Escape Death In water
Boiler Explosion.

HARTFORD, Conn, May 1A-By an ex-
plosion at the Hartford club last night q
part OF the building was wrecked and a
panic followed. One or two dinner parties
were being held, and the reception and
reading rooms were well filled. Suddenly
there was a roar in the kitchen and the
whole building seemed to lift. The water
boiler attached to the huge range had ex-
ploded.
The heavy brick wall was blown across
the lawn a hundred feet, barring the main
entrance to the club. The rooms we're filled
with men who we're thrown in heaps with
tables, chairs. pictures and glasses. The
support to the floors we're blown out, but
fortunately they did not go down. Not a
whole piece of glass or crockery was left in
this part of the building, and in the main
part doors were blown on, and elegant fur
nishings damaged The main and private
dining rooms and the p~antries and base
ment were. a mass of w~reckage- So far as
known no one was seriously hurt.

RULING FOR THE SHEEP MEN
Former Habitat Of FloCks to Be Considered
in Grazing Applications
RESIDENCE OF OWNER NOT IMPORTANT
". n. Richards, Commissioner of ths
Land once, Greatly Beneated by
Trip to the Northern
woods.
From a stan Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May lA-(special Tele-
gram. GThe Interior department has made
an important ruling upon the question Of
sheep grazing in forest reserves and under
which the habitat Of the sheep and nom
residence OF owners will be considered in
passing upon applications for grazing per-
mits. The ruling was made upon the APP
plication OF Thomas Painter, Evanston.
Wyo.. who wishes TO Craze sheep in the
Unitah reserve, Utah. Painters application
was denied by the supervisor in charge Of
the reserve on the ground that Painter re-
sided I'M Wyoming and that the reserve
was open only to stock of Utah residents.
Appeal from this ruling was presented to
the department by Painter through Sem
ator Warren and showing was made that
Painter owned lands and sheep and paid
taxes on them In Utah and had been ac-
customed to range his sheep on lands IN
cluded in the reserve before its establish
ment as such. The department now directs
the supervisor to approve Painters appli-
cation and in similar cases will consider
applications for grazing privileges on the
line OF the new ruling.
Richards Has. Recovered.

general land Office, who has been in north

AFTER BETTER CAR SERVICE
West Omaha Improvement CIub Has
Several Schemes 20 Pre-
sent.

At the meeting Of the West Omaha Inn
provement club last evening the subject OF
additional and improved street car service
10 that section was thoroughly discussed.
The committee appointed by the club for
the purpose Of comforting with the officials
OF the street railway company said that
they had been unable to meet with any OF
the oficials as yet. After considerable dis
cussion Il was decided that the committee
should be instructed to work for the ex
tension OF the Farnam line to the Belt line
at Fortv-sixth street and for increased
service 60 the north and west of Fortieth
street, either in the shape of a line north
on Fortieth or by an extension west from
Thirty-third street on California to Dundee.
There was a decided opinion in favor OF
the latter route and the vacation OF Dodge
street by the car line in order that Dodge
might be macadamiEed through to the
country. The members present seemed to
fear that an injunction would be brought
forth by Dodge street residents to stop any
such action on the part Of the street car
company. But Il was their idea that Dodge
street should be made another inlet to the
city for farmers and that Il would prove of
inestimable benefit TO the farmers and the
city.
In connection with the extension on Far
nam II was argued that q great many pas
sengers on the Missouri Pacific get on at
the station there and come into Omaha
more Quickly by walking to the Farnam
line and then riding in. It was also stated
that the Missouri Pacific had set 5000 aside
several years ago for the building OF n sta
ton at West Side and the extension Of the
car line to the present station would faciIi-
tate the building Of the station.
The club also took up the matter Of lights,
sewers and other local city improvements
The various committees making their re-
ports and showing slight progress.
The club then adjourned to meet on May
Is. when the committee on street railways
would have more definite information for
the club.
