A CHILD SCALDED.
A Little German Girl Meets With a
Horrible Accident.

Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30
o'clock, the three-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Obst, liv-
ing on Carr Hill, met with serious
accident, in which portion of her
body was horribly scalded.
At the hour stated, Mrs. Obst
was out in the rear yard washing
some clothes. She had placed a
boiler filled with water on a small
furnace, and went on about her
work. The child, after playing
around in the yard for some time,
went to the furnace, and pulled the
kettle of boiling water over. She
fell, as she did so. and the scalding
LIQUID covered her. The mother
heard the screams of her suffering
child and ran to her rescue. A ply
stefan was summoned, as hurriedly
as possible, and the burns were
properly dressed. Today the girl is
resting easily, and every hope OF
her recovery is entertained, though
it will be some time before she will
be able to be out of bed.

THEY PLAYED TOGETHER.
Ofhcer Wiley Finds a Tramp He Used to
Make Mud Pies With.

Make Mud Pies With.
Deputy Marshal Wiley, who guards
the Santa Fe yards at night, met a hobo
this week who proved to be one of his
old playmates Wiley encountered the
man in the yards, where tramps are not
supposed to venture. 1t was the chilliest
nj ght of the week and the man did not
have enough clothes on to make him
reasonably warm.
Come along with me-" said Wiley.
q don't want to be locked up"
81 won't lock you up"
Thus assured the tramp followed
Wiley. On the way he told pitiful
story about not having had anything tit
to eat for two days. He said also that he
lived in Indiana and had been in Colo
RADIO. He had started with enough
money to pay his railroad fare, but he
preferred to save 1t until he got pretty
near home, and then take a BATH
shave, haircut, and buy new
suit of clothes and fix up
generally. Tramps had robbed him Of
every cent the second day out, and now
he had given up the hope of shave and
other improvements and was satisfied to
travel on the rods and get one meal a
day. The tramp showed bruises where
the tramps had hurt him in taking his
money. Wiley took him over to a cheap
restaurant where the man ate 90 cents
worth. Baked beans, coffee and sand
wiches disappeared as though by magic.
When the man had satisfied his hunger
he felt more sociable and talked freely
about his old home. He lived on a farm
near ere Haute So had Wiley. He
questioned him about a number of the
well known families there and then said
DO you remember a family there
named Wileyf"
Yes, l do; and, by George, you're
John Wiley"
Wiley pleaded guilty and says the
stranger fell on his neck and shed
scalding tears on his chin. Wiley re-
membered him, too. They used to make
mud pies together in old Deacon Wiley's
orchard
