and where fires occur in the dry sea
son every year. destroying vast areas
of magnificent timber. At these sta

in cXtinguishing it.
The first system to be set in opera
ton will he in the Black hills. Twelve
forest rangers are employed by the gov
eminent there, and it is proposed to
divide the territory into twelve sec
lions, with a ranger in charge of each.
The ranger is to give an alarm indie

William Reese. better known as
''Chinless Bill" because of a facial
deformity. is being held at the police
station on the charge of malicious
mischief. The crime is serious and
indictable one and Mr.. Reese stands
in good form for a session before the
grand jury. Sunday night he took on
board enough beverage of different
brews to stock a tank car and went out
looking for trouble. He found 1t on
East Second street, in front of the
Biscuit company's office, where he en-
countered a fellow who called his Drag
gadocio. Reese made a punch at the
fellow with a forceful fist and sent
the man crashing through the plate
glass. 1t took only few moments to
haul Reese to the station, where he is
still held pending a preliminary hear
ing on the charge of malicious mis-
chief.

Another tragedy was all but added
TO the list chargeable to the gasoline
stove. in Davenport, yesterday. Had
it not been Labor day. and therefore
a holiday for her husband, who thus
happened to be at hand for her rescue,
Mrs. J. G. Anthony of IS Riverview
place would undoubtedly have been
burned to death. At about s o'clock
Mrs. Anthony in filing her gasoline
stove, spilled home of the liquid onto
the stove. Unaware of the fact, in
moving the stove a moment later, the
liquid spilled off onto her clothes, and
the fumes caught fire at once from
the stove which was burning. The
unfortunate woman was wrapped in
flames in an instant, and only the pres
ence of Mr. Anthony in the room saved
her life He seized an old piece of
carpet, threw it around his wife, and
smothered the flames. beating out with
his hands such of the blaze as escaped
the Unfolding carpet. Mrs. Anthony
was quite seriously burned on the
arms, side, face and chest, but FORUM
ately did not inhale the flames, and is
expected to recover. Mr.. Anthony was
quite badly burned on the hands and
wrists, also, in eXtinguishing the
flames.
