HERO SAVED THE TOWN.
J. D. Adams at Hatton, WASH, Does a
Daring Piece Of Work-Grabbed
Giant Powder From Fire.

Hatton, Wash, July 22.-At the risk
of his own life, ]. D. Adams rushed
among kegs and boxes of black and
giant powder to extinguish burning
hay which had ignited from sparks
from a passing locomotive.
During the morning hours a crew of
teamsters from the railroad camps of
the ST. Paul road started in to unload
a car Of powder which had been
spotted" on the siding next to the
depot, and just down the hill from
the town.
The car stood On what Is known As
the rear house track, placing the de.
pot between it and the fhAin line
where it is also necessary for teams
to come to unload, bringing them
within a few feet of passing trains
from either direction. Both teamster
and helper had been carrying the
giant powder from the car onto the
wagon, and had almost the entire
body of the wagon filled when train
was heard approaching, making it nee
essary that the driver get upon the
seat to give attention to his team,
which was becoming frightened at
the approaching cars.
It was while in this position and
during the time the helper was in the
car shifting boxes for hauling that
sparks from the passing locomotive
fell among the hay, which was in the
bottom of the wagon to lessen the
80 IN ho, ~
among the boxes of dynamite which
were piled high in front, causing
large blaze, which was discovered by
| Mr.. Adams when he came out Of the
car carrying a key of powder to COM
plete the load.
| Having had experience in handling
freight of this class, Mr.. Adams at
once recognized the danger in which
himself and the whole town were
placed should the explosion occur.
Without saying word to the driv-
er, Adams threw the can he was car
rying to the ground, and with bare
hands dived into the fire, throwing
boxes in every direction and scatter
ing fire as best he could, but which by
|
wagon, with boxes and cans in it's
midst.
The teamster, by this time being
able to hear the commotion in the
rear, realized, too, the importance of
quick work and rendered what assist
ance was possible aside from caring
for his team, which had by this time
become almost uncomfortable, and
which later broke into run, scatter
ing boxes and cans right and left.
| There is no doubt that had 1t not
been for the prompt action Of Mr..
Adams the entire car of explosives
would have gone of, completely de-
molishing the entire town. Mr.. Adams
is receiving congratulations from all
sides for his heroic and timely efforts,
but seems to take it as a matter of
course, that what he did saving 9th
ers was because he found it neces-
sary to do so for his own protection.

MICHIGAN MAN KILLED
WIFE, SON, FATHER.
WAS HIMSELF SHOT TO DEATH
By NElGHBOR AFTER FAIL
ING TO KILL HIMSELF,

Nunica, Mich, July 22.-Henry
Scutcheon, farmer about 80 years
of age, living near this village. Sun
day ran amuck with an ak, killing
his invalid son, his wife and her fos-
ter father.
Scutcheon was later shot by Henry
Mcclellan, a neighbor, whom the
crazed murderer had also attacked.
The dead:
Henry Scutcheen.
- Scutcheon, his 10 year old son.
George aiming, Mrs. Scutcheon's
faster father.
The Scutcheon farmhouse had ap-
parently always been a happy home,
except for the cloud which the sons
invalidism cast over the family.
Sunday, with no warning, so far as
is known, Scutcheon suddenly MUIR
derously attacked his son with an ak.
He crushed the boys head frightfully.
When his wife interfered he turned
on her and pursued the frightened
screaming woman from the house to
the road, where he knocked her down
with his weapon. He then rushed
back to the house and murdered his
foster father in law.
Next he tried to destroy himself.
The maddened man gashed his throat
and wrists with razor and took some
paris green.
His wounds did not weaken him and
the poison did not take immediate
effect.
AK in hand, he returned to the road
where he had felled his wife few
moments before. The first blow did
not kill her and she had been carried
into the house of Henry Mcclellan
nearby. Mcclellan rushed to another
neighbours for help.
When Scutcheon found that his wife
was in the Mcclellan home alive he
smashed a window with his ak, jump
ed through it and again attacked her
This time he crushed her skull. He
then left the Mcclellan home and re
turned to his own house, but when
Mr.. Mcclellan returned from his
search for help the crazed man came
out and started toward him, saying
II want you, too"
II will shoot if you come across the
road" replied Mcclellan, who had
armed himself with shotgun. Despite
the Warning, Scutcheon came across
Mcclellan then shot him dead.
