BAD LITTLE BOYs LOCKED UP.

Two PrecOciOus Criminals Held for
Stealing Lead Pipe Plumbing.
Bert Duncan and Fred Truax were locked
up In the city Jail yesterday on the charge
OF breaking and entering vacant house

IL years old, and was implicated a year ago
In several incendiary fires in the southwest
ern part of the city, one OF which destroyed
a house belonging to Alderman Shubert.
Two of his confederates were sent to the
reform school, but he escaped. The latest
escapade OF these boys consists OF breaking
into house on Ninth avenue, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, belonging
to the Union Pacific Railway company. The
house was temporarily vacant. On Friday
evening, after school, the boys went to the
rear OF the building, where they could work
unseen, and dug out enough bricks from
the foundation wall to admit them to the
basement Access to other parts of the
house was then easy. In the kitchen they
found lot OF lead pipe plumbing that struck
their fancies, and with an old hatchet they
cut the pipes and ruined the plumbing. They
carried away about twenty pounds OF the
lead pipe and tried to sell 1t at several of
the junk shops. but failed. Yesterday both
boys were preparing to run away from home
and the anxiety Of their parents to prevent
them led to their arrest by the police. The
boys supposed that their arrest was for their
GrpIedntions In the cottage, and each tried
TO outdo the other in confessing. General
Agent Henderson was sent for and consented
TO file All information against the boys. An
effort Will be made TO have the Duncan boy
examined by the commlss onors for the in

CORN BUHR FLIES TO PIECES
Serious Accident Occurs to the Vinegar
Factory's Machinery.
ONE MAN IS DANGEROUSLY INJURED
Andrew sorrcnson, Standing over the
stone When IL bursts, Gets
Badly Used Up by the
Flying BITS.

A serious accident occurred in the Council
Bluffs Vinegar works shortly after starting
yesterday morning. An old d-fashioned stone
buhr is used In grinding the corn required in
the manufacture OF vinegar. This buhr
bursted while running sending pieces in all
directions. seriously wounding Andrew Sor-
rcnson, who had charge OF the machinery,
and knocking down several other men In the
room.
The buhr was formerly used In the old
Crystal mills in this city, and did duty for
quarter of century before 1t was displaced
by the new roller process of making flour.
1t was three feet in diameter, and was COM
posed of many pieces Of stone, fitted together
and cemented and further strengthened by an
iron band. 1t was designed to run safely at
a speed of between $50 and 400 revolutions
per minute, and this was the speed at which
1t was normally driven at the vinegar works
II was being driven at this speed yesterday
morning and was doing its work properly
when the feed pipe. leading from the hopper
became choked and shut off the supply OF
grain. A twenty -fve-horse power engine
drives the machinery, and at the time 1t
was combining it's power exclusively TO this
buhr. The governing mechanism did not
work properly, and when the load was thrown

attention of Sorrenson. The buhr was then
being driven at about 1000 revolutions
minute. sorrenson was in the act of clear
ing the feed pipe when the buhr burst, heavy
pieces Of stone flying all over the room.
Sorrenson was knocked down and hurled
some distance from the machine. When
picked up he was unconscious. One piece
had struck him on the right side of the head,
laying bare the skull and cutting a cash
several inches long. The other men were
knocked down by the flying debris from the
wooden casing inclosing the buhrs, but were
not hit by the fragments of the milestone.
Their injuries were confined to severe con
tusione and slight flesh wounds, not at all
serious.
Sorrenson was quickly conveyed to his
home at II North Eighth street and DR.. Bar
stow summoned. An examination showed
that his right shoulder was badly crushed
and several ribs were broken, besides bad
cash in the head. His injuries are serious,
but his physician was inclined to the belief
that he would come out all right. Sorrenson
is nearly 80 years old, and has family
The damage win amount to about $500.
The terrific force cf the flying pieces is shown
by the damage to the building.

expected that he will allow himself to take
on more than three or tour pounds more
than he now weighs. The chances are very
great that he will not be called on to con-
cede more than fifteen pounds TO Corbett
when they enter the ring.
Fitz and Corbett narrowly missed meet
ing on the road this afternoon.
Oficial Weather Forecaster Young made
a strong play for public approval today by
astonishing natives and visitors with n
beautiful springlke day. The clouds OF last
night which threatened all sorts of dire
things in the weather line disappeared be-
fore morning and the sun climbed over the
dismal looking mountains east OF the town
without finding cloud in sight. The
hills which encircle Carson are still partly
covered with snow, but the warm sun to-
day played havoc with the beautiful and
the aggressive sagebrush Is again asserting
itself, the slopes fast assuming their nor
NAL dull brown appearance. The roads to
the training quarters, although still far
from boulevard condition, improved vastly
under todays sun, and the irrepressible
bicycle was frequently put to service this
evening by visitors to the camps OF the
fighters.
SHARKEY ARRIVES.
Among the more prominent persons who
arrived today were Harry Corbett, Wyatt
carp. Tom Sharkey and his manager. Danny
Lynch. Sharkey was well dressed and
looked well. He is the only man who has
ever tOuHnt DOtn COrDett anu VIZ, he
gave Corbett such a shaking up that the
latter became alarmed at his weakness and,
Il is understood, he began the day after the
fight Ito take care OF himself" and has
been ever since getting into condition-pre-
pairing for what was possible then and has
since been realized-his meeting with FitZ.
Corbett's friends say that his present superb
condition is attributable directly to the poor
showing he made when he ran up against
Sharkey.
Sharkey was cordial, but not very COM
municative. He said: II came here to
look at the fight, of course. l have been
up against both men and want to see what
they will do to each other. have not seen
them yet, but expect to, and am not pre-
pared to give an opinion now about their
condition. but / understand they are In fine
shape. The battle will doubtless be the
best ever fought in the ring"
The police force of Carson ordinarily con-
ssts of one man, who is on duty at night.
Twenty special deputy sherffs have been
sworn in and they are watching closely for
thieves, the natural supposition being that
the fight will attract them In tens IL not In
hundreds. Sheriff Kinney, who has charge
Of the force, has peculiar way of dealing
with tough characters. He gees quietly up
to the thief other undesirable visitor and
says to him: I'VE can get along without
you here and / advise you to go to Reno
by the first train" If the fellow is seen
after his departure he is arrested without
ceremony, locked in a box car and sent out
of town.

Ancient Deed Filed for Record.

The oldest unrecorded deed in the history
of Pottawattamie county was filed for record
yesterday in the office of County Recorder
Shepard. The conveyance was dated June
6, 1854, and conveyed to Elias Thornton lot
80, original plat of the city. 1t was issued
by County Judge Franklin Street. and con-
veyed the property in consideration Of $3.50.
The deed was one of a great number that
were issued about that time. A large part
of the city was held under old Mormon titles,
and the titles became so badly mixed that
an act OF congress was passed legalizng the
transfers by directing the county Judge to
sign warranty deed in consideration of the
usual fees. Mr. Thornton has had this ancient
deed safely stored away among his papers for
more than forty years, and during all of this
time there was not a scratch on the county
records to show that he had any sort of
claim to the lot where he has lived all of the
time. 1t is now known as 400 South First
street, and is a fine old home. 1t has been
assessed annually in his name and no one
has ever taken the trouble to dispute his
claim. II the deed had been lost it would
have required great deal OF trouble for him
to have established his claim.
