TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AVERTED
Little Nephew and Daughter of j. III. #.
Moseiey Burned by the Explo-
sion of a Lamp.

Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock a
lamp exploded in the home of j. H. f.
Moseley editor of the Labor Advocate; his
nephew, Carl Caker, 9 years of age, and
Willie May, his 7-year-old daughter, being
painfully but not dangerously burned. Mr..
Moseley himself sustained a number of
his daughter and nephew from terrible
death. Mr.. Moseley resides in Allan avenue
near to Wesley chapel; his family consist
ing of himself, his six children, and his
mother At the time of the accident the
whole family were in one room on the sec
ond floor, the lamp being on the dresser.
Mr.. Moseley was reading at a table, his
little nephew, Carl, being upon the rug be-
fore the hearth. Suddenly Mr.. Moseley
heard rafting of glass, and in another
moment his nephew sprang from the rug,
his clothing covered with flaming oil Mr..
Moseley' instantly grabbed up a garment
and threw it around the boy. This no doubt
saved the chld's life; when turning around
he was shocked to see that his little girls
feet had in some way become ignited. Rush
ing to her assistance he quickly smothered
the flames. The screams of Mr.. Moseley's
mother and children attracted the attention
of the worshippers at a prayer meeting in
Wesley chapel, near by, and several of
those in the church to the assis lance
of the family. D. Wood the son of II. d.
Wood; Walton McCasky and Gustav Doug
lass were among the foremost rendering as
sistance. But for their timely arrival the
entire house would have been destroyed.
The damage as it was did not exceed $25.
Mr.. Moseley had his hands done up in
bandages yesterday. His nephew's right
thigh and leg were severely burned Willie
May narrowly escaped serious injury, as it
was her feet were badly blistered. None
of the injuries are regarded as serious.

OFFICERS AFTER A
DESPERATE NEGRO
Ambrose Tatum Located in House
in Second Avenue.
AGAIN MADE HIS ESCAPE
Assaulted Officer Driver of the Pratt
City Force With Lead Pipe
and Beat Him Into Insen-
sibility Saturday

Considerable excitement was created
early yesterday morning in the neighbour
hood of Second alley and Fourteenth street
by the report that Ambrose Tatum, a bad
~ wanted negro, had been located in the
rear OF a house between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets.
On Saturday last Tatum assaulted officer
Driver of the Pratt City Police force with
piece of lead pipe, beating him into in
sensibility, and made his escape.
Officer Manaseo telephoned to police head
quarters about 10 o'clock that he had rea-
son to believe that the negro was secreted
under the house at 1414 Second avenue.
officers Brown and Gray responded ON
horseback. Messrs. Disheroon and Leiteh
also arrived on the scene simultaneously
with the former.
The officers, knowing the recklessness of
tle aeSro, distributed themselves about
the place, one of them standing guard in
front of the Globe saloon, No. 1414 Second
avenue. When entrance was gained to
the house the officers discovered that the
bdrd had in some mysterious manner flown,
the only part of him left behind being
some of his old clothes.
Officer Monasco was positive that the man
was in the house when he phoned for rein
forcements. He had been informed that
Tatum had barricaded himself the Sec
ond floor of the house. The police lowered
in the locality for some little time hoping
to catch a glimpse of their man, but ae
was nowhere to be seen.
1t seems that Policeman Driver attempted
to arrest the brother-in-law of Tatum,
Aleck Monroe, Saturday, and this caused
Tatum to assault Driver Tatum took
Drivers pistol iron his pocket before he
assaulted him.
According ITO Chief of Police Austin,
Tatum is a desperate man, and a vicious
fighter. II is not thought that he will en-
joy his liberty for any length of time.

HORRIBLE IDEA
Prisoners Plead for Clemency Because
of Christmas

In Jail at Christmas IS an idea too her-
rible to consider by many who spend two
thirds of their time boarding at the city
expense, and the plea that it is a season
of peace and forgiveness Is worked on the
presiding genius at the lower court for all
it is worth.
Alfonso Mann, an old patron of this court,
was one of those who thought Jail would
be dreary place in which to hang. up his

Rouse Tor winter BrOOderSs
The plan here given has been found
well adapted to the use Of winter brood
ing hens. It consists of a partly under
ground basement, over which double
sloping roof is placed with glass on the
south side. By protecting the lower
part of the house, which is built up of
stone concrete-or If of wood, the walls
are doubled and the sash doubled, with
an air space Of four inches between,
artificial heat will not be needed, except
perhaps for a few of the coolest days
and nights in the winter. For these,
sufficient warmth may be secured by
means Of an oil stove or a painful of red
hot wood or coal set on the floor. The
shutters shown on the front will make
q good protection during stormy wealth
er when the winds are blowing cold. In
the front is a small entrance door which
Is kept closed when not in use, and the
main door is on the further end oppo-
site the ventilator in the front gable.
The house faces the south and the lower
part is five feet deep from the level of

How to Grow Pumpkins.

Pumpkins are usually grown in the
corn field, under the superstition that it
is economical to grow them In that
manner, but the land does not respond
to two crops as favorably as to one. The
proper way to grow pumpkins is to pre-
pare piece Of ground for them and
grow them as a special crop, apart from
corn. They can then be better culti-
waited and will produce greater weight
than when grown in the corn field. AS
food in winter In connection with
grain, pumpkins are excellent especial
" for cattle.

fact, has devised a very effective pie
cutter. AS shown in the illustration, 1t
consists of a fat, triangular blade for
insertion under the lower crust and
a sharp knife blade, supported in
vertical position, with relation to the
base piece. This knife blade is manip-
ulated by means of scissorslike ar
rangement, and as both the bottom and
the end have cutting edges it is quite
a pleasure to cut through a hard cake
or delicate pie crust with the device.
