safe door. and blew it open with dyna-
mite, but the noise led to their dis
covery and they escaped on their
wheels. At Elk Point, s. D.. burglars
entered the residence of c. j. Fox.
They got $2.75 in silver, a diamond ring

Mayer, lis west Tenth street, is at the
city hospital horribly burned about the
face and body. She is in an extremely

considered improbable. Mrs. Mayer
yesterday morning locked herself in
her bathroom, saturated her clothing
with coal oil and set it on fire. A mo-
ment later she opened the door n
dashed into the kitchen a veritable
human torch. Freddie Mayer, her thir-
t~een-year-old son, smothered the
flames in the folds of a heavy rug, but
not in time to save her from burns that
will probably prove fatal. Mrs. Mayer
was at once removed to the city .hospi-

all 81 the trunk is frightfully burned
and. the charred flesh dropped in strips
from her face. The woman's husband

Of the arrival of the flying squadron at
Ciehfuegos, Mr.. Hanna called attention
to- the fact that the log of the Texas

showed that that vessel steamed for an

their testimony was fmmaterial, but
that it related to a conversation which

Mr.. Isayner placed Richards on the
stand and forced the objection to be
made in open court. Court took a re-
