IN COAL SHOE
What might have been a very
! serious accident was providentially
! averted this morning, when Oscor
| Rothenburg, who was engaged in
unloading a carload of coal into the
bunkers of the power plant, was
shot through the car with a coal
j slide and escaped with a few bruises
only.
A Roger ballast car filled with
j coal was on the elevated track at
the back of the bunkers, and Roth
enburg and a helper were trying
to unload it. The coal was to be
dumped through the center of the
car and the boards holding it were
accordingly released.
Owing to the frozen state of the
coal, the car did not dump as well
as usual and Rothenburg got on top
of the car to help force down the
coal. The mass gave w-ay suddenly
and he was shot through the bottom
of the car to the bunker below-, but
fortunately the surrounding coal
held, or else the man might have
been killed. He was buried almost
up to the waist in the coal, but did
not sustain more than a few bruises
as a result of the accident.

REHABILITATION
OF NENANA CLUB
IS NOWJSSUREO
About thirty-two members of the
Nenana club met last night at the
chambers of the Nenana Commer
cial club in the Union building, in
response to the notice calling a
special meeting.
Frederick D. Browne, chairman
of the club, called the meeting to
order and explained its purpose.
He quoted facts and figures to
show that it was suicidal for the
club to attempt to continue as be
fore in the old building used by
the club, owing to the enormous
expense it entailed, and even though
Dr. Bowen had consented to make
a very liberal reduction in the
rent, the other items of expense1
which would be absolutely neces
sary would render the continuance j
of the club in the old quarters
simply out of the question. The
action taken by the trustees of the
club in giving up the old quarters
was then ratified by the member
ship.
The chairman stated that tenta
tive arrangements, subject to the
approval of the Nenana Commercial
club, had been made for the meet
ing held last night,, and that ar
rangements had also been made,
subject to certain conditions, for
the renting of a portion of the
Union Building, to include that por
tion used weekly by the Nenana
Commercial club for a very reason
able sum per month, which would
[ include heating, lighting and jani
tor service. This portion of the
I building, with a few minor altera
i tions, would, it was thought, serve
the purpose of the club very well
as a temporary measure and enable
it to get ahead a little. The chair
man wished to ascertain the wishes
of the members in the matter.
After some desultory discussion,
during which the matter was thor
oughly gone into in every detail,
the members present unanimously
agreed to the change and to the ac
ceptance of the temporary quar
ters until such time as the club
would be able to either build their
: own club house buy a suitable
1 building or rent suitable quarters.
With the ratification of the action
! of the trustees and the acceptance
! of the temporary quarters, the spe
i cial meeting which was more or less
informal in character, was brought
, to a close.
] The organization had no by-laws
i or rules of procedure; these having
> been suspended indefinitely, but, it
I was the wish of the members pres
i ent that the regular annual meet
| ing be called immediately, and it
| was done accordingly.
The officers elected at the last
meeting were confirmed for the
ensuing year; reports from the va
rious committees were received and
new instructions were issued to
| those committees whose reports were
I not ready. The committee on by
j laws, through its chairman, then
.submitted the new by-laws which
! had been prepared. The new by
llaws were read by sections and duly
'confirmed and accepted by the
members.
The resignation of the secretary
was discussed and his successor
named, but owing to some delay,
inevitable in this case, the present
secreary agreed to serve until his
successor could conveniently take
' over affairs.
j Considerable discussion was in
| dulged in regarding the changes
j necessary and otherwise in the club
. rooms to be, but no definite action
| was taken. The house committee
j was empowered to collaborate with
I the Commercial club and see what
could be done. The trustees were
j empowered to gather data and sub
mit plans, cost, etc. for a permanent
I home for the club, and report, if
possible, at the next club meeting.
j Much time will, of necessity, have
to elapse ere definite action could
be taken on any of the plans which
the trustees would submit, and ir
the meantime the organization wil'
II be held together in the present
! quarters. The members present un
i animously agreed to stand by th«
