's statement. Miles Patton and
Arthur Robins went up to look the
matter over.
The barn was insured for $750.
session at the council chambers,
immediately adjourned upon receipt of
the news and the members, as well
as many others, immediately secured
cars and hastened to the lake, but
before all had arrived the body had
been found with a Mine net, about an
hour and a half after the drowning.
It was tenderely conveyed to the J.
Herbert Moore Undertaking parlors,
and there prepared for burial, while
the other little lads of the party,
damp and chilled, were packed into
cars and brought to their respective
homes here.
The story of the tragedy, as told
by Reverend Gardner, who is much
grieved by the accident, places the sad
affair among those unavoidable hap-
penings which every now and then
shock and sadden a community.
The boys, twelve in number, had
gathered about noon for a tramp to
the Big Lake and an all-night outing.
The young Gooch boy had not been
8PECT TO JESSE (KMH'H
The funeral services over the body
of Jesse Gooch were held from the
Gooch residence on East Fourth
street Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, and
were attended by a large crowd of
friends who by this courtly paid
their laat tribute to the young lad
who on Thursday was drowned in the
Big Lake.
Reverend Aylor, head of the letter
Day Saints denomination, of Inde-
pendence, Mo., conducted the servic-
es and his consoling words did much
rtoward mollifying the sting of death
to the sorrowing relatives. Special
music was chanted softly by the choir
while the casket lay in a profusion of
flowers sent by the sorrowing friends.
Interment was made in Woodlawn.
The funeral procession formed at the
residence with several of the young
friends of the deceased, as pall bear-

The afternoon was pleasantly spent
on the banks of the lake, until the

the crowd gathered in the boat-bouse
on the east bank of the lake, at the
landing to await its termination.
All were more or less wet, and
when the storm was over, Reverend

of the boys, went about a hundred

fire and dry out. A tbey were start-
ing for the wood, young Gooch. Fore-
man Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Herbert Moore, and Flavius Barrett,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Barrett,
got into a tin boat and started for a
little row. They were admonished
not to go too far by Reverend Gard-
ner and to hurry back and dry out by
the fire.
Reverend Gardner says he had
scarcely reached the woods when he
heard the cry that a boy was under.
He rushed back and saw what had
happened, although it was hard to
discern the exact status of the acci-
dent due to the fast falling night. He
ran into the water and made for the
capsized boat, which he thought to
lie the boy in the dusk, while another
man ran up and made a dive for thn
boy's cap floating on the water some
sixty feet from the landing where
the acrident happened. But neither
found young Gooch's body, which had
sunk as if weighted with lead.
In vain they searched for the body,
after having secured a boat to aid in
the work. The water was some eight
feet deep at the place of the accident
and little could be accomplished with-
out the aid of a net of some kind.
Telephone communication was then
secured with Claremore and aid
sought. Dr. M. H. Gordon, who hap-
pened to be making a call at Verdi-
gris, overheard the conversation over
the phone and immediately left for
the lake to lend medical assistance,
and Dr. Bushyhead went from town.
In the interim, while aid was com-
ing. Red Shepherd secured a net at
the lake and the search for the body
was heroically carried on, Reverend
Gardner and Shepherd being assisted
by two other men who had come up.
The flrst drag for the body was un-
successful, and, in order to make the
seine drag the bottom closer, bricks
were tied on for ballast. The second
drag found the body in the seine and
the men almost completely exhausted
by fatigue and chill.
By the time the body was found,
j too late to restore life by artificial
methods, help had arrived from town
and the body was placed in a car and
' brought in while the sad crowd fol-
i lowed in awed and stunned silence.
| According to the boys on the bank,
• who witnessed the accident, for no
apparent reason whatever the boat
i sank with Gooch, Moore and Barrett.
All could swim more or less, but
Gooch must have been shocked with
the sudden plunge into the cold water
or might have taken in a mouthful of
prater at the time, for. from the first
he was in distress, while Barrett and
Moore were swimming easily.
Seeing the distress of his comrade,
young Barrett made a heroic effort
to save him. He succeeded in get-
ting the drowning boy a considerable
distance toward the bank, but being
played out and in order to save his
own life he had to let go. Gooch went
down immediately to be seen no more
until brought up with the net, while
the other boys swam to safety.
Mrs. Gooch was completely pros-
trated by the shock and required the
aid of two physicians who remained
with her through the night, as well
as friends who went in when the news
was received from the lake. Mr.
ment is for four months, starting on
July 1st.
The naming of Judge Campbell is a
just recognition of his excellent work
as a jurist, and his friends here, who
have known that there- were better
things'in store for him than this judg-
ship, ace much pleased with the gov-
ernor's action.
Under an act of the 1916 legisla-
ture the governor has the authority
to designate district judges to serve
on the supreme court bench for pe-
riods of four months at a time with
the same compensation allowed them
as district judges.
Judge Campbell's plans have not
been learned here, but it is known
that he will be here for a day or two
August 2nd to hold court.

