BADLY BURNED WHILE ON VISIT
Ewel Dixon, who recently went to visit his sister and brother-in-law who reside near Fort Worth, Texas was the victim of a serious accident on December 23d. He was assisting his brother-in-law in making repairs on an automobile, and while emptying a vacuum tank, some of the gasoline ran down his sleeve. Then he passed to near a torch, which ignited the gas and only the thoughtfulness of his brother-in-law saved him from possible fatal burns. There was a blanket near at hand, and Ewel was thrown to the ground and rolled in the blanket and the flames extinguished. He was taken to the hospital and treated for a couple days and it is not believed that the burns will result in anything worse than some body scars.

OBITUARY
On Dec.31, 1884, there was born to Mr. J. T. Dixon and his wife, Mary Dixon of Cross Timbers, Mo., a son whom they christened Ewel. From early boyhood, Ewel loved to watch the railroad trains go by loaded with passengers and freight and he told his father that some day he was going to be a railroad man, so as soon as he was old enough his father allowed him to obtain employment with a railroad company where Ewel earnestly and faithfully set about to make his dreams come true and his keen desire was shortly realized as his proficiency obtained for him a permanent position where with his hand upon the throttle of an engine, he too, pulled trains of people and freight over the tracks of a railroad and from then until his death on the 14th day of August, 1934, he was a member in good standing of the order of "Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
He was kind-hearted and never turned a deaf ear to the pleadings of the hungry for food or to the moans of the cold for clothing and shelter and to this conception of duty he contributed freely and unselfishly.
In 1914 his father, J. T. Dixon was called to his reward, followed by his mother in 1933. He was also preceded in death by two sisters, Lora and Clara and leaves living two brothers, Earl and Hiram of Guymon, and two sisters, Gertrude Meed and Iona Freeman, both of Dalhart, Tex.
Ewel since 1916 has lived on his farm near Guymon, having given up railroading that he might be near and care for his mother whom he loved so devoutly . He was a hard worker and a successful farmer, and in his dealings with his fellow, he was honest and truthful
