Badly Burned.

Billy Flynn was brought to the
city from his ranch in Mclean Co
Saturday night. He is suffering
from terrible burns which he sus.
tanned in a fire which burned his
stable that day. He had visited
Underwood, and had but just re-
turned in time to see a prairie fire
headed his way and running before
a heavy gale. He attempted tc
pillow a few burroughs, but the fire
was running too fast. Taking his
team to a place devoid Of grass, he
hitched them and started for the
stable to liberate his other horses
The fire was then about a hun
dred feet distant. He managed to
free three OF his horses when the
stable, a straw and manure struct-
ure, caught. The flames swept over
and through the stable as if it was
powder, and he had to fight his
way so feet to the door amidst the
rearing and plunging of the fright
ened horses. He was knocked down
but regained his feet and fought
through the flames seeing the flesh
peel from his hands and the horses
as he did So. Gaining the open air
his clothes from head to waist were
nearly all burned off and he jumped
into a large watering trought which
he says saved his life. One horse
escaped but was blinded. Will suf-
fered no harm to his eyes. He was
hurried to Underwood, AZ miles,
where a young lady physician, who,
was visiting there, dressed his burns
and cared for him from midnight
until the train arrived the follow
ing noon. He is now at St. Alex
JUS hospital, his face, hands and
shoulders in a frightful condition,
but the physicians say he will not
be badly disfigured excepting prob
ably his hands, this fortunate cir
cumstance being greatly due to the
timely service rendered by the lady
at Underwood. It is quite hardf for
him to talk because of facial burns
and he is unable to help himself
in any way. The barn, four head
of horses and all harnesses we're
burned. Report has it that the
E. S. Neal ranch suffered from the

Mckenzie County, organized by
an act of the last Legislature, and
including in its confines the unor-
ganized counties of Alfred and Wal
lace, has almost full complement
of Offices, but not a town in the
county which might be designated
as a county seat. There is not an
attorney in the new county o a
resident school teacher, and no APP
pointment was made for states at
torney or superintendent ofschoolss
Governor Sarles named the first
officers of the county as follows:--
Commisssoners:-A F. Noble,
chairman; Frank Banks and J. II.
Shaw.
Sherif:-Frank Poe.
Auditor:--B. w. Dimmick.
Treasurer:-B. w. Millham.

The new county is settled by
ranchers, and the officers ate chosen
from a list submitted TO the Gov
ernor by the citizens thereof. II
will also fall to the lot Of the Gov
ernor to locate the county seat, but
it is not likely that this will be done
until there are some new townsites
opened up in the territory.-Forum

his father the old man, and goes

FORTUNE WAITING
For Man Wko Can Invent Metal
 Sounding Board fo Pianos.

From the New York Press
 If you will invent a metal sounding board that will not produce a metallic ef- feet l will give you 100000 for it." said piano maker Enormous sums have been expended in experiments, and we still use wood. The grain of the wood carries the sound, as a wire carries the electric current It Is a thousand pities that sounding boards crack so soon. There is grand piano in New Yorl's
 biggest hotel that cost S30O0 It Is less than five years old. yet there are cracks in the sounding board drought which 1 could pitch silver dollars. What IS to
 be done in such a case? Buy new piano.
 Have the piano makers tried papier-
 mache for sounding boards? Paper is simply another form of wood, and you cannot crack it when pressed into de- sired shapes. We are gradually metl- lizing our instruments" said a dealer, Many parts of the action which hither- to constructed of wood are made of brass or steel. The steel frame on which the strings are strung must withstand a tension of thirty tons. The average in- ventor never thinks of improving the piano because he does not understand the Fmechanism. There Is fortune in new and useful appliances. One firm gave s10000 for patent spring washer to counteract the effect of "a loose screw. Another wasted s100O00 on similar de- vice which didn't happen to work"
