called the fire department to the Glow
& Hanson restaurant on West MAR
street. The woodwork over the large
brick oven had become overheated and
broken out in a blaze, with the result

sent in an alarm. Thru inexperience or
carelessness 1t was next to an impossi-
bility to register the number by the in
dicator at the central station, and some
little delay was experienced before the
department knew just where to go. Nor

jects seen in the city for some time is
a man who was on the streets las
night. With one leg off at the knee and
the other broken above the knee, he is
to move by sliding in sit
ting posture along the street. using his
hands and arms as a means of locomo-
ton. His name is Charles Steward, and
ten weeks ago he was in wreck on
the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf rail-
road, near Oklahoma City, in which his
two companions. who were riding in the
same car with him, We're killed. He
escaped with a broken limb, and for
some time was in a hospital at Oklaho-
ma City, which he left owing to the
lack of attention he received. He claims
to have Travelled $500 miles In his
present condition and is endeavoring to
reach Denver, where he says he has
relatives. He is unable to use crutches
owing to the fact that he, has not even
one good limb on which TO rest his
weight.
