t iO. i BRIDGES
IEI HI I SHOT
DRILLERS EXPECT TO CLEAN
OCT BY MIDDLE OF AFTER-
■S- NOON TODAY.
(Temple Tele-gram Special.)
Santa Anna, Tex., May 18.—The
Oladys Belle Pope No. 5 was given a
sixty-quart shot this afternoon and
bridged over. It Is estimated that it
will take until about the middle of
tomorrow afternoon to clean out the
«r*!l and got down to the oil sand
•gain.
The Fuller well continues to flow.
This well is located about a quarter
of a mile from the Pope well and
f, started last Saturday, although it had
jHsver flowed In its previous history.
It had been ^a pumper ever since it
tame in some time ago. Since the
flow began its production has mater-
frlly increased. The small size of the
pipe prevents its being anything like
the Pope well though local experts
believe that if It had a chance it
blight be Just as good as the bigger
well.
As far as can be determined the
•hot in the Pope well went off per
fectly. It is predicted that the flow
' will be in the neighborhood of a thou
■and barrels when the bridge is clean
cd out.

Failure of Small

Caused a Big Stir
(Assoclated^Press Dispatch )
Topeka, Kan., May 18.—The state
banking department today took over
control of the Hanover State Bank at
Handover, Washington county, and the
Aulne State Bank of Aulne, Marion
county, the two banks whose failures
were reported by the state bank com-
missioner , W. E. Wilson yesterday.
The warrant for the arrest of V.
D. Johnson, cashier of the Aulne
bank, is in the hands of Marioh coun-
ty officers.
As to rumors on the New York and
Chicago stock markets today relative
to "bank failures in Kansas," Mr.
Wilson said;
"They certainly have gone wild to
make out that the failure of two small
Kansas banks should affect the coun-
try's market centers. In the Hanover
bank It Is safe to say the depositors
will not lose a dollar even though the
bank was not under the protection of
the state guaranty law. In the Aulne
bank the loss probably will not ex-
ceed $25,000."
The whereabout of August Jaedick,
president of the Hanover bank, are
not known to the state banking de-
partment, or It is said to his family.

Boy Plays Hanging,
Killed by Noose
(Temple Telegram Special.)
New York, May IT.—While testing
a hangman's noose which he playfully
had threatened to use on one of his
younger brothers whom he accused of
taking a fountain pen cap Solomon
Bernstein, fifteen years old, was acci-
dentally strangled to death yesterday
afternoon in the cellar of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bernstein, 1165
Forty-second Street, Borough Park,
Brooklyn.
Solomon went to school yesterday
and was returning home with his two
younger brothers, Samuel, thirteen,
and Isidore, ten, when he saw the
cap of a fountain pen lying oy the
sidewalk. He picked it up, put It in
his pocket, and the three continued
on their way home. When they got
home the rain was still falling, and
they were unable to go out to play.
They went to the cellar and Solomon
took the fountain pen cap out of &is
/The brothers were romping about
wnen Holomoiv dropped the fountain
pen * cap, which rolled into an ob-
scure corner. The lads began a search
for the lost article but could not find
It." Solomon accused the youagster,
Isidore of having it, and demanded
its return. Isidore denied he had tak-
en the cap. Solomon said, "If you
don't give me that fountain pen cap.
I'll give you just one hour to live."
Solomon searched about the <;ellar
for some kind of an "instrument of
torture." to make the younger broth-
er "confess." He found a rope and
began to fashion a hangman's noose.
"I'll show you the way they used
to treat fellows like you in the old
days," threatened Solomon. He placed
a tub on the floor under a beam, ap-
proached the younger brother and
started to put the noose around the
letter's neck. Just then his mother
called the two youngest boys to go on
an errand to a store in the block. They
made their purchases and returned In
about fifteen minutes, and went back
to the cellar to brave the mimic
wrath of their older brother.
When they entered the cellar, how;
ever, they saw the form of Solomon
on the floor. The rope was drawn
tightly about his neck. A policeman
was called and he sent for Dr.* Joseph
Bernstein. The , physician found the
boy was dead. The tub on which the
boy had stood was kicked almost to
pieces, indicating that Solomon had
mad* s desperate struggle to save
himself when he found the
which he probably had "tried out"
playfully, drawn too tightly around
his. neck. He had loosened the rope
from the beam but apparently did
not have sufficient strength to re-
move the noone from his neck.
And the entry on the police blotter
gave the cause of death as suicide.
