NINETEENTH YEAR
TRACTOR ACCIDENT
CAUSES DEATH OF
PROMINENT CITIZEN
W. J. Glazener, Welt Known and Re-
spected Citizen of Ricardo, Dies
From Injuries Received In Fall
From Tractor.
Mr. W. J. Glazener, prominent citi-
zen of the Ricardo community, met
with a fatal accident last Friday after-
noon when, in reversing his Fordson
tractor, his foot slipped and he fell
between the tractor and the plow
which was attached to it. With great
presence of mind, Mr. Glazener kicked
the fuel control, and by a miracle, shut
off the engine. He was pinned face
down, with the wheel of the plow on
one elbow, and a lug of the tractor
wheel crushing the other upper arm
and side, horribly bruising the flesh
of the arm, and breaking a rib. which
punctured the lungs. He was unable
to reach his face with either hand to
get the dirt away, but managed to
work the soft earth away with his
chin so that he was able to breathe.
He was thus pinned for something
like three hours, at the far side of the
field. When he failed to come in at. C
o’clock, his sons, Arthur and Caleb,
went in the car to see what was tlie
trouble. They found their father still
conscious. It was necessary to lift the
plow clear of the ground, and away,
and then start the tractor and drive it
off the arm. Dr. Robertson was sum-
moned, and at the same time, Dr. D.
P. Airhart, Mr. Glazener’s pastor. Sat-
urday and Sunday there was no
change in his condition, lmt on Sun-
day night Mr. Glazener died, surround-
ed by his family and friends.
William Jasper Glazener was born
in Brevard. N. C., September 10. 1S7G.
He was converted at about the age of
24, and united with the Baptist church.
He was married in 1899 to Miss Myr-
tle Nunnery. He is survived by his
wife and eight children, two brothers
arid six sisters. The children are Ar-
thur L.. Annie, Caleb, Gertrude, Ver-
gie, Mattie, Ollie, Novell, all of whom
are living, two of them, Gertrude and
Caleb, being students at the Teachers
College in Kingsville, the younger
children attending school in Ricardo.
The funeral was held at. 2:00 o’clock
Monday afternoon, at the cemetery in
Bishop. Mr. Glazener had been a citi-
zen of Bishop for about ten years
prior to moving to the Ricardo com-
munity. The services were conducted
by his former pastor, Rev. O. J. Cole,
with Dr. D. P. Airhart, Rev. J. P. King
and Rev. A. A. Harrel participating.
The pall bearers were Mr. H. A. Schar-
loeh of Bishop. Mr. Henry Mayhawk
of Kingsville, Mr. Jno. Nix, Mr. C. N.
Ford, Mr. A. A. Nix and Mr. Ross
Pruitt, all of Ricardo. A very large
company attended the services, every
community in Kleberg county being
represented, as well as a large num-
ber of friends from his former home,
Bishop. The Ricardo community at-
tended almost in a body.
Sunday services at the little Ricar-
do church, where Mr. Glazener had
given so much of time and money, had
been dispensed with, on account of
(be serious condition of their fellow
member; school was dismissed on
Monday; and all business houses in
Bishop were closed during the hour of
BOY SCOUTS WILL
RUN CITY AFFAIRS
ONE DAY ONLY
Election to Be Held Next Saturday for
City Officers Who Will Have Charge
of City Departments March 6th.
The city of Kingsville have asked
the Boy Scouts to take charge of the
city affairs and run the business for
one day. That day is to be the sixth of j
March, 1926.
Many towns and cities over the
United States are giving this honor to
the Boy Scouts. It is just another step
forward in the right kind of encour-
agement for the coming men of the
next generation.
The three troops in Kingsville are
making every effort to act in the fair
and square way becoming a Scout in
the matter of selecting the officers for
llie day. There seems to be a partial
ticket representing each troop and
from the election speeches that have
already been delivered among the
Scouts the race seems to be a hot one
from the start.
Next Saturday morning at eleven
o'clock over in the old lire station the
Scouts of Kingsville will register their
votes for their choice of the city
‘Dads’ to be all selected from the nam-
es officially printed on their ballots.
The election will last just one hour.
Mayor Goode will act as judge while
three Scouts will be judges and clerks
to help him tally the votes.
To vote a boy must be at least a
tenderfoot scout, have his card or he
vouched for by his Scoutmaster

The car is traveling under the au-
thority of the American National Red
Cross over the various railroad sys-
tems of the country, being at the pres-
ent time on the affiliated lines of the
Missouri Pacific. Lectures art! given
to railroad groups, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, policemen, firemen, schools
and colleges and wherever their ser-
vices are demanded. These talks con-
sist «»f It short discourse on Safety
First and Accident Prevention, which
is followed bv a .practical demonstra-
tion of First Aid. The work is simpli-
fied as fur as possible so that there
will be no (rouble in getting the meth-
ods even though the work is necess-
arily brief, fn addition to the regular
talk the demonstrators use a subject
and show the work as applied in em-
ergency cases. They .also stress the
fact that First Aid does not take the
place of a doctor, but merely puts the
patient in the doctor's hands alive if
possible and if alive in the best con-
dition possible.
The work includes the treatment of
shock, control of hemorrhage, treat-
ment of wounds, treatment of burns,
removal of foreign bodies from the
eye. reductions of dislocations, treat-
ment of fracture before attempted
transportation, as well as a discussion
of unconsciousness and artificial res

The City Commission is also very
anxious to install gas mains and hit

of the city where paving is to be done
before the paving work begins. Just
whether or not this will be possible
remains yet in doubt.
There have been rumors and coun-
ter rumors going the rounds of the
city that tin* original purchasers of the
bonds for tin* paving had not and
would not take up the bonds. Mayor
Goode, when seen by the repr» senta

company had not yet made any state
merit to the effect that they would not
lake up ihe bonds; in fact they were
not in position to take action until the
bonds bad been approved by the Attor-
ney General. “However," said the
Mayor, "should they elect not, to carry
out their contrail, we have two other