Prank Green, of Sageeyah, was a
county seat visitor Tuesday.
Friday morning just as he was pre
paring to go farther away. In com-
pany with a boy friend, to show him
the route over the desert, he started
out in his car, which is a new Over-
land, to make the trip to the railroad.
All went well until one o'clock that
night when his car skidded and broke
the left front wheel, leaving the two
alone un the desert on foot with fifty-
two miles between them and the rail-
road . They began to walk with noth-
ing to eat or drink.
"All that could be seen," said Mr.
Gooch, "on all sides were sage brush,
cactus and sand. The climate is hot
arid no one can imagine the misery
we went through on that walk. My
feet got so sore from walking that I
tried it with bare feet but had to re-
turn again to my shoes. At last com-
pletely worn out we had to give up.
Soon we saw an Indian starting for
water in a wagon. We went to his
place and waited for some time until
he came back and then we got to ride
for about five miles. Then we press-
ed steadily on until at last we arrived
at our destination, completely worn
out. Had I been fortunate, with no
accidents, I could have gotten here
twenty-four hours earlier."
Mr. Gooch says all of the young
men in New Mexico are being rushed
to the border and that it is a common
sight to see weeping mothers, sisters
and sweethearts, grieving over the
boys' departure. He has vast leases
with seversl drilling contracts in
New Mexico and will return to com-
plete his work there in ten days or
two weeks. He says he does not know
yet whether he will be accompanied
by his family or not.
M. H. GREGORY DIES
M. H. Gregory, of Tiawah, died at
11 p. m. Sunday at his home at that
place. Funeral were held from the

At the time of his death Mr. Greg-
ory was 60 years of age. He was
originally from Independence, Kan.,
and has lived at Tiawah for tbe-paat
Ave years. He has been sick for sev-
eral months with liver trouble, which
malady caused his death.
He leaves to mourn his loss, a com-
panion and four childrea, three sons

wife, of Holdenville, and Reverend
A. M. Aylor and wife, of Indepen-
dence, Mo., all having been here for
the funeral services of Jesse Gooch,
returned to their respective homes
Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Cox had been washing and
was hanging out the clothes. #iie lit-
tle child was playing around and the
mother was not paying any particu-
lar attention to it, thinking it was
close by where she was working; hut
she happened to glanct up and saw
the little child's legs kicking up out
of a ditch tilled with water. The ditch
had been dug in making some repairs
on the waterworks, and was about a
foot and a half wide and about four
feet deep, extending some twenty feet
in length.
She screamed, and Mrs. M. P. Up-
degraff and Mrs. Andrew Musgrove
came running over, immediately tak-
ing in the situation. They pulled the
infant out of the ditch, and Dr. Ler-
skov was called. He arrived, and
only by heroic work which lasted a
couple of hours was the little child
brought back to life. Dr. Lerskov used
a small pulmotor in restoring life to
the child.
Although very sick from the ef-
fects of the experience Thursday
night the child was reported to be all
right Friday and will recover all O.
