TWO ACCIDENTS AT SMALL FIRE
Woman Is Seriously Burned and Fire
man Gets Fractured Leg.

FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 16-(Speclal.)-A
small fire caused by an overturned amp
at the residence of p. A. Peterson, l7G5
Maxwell avenue last night. was responsible
for two serious accidents. Mr.. and Mrs
Peterson were away from home for the
evening. and a neighbor, Mrs. Buckingham,
was taking care of their children. A g.
year-old boy accidentally overturned a
lamp. which set fire to curtain. in at
tempting to extinguish the flames Mrs.
Buckinghams clothing caught fire and she
ran screaming into the street. Her cloth
ing above her waist was mostly burned
off, and her face, hands and arms badly
burned. The neighbors carried out the
12-months'-old Peterson baby, who was
slightly burned. and the fire was pat out
with little trouble and before the depart
ment reached the place. While ret urning
from the alarm Henry Kuehl, member
of the Dorsey Hose company. was run over
by the hose cart and his right leg was
fractured above the knee. Mrs. Bncking-
ham was taken to the hospital and will soon
recover, though her burns will probably dis
figure her.

Satisfactory Truck Crop.

Growing sweet corn for canning pur-
poses in the vicinity of Ashville, in
Pickaway county, O., has become a
very important industry. A few years
ago these rich river bottoms were de-
voted largely to general field crops, but
with the erection Of large cannery
conditions have largely changed in this
section. Most farmers now devote
large areas to the growing Of sweet
corn. For the cannery last year about
$500 acres were devoted to this crop
for this one concern. Farmers are paid
about So per ton for the corn delivered.
Stowell's Evergreen is grown extern
sively here. The average yield ranges
from three to three and half tons per
acre. In 1904 the average was about
four tons per acre. Some farmers last
season averaged about five TONS
