COUPLE NEAR DEATH IN
AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE

PASADENA, May 15.-At 2:2O o'clock
this morning the family of ]. p. Thur
man of 376 East Orange Grove avenue
was aroused from slumber by a fire
which came near suffocating the father
and mother of the household. The fire
was due to an overheated wood stove
on the first floor and as Mr.. and Mrs.
Thurman were sleeping directly over
the room where the fire originated they
had a remarkably close call.
Practically all of the front portion of
the two-story residence was gutted,
and as the family had no insurance the
loss is considerable. The house had
been completed but short time.

BOARD OF HEALTH GETS
HELP FROM CHAIN GANG

The board of health yesterday de-
cided to accept the detention hospital
after Mayor Harper had informed his
colleagues that he would have twenty
men from the city's chain gang out
there today to cut weeds and clean
out the premises thoroughly.
The city and the board of public
works have already accepted the
place, but the health board induced
the architect and contractor to make
some Necessary repairs first.
Unless the hospital is taken hold of
at once it will fall into ruin and dis
repair.

Harry RODGERS Killed.

Harry Rodgers, son of Mrs.
Florence Rodgers of this city, was
shot in a difficulty at Wichita
Kansas, several days ago and died
of his wound and was brought here
for interment Wednesday.
1t seems that he was in no wise
to be blamed for the shooting that
the trouble was between two other
young men who had been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Rodgers and that
the party who did the shooting was
partially, if not entirely insane,
and besides shooting Mr.. Rodgers,
he also shot another man and
killed him instantly. The names
and particulars of this double
tragedy were not obtainable at
time of going to prese.
Elder Mclean conducted the
funeral services Wednesday. The
family of the deceased have the
sympathy of the community in
their hour of sorrow.

About the meanest thing that
can be said of a town is that it is
dirty. When a stranger comes
in the very first thing he thinks of
is to size up the streets, lawns,
door yards and alleys. If they are
dirty and ~slovenly he will size the
citizenship up in comparison, and
if a location is his purpose will
pass the town by and go where
things are better looked after and
arranged. Spring is the best
cleaning up time and it should be
a pleasure for all to make the town
as clean and neat as possible.
Sweep your back yards, gather up
the paper and refuse around your
back alleys and help make this
the cleanest and healthiest town
on the map.-Coin (Iowa) Gazette.
