stove in the room, the result was
such that the ''fend" was consid-
erably surprised, and the family nor
rifed. The stuff exploded, Knocked the
stove nearly in the middle of next week,
and soaked the carpet, scorched the
furniture, and came near causing a
disastrous fire. The flames were

with peddling without a license. This
morning that charge not holding good,
as Walrich established the fact that he
was merely soliciting orders, he was
dismissed by His Honor.
