WOMAN BADLY BURNED.
Mrs. Earle Evans Painfully Burned at
the Hamilton Yesterday.

Yesterday forenoon about 1890 o'clock
Mrs. Earle Evans was seriously burned
at the Hamilton hotel, her dress catching
tire from the flame of an alcohol stove.
1 Mr.. and Mrs. Evans have been accu-
tpying suite of rooms in this hotel since
their elegant home on North Market
street burned about week ago.
Mrs. Evans was heating milk over an
alcohol fame. and in some way she can
not explain the back of her dress caught
IRE and she was almost enveloped in
flames before she realized it. When she
discovered that her clothing was burn
Ing she began screaming and ran down
n flight of stairs to a hail. where she
fell Lieutenant Edwards and r. l.
Dutton, the day clerk, who were in the
Office, heard her screams and ran upstairs
to find her lying on her face enveloped
in flames. They grabbed blankets and
rugs and soon smothered the fire. but
only after Mrs. Evans was painfully
burned. When the clothing was taken
from her shoulders and back patches of
skin came of with it. The burns, how
ever. were confined to her back and
shoulders. She remained conscious
through the trying ordeal and showed re-
markabe courage.
DR. Purdue dressed the burns and says
that while they are painful they are not
dangerous.

WILL DOUBLE CAPACITY.
Watson Mill is Many Days Behind
Their Orders.

The Watson mill is running day and
night and is still over twenty days be
hind with orders. The people seem to
want Kansas hard wheat flour made at
Wichita.
The Watson people have bought the
machinery to double the capacity of their
mill and they win make other improve
nlents. II is Mr. Watsnn's intention to
build a large storage room SO as to give
more room in the mill for the new ma
CA.lnery.
The storage room will be built east Of
the mill and will extend TO the Nevling
switch. II viii be two stories high. The
first floor will be used for packing flour
and storing when short of cars The
bran and shorts will be sacked in the sec
ond story BY extending the building to
the Nevling elevator switch. -four can be
loaded while wheat is being unloaded
from the mill switch.
Mir Watson had another object besides
more room in the building Of the store
room He has discovered that by keep
ing the chutes open in order to run flour
from the mill into the cars that dust
from the outside is drawn into the mill
when the wind is strong. Mr. Watson
keeps his mill as clean as new pin
and less labor will be required 10 keep
it IN that condition when the large new
STORAGE building is completed.
The Eagle has many times predicted
that Wichita would become a great mill
ing center because Of its railroad faci'i-
ties and location in the center OF the
Kansas hard wheat belt. Mr. Watson is
doing Fl great deal u demonstrate the
trutbfulness Of that statertnt. He built
his mill OF 001 barrels day capacity
an. now he is doubling its size. He can
not grind flour as fast As the pcODle
call FOR IT.

threatened to prosecute these unless his
daughter promised she would not have
anything to do with Arthur Jones. She
promised and the young man was re-
leased. Miss Alexander went home with
her father.

PRAYER Meeting.

No matter what the attractions are at
other places in the city the crowds at
tending the revival services at the First

the interest in all the services is increas-

the church was filled. and after several
selections had been sung by the choir and
congregation. Miss Darl Oldfield sang a
beautiful solo with great earnestness.
The sermon was preached by Mr. Cor

BURGLAR WAS
FRIGHTENED
Away From Home of w. A.
Dye on North Washington.
AND DROPPED HIS BOOTY
Cigar Store in North End Was
Also Burglarized.
AND DROPPED HIS BOOTY

Tuesday night a burglar, evidently an
amateur, entered the residence of W. a.
Dye. at 1iS North Washington avenue.
and after ransacking the whole house,
secured a purse full of money, but be
came frightened by the return of the
family and dropped the booty.
Early in the evening the family left
,-e house and did not return until after
dark. Upon nearing the house they were
surprised TO hear sounds from the in
side. All the doors and windows had been
securely fastened when the family left
and they Immediately formed the opinion
that it was a burglar. Mr.. Dye walked
quietly up to the house, intending 10 sur
prise the marauder. When he stepped
an the porch there was a connection in
side and In a moment the door was
jerked open and the thoroughly frigten-
ed burglar ran out, almost jumping into
MIR. Dyes arms. Mr.. Dye was so startled
that he made no attempt to hold him
AS the burglar ran of the porch Mr.. Dye
noticed something fall on the boards
with a peculiar thud. and upon picking
il up discovered that it was a purse filled
with coin which the thief had started to
carry away The family entered the
house and found that the purse was the
only article the thief had taken. He had
gone through several drawers, but was
apparently after nothing but money. 1t
is thought he had a key and made his
entrance through the front door, as the
other doors remained fastened.
Burglars forced a window in the cigar
and confectionery store at the corner
OF Lawrence avenue and Twenty first
street Tuesday night They robbed sew
eral slot machines, securing a large guam
tity of nickeis. They also carried away
several boxes of cigars and chewing to-
bacco- They made good their escape and
the robbery was not reported until the
store was opened yesterday morning.

FOUND DIAMONDS IN A STONE
Picked Up Last Spring in Butler
County Stone Quarry

Mr.. T. H. Mahan of 1920 South To-
peka avenue found a diamond in a piece
of rock which his little grandson picked
up in a quarry two miles east of FL Do
RADIO last summer. Mr. Mahan and his
wife and grandson went out to the quar-
~ TO watch the blasts. After one of the
blasts dark gray rock fell from the larger
piece Of common limestone. 1t was some
thing of the size ard shape OF a foot
ball and the young boy found it and
placed it in the buggy and brought it
home with him. Mr.. Mahan brought it
to Wichita and threw il out into the
yard at his home.
A day or so ago he was out working
on a fence and in coming into the house
passed the rock. He was carrying his
sledge or his shoulder. He swung the
sledge and tapped the stone, which broke
Almost in the middle. In the center Of
the rock was a small hole which was
.-iled with sparkling stones They were
nothing but crystals, but fastened 10
the sides of the hole Were three or four
punches of crystals In the sunlight the
crystals sparkled and he examined them
closely and finally carried the stone into
the house. He broke off three of the
small pieces Of crystals and brought
them up town yesterday and had them
examined by jewelers.. Every one pro-
nOunced them diamonds OF me puIest
quality, with a slight blemish where
they were fastened to the rock.
Mr. Mahan wanted the jewelers. to
polish one for him and place it in
ring. but there was not a jeweler in
this city who had any machinery to do
this work. The stone cuts glass readily
am scratches the hardest steel Several
persons in this city are expert on dla-
monds and they have examined the stones
and pronounced them pure diamonds
Inc pieces will weigh about a karat
and A half in the rough, and even be-
fore polishing sparkle and glitter when
placed in the dark.
The stone in which the diamonds were
found is thought to be m2gnesia lime
stone formation and is boulder from
other sections Of the country, as its color
and appearance clearly show. Ii was i'm
bedded in the limestone and is round and
worn DerfectlV smooth.
