Cedar Rapids. March 10.-Elias
Mitchell, of Marion, met death in a
horrible form Thursday evening. He
was found Friday evening; by his niece
dead in his front room, with his cloth
ing entirely burned off.
Leo Blum, lad of about 10 years OF
age, was probably the last one to see
him alive. The boy worked for him
some last summer and was in the
habit Of going to the little home where
Mitchell lived alone and getting sup
per for him. He made the fire and
got supper ready for him Thursday
night, and left him about $3.50, leaning
over the kitchen table, drunk, and with
bottle of whisky nearly full on the
table. Leo filled the lamp before leav-
ing, and it was lighted OH the kitchen
table.
AS near as Coroner King could make
out, after the boy had returned home,
Mitchell knocked over the lamp, which
exploded and set fire to his clothing;
then he ran into the front room, where
he fell and was burned to death. All
of his clothing, with the exception Of
string around his neck and the trous-
ers below his knees were burned en-
tirely off of him and the skin was
burned black all over, the face escaping
more than the rest of the body on &C
count of being protected somewhat by
his arm on which his face was lying.
The woodwork of the front room where
he was lying had caught fire and the
flames got in between the boards and
then went out.
The same mysterious thing hap
pened in the kitchen, the lamp, which
had fallen to the floor and exploded, set
fire to the carpet and rug and burned
out hole, probably three feet square,
and then went out; the tablecloth was
burned around the edges clear around
the table and then had been extin-
guished. The heat, however, seems to
have been great enough to break the
bottle Of whisky. The only explanation
that can be made of the flames being
extinguished is that the smoke from
the explosion and the burning of the
rag carpet was so dense that 1t put out
the fire. The house is very small and
consists of only two or three rooms.
The heat from the burning Of the mans
clothes was intense enough to melt to-
gether penny and a quarter which he
had In purse.

Fort Dodge, March 10.-lEllis Verne
Gatchell, the 6-year-old son of a Fort
Dodge real estate dealer, passed away
at the family home Thursday night,
after three weeks illness. The little
child was first taken ill with scarlet
fever, and few days ago other COM
plications set in. Later consultation
of four Fort Dodge physicians was held
and all decided that the child had
diphtheria as well as scarlet fever.
This is a most unusual condition of
affairs, local physicians stating that
they never knew of al case where a
child suffered from both diseases at the
same time. The child was buried Fri
day afternoon, no services being held
because of the nature of the diseases.
There is only one other case of con-
tagious disease in the city. The little
child Of Rollie Spencer, city editor Of
the Chronicle, is also suffering from
scarlet fever and is dangerously i'll.

Nevada, March 1O-A party Of four
known business men and land
owners of Roland have been made de-
PENDANTS in three different suits for
SANDER, and are also charged with
committing an assault upon three
boys about IL years of age. The de-
PENDANTS in the three cases, which were
filed at the office of the clerk of courts
yesterday, are o. NJ Grove, Ingebrit
Eggland >Erick r. Sheldahl and o. N.
England. The parties who bring the
actions are three widow ladies.
Mrs. Rebecca Johnson, Mrs. f. w. OLE
son and Mrs. Mary Ann kalstad, and
they bring the suits as the next friends
of their respective sons.
In their petitions they allege that on
or about December 10, the defendants
mentioned took their respective sons
into the residence of Mr.. England, and
there. by threats and other means. Sc
cured from the lads an acknowledge
lnent that they were responsible for a
fire which had consumed barn on the
farm of Mr.. Sheldahl a few days pre-
vious. They allege that these stories
were circulated and caused to be cir
culated by the defendants. and have
injured the reputation Of the boys by
their slanderous utterance to the ex-
tent Of $1,000 each. On the grounds OF
assault, by taking the boys into the
house and soaring them into making
a confession, which they now claim Is
not true, they also ask $1,000.
These cases grew out of a circum-
stance that occurred at Roland last
December. The barn on the farm of
one Of the defendants caught fire in
some mysterious manner one Sunday
night, and a day or so afterwards the
defendants IN these cases rounded up
a bunch of four boys. all less than 10
years Of age, and claim that they Sc
cured a confession from some of the
boys to the effect that the four were
in the barn endeavoring to secure some
pigeons, when one OF the boys dropped
a lighted match into the hay, and they
ran away, leaving the barn to burn
without giving the alarm.

obtained considerable publicity, and the
mothers of the lads denied 1t as siren
uously as the other side insisted that 1t
was true. Considerable indignation
was in evidence at Roland for some
time, and it was thought that the mat
ter would be taken before the grand
jury. but that idea was finally dropped.
The defendants are all prominent and
responsible men. The owner of the
burned barn, Mr. Sheldahl, is one of the
pioneer Norwegian settlers Of this
county, having located here over half
century ago, and altho he is "a years
Of age, this is the first lawsuit he has
ever been interested in. Young Egg
land is son-in-law Of Mr.. Sheldahl.
o. M. Grove, the cashier Of the Farm
ers' Savings Bank, was present and as
sisted in securing the confession from
the boys.

bolic acid Friday afternoon, mistaking
the acid as bottle of whiskey. He
had been drinking that afternoon, and
finding the bottle hid behind a desk

big gulp of it before the acid began
to burn him.
He screamed out that he had been
poisoned, and a fellow employe quickly
rushed to his aid, while others called
physician. The man was then TAX
en- to the city hospital, and 1t is
thought that he will recover.
Mr. Dunning, the proprietor OF the
barn had purchased the acid for the
horses. There was about an inch Of
the acid in the bottle at the time, and
nearly all of it was taken by the man.
A stomach pump took some OF the
fluid from his stomach, but his throat,
mouth and stomach are all fearfully
burned.
