accident, spoke to his attendant.
Il gave him a right good lecture
before 1 left him this morning." said
Sheriff Haviland who spent the night
in the sick room. He laughed lit
tie and promised that he would get
well and not worry
During the past two days, or since
the accident, many reports have been
current regarding the affair, but none
were authentic until Mrs. Byrnes told
her story this morning.
Her husband, and little daughter, ac-
cording to the story, left the house
early in the morning to visit corral
some distance from the house. The
mother was busily engaged in house
hold duties when the little girl ran
into the house crying, Mamma, papa
is sleeping in the corral, and l can
not wake him" Mrs. Byrnes started
for the corral as soon as possible but
when she reached the scene found
her husband walking about the corral.
When she reached his side she dis
covered that his face was bleeding.
She asked him what had happened but
he would not answer. During part
of the remainder of the day he walked
about the house, but remained speech
less. 1t was not until after his gun
had been found in the corral that the
true situation dawned upon his wife
and friends. Even now it is not known
how the accidental discharge occurred
though it is probably that the patient
will revive sufficiently to tell the story
within few days.

BADLY BURNED
BY EXPLOSION
GAS ACCUMULATES IN OIL STOVE
AND SINGES JACK STATT
PAINFULLY.

AS the result of careleSSneSS in light
ing an oil burner in the heating stove
used to warm the bar room of the
State Hotel, Jack Staff, who tends bar
at night, is wearing a bolt of cheese
cloth judiciously distributed in ban
dages over his face and head.
The oil attachment is a new wrinkle
in this part of the country but is an
article of common use in Southern
California and other oil districts. Ii
is an arrangement which may be at
tached to any heater or cook stove to
furnish heat for warming or cooking.
Staff is an old hand with such burn
ers, having used many of them In Cal
ifornia and was one of the hrst en-
gineers to drive an oil burning engine
in that country. Ignorance is not, he
admits. the cause for the accident.
The stove had been used for some
time. but was still hot and when the
oil was turned on, was full OF gas
The damper in the pipe being turned
the gas could not escape and When
the match was applied to light the OIL

According to the attending physi-
clans report this morning, Deputy
Sheriff Allen Byrnes' condition has
greatly improved, and in all probable
ity. Sheriff Haviland's deputy will soon
be able to resume his duty in Wallula.
Last evening the critical stage was
reached. Mrs. ByrneS, together with
Sheriff Haviland awaited the result
of the turn for the better Or for worse.
1t was early this morning when the
patient opened his eyes and smiled
and then the watchers knew that for
a time, at least, Allen was out of dam
ger. He then asked for something to

appendages were not burned from
around his lips, for his eyebrows this
morning are nothing more than a fond
memory. He called a physician imme-

IN TOBACCO
An Alabama Investigators
Glowing Statement of
What He ound of
A Marvellous Prosperity
Among Growers in Gads-
den County, Florida.

]. NJ Trunk, of Chunchula, Mobile
county, Ala, writes as follows to the
Mobile; Register:
According to my promise to write
you full particulars of my further in
VestigatiOn on the subject of tobacco,
submit to you the result Of my last
weeks trip through the tobacco belt
of Gadsden county, Florida.
The tobacco harvesting season in
Gadsden county is closed and deliv-
cries to the packers are being daily
made, and as a consequence a great
humber of large checks on the local
banks are in circulation. The great
barns on the hundreds of plantations
in Gadsden now release their valuable
holdings in favor of the packing
houses at Quincy, of which there are
thirteen in number.
Every grower has donned an air of
prosperity. Just how many hundred
of thousands of dollars will have
changed hands within the next month
in this county would require consider
able skill to determine, but to see in
dividual farmers who once depended
upon the uncertain sale of a few bales
of cotton each year to keep body and
soul together now hourishing checks
amounting to from $4,000 to 5000,
on an average, would lead the casual
observer to estimate the entire
amount as being nothing short of the
million dollar mark, which l think.
indeed, a conservative estimate. Local
estimates are from three to five mil
lion.
Until eight weeks ago it was
thought 1 200 pounds per acre of shade
tobacco would be above the average
yield for the year, but the dry spell
was succeeded by a delightful rainy
season, which worked wonders in the
tobacco fields and in the disposition
of the planters in general. / have
spent the greater part of a week here
making a thorough inspection OF mod
ern tobacco farming under shade. to-
.bacco curing barns. packing houses,

For the latter privileges l am in
debted to friends made through my
former affiliations in the tobacco busi-
ness. The following will read like
story of Alladin's Lamp, but this in
formation I obtained either direct
from growers in person or from the
packers who issued the checks and IL
is therefore authentic and can be veri-

and 1 Christian Scientist There were
even Dunkards.
The sentences the prisoners must

ried. There are three for murder on
