West DEBORAH Annexed to DEBORAH at
a Special Observation-Disclosures
Of an OIL Company Response.
BILE for Three Deaths.

A special election was held Tuesday
on the question of annexing West De-
corah to DEBORAH. West DEBORAH has
been separate city with it's mayor
and council, but has had her mail de-
ltvered from the DEBORAH postofice.
The councils of both cities appointed
a commission which drew up articles
by which it was agreed that West De-
corah should be annexed to the city
as the Fifth ward. Annexation was
opposed in West DEBORAH on account
OF taxes and the fear of getting sa.
looms. It was opposed on the East
Side by the saloon men, who feared
that If West DEBORAH were annexed
the saloons would have to close and
circulate a new consent petition in
the combined city, requiring 80 per
cent of the voters Annexation car
ried, nevertheless, in West DEBORAH
by ten and in DEBORAH by seventy.

carelessness Causes Three Deaths,
Since the deaths of Mrs. Herman
Moon and baby and Sophia Mackaben,
which occurred during the past week
at Nashua as the result of an ex-
plosion of kerosene oil, samples of the
oil used in both instances have been
tested and found to contain gasoline.
It is said that the company of whom
the oil in this city was bought made
q mistake in filling the big supply
tank and large quantity of gasoline
was poured into it. A large quantity
of high grade kerosene was then put
in to Offset the danger. Later devel.
opments show that in neither of the
above mentioned cases did the oil
come in contact with the fire.
